It was a glorious day in Essex over the weekend and the perfect time to hold our first socially distanced event working with The Wedding Planners. Social distancing events look like they are here for the summer at least, perhaps even longer. Fortunately for the enjoyment of the summer, these events can still go ahead as long as social distancing and PPE guidelines are followed. It may look strange having your bartender wearing gloves and full-face protection but I think we can all agree it makes sense at this time!
This socially distanced event took place in Great Sailing, Essex, at a private residence. It was for a 60th birthday party and took place in the garden with a small number of guests. As it was an outdoor event it worked well as one of our first social distancing events, allowing everyone the space to maintain the 1 meter+ rule.
Although it still seemed a little strange, it is at least a step back towards normality. Our mobile bar was fully cleaned down with disinfectant before and after service and our flair bartender was donned in full protective gear. As with all our mobile bars, a fully inbuilt handwashing facility was also available to ensure we can maintain the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness throughout service.
The client decided on our 2-meter craft wood mobile bar for the event and our Monroe package, which is part of our inclusive drinks range. The Monroe package includes 3 cocktails, a beer, a wine, spirit and mixers and a range of soft drinks. The guest decided on 3 classics for the cocktail range, with a pornstar martini, a cosmopolitan and a mojito. Get in touch to see our full range of different inclusive packages for events.
All of our mobile bars come fully kitted out with insulated ice wells, a sink and tap, speed rails, and all associated barware. You can also opt for an integrated fridge or a draught beer machine! Although you can choose just to have a mobile bar from us, we also have some of the finest flair bartenders and mixologists on offer. For this event, the client opted for one of our flair bartenders to add a little extra fun and entertainment to the event. With social distancing, it’s fair to say we need all the extra fun and entertainment we can get at the moment!
