Mexican bar hire in Pootings, from our truck or trailer
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. It works well for launch parties and big birthday celebrations, serving margaritas, agua de jamaica and soft drinks.
Near Pootings, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Aguas frescas give them something special. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Pootings

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.

It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
