The Liquid Inn

FAQs

• What services do you offer?

  We offer a fully customisable mobile bar service to suit your needs. Everything from the drinks we serve the way our set up looks can be determined by you. We have several different bars to achieve multiple different looks. We can match our bar to any theme

• How does the open bar work?

  A fixed amount of money is placed behind the bar. Guests can drink without paying until the money runs out. When the money has run out we can either start charging the guests or put all drinks on a tab to be settled at the end of the evening by the organiser

• Which areas do you cover?

  We are based in the South West of England, with easy access to major motorway routes. We are happy to travel around the UK.

• Do you organise an alcohol licence?

  The Liquid Inn will acquire a temporary licence for your event. We do require 3-4 weeks’ notice to obtain licences.If your venue already has a ‘premises’ licence an additional one is not required, unless our bar will be operating outside their usual opening hours.

• Do you carry insurance?

  We have Public Liability and Employers Liability insurance for every event.

• Can your bars be set up anywhere?

  The general answer is yes! We will require information about access, flooring (if any) and electricity supply (if available), prior to the event. If necessary we can provide a generator for our electricity, provided we know in advance.

• Do you require an electricity supply?

  It’s ideal if we can use an existing electricity supply for our coolers, fridges, lights etc. But if none is available we can supply a generator.

• How far in advance should I book?

  As we have more than one bar, we can usually service more than one event on a given day. However, do bear in mind that summer weddings are popular, and we would recommend booking some months in advance if possible. In general, we require at least 3 weeks’ notice to obtain a licence. If you contact us with the date of your event, we can quickly let you know if we are available. We will always try to provide you with a service, but no booking is guaranteed until we receive your deposit.

• How much does mobile bar hire cost?

  We require a £200 deposit to reserve your date and this applies as a minimum to all bookings. This is usually refundable, subject to a minimum spend or attendance. Each event is unique and we tailor our service to your requirements. The cost will depend largely on the number of guests. If you are not hiring a cash bar we can provide ‘per head’ packages to meet your budget. The best way to calculate the cost is to contact us for a quote.

• How long do you need to set up your bar?

  In most circumstances this is about an hour. This may vary depending on the location or the complexity of any ‘theming’. We always ensure we arrive in good time and will let you know from what time we will require access to the site and how long we will need to dismantle the bar after your event.

• Do you supply Staff?

  Our professional staff team are hospitality trained.

• What about glasses and other accessories?

  We can provide disposable glasses or other glassware. We can also provide napkins, drinks stirrers, straws and beer mats if required. Please discuss your requirements with us.

  We have coolers and fridges to ensure that drinks are served at the correct temperature. We also use and provide ice.
