About our Mexican bar hire in Freshwater
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: agua de jamaica made with hibiscus, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. For fairs and community events and end-of-year parties, we can serve aguas frescas, Mexican beer and agua de jamaica for your guests.
In Freshwater, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall, with access for the truck or trailer. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Common questions in Freshwater
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints' Church?
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 at coastal events near Freshwater?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. Find your area.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
