Any drinks package you offer your guests is entirely up to you. We have a reasonably priced, fully stocked licensed bar, and it can be a pay bar throughout the day and evening. Alternatively, you can decide to pay for all your guests drinks.
More often we will put together a ‘drinks package’ of reception drinks after the ceremony, wine on the table, and a toast. The bar will be open all day for guests to buy other drinks and any drinks after the meal. We have 3 drinks package options to give you a good idea of costs, but of course, these can be tailored to your requirements. If you would prefer to pay for drinks by the bottle/glass, you will see the prices on the information below.
Package 1 – £14.75 per guest Reception

You choose one from our reception drinks options and a non-alcoholic alternative.
