FAQs for Queen's Bower
Could you come to a seaside event near Queen's Bower?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We’re having a ceremony at All Saints' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
