Frequently Asked Questions
-
WHAT DRINKS DO YOU SERVE?Draught beer, bottled beer, wine, champagne, cider, frozen drinks and cocktails plus we can also offer a tea & coffee service. We can serve pretty much anything! If there is something you would like served at your function that isn't listed here, let us know and we will make it happen.
-
DO YOU DO TABLE SERVICE?Table service can be an option, however it would require more staff and expense on your part. We prefer to serve from the Mini Bar itself, but happily collect empty glasses and bottles throughout the event.
-
HOW DO YOU KEEP THE DRINKS COLD?The Mini Bar has a 330L Bar Fridge to keep all your bottled drinks icy cold. We also have ice bins and a 2 Keg chiller for those nice cold frothy beers. For large parties we suggest a chiller trailer, most liquor stores have one available to hire.
-
DOES THE MINI BAR NEED POWER & WATER?Yes, we will need power for the lights and fridges. However we can provide a generator if necessary. Access to a clean water source nearby is preferable.
-
WHAT AREAS DOES THE MINI BAR SERVICE?We are based in North-West Auckland and will travel within a 25km radius of Waimauku free of charge. If you fall outside this area and want to have The Mini Bar at your function travel fees will apply.

DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?Yes, a 25% deposit is required to ensure your date is secured and the balance will be due 5 working days before the event. The initial 25% deposit is non-refundable if the booking is cancelled. We do allow rescheduling (provided you give us 5 working days notice) for no additional fee but the refund policy is still based upon the original event date.

WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE AND AFTER THE EVENT?We will arrive at least 1 hour before your event to setup, stock fridges and chill kegs. After the function we will collect glassware and clean up, however you will have to take care of disposing of rubbish and recycling after the event.

DO WE NEED A LIQUOR LICENSENot if you're a private event on private property and supplying your own alcohol. However if you are in a public space or licensed premises OR wanting us to supply the alcohol we will need to apply for a 'Special Liquor License' from the local council. We do have a licensed Duty Manager but you will need to provide us with at least 60 days notice of these events to file appropriate paperwork.
