Northern Ireland’s only HGV mobile bar
A 15-tonne lorry converted into a fully kitted bar – guests drink inside, not outside or in a tent.
• Built inside a 15-tonne rigid lorry – not a horsebox, trailer or gazebo.
• Guests step up into the truck and drink inside the bar, out of the wind and rain.
• Self-contained bar setup that rolls up, opens, serves and packs down with minimal fuss.
• Works on farmyards, venues, car parks and fields – as long as the lorry can get in.
Two ways to run your bar
We do not hold our own pub licence. All alcohol sales are run through our partner pub under the occasional licence for your event.
Dry bar – or you supply the alcohol
- We bring the lorry, full bar setup, glassware where agreed, and two staff.
- You buy and supply all alcohol and we supply the soft drinks.
- No occasional licence is needed on our side.
- Best if you want full control over brands and stock.
Alcohol bar – we handle the sales
- Drinks sales are arranged through our licensed partner pub.
- They apply for the occasional licence for your date and location.
- The licence fee is added to your quote and paid by you.
- Best if you want the full experience and no hassle.
