Do you supply alcohol?
No, we do not supply alcohol. All alcohol and beverages are to be provided by the event organiser, venue or catering company. We operate as a BYO caravan bar, which means you will save a fortune by avoiding the heavy cost of mark-up’s on drinks!
‍
Do you need access to power or water?
We do not require water to operate. We use power to run lights and fridges, so power is preferable but not required. We can run off grid using ice in chilly bins. We have a very quiet generator available at an additional cost if needed.
‍
Are glasses included?
We have found that most venues or event organisers are happy to organise their own glassware. However, we can offer glassware as an add-on or a complementary pick-up service for any hired glassware. We can work with you to figure out what glassware is required depending on what we will be serving and how many guests will be attending.
‍
Do you travel?
We are based between Auckland and Mangawhai but we love road trips and will happily travel. Additional travel expenses will apply for any bookings beyond the Auckland - Kaipara region. Please contact us to discuss your location and the cost.
‍
How much alcohol do we need for our event?
Figuring out how much alcohol you will need is probably one of the toughest parts of your event planning but don’t worry - we are here to help. We will provide you with a guide and assist you in calculating the amount of alcohol you need.
‍
What if I need more staff?
Not a problem. We can easily arrange more staff if having a large event.
‍
Can I hire the caravan bar without staff?
Yes, we offer a dry hire fee if you have an event that does not require staff.
‍
What do I need to organise prior to the caravan arrival?
A flat, clear, accessible site to the dimensions of our caravan and trailer (listed below). Access to power (if required, we will add the cost of a generator). Access to the pre-chilled beverages on the menu.
‍
What are the caravan dimensions?
Length: 5m including drawbar
Width: 1.9m
Height: 2.5m
