Can you set up at student accommodation near the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University?
We certainly can. Student halls, shared houses, rented flats and any other type of accommodation all work perfectly. Your bartenders travel to you with all the equipment needed to prepare your chosen cocktails.
Can your team access venues near the High Street and St Peter's Street in Canterbury with all the equipment?
Yes. While the High Street and St Peter’s Street are pedestrianised, we are experienced at finding nearby drop-off points and loading bays. Our equipment is designed to be portable, so a short walk from the nearest vehicle access point is no problem at all. We may need to book additional setup time for pedestrianised locations, so please enquire about this before booking and we can advise.
What if my venue in the historic city centre in Canterbury does not have parking nearby?
No problem at all. Your bartenders are used to city centre setups across the UK. All parking costs are included in your booking and our team will find suitable parking near your venue, whether that is an NCP, pay-and-display, or a residential street. You do not need to arrange anything for us.
Do you cover areas outside Canterbury?
Yes, we cover all of Canterbury and the surrounding area, including Whitstable, Faversham, Ashford and Sittingbourne. We also offer a cocktail making class in Canterbury. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK!
How far in advance should I book a bartender in Canterbury?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and during popular periods in Canterbury. That said, we are flexible and can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings.
