Useful Information

Licencing and Legal

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

With regards to Licencing, venues fall into 2 categories:

Licenced Premises
If the venue is a Licenced Premise, we must have
permission from their Premises Supervisor for our bar to
operate there. You must get this permission (verbally is fine)
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.

Unlicenced Premises
If the venue is not a Licenced 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.

If you event is for more than 499 people, we can still provide your bar, please contact us to discuss Licencing.

If you are not sure whether your venue is Licenced or not, and wish to book our service, we will be happy to make those enquiries for you. Licencing can be daunting if you haven’t dealt with it before and we don’t claim to be experts, but it is an integral part of our business and we are happy to deal with it as part of our service.

If you are wishing to rent our bar equipment and not resell any alcohol, you do not need to obtain a Licence. If you do intend to sell any alcohol you need to get permission from the Premises Supervisor or obtain a TEN as above. In these circumstances the responsibility for obtaining this permission or TEN is yours, but we will be happy to give advice if required and the TEN form can be downloaded from this website.
