FAQs: Garden Party Bar Hire
Can you set up a bar in a small London garden or terrace?
Yes, we regularly work with compact outdoor spaces, especially in Central London where gardens and terraces may have limited access or square footage. Our mobile bars are modular and can be adapted to fit patios, rooftops, courtyards, or even large balconies. We’ll review your space in advance and suggest the best layout to keep service flowing smoothly without overcrowding the area. We’ve even provided full-service bar setups in garden squares and shared spaces. Just send us a few photos or a floor plan, and we’ll tailor the setup accordingly.
What happens if it rains or the weather changes?
We always plan ahead for weather uncertainty, especially in the UK. We’ll ask in advance whether you have cover such as a marquee, gazebo or awning, and we’re happy to adapt our setup around that. Our bars can be placed under temporary structures, and we can bring covers for equipment and stock if needed. If you’re hiring a marquee, we’ll coordinate with your supplier to ensure the bar fits seamlessly inside. We’ll also adjust the drinks menu if necessary — switching from frozen cocktails to something warming and comforting if needed.
How far in advance should I book garden party bar hire?
For spring and summer events, we recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for Friday and weekend dates. Central London garden parties are increasingly popular, and our availability tends to book up quickly between May and September. That said, we can often accommodate last-minute requests if availability allows. Early booking gives us more time to plan your drinks menu, staffing, and any additional touches you may want to add — such as glassware upgrades, styling elements or cocktail stations.
Do you bring everything needed for the bar?
Yes — we provide a full turn-key service. That means we bring the bar, staff, glassware, spirits, mixers, ice, garnishes, bar tools and anything else required to run a professional drinks service. We’ll discuss power and water access (if needed), and we’ll remove all equipment, waste and materials at the end of the event. You won’t need to coordinate multiple suppliers — just let us know where and when, and we’ll take care of the rest. If your event is dry hire only (you provide the drinks), we can adapt our package accordingly.
Can you offer non-alcoholic or wellness-focused drinks for garden events?
Absolutely. Garden parties are a perfect setting for refreshing, alcohol-free options. We can offer zero-proof cocktails, botanical sodas, fresh juice spritzers, kombucha blends and more — all served in beautiful glassware with premium presentation. If you have wellness-focused guests or want to offer a no-alcohol bar entirely, we can design a stunning menu that delivers just as much flair and flavour. Just let us know your preferences, and we’ll curate the perfect mix.
