How our Mexican bar hire works in Pondwell
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. It works well for end-of-year parties and wedding drinks receptions, serving agua de jamaica, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks.
In a rural spot like Pondwell, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In December, the light goes in Pondwell at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A bar spot away from homes
Out-of-the-way places like Pondwell take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Pondwell: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Pondwell?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Pondwell from central London?
It is about 70 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
