02 - Drinks Menu

Garden Party Cocktail Menu.

Garden parties call for light, refreshing serves that hold up in warm weather without demanding a full cocktail bar setup. Our most popular outdoor menu combines Pimm's Cup, Aperol Spritz, Elderflower Gin Fizz, Mojito, and a chilled Rosé Sangria. Prosecco and sparkling water on arrival round out the welcome. We build the menu around your event time, afternoon parties lean lighter; evening garden parties can take something with more weight.

Non-alcoholic cocktails are included as standard: alcohol-free Spritz, Virgin Mojito, and an elderflower and cucumber cooler cover every guest. See our full cocktail menu for the complete drinks list and seasonal options.

Our bar unit is fully weatherproof on the service side, but we recommend a 3m x 3m gazebo minimum if rain is forecast, we can advise on suppliers when you book.
