Whether it’s private parties, corporate hospitality or festivals serving thousands, the same trained team and the same standard of service is behind the bar — and works alongside our Event Catering team so food and drink are planned as one.

Staffed event bars

We run fully staffed event bars, from a single bar at a private party to multiple bars across a festival site. We look after the whole bar, so you don’t have to.

Our team is sized to your expected numbers and peak times, so queues stay short and your guests keep coming back.

  • Single bars to multi-bar festival sites
  • Staffing planned around peak times
  • Draught, bottled and soft drinks service
  • Bar supervisors on every event
  • Clean, well-run bars from open to close

Cocktail bars

Cocktail bars add something special to an event. We run cocktail bars for festivals, corporate events and private parties, with staff who can keep up with demand.

We can work with you on the drinks list so it suits your event, your guests and your budget.

  • Cocktail bars for festivals and private events
  • Drinks lists planned with you
  • Staff able to keep up at busy times
  • Great-looking bars that add to the event

Fully trained, uniformed bar staff

Our bar staff are fully trained and uniformed, so they look the part and know what they are doing from the first serve.

They are briefed on your event before it opens, so they can answer guest questions and represent your event well.

  • Trained, experienced bar staff
  • Uniformed, professional appearance
  • Briefed on your event before opening
  • Supervised by experienced bar managers
  • Friendly, fast service

Private parties, corporate hospitality and festivals

Every type of event needs a different kind of bar. We run bars for private parties, weddings and celebrations, corporate hospitality and large festivals.

Whatever the size, you get the same trained team and the same standard of service.

  • Private parties and celebrations
  • Weddings and family events
  • Corporate hospitality and staff events
  • Festivals and public events
  • Events from small numbers to thousands

Personal licence holders on the team

Our bar team includes personal licence holders, so there is always someone who understands the licensing side of selling alcohol.

That helps make sure alcohol is sold properly and in line with the premises licence or event notice for your event.

  • Personal licence holders on the team
  • Understanding of licensing requirements
  • Working to the conditions of your licence
  • Support with licensing questions

Food hygiene Level 2 certified

Our team holds food hygiene Level 2 certification, so bars are run cleanly and safely, whether we are serving drinks, snacks or garnishes.

Good hygiene keeps your guests safe and keeps your event on the right side of environmental health.

  • Food hygiene Level 2 certification
  • Clean, hygienic bar set-ups
  • Safe handling of ice, fruit and garnishes
  • Cleaning routines throughout the event

Bar build, set-up and breakdown

We don’t just staff the bar — we can build it, set it up and take it down again. That means one team handling the whole bar from arrival to departure.

Bars are set up and ready before guests arrive, and cleared away quickly once the event finishes.

  • Bar build and set-up before the event
  • Bar layout planned for fast service
  • Stock and equipment set out ready to serve
  • Breakdown and clear-away after the event
  • Bars built and staffed with our partners at events from 1,000 to 20,000 capacity

Responsible alcohol service and age checks

Selling alcohol responsibly protects your guests and your licence. Our staff check ages, refuse service when they need to and keep an eye out for anyone who has had too much.

It is part of running a safe, well-managed bar that you can be confident in.

  • Age checks for anyone who looks under age
  • Refusing service when needed
  • Looking out for intoxicated guests
  • Working with security and event control
  • Keeping records where required
