LOGISTICS
Q. Do you only do outdoors events?
A. We accomodate indoor and outdoor events, as long as there is sufficient access!
Q. How much space do you need?
A. The Lucky Buck needs a plot of approximately 2x4 metres, but we need to be able to drive up the space as the trailer is towed. We need approximately 2.7 metres of head height (including at access points)
Q. Do you have electrics and plumbing, if its a rural location?
A. Yes! we have our own generator (which isn't loud!) and water supply, so can supply events in more rural spaces such as woodland or fields.
Q. Can you do an event at my home?
A. Yes! Though we may need to secure a temporary events notice, unless your home is a licensed premises. We are used to applying for TEN's and can help you with this, and its included in the cost. Events where we need a TEN need a minimum 4 weeks notice, so that we can ensure everything will be in place.

Q. Do you supply the staff too?
A. Yes, when you hire the Lucky Buck we will ensure at least two members of staff are there for the duration of the event (and more for larger events - depending on requirements)

Q. Do you sell real ale?
A. We don't currently offer draft beer or real ales on tap as standard, but we do stock bottled options which typically includes Camden Pale Ale, IPA, BrewDog - and not forgetting Guinness!
Q. What glassware do you use?
A. Some venues operate a no glass policy, particularly public event spaces or near dancefloors. Therefore, we usually use premium compostable glassware (in line with our sustainability policy) - but don't worry, its not flimsy and looks just like glass, there are images on our instagram if you want to take a look. Where the venue will permit it, and you have a preference, we are happy to explore alternative glassware options with you.
