Hello Girls and Boys

Does anyone know of a company that would hire out a car? not the alcohol but the actual bar with some fridges and some speed rails and glasses, glass mats etc. Claire, does your pop know of anywhere?

We are stocking the bar ourselves from lovely Francais.

Hope you can help me

Rools m&d called in on there way back home so i asked for you and he answer was basically no one will hire the stuff out, becoz of health and safety issues, my Mum wont do a bar with lager becoz its so volitile and you really need to know what your doing. He suggests that if you want to run your own bar you ask marquee people if theyve got one you can hire but then youll need to get glases etc maybe from caterers and he suggests that you use cans etc of lager and beer, bottles of wine etc etc etc to keep things cool he usually uses big dustbins full of ice!! They defo wont supply fridges and running bars etc etc.
Places like Fosters will do a bar or he said maybe some big places in London but will insist that stuff is in a celler etc that someone from the company is there and will charge mega bucks ie about £200 and thats with no booze or anything, he also thinks theyd be reluctant to do it in a marquee and for this sort of event. Sorry to put a damper on things hun.

Thanks Claire, we are quickly going off the idea now of having a free bar and going to Francais...not just for hiring reasons but for the cost implication. And my mum told me yesterday that people wouldn't like a free bar as they would get embarrasses and wouldn't want to have much to drink ....erm

Rools hun IMHO & my dads free bars actually are better!!!! We limited ours to only having wine and beer etc no spirits however my dad go round after the meal with brandy and malt whisky.We had pimms or champagne to start, wine with the meal, champagne toast and then people get get the above if they wanted it. Dad charges on a sale or return babis so what you dont use you dont pay for, i suggest that you try and find something like this. Want anymore advice help etc shout and ill do what i can!!
