Options for arranging drinks
We generally do not supply drinks as we find the vast majority of clients prefer to source their own. We do not charge corkage.
Majestic Wines
Should you prefer us to supply the drinks we would source them from Majestic Wines. See: http://www.majestic.co.uk We would pass the cost onto you plus a 10% handling charge.
Glasses
Usually off-licenses will lend glasses free of charge but you are unlikely to get the quantity or quality of glasses you need. We can hire them at 20p each for standard design and 30p each for elegant design.
Cooling drinks
There are 3 options here
1. Hire a wine fridge from your marquee supplier (approx £60)
2. Buy 15-20 bags of ice and some plastic dustbins
3. Ask you’re off license to deliver wines pre-chilled to the venue
How much drink to order
Two drinks per person on arrival
Two glasses of wine with the meal
One glass of sparkling wine or
Plus plenty of non-alcoholic drinks
As a general observation we notice that most clients order far too much drink! Our minimum quantities above are usually about right. Each 75c1 bottle of wine will yield 6 glasses.
