How our Mexican bar hire works in Poverest
Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re alcohol-free, so every guest can enjoy them. Popular choices include soft drinks, agua de jamaica and Mexican beer, and it is a good fit for garden get-togethers and taco nights and themed parties.
For a drinks reception in Poverest, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What affects the price in Poverest
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Serving staff
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- A clear area in front of the bar
London streets around Poverest can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

Questions from Poverest
Where would you park in Poverest?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you cover Poverest?
We do. We serve at events in Poverest and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Sunset in Poverest is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
