One bar service.
Five very different occasions.

The way we serve a wedding should not feel the same as the way we serve a festival. That is why we shape the setup, menu and service style around what you are actually planning. We will help you create the perfect day from reception cocktails and signature drinks to last orders before the carriages arrive.

Good to know

Frequently asked
questions.

A few of the things we are asked most often when people are planning their bar service.

01 Do you provide cups or glassware? +

High-quality plasticware is included as standard at every event. If you would prefer glassware for a wedding, corporate event or other suitable occasion, this can be supplied at an additional cost.

02 How much is the deposit? +

Our booking deposits start from £150. This includes the first 50 miles return travel from our base in NE12. Mileage is charged at 50p per mile thereafter.

03 Can we choose the drinks menu? +

Yes. We agree the menu with you before the event and tailor the drinks offering around your occasion and guests.

04 How does the prepaid/token bar work? +

You decide how many drinks you would like to cover and we can operate a token system for your guests. Once their included drinks have been used, the bar can switch to guest-paid service if required.

05 Can we have an open bar? +

Yes. We can arrange an open bar with an agreed menu and spending arrangement. A deposit is required when booking, which will be deducted from the final bar bill at the end of the event, or reimbursed to you if it is not reached.

06 Can you provide a cocktail reception? +

Yes. We can provide dedicated cocktail or welcome-drink receptions either before the main bar opens or as part of your wider bar service. For weddings, this can include bespoke Mr & Mrs cocktails.
