Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field

Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

Do you provide bar staff?

Planning a drinks bar in Hillway

Once the ceremony at a church like Bembridge Methodist Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Historic buildings near Hillway often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that’s your venue. Drinks by the sea could work, as Hillway is within about 3 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Comparing your options
A generic bar does the job, but a Mexican bar with margaritas and aguas frescas feels like part of the theme. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- We cover Hillway and the whole of the Isle of Wight

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, sunset in Hillway comes at roughly 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Tell us when you want service to start
How to get a price
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
