Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Winter evenings in Orpington close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
