Tips for a smooth bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Plan water alongside the bar

- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Plan transport home for guests
When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A summer drinks reception in Bidden has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
