Which bar arrangements can I discuss?
A stocked and staffed bar, or a vintage wooden dry-hire bar for your own beverages. Optional bartender staffing and host-paid, guest-paid or shared-cost drink arrangements can be discussed.
How much is wooden dry bar hire?
The vintage wooden dry-hire bar is published from £250, with utensils and ice buckets. Hire period, exact equipment, logistics and other items need agreement in your quotation.
Does an ice bucket include actual ice?
Ice buckets are listed with wooden dry hire. Confirm actual ice, glassware and chilling separately, including who supplies them for your selected drinks.
What is the bartender starting rate?
Bartender hire starts from £33 per hour. Your quotation should confirm the team, duties, chargeable hours and any minimum booking requirement.
What does the £3 per person figure cover?
It is a starting figure for alcohol packages. No drink quantity, duration or unlimited allowance is established by it. Confirm the selection, supply and limits in the proposal.
Is there a minimum booking or minimum spend?
Ask whether a minimum hire period, staffing booking or drinks spend applies to your chosen arrangement. Confirm the amount and conditions in the quote before accepting.
Are the starting prices a complete event package?
No. They describe separately scoped offers. Your written proposal should identify the bar, drinks, staff, equipment, logistics and complete payable total.
What is a cash bar?
Guests purchase their own drinks. Ask which payment methods will actually be available, which drinks/prices are offered and what costs or conditions remain with the organiser.
Can the host pay for drinks?
Discuss an agreed host-paid selection, period and limits. Identify who can authorise changes and how the arrangement is explained to guests.
Can the cost be shared with guests?
A subsidised model can be discussed. Agree the host contribution, guest purchases, selection, limits and the way it will operate before booking.
Which drink categories are listed?
Cocktails, craft beers, wines and spirits are listed, with customised drink menus to discuss. A category does not establish a particular product, stock quantity or included menu.
Can I request alcohol-free choices?
Include that request in your menu brief and ask for the actual selection and service to be confirmed. Do not assume a standard alcohol-free package or ingredient suitability.
Can I supply my own beverages?
Dry hire is offered for client-supplied beverages. Allocate stock, service, glassware, actual ice, chilling and return responsibilities alongside the bar hire.
Do the photographs show the bar I will receive?
The two photographs illustrate a staffed marquee-bar setting and a cocktail-trailer layout. They are not product photographs of the offered wooden dry-hire bar or records of named customer jobs. Your quote should identify the actual bar and equipment.
Can the bar be used outdoors?
Outdoor settings are discussed, but the actual bar, position, facilities, shelter and venue conditions must be assessed for the event. No universal outdoor suitability is promised.
Are permissions automatically included?
No automatic licensing or permission coverage is established. The organiser, venue and bar team need to confirm the responsibilities and conditions for the actual arrangement.
How much space or power does it need?
Share the proposed space, access route and available facilities. Ask for the dimensions, working clearances and utilities needed for the actual bar being quoted.
Is delivery included?
Ask the quote to identify delivery, setup and collection, with the charges and responsibilities for your location. Share the supplier entrance, access route and venue time restrictions before the arrangements are confirmed.
Does the planner calculate drink quantities or a price?
No. It collects your format, payment preference, optional event details and practical requests. It calculates no alcohol allowance, stock, staffing level or price.
Are my planning answers saved or sent?
They remain in page memory. You can review, copy or download a plain-text brief yourself. The tool does not send an enquiry or automatically save answers in browser storage.
Can I make an enquiry now?
Use the separate contact form to send event details for staff review. Availability, equipment, service arrangements and the complete price need a written quotation. Sending an enquiry does not reserve a date or confirm a booking.
What are the deposit and cancellation terms?
Your own quotation and agreement set those terms. No universal deposit percentage, payment schedule or cancellation tariff is published here.
Can the booking change?
Raise changes through the existing booking conversation and ask for their effect on availability, scope and total to be confirmed in writing.
