So, you've decided that The Ale Van could be the perfect mobile bar for you. In that case, you should get in touch and provide us with as many details as possible (date, venue, number of guests) and whether you require an "open bar" or "cash at the bar" service. Following confirmation of your date(s), you'll receive your tailored quote, followed by a menu proposal, for your approval. A deposit is required to secure your booking, and any remainder can be paid at your convenience - all we ask is that balance is settled 14 days in advance of the event. Finally, we'll turn up on the day, ensuring all of your requirements are met at the agreed time.
FAQs...
What's on the menu?
We specialise in serving independently produced drinks, however, exceptions often include our bottled lager and spirits. We serve a great selection of wine on request, as well as mixers and soft drinks.
Do you take card?
We are often asked how guests can pay at the bar - we have mobile chip and pin card terminals available allowing your guests to pay by card. We also accept cash and have voucher systems should you wish to prepay for any drinks or give vouchers as a gift to your guests.

What about glassware?
In an effort to adhere to UK health and safety guidelines, we serve from "plastics" as standard, whether that be pints, rocks, shots or flutes. We are able to provide glassware for tables or for the bar, on request.

Do we need a license?
Yes, although we take care of everything like that, and the cost will be included in your quote. We're also fully insured.

The Ale Van won't fit...
Don't panic! We love building bespoke bars for events - inside buildings, marquess or out in the open. We're also able to supply our usual great selection of drinks alongside everything else you'll need for an awesome "help yourself to drinks" event!
