Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A late-September party in Chattenden loses the light at about 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
