Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
