Selling Events

For events where we are going to be selling direct to customers, we reserve the right to exercise all obligations we have under the WA Liquor Act, in particular the refusal of service to intoxicated patrons or guests and also the refusal of service to minors.

Client Supplied Drinks

If the client is supplying their own drinks, the drinks must be already chilled when we arrive at the event. If this does not occur, a surcharge for extra ice may apply. This is to ensure the enjoyment of all guests.

Refrigeration and Ice

Ice can be supplied by either the host or The Little Bar Cart at a cost. Please refer to our pricing for 110L Insulated Esky and ice. For larger events, the host should consider refrigeration or mobile coolroom options. Additional ice is charged at $6.00 + GST per 5kg bag. Events with cocktail service, require additional service ice.

Staff

For TLBC to be able to execute your event at the highest level of service we are renowned for, the appropriate amount of staff should be hired for your style of event and number of invited guests. For events with cocktail service, additional staff will be required. As experienced hospitality professionals, we will advise during the quoting process, how many staff will be required to execute your event.

Pack-up/Bump-out

Half an hour pack-up is included in your event. Generally, for most events, this is adequate. However, some events can be extremely busy, or access may be difficult making pack-up a little more challenging and additional time may be required. If necessary, additional time may be charged after your event. This will not exceed an additional half hour.

Parking

We require parking for a vehicle with trailer at the event. If parking is not available, we can arrange a drop and go service which will incur a surcharge of $120 + GST.

Vehicle Access and Bump-in

We require clear access at the venue to be able to bump-in the cart. For inner city locations such as high-rise buildings, please ensure we have a height clearance of at least 2.5 metres, to where we are required to load in from.
