How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Sunset in Whiteley Bank is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Details of power and water on site
Out-of-the-way places like Whiteley Bank take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
