Our standard fully licensed cash bar set-up includes draught Stella Artois and Whitbread Best bitter, a wide range of branded spirits, chilled bottled beers, adult mixed drinks, soft drinks and wines. In order to power the draught cooler and bottle chiller units, access to at least one mains or two generator powered electrical points will be required at your chosen venue.

We are able to procure a temporary license for your event until 11 p.m., or should your event be a special occasion as defined by current licensing regulations, until midnight.

The charge for the licensed cash bar set-up is £250 if booked at least 4 weeks in advance, or £300 if booked within 4 weeks of the event. This charge is based on the bar operating for five hours. The charge includes staffing, and is payable on booking of the event.

Please note that we now have a separate web site dedicated to our mobile bars service. Please visit friendscatering.com for all the latest information on this aspect of our business.

We offer seasonal and early booking discounts on the mobile bar hire charge. Please call us on 01273 591058 or e-mail us at friendscatering@aol.com for details!

In the absence of adequate washing up facilities at the venue, a range of durable, single-use, disposable beverage service ware is used. Otherwise, glassware is used.

We require a copy of the invitation for your event to process the application for the temporary license. You may download a bar booking form by clicking here which should be completed and returned to use with your invitation or as soon as it is available.
