FAQs
Common questions you may have for us.
If you have any other questions not listed below, please get in touch with us.
Q: Are you licensed and insured?
To authorise the sale of alcohol a TEN (Temporary Event Notice) is legally required. But don’t worry we will organise this on your behalf with the local authority, and this cost is covered in your booking fee for the cash/host bar. Unfortunately we do not offer a TEN for the dry hire package. We would require notice of this at the time of booking as different councils require different notices. We also hold all relevant insurances to operate our Horsebox including Public Liability Insurance and a Personal Licence.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
We would always advise to get in touch with us as soon as possible to ensure that we have your date available in our diary. However if you come across us at short notice please still get in touch as your date may still be available! We require at least 3 weeks notice for the cash/host bar package so that we have time to apply for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) with the local council for your event.
Q: Do you take card payments?
We take cash and card payments, and we do not charge a fee for card payments.
Q: Do you require power and water?
We can just hook up straight to mains power. We do not require a water supply.
Q: Do you provide your own staff?
We provide fully trained staff ready for your event. At least one member of staff will hold a personal licence, and all staff will be in a Tipple Tin uniform.
Q: Where are you based?
Tipple Tin is based in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, but we love a good party so are happy to travel! Our travel is included within 40 miles of (HU4), anything outside of this radius will incur a charge per mile. Please contact us for details on this cost.
Q: Can we customise the bar menu?
If you have a favourite tipple, why not get it on the menu?
You tell us what drinks you want and we'll do our upmost to get them for you. This can include specialist spirits, welcome drinks, table wine, champagne/prosecco for toasting, and even Mr & Mrs Drinks. We can create a bespoke drinks package especially for you!
Q: What time do you serve until?
We will try and serve as long as you require us for, however this is guided by local licensing and venue restrictions. We can discuss all of these details in advance with you and liaise with your venue.
Q: When do you need to set up?
Ideally we will require a minimum of 3 hours to fully set up at your event. If possible we would like to view the venue before the date if we haven’t been before so we can see the area where we will be setting up. We will liaise with the venue to make sure everything is set up perfect and runs smoothly on the day of your event.
