Is my St Albans booking affected by the London ULEZ zone?

St Albans sits just outside the London ULEZ boundary, so it is not usually an issue. Even if we do pass through the ULEZ for other reasons, all travel charges are always included in your price. You will not pay a penny extra.

Can I book a bartender in St Albans during the St Albans Film Festival and street markets (various dates)?

Yes, you can absolutely book during the St Albans Film Festival and street markets. Just be aware that some city centre roads get busy or have temporary closures. We only allow 30 minutes for setup so if road access is a little tricky, we recommend mentioning the St Albans Film Festival and street markets when you book and we can advise on whether to allow some extra setup time.

What if my venue in the city centre near George Street in St Albans 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 St Albans?

Yes, we cover all of St Albans and the surrounding area, including Hemel Hempstead, Radlett, Berkhamsted and Barnet. We also offer a cocktail making class in St Albans. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK!

How far in advance should I book a bartender in St Albans?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and during popular periods in St Albans. That said, we are flexible and can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings.
