Having chosen to hold your wedding at Hargate Hall, we want you to have the best bar options available to you for your drinks. We often get asked about drinks packages, and people are surprised when we say we don’t have one! We believe that a DIY wedding means you can do your own thing, even when it comes to drinks. Not only that, WE DON’T CHARGE CORKAGE either.
For some people though, organising the drinks can be daunting. How much do you order? What do you order? Who will clear up? So to help with this we do actually offer 3 “Packages” listed below, however if you want something that is not detailed here, just ask us!
Bar Option 1 – DIY
Our default offering. You can use the bar setup that we have in the entrance lobby. There are 2 bottle fridges, a freezer, shelving for drinks and glasses. You can then sort out all your own drinks (and glassware!) etc. For a small fee (£25) we have a hand pump that can be connected to a cask we can give it a line clean and connect up your cask. We also have a beer cooler that you can hire (£50) which connects to SanKey and KeyKeg fittings, which covers most of the 1 way beer kegs and standard kegs on the market including those from our local Eyam Brewery.
Bar Option 2 – DIY with help
In addition to option 1, you are also able to hire our bar staff & we pour drinks that you provide. We can provide 2 staff to cover pouring post ceremony drinks, through to manning the bar. As in option 1, you provide all the drinks, we would then manage the serving of them. With 3 staff we could also offer clearing glasses and empty bottles as the evening goes on. This will reduce any clear up you have on Sunday morning. You are hiring staff, not paying a corkage charge, so you can choose how long you want then to be around for.
Bar Option 3 – Full Pay Bar
If you just don’t want the hassle and worry of providing all the drinks we can provide a full pay par for you. Not only will be providing the drinks and glassware, but we will also keep on top of the clearing up, for as long as the bar is open. Unlike many venues we don’t charge inflated prices, but are in line with the local pubs, and in some cases cheaper! Equally importantly, we aim to buy from local suppliers where possible
