About our Mexican bar hire in Hartley
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: agua de jamaica made with hibiscus, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re alcohol-free, so every guest can enjoy them. At engagement celebrations and company summer parties, we will put together a menu of margaritas, soft drinks and agua de jamaica.
Around Hartley, a drinks bar suits garden parties and village-hall celebrations. 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 the service around your numbers.

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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
