How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. By late September, sunset in Tipner comes at roughly 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Drinks bars for events in Tipner
Tipner is about 1 mile north-west of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. For an event in Tipner, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Tipner. We cater in 19 places across Portsmouth. We cater right across the region, from Tipner to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like St Saviour's Church gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. A gathering in Alexandra Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles generally need permission. The coast is within about 3 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots typically need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
This part of Portsmouth takes in PO2, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Knox Road, Croft Road and Whaley Road or the roads around them.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
