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.

Garden Bar Setup Details.
Our team arrives 60 minutes before your first guest. For garden setups, we need vehicle access to within 30 metres of the bar position, driveways, side gates, or rear access are all fine. We carry all equipment by hand if needed, but closer access means faster build. Power is via a standard 13A UK plug socket, an extension lead to the nearest outdoor or indoor socket is all we need.
For gardens without mains power access, we supply a silent generator at an additional cost. We bring weighted parasol covers for sun protection where there's no marquee. 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.

Popular Garden Venues.
Reading and the Thames Valley have plenty of outdoor space for garden parties with bar hire. Private gardens in Caversham, Earley, Woodley, Wokingham, and Henley-on-Thames offer the space and access that makes setup straightforward. Shared and communal gardens also work well with prior management approval.
For hired garden venues, check first that the venue allows an external bar, then we plan the setup around its access and power. Riverside terraces, village hall grounds, and country house lawns also count as outdoor setups and follow the same pricing structure.
Planning a house party that might spill into the garden? Our compact bar unit can be positioned at a patio door to serve both indoor and outdoor guests. For a dedicated outdoor birthday celebration, see our birthday party bar hire page. Garden venues are also popular for wedding bar hire, marquee receptions in particular.
