A 24 × 330ml case gives you 24 individual cans, so start with the number of servings your garden party needs rather than assuming one case is enough. If guests have different preferences, consider a no-sugar option alongside regular cola; choose a specifically labelled caffeine-free drink when avoiding caffeine matters. Check the current pack label for ingredients and nutrition information before serving.
Individual cans make it straightforward to offer different flavours and sugar or caffeine options. A 24-can case is a useful starting quantity only if 24 servings fit the guest list and the other drinks you plan to provide.
A no-sugar cola gives guests another choice alongside regular cola. Check its sweeteners and caffeine separately: the Tesco Groceries labels distinguish standard Pepsi Max from Pepsi Max No Caffeine No Sugar.
Look for an explicitly caffeine-free drink rather than relying on a no-sugar label. Tesco Groceries lists caffeine in standard Pepsi Max and Coca-Cola Original Taste, while Pepsi Max No Caffeine No Sugar is labelled caffeine-free.
Decide how many individual servings you need, then choose a mix that reflects guests’ sugar, caffeine and flavour preferences.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Serving count | Count cans against guests and expected servings per person. A 24 × 330ml case contains 24 cans and 7.92 litres in total; account for any other drinks. | Will 24 separate cans cover my gathering, or should I plan for more servings or a second flavour? |
| Sugar | Compare sugars per 330ml can on the current label. Tesco Groceries lists 35g for Coca-Cola Original Taste and 0g for both Pepsi Max variants discussed here. | I’d like guests to have a no-sugar choice rather than assuming everyone wants regular cola. |
| Caffeine and sweeteners | Check for an explicit caffeine-free label and read the ingredients and warnings. Tesco Groceries lists caffeine in standard Pepsi Max; its No Caffeine No Sugar variant is labelled caffeine-free, but both list sweeteners. | If someone avoids caffeine or particular sweeteners, I need to identify a suitable can before serving it. |
| Flavour mix | Choose a familiar cola if that is what guests want. Consider a distinct flavour as an additional option when you know it will be welcomed. | I don’t want one unfamiliar flavour to be the only fizzy drink available to a mixed group. |
Tesco Groceries lists caffeine in standard Pepsi Max despite its 0g sugars per 330ml can. Its ingredient information also lists sweeteners and a source of phenylalanine.
Choose a drink explicitly labelled caffeine-free when that matters, and check the ingredient panel for sweeteners and warnings.
Tesco Groceries lists 35g sugars per 330ml can of Coca-Cola Original Taste. This total-sugars figure is not directly interchangeable with the NHS guideline of no more than 30g of free sugars a day for adults.
If guests want different sugar options, consider offering a no-sugar drink as well as regular cola.
A 24-can case gives you 24 individual servings, which may not match the guest count or the number of drinks each person takes.
Plan the number of cans alongside your other drinks; if preferences are uncertain, consider variety rather than several cases of one flavour.

No. Department of Health and Social Care guidance describes the cited promotion-and-placement rules as applying to businesses operating in and selling to England; they do not govern what a private host serves at a garden party. School food standards are a separate framework and should not be treated as garden-party rules.
