Bar Hire Terms and Conditions

Hire terms and Conditions:

1.       Pay Bar Customers - You will have a minimum number of guests attending your event throughout the day. The minimum number required will vary dependant on the offer published on our websites at the time of booking. You will be informed of the minimum number required to qualify for the free hire offer at the time of making your initial enquiry.

2.       Pay Bar Customers - Guests are required to purchase their drinks from the bar we provide for your event. This means that guests are not permitted to bring their own drinks for consumption at the venue.

3.       Reception/arrival drinks arranged by either you or another provider are permitted providing they are for consumption during the pre-meal period. We would ask that you inform us if this is the case in advance so that we know what arrangements have been made.

4.       Table wine and all other table drinks including drinks for toasting arranged by either you or another provider are permitted providing they are for consumption during the meal only. We would ask that you inform us if this is the case in advance so that we know what arrangements have been made.

6.       Pay Bar Customers - We are responsible for the operation of your bar in accordance with the licensing act 2003. This means that the premises used for the event, including marquees or private houses, will have been licensed to permit the retailing of alcohol for the duration of the event and the licensing law will be in operation. If no such license exists for the premises the bar will not be permitted to open. A copy of the license must be available for inspection upon our arrival. If you have selected our license application service we will carry a copy of the license with us.

7.       Pay Bar Customers - We operate a strict policy on underage drinking. Guests that appear to be under 21 years of age may be challenged for photo I.D. in an acceptable format. Acceptable formats include driving licenses, passports or pass approved I.D. cards.

Your payment will be cashed or debited at the time of making your booking and will be refunded to you after your event has taken place. Refunds are processed at the end of each month so you can expect your refund to be credited back to you at the end of the month in which your booking took place.

9.       Deposits will be retained in the event of cancellation of your booking.

13.   You will be required to ensure that we have access to the venue at the time we agree with you for the installation of your bar hire equipment. You must inform us in advance if there are restrictions to the venue access such as time restrictions, parking restrictions or car park height restrictions.
