Drinks bars for events in Penhurst

Penhurst is about 6 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Across the TN33 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Penhurst is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Penhurst to Brighton (24 miles away).

Nearby historic houses include Bateman's (4.7 miles north). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. Serving alcohol in Ashburnham Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Penhurst is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.

We cater events across the TN33 postcode area. For events just outside Penhurst, we cover Steven's Crouch (2 miles south-east), Netherfield (2 miles north-east), Twelve Oaks (2 miles north), Hollingrove (3 miles north) and Brightling (3 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Eastbourne (11 miles south-west), Hastings (8 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (6 miles south-east), Hailsham (8 miles south-west), Crowborough (14 miles north-west) and St Leonards (8 miles south-east).

Nearby you will also find Battle Museum of Local History (3.2 miles east) and Bexhill Hospital (5.8 miles south-east). The countryside around Penhurst includes Senlac Hill.

Prices and what affects them

We quote for your event, and the price is based on:

  • Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • What’s on the menu

Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What to tell us

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • How we drive in and where we can park
  • The date and rough timings
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Roughly how many adults and children

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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 will do the serving.

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Tips for a smooth bar

To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

  • Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
  • Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
  • Agree bar timings in advance
  • Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect

We set up the bar before guests arrive, so drinks are ready when you are.

Soft drinks for drivers.

Penhurst questions

How far is Penhurst from London?

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.

Will you travel to a small place like Penhurst?

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Can children have drinks from the bar?

Always. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?

Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.

How much is the bar?

There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Penhurst.

Who handles the licensing?

That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it through with you.

What happens on the day

We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A summer drinks reception in Penhurst has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk through licensing with you.
  3. We agree a drinks menu.
  4. Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
  5. We clear the bar at the end.

How to prepare

  • Ask the venue about power and water
  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Give us a contact for the day

How to get a price

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
