Mexican bar hire for Whitehawk events
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Whitehawk: your questions answered
Could you come to a seaside event near Whitehawk?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Cuthman's?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. Book the bar on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
