Licensing and Legal

All of our bars, except bar rentals, operate under The Licensing Act 2003.

With regards to Licensing, venues fall into 2 categories:

       1.   Licensed Premises

If the venue is a Licensed Premise, we must have permission from their Premises Supervisor for our bar to operate there. You must get this permission (written or verbal) and confirm that the times you want the bar to operate are within the times permitted by their Licence. You will be required to sign our Terms and Conditions to confirm that this permission has been given.

       2.   Unlicensed Premises

If the venue is not a Licensed Premise and the event is for less than 499 people a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) will need to be obtained. We can organise and pay for this as part of our service or we can assist you to apply for it yourself and deduct the cost (£21) from any fee that we charge. Please allow at least 10 working days for the TEN to be processed. Some councils may take longer. 

If you do not know if your venue is licensed you can either contact you local licencing office or let us do it for you.

If you are wishing to rent our bar equipment and not resell any alcohol, you do not need to obtain a Licence.

Insurance/Certification

The company has Full Employers, Public and Products liability insurance cover. Risk Assessments and Method Statements for large outdoor events available on request.

Terms and Conditions

If you decide to book our bar service you will be required to sign a set of Terms and Conditions which will outline the service we have agreed.
