How do I secure a booking? 

A £150 deposit is payable in order to secure any booking. This fee covers any license application to be made in respect of your event, delivery and collection of the bar to your event site and a minimum of two fully trained bar staff to run the fully stocked bar. 

What access do you need for the horse-box trailer? 

Generally, we require relatively flat and firm ground in order to pitch up. In terms of venue access we require an opening of 3 metre wide and 3 metres high to allow the trailer on to any venue site. The trailer is 4 metres long. However, if you are unsure, we can arrange a site visit to carry out a risk assessment. 

Do you have an alternative if access is not possible? 

Yes. Alternatively to the Cellar Door mobile horse-box bar we can supply the Cellar Door pop-up bar. Built to the same classy and luxurious standard as the mobile bar but in a modular format. This enables access to almost every venue. This bar can be supplied in any size between 1 and 10 metre in length and can also be booked from dry hire only right through to being fully stocked and staffed. 

What power source does the bar require? 

Ideally, we require a 16 amp feed. However, a 13 amp feed would suffice in most cases too. If neither of these are possible then we do have a power generator that we can use to power the bar. 

Do you need a water supply? 

Generally yes. We would generally require a clean consumable water supply to the trailer in the form of a hose connection. This is in order to maintain food hygiene standards as set out by the Food Standards Agency. However, there are some alternative options depending on what type of bar is being used and what drinks are being served. 

How long will the bar be open for? 

This depends entirely on the individual event and can be tailored to your specific requirements. However, we will need to take in to account local alcohol licensing laws and also any venue restrictions that may need adhering to. We will discuss all this at the planning stage of your event. Please note, if your event is planned to end after midnight then an additional fee of £30 per hour, per staff member will be added to the cost of hire. 

What drinks will you supply? 

We strive to make your event as personal to you as possible, this would include liaising with you to produce a drinks menu specifically designed to compliment your event. 

How much do drinks cost? 

Prices of drinks will vary depending on the type of drink. For example, cocktails will generally be more expensive than a pint of lager. However, we also strive to keep our prices within a reasonable range and aim to provide drinks at similar prices to what you would usually expect to pay in a local pub or bar. 

Do I need a license for my event? 

Generally, yes. In order to sell alcohol at a private event or function it is a requirement that a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) is applied for and granted via your local authority. We can arrange this with your local authority on your behalf to ensure your event meets the legal requirements. 

How many staff will you provide? 

A minimum of two experienced bar staff will be provided with each booking. And, at least one of these staff members will be a Personal Licence Holder as per legal requirements. Depending on the size of your event more staff may be required but we will discuss this with you in the planning stage of your event. 

How long do you need to set up? 

Generally, we will require a minimum of 3 hours before the commencement of your event in order to set up. However, this can be streamlined if access does not allow for 3 hours before. If the venue is not familiar to us then we can arrange a site visit prior to your event in order identify and deal with any potential issues. This will ensure your event runs as smoothly and as efficiently as possible.
