Orange Beach Bars
10th April 2021Award winning pub owners Sarah and Jamie Davies from The Cleveland Arms in Brighton have launched a new mobile and festival bar business.
We are a husband-and-wife team who are in love with the hospitality industry. Together we have over 30 years’ experience.
Having taken over The Cleveland Arms back in 2017, Sarah and I had clear goals on where we wanted to take the pub. In 2019 we won the Knorr ‘Best UK Meat Roast’ award for our Sunday Roasts and in the same year Sarah won the ‘Start Up Business of the Year’ award at the Sussex Businesswomen Excellence Awards.
Prior to the first lock down Sarah and I decided to buy a horse box to convert in to a mobile bar. This was completed and launched in 2020 called ‘The Dog & Duck’. With the concentration being on outdoor events Sarah and I expanded the bar offering and introduced two further bars, ‘The Dog & Partridge’ and ‘The Dog & Swan’. Both of these bars are static bars and ideal for garden events, marque bars or weddings.
In 2021 Orange Beach Bars partnered with the multi award winning Sussex brewery ‘Harvey’s of Lewes’. Having had a very strong relationship with Harvey’s through The Cleveland Arms Harvey’s were very confident in Orange Beach Bars managing their mobile and event bars.
The pub has enabled us to host many weddings, celebrations and events. Orange Beach Bars is an extension to this. For us, we are bringing our amazing team, service and exceptionally high standard of bars to you, whatever you are celebrating.
We are able to supply your wedding, festival, party or celebration with fully functional mobile bars. We have several different bar styles and options available. We can cater for any event size, ranging from an intimate garden party to a full music, food or drinks festival.
Our hospitality experience enables us to accommodate any size or style of event and it also means we can access our extensive network of suppliers, ale and craft brewers and acclaimed Sommeliers. Our wholesale contracts mean we can offer competitive prices and we can build a drinks package that is right for any budget.
And we know how to throw a good party!
Our Bars
The Dog and Duck Mobile Bar is a vintage working horse box which we have converted to a high standard mobile bar. The inside has been refurbished with antique wood and bronze tiles and is an attractive focus point for any event. We pull out a bar area at the rear of the horse box creating an open airy space for guests to mingle and enjoy their drinks. With intimate lighting it is a beautiful relaxing bar area which also gives us more serving space, after all nobody wants an empty glass.
The Dog and Partridge Mobile Bar is a handmade mobile bar carved from vintage wood, giving a gorgeous rustic look, perfect for any set up indoors or outside.
The Dog and Swan is a modern club style bar ideal for cocktails or for a themed event or wedding again ideal for indoor or outside events.
All our bars are fully equipped so if you want your guests to sip hot chocolate whilst watching fireworks, we can make it happen. The horsebox is kitted out with a smoothie maker and professional espresso machine, perfect for those espresso martinis. All our staff are trained mixologists and what is unique about us is that we can offer your guests draught beer and ale.
Having this versatility means we are suitable for any venue and if there is no power supply we can provide our services with the use of a generator.
Our pricing is simple, and every price includes travel, experienced staff, glassware, arrangement of alcohol licence, designing a bespoke drinks menu suited to the event theme.
We have various hire options. Drinks can be purchased from us and we offer a cash bar, pre-paid bar or a combination of both. The bar alone can be hired fully equipped and we can provide bar staff too.
