frio

Frio is a fully customised, innovative mobile food and beverage bar company offering a wide choice of bars for events in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban. The team brings a complete pop up service to corporate functions, expos, product launches, activations, weddings and private celebrations, creating a memorable focal point where guests can choose flavours and add their own finishing touches. From chilled refreshments to indulgent desserts, the range is designed to suit diverse tastes and themes.

A highlight is the mobile Bubble Tea Bar, which can be set up to serve refreshing tea bases with a variety of mix ins and toppings. Frio also offers an extensive line up of beverage concepts that includes a Coffee Bar, Gin and Tonic Bar, Mocktail Bar, Rum Bar, Ice Tea Bar, Lemonade Bar, Milkshake Bar, Hot Chocolate Bar and Slush Bar. Menus can be tailored to the brief, and many bars can be run as an interactive station where guests build a drink to their preference. The Hot Chocolate Bar, for example, features a selection of flavours and toppings to create a cosy treat service in cooler months or evening receptions.

For sweet-tooth moments, Frio’s dessert bars cover everything from classic to contemporary. Options include Rolled Ice Cream, a Scoop Ice Cream Bar, Frozen Yogurt Bar, Popsicle Bar, Gelato Bar, Soft Serve Bar, Mini Donut Bar and a Belgium ffle Bar. Frio manufactures and stocks Italian gelato, which adds a premium touch to the ice cream selections. The dessert stations are designed to be fun and visually engaging, inviting guests to choose flavours, sauces and add ons as part of the experience.

Savoury and snack concepts are also available for more substantial service or crowd pleasers between formal courses. The menu of mobile stations can include a Pizza Bar, Chip and Dip Bar, Prego and Burger Bar and a Candy or Sweet Bar for a playful finish. Each setup is presented as a cohesive bar that fits seamlessly into a lounge, exhibition stand, ballroom or outdoor space.

Customisation is central to how Frio works. Guests are encouraged to create their own food or beverage selection, and every bar can be branded or themed. The company’s designers can build and brand a Frio bar to match specific colours, graphics or messaging so the unit becomes part of the event design or campaign. Friendly, professional and reliable servers manage the stations, keeping service smooth and engaging so hosts can focus on the programme.

For corporate requirements, Frio provides solutions tailored to road shows, team building and in office activations. At expos and trade shows, the bars are used to increase interest at stands, supported by marketing activation specialists and multimedia experts who help bring the brand story to life. For product activations and launches, Frio combines food and technology to encourage interaction, with examples that include brand customised virtual reality elements or mobile ordering to streamline service and data capture.

Weddings benefit from bars that coordinate with the couple’s theme and style. Personalised messages can be added to the stand, and service can be timed for the dessert portion of the reception or during the gap between the ceremony and the reception while photos are taken. The same level of flexibility applies to birthday parties, school events and other private functions, where the ability to brand the bar and let guests create their own treat makes the experience both personal and entertaining.

Whether it is a bubble tea station for a modern reception, a gelato or ffle bar for a dessert market feel, or a branded coffee and mocktail duo for a conference break, Frio supplies mobile bars that are distinctive and event ready. With coverage in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban, a broad catalogue of beverage and dessert concepts, and trained staff on hand, the company offers a polished and customisable bar presence for occasions of many kinds.
