Can I really get my bar hire free of charge?

YES. We will make our money on the drinks we sell to your guests and any drinks packages we supply you with. You pay us a low, returnable holding fee of £100: this secures your date and booking terms.

 

There are just a few minimum requirements you need to meet to qualify for free bar hire with us.

How do I qualify?

  • BOOK A BAR must be the sole provider of drinks throughout your event.
     

  • Ideally we would like you to have at least 100 adult guests (60 within Kent). But this isn't a sticking point. 
     

  • The bar needs to open for the arrival of your first guests.
     

  • A minimum of 4 hours service time is required.
     

  • No minimum spend required!
     

  • Any event type is accepted. 
     

  • Any location covered within UK. 

I don't think I qualify.

I have already bought wine for the tables: 

If BOOK A BAR are not the sole providers of drinks throughout your event then we do have to charge for our services. Take a look at the calculator below to see how much we charge for cash bar hire when we're not the sole providers. 

What if my guests bring drinks in: 


This does happen from time to time. We are used to dealing with this without bothering you on the day.  We will generally go and have a quiet word with the guest and give them the option to let us hold the drinks under the bar till the end of the event.

If you would like this to be an option for your guests you can see how this will affect your free hire options below.

We don’t want the bar open for 4 hours:

Voucher Bar

Pay a set price in advance per voucher for a range of drinks. Send vouchers out with invites or hand out on the day; ensures your guests get their fair share.

Tab Bar

You only pay for what your guests drink. Run your Tab Bar all night or for a set time and budget; after which the service reverts to a cash bar to keep things simple.

Pay Per Head

Pay a set price per guest for unlimited drinks throughout your event - Kids Drink Free*. Options start from as little as £15.00 per guest.
