Planning a drinks bar in Portchester
Portchester is about 3 miles north-east of Gosport, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the PO16 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. We cater in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 13 miles away.
Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that the nearest station is Portchester station, about 0.5 miles north-west. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of St Mary gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. With the sea within about 5 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots typically need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
This part of Hampshire takes in PO16, PO6 and PO17. We can cater an event on streets such as Cow Lane, Hill Road and Ralph Road. Close by, we cover events in Boarhunt (2 miles north-west), Southwick (2 miles north), Elson (2 miles south-west), Wallington (2 miles west) and Priddy's Hard (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Gosport (3 miles south-west), Havant (6 miles east), Eastleigh (13 miles north-west), Fareham (3 miles west), Horndean (7 miles north-east) and Chandler's Ford (15 miles north-west).

- Nearby schools include Portchester Community School (less than half a mile west)

What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
