Mexican bar hire in Westmeston, served fresh

Near Westmeston, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, it is light in Westmeston until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What affects the price in Westmeston
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.

Westmeston questions
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Martin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
Every bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, drinks and hours. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
