Bar provision/supply of alcohol

If you are planning to provide alcohol at your event free of charge to your guests, you are welcome to make your own arrangements either through your caterer or other supplier. In this instance, please notify the Event Manager of those arrangements.

If you wish to charge guests for alcohol at your event, you are required to use one of our bar suppliers. They will ensure that all conditions of our premises licence are adhered to and will provide a Personal Licence Holder to oversee the service.
