Drinks planning tips
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Make sure there is water for guests
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Collect allergy details in advance
We serve responsibly: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
More bar staff for larger crowds.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. By late September, sunset in Swanley comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk licensing through with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
