Optional Add-ons

  • Table or evening wine
    We work with a brilliant organic wine supplier and can provide red, white, rosé — or even orange wine — upon request.

  • Additional Spirits & Mixers
    Our package includes the agreed cocktail menu and a small amount of beer or G&Ts. A fuller back bar (e.g. whisky, tequila, rum, vodka, mixers, etc.) can be added at an additional cost.

    Package includes 1.2 arrival drinks and 2.5 cocktails per guest (max 200 total) — But don’t let us tell you how to party, of course you can add more! Additional drinks can be pre-ordered prior to the event.

  • Extended service hours
    We’re happy to keep the party going all night — or until the booze runs out! — Hourly rates apply for all staff for additional service hours.

  • Real ale or draught beer options via local brewery partners
    If bottled beers don’t do it for you, we work with local Rude Giant brewery to provide real cask ales or chilled draught lager or IPA if you prefer. Additional charges apply.

  • Champagne upgrades
    Ah. You have fine taste! Whilst our house Champagne and English sparkling wine is of exceptional quality, sometimes you want to treat your guests to a premium, Grand Cru Champagne? We’ve got you covered. Talk to us about our sparkling wine upgrades.

    Planning on having a sit down meal? Sounds wonderful! Our package doesn’t cover glassware for this, however we can certainly organise it for you, we’ll add it to our order.
