What Every Booking Includes.

Regardless of which package you choose, every booking with The Sesh Bars includes a portable bar unit, professional licensed bartenders, quality glassware, ice, full setup on arrival, and a clean strike at the end of your event. Public liability insurance (£5 million) and personal alcohol licences are standard — not extras to negotiate.

Our crew arrives 90 minutes before guests to allow sufficient setup time. TEN advisory is included for events at unlicensed venues. A pre-event planning call is standard on all-inclusive and bespoke packages to confirm guest numbers, cocktail preferences, and venue logistics.

TEN Advisory

A Temporary Event Notice (TEN) is required at venues without a premises licence. TENs cost £21, submitted to your local council at least 10 working days before your event. We identify whether your venue needs one and walk you through the application.
