Mexican bar hire in Fratton, from our food truck or trailer
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers aren’t left with tap water. We serve alcohol-free drinks, horchata and agua de jamaica, and it is a good fit for end-of-year and Christmas parties and product launches and client events.
In Fratton, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who aren’t drinking alcohol. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both

- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Fratton: venues, access and licensing
Fratton is about 1 mile south-east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. From the centre of Fratton to the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 19 places in Portsmouth. We cater right across the region, from Fratton to Southampton (16 miles away).
Parks such as Alexandra Park have their own rules on vehicles and alcohol, so check before planning a drinks bar there. If the service is at a church such as St Mary's Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Drinks by the sea could work, as Fratton is within about 2 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
Mexican bar hire in PO1, PO4 and PO3 is planned around your venue and access and timings. We can cater an event on streets such as Renny Road, Clive Road and Union Road. Fratton is on the A288, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Nearby, we also cater events in Kingston (1 mile north-east), Portsmouth (1 mile north-west), Landport (1 mile west), Baffins (1 mile north-east) and Copnor (1 mile north-east).

How the day works

In December, the light goes in Fratton at about 4:00pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
