What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- A bar spot away from homes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Step by step
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Winter receptions in Down Street are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
