Events we cater in Newington
A drinks bar with a theme gives guests something to talk about, more than a standard bar.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Weddings, day or evening
- End-of-year parties
- Big birthday celebrations
- Launch parties
Couples leaving a church such as Church of St Giles could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception.
Questions to ask before booking
- Travel and parking costs
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- When final numbers are due
- When payment is due
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
Step by step
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. Evening drinks in Newington stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
