How our Mexican bar hire works in Lower Pennington
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re alcohol-free, so every guest can enjoy them. We serve Mexican beer, horchata and soft drinks, and it’s a good fit for weddings, day or evening and end-of-year parties.

Planning a drinks bar in Lower Pennington
Lower Pennington is about 1 mile south of Lymington, in Hampshire. Across the SO41 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Lower Pennington is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Lower Pennington to Southampton (about 14 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as Church of All Saints, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. If you’re looking at a historic venue around Lower Pennington, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. The New Forest National Park is within about 6 miles of Lower Pennington, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer. Drinks by the sea could work, as Lower Pennington is within about a mile of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.

FAQs for Lower Pennington
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will talk licensing through with you.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Comparing your options
Wine and fizz are the usual choices. Margaritas and Mexican beer feel more relaxed. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Winter receptions in Lower Pennington are dark by about 4:05pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
