Mexican bar hire for your event in Hersden
Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: agua de jamaica made with hibiscus, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. For company summer parties and product launches and client events, we can serve soft drinks, aguas frescas and horchata and more.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Vehicle access near the bar
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Hersden: venues, access and licensing

Older venues around Hersden may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book.

Drinks by the sea could work, as Hersden is within about 5 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A late-September party in Hersden loses the light at about 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- 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
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
