FAQs
Is there are a charge for set up/pack down?
No, set up & pack down is included in the packaged price and we allow an hour at the start and at the end for this.
Do you charge a bond?
Do your staff walk around to serve drinks, or do they stay behind the bar?
Our standard packages include bartenders who will serve drinks from our caravan only. However, if you would like extra serving staff to circulate and serve drinks to your guests, we can accommodate that as well. Since your requirements may differ based on the number of guests, we are happy to discuss your specific needs and provide a customised quote.
How are all the drinks kept cool throughout the event?
We have Fridges and Eskys inside our Caravan Bar to keep the drinks cool! However, this only fits a small portion of the drink on hand. We continually replenish them throughout the event. We recommend that you hire a Cool Room from the day prior to your event to chill the drinks and keep them cool while not in our caravan.
We will be happy to recommend a vendor for cool rooms for hire! Let us know when we discuss your event.
Does George require access to power?
Yes, George, our Caravan Bar does need electricity to keep the fridges running and the lights on. We recommend that if your event venue does not have access to power, that you hire a generator.
Please note: If you book barista coffee for your event we will require an isolated power point to run our commercial coffee machine.
Does Yard Bar Perth provide the alcohol, or do I need to source this myself?
We operate a BYO service and do not sell or provide alcohol. What we can do is put you in touch with some of Perth’s specialty suppliers who offer great pricing for your event needs. We can also help with estimating quantities based on the hours of service and number of guests.
Need help arranging alcohol or just need advice? We partner with specialty bottle shops to help you source alcohol for your event. Please feel free to reach out to one of our affiliated partners through the links below.

How many different alcoholic beverages should we include on our drinks menu?
We recommend offering variety to your guest by selecting:
- 1 or 2 Reds: often a Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are a good choice
- 1 or 2 Whites: Chardonnay and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc are often popular
- 1 Sparkling Wine or Champagne: everyone loves a bubbly to celebrate!
- 1 Rose or Sweet Wine: This is good to round our selection!
- 3 Beers: We recommend two full strength options pale ale & a larger and one mid-strength option or a ginger beer always goes down well!
You can also consider more out of the box options, like ciders!
The best thing to do is consider what type of drinkers your guest are! Keep that in the forefront of your mind as you are selecting your drinks. For instance, if you know your friends don’t drink a lot of white wine, but love a good red wine, maybe select 2 different reds and 1 white.

How much alcohol should we provide for our event?
There are a lot of different things you could consider when making this decision. The first things to know is what kind of drinkers your guests are. Do they like to party hard and drink lots of booze, or are casual drinkers, maybe sipping 2 or 3 glasses at an event?
We generally recommend considering the ratio between male and female guests too. While this is a big generalisation, men often drink more beer, and women more wine. So, it’s important to look at this with your guests in mind and base it around what they like to drink.

Do we need to hire beer kegs separately, or do you provide us with kegs to have filled prior to our event?
We do not hire or fill kegs, however you can speak with your local micro brewer about purchasing a Keg of Beer! Or alternatively see links to our supply partners below.
Please note kegs will need to be held/stored cold before we can connect them in our bar this will prevent foaming. Let us know if you have any questions we will be happy to clarify.

Check out your local Breweries too, often they can supply their beer in kegs, ready to go!
Our event is longer than 5 hours, what is the hourly rate for additional hours of service?
We understand, sometimes you just want to keep the partay going! We are more than happy to have bookings longer than 5 hours, however the pricing is based on the number of staff needed and the number of additional hours required.
Want a handy math formula to help give you a guide?
‘# of Staff’ x (65 x ‘# of Hours’) = Additional Cost to you!
For example, you are booking our Full Measure Package with no additional wait-staff and you need us for an additional 2 hours:
3 x (65×2) = $390.00 inc GST
Are there additional fees for weekends?
We are still waiting on some of our RSVPs, when will you need to know exact guest numbers?
We are a little way out of Perth, does your Mobile Caravan Bar travel outside of the Perth Metro area?
We are totally excited to say yes! We are more than happy to travel to you! Recently we have even driven as far as Geraldton to do an event, so hit us up! We do have additional fees to help cover the cost of travel and accommodation.
Anything within 40km radius of Perth City is free of charge, however additional distance will be priced at $1.50 + GST/km.
Do I need to hire glassware separately?
All your glassware needs are incorporated into your package of choice for service from the bar only.
I am selecting 2 Cocktails as an Add-on for my event! How does this work?
