We are vendor friendly and you may choose your own licensed caterer, although we have wonderful partners who offer discounts! Dinner service must be by a licensed caterer and they must stay to clean and package left-over food. We cannot accommodate "drop-off" service.
Your Licensed and Insured caterer may use our catering prep area. There is water and electricity in the prep area. It is NOT a commercial kitchen, so all cooking will need to be done prior to arriving at the Venue. We will provide 6 ft. rectangle tables for caterer use. Linen's may be rented for $10 per linen by the Catering company payable at time of use.
We allow the HOST to bring their own alcohol. All alcohol will be served by one of our provided friendly, professional bartenders. For insurance reasons we cannot allow guests to BYOB or self-serve. Up to (2) TWO bartenders are included in the Rental price depending on the number of guests.
The Host will need to provide disposable cups, mixers, pop, stir sticks, ice (if not purchasing from Westbrook), napkins or any specialty items to be served. Westbrook has 3 Taps and 3 Barrels for kegs. Ice may be purchased on-site or brought in coolers by Host.
We allow coolers to be placed behind the bar and aluminum cans. Any glass containers MUST be behind the bar and will be dispensed in disposable cups.
