Your drinks. Our mobile bar and serving team.
You bring the beverages and we bring everything else: the bar trailer, the bartenders, the ice and the glassware. It suits hosts who already have a drinks supplier or preferred brands, and want a professional bar setup without paying us to stock it.
Bar Zone is not currently VAT-registered; quoted amounts are not subject to VAT. Travel, venue access, availability and licensing are confirmed in writing.
The bar and the team — not the stock
For R8 500 on the Bar Zone flagship or R6 500 on Nom Bango, you get the trailer, 2 bartenders and a 6-hour service window, with ice and glassware for 100 included. You supply every drink that gets poured; our staff serve it to your guests rather than selling it.
- 2 bartenders for a 6-hour service window.
- Ice and glassware for 100 included.
- Refrigeration, bar tools and the full trailer setup.
- You supply the drinks and handle applicable venue/event licensing. Travel and extra hours are confirmed in your written quote.
A clear split of responsibility
You supply and arrange the drinks and licensing; we supply the bar, the team and the power. Everything below is confirmed in your written quote.
| Area | You supply / arrange | Barzone supplies | Confirmed in quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drinks stock | All beverages — beer, wine, spirits, mixers, soft drinks | Refrigeration, ice, glassware and bar tools | Quantities, brands and delivery timing |
| Licensing | Applicable venue/event alcohol licensing | Responsible-service staff who pour, not sell | Which permissions apply to your event |
| Service | Menu preferences and agreed service window | 2 bartenders for 6 hours | Start/end times and staff handover |
| Site | Vehicle access and roughly 8m × 4m of level ground | Self-contained solar/battery power with generator backup | Travel and any additional site logistics |

What helps us quote Bar & Staff Only
These are planning questions — not new guaranteed inclusions. We don't promise a fixed drink-quantity formula or a capacity figure.
Stock handover
How and when your drinks arrive at the bar — delivered ahead, or handed to our team on the day — and who checks them in.
Menu preferences
Which drinks you'd like served and in what order, so the team can plan glassware, ice and pour stations around your stock.
Service window
When the bar opens and closes — the agreed 6-hour window shapes staffing. Tell us if you need it split across the day.
Refrigeration space
How much chilled storage your stock needs. We carry under-counter fridges and a three-door glass fridge; we'll confirm it fits in the quote.
Other ways to pay for drinks
If you'd rather we stock the bar, a Hosted Bar treats your guests to an agreed per-guest menu, or a Drinks Tab sets a prepaid ceiling and switches to Cash Bar when it's used. See all four options on the packages page.
Questions about bringing your own drinks
Is this dry hire of just the trailer?
No. Bar & Staff Only is the trailer, 2 bartenders, ice and glassware for 100 for a 6-hour service window — R8 500 for the Bar Zone flagship or R6 500 for Nom Bango. You supply the drinks; we supply the bar and the team. It is not structure-only dry hire or standalone bartender hire.
Who is responsible for the alcohol licence?
You are responsible for the applicable venue or event alcohol licensing when you supply the drinks. Our staff serve your stock — they pour it for your guests, they don't sell it to them. We'll help you confirm which permissions apply to your event and venue in the written quote.
What happens to drinks we don't use?
Return of any remaining client stock is agreed in the written quote — how leftover drinks are handed back at the end of service. We don't promise a fixed formula for drink quantities; tell us your guest count and menu and we'll plan stock with you.
