The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In December, the light goes in Banstead at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Planning drinks for every guest
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Share bar opening times
- Have plenty of water available
There are always alcohol-free options, including aguas frescas.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
