Frequently Asked questions

What types of events do you provide for?

We provide bartenders, cocktail mixologists, bar hire and cocktail masterclasses for any special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings, as well as corporate events such as parties, product launches, office openings and festivals

How Many people can you cater for?

We are comfortable up to 2000 guests for cash bars but can cater for more if required. For our Cocktail Masterclasses the maximum is 250 simultaneously, with 750 as maximum (rotating groups)

Can we decide which drinks we would like on our event?

Absolutely, all events are bespoke so we like to hear from you what your likes and preferences are for the day

How good are your prices?

We often check over our current pricelist and amend where needed. We always try to be competitively priced. This is compared to others in the industry

Can I design my own bar package?

100%, talk to us and we can make it happen

Will I need to apply for any licences/permits?

In some cases permits/licences are needed, we will however help you with this part to make it as stress free as possible for your occasion

How long does it take you to set up?

This varies slightly per event and package but on average around 1 hour for small Cocktail Service or Masterclass and 1.5-2 hours for larger service

I would like draught beer/ciders at my event. Can you do this?

We offer a wide range of draught and bottled beer, for events abroad we can even import stock directly.

Do you offer soft drinks, non/Low alcoholic options?

Absolutely, nobody gets left out so.

Do you provide glassware and bar furniture?

Yes

Will I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, deposit varies per package which will be outlined in your bespoke quote

Do you charge for Installation / setup / breakdown?

The price you see is the price you pay, this includes installation/setup and breakdown

What facilities do you need on location?

We are pretty self-sufficient, but depending on the package and services required we may need access to a power socket (13amp minimum). Access to running water is beneficial but we can work around this depending on the location.

What happens if I need to cancel?

We will try to work with you if this arises. Subject to availability we may be able to reschedule your booking to a future date. Please refer to the T&Cs

What is a dry Bar?

A dry bar means that the customer has chosen to provide their own drinks. We provide everything else needed for the service such as bartenders, bar units, refrigeration, glassware, bar tools etc.

Do you dilute (water down) drinks?

It's not just unethical but also unlawful. So No

If I provide my own stock, how much will it cost me?

As a very rough guideline we would say £7 per head

How many cocktails can I have on my menu?

We suggest a maximum of 5 cocktails. This will aid the speed of service and if you provide your own stock will minimise the risk of leftovers

What happens if I don't hit my minimum spend?

If you don't make the minimum spend you would need to pay the difference, your deposit will go towards this.

How many bartenders do I need?

We suggest 1 bartender for every 50 guests, it varies on the drinks required but we will advise you of this at the time of enquiry.

How many glasses do I need to hire?

Normally we tell our customers that two glasses per guest will be enough, provided they have hired somebody to collect and wash these glasses throughout the evening. If not, we recommend allowing four or five glasses per guest.
