Outside events and bars

We are now accepting bookings for 2007/2008 (and beyond!)

in the Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset areas.

We are happy to cater for all needs and likes including real cider, local real ale, interesting wines and of course champagne or sparkling wine. We pride ourselves in the service you receive - it really is a hassle-free night for you and your guests.

And it is not just evening events that we can help with! For 2006 and 2007 we have sucessfully organised the real ale and cider bar at the Salisbury Food Festival - and we are confirmed for 2008! The chance, once a year, to enjoy the market square surrounded by fine local food, stall-holders, interesting foods, real cider and of course beers that are normally absent from the city's pubs.

Organising any event takes time and so the more notice we have the better, and if it is to be a bar that serves alcohol we must apply for a TEN licence at least 10 working days before the event is due to take place. We would like to sit down with you either at the venue, or your home, or you can come here, to talk through all the details.

Our charges for events vary depending on where it is, whether it is for charity or private or business, how many staff are required and how many guests will be there. There may be additional factors such as offering a toast or you supplying your own drinks.

To give a rough idea, less than 100 people in a local hall for a birthday party, with everything supplied by us is £100.00 plus bar profits, whereas drinks for a supper party in your home might be £10.00 per hour per staff member. Please always contact us and we will be happy to help, and these charges are something we will discuss with you when we meet.

We do always ask the customer to pay the £21.00 charge for the TEN (if one is required) as this is a tax outside of our control.

After every event all empty bottles are taken to the recycling bank, any screw caps are seperated and also recycled. Any cardboard boxes or trays are collected by Salisbury District Council's salvage scheme.
Should your event require entertainment or catering we have details of local companies that we can recommend.

You can be confident that your event is in good hands, with no worry or washing up on your part. We supply the drinks, apply for the licence, bar staff, and ice and clean everything afterwards, leaving you to enjoy the event and a professionally run bar.

If you would prefer a "supply only" arrangement or a bar that only serves soft drinks that is also no problem.

Please contact us for more details.

We received excellent service from Abbey Stores for our 25th Wedding Anniversary party. Beer, wine and glasses were delivered promptly and efficiently, and the cask beer set up to be served in "perfect condition".

Thank you so much, Charles, for all your hard work up to and during Will's 21st.  

The bar was run brilliantly and all the boys remarked on the beer - they loved it!

You catered perfectly for a group of 100 rejoicing students and godparents and the wines you suggested were delicious!


In the morning everyone enjoyed breakfast. Orange juice, muesli and bacon butties were just right!  


Thank you very much again for your help. We are very lucky to have such a professional Bar Manager and Catering Supplier in Coombe Bissett!


With best wishes


Kate
