-
Send us a message with the essentials: the occasion, your date, expected number of guests and your venue or location. The more you tell us, the better — but a broad outline is enough to start.
-
We come back to you personally with a proposal covering service details, menu ideas and pricing. Nothing is generic — everything reflects what you've told us about your event.
-
Once you've confirmed your booking, we begin the menu design process. We propose, you respond, we refine. The final menu is one both of us are genuinely proud of.
-
Ingredient sourcing, garnish preparation, equipment organisation — all of this is ours to manage. You'll receive a pre-event message confirming our arrival time and any final logistics. Everything else is in our hands.
-
We arrive before your guests, set up the full bar, and begin service when you're ready. We run the bar for the agreed duration — attentive, professional and warm throughout — and break everything down and take it away once the evening ends. What remains is exactly what should: the memory of a very good night.

Your Cocktail Menu —
Built Around Your Occasion
Every private catering menu starts with a conversation. We discuss the season, the venue, the time of day, the nature of the celebration and the tastes of your guests. From there, we propose a menu and refine it together until it feels exactly right.
A summer garden party menu looks and tastes completely different from a winter birthday dinner. A bachelorette celebration calls for something different than an anniversary evening. A baby shower — where everyone may be drinking non-alcoholic alternatives — requires a menu where the mocktails are the main event, not the footnote.
We design menus that are seasonal, considered and genuinely interesting. We can work within colour themes, incorporate specific spirits that hold sentimental value, name cocktails after the person being celebrated, or build a menu around a place, a memory or a mood. Whatever gives this particular evening its own identity — we build that into the drinks.
There's something different about having a real bar at your own celebration. Not a table with wine bottles. Not someone passing around a tray. A properly staffed, properly equipped cocktail bar — in your home, your garden, your hired venue — serving beautifully crafted drinks to your guests throughout your event.
WESHAKE private catering makes that possible without the thing that usually makes it impossible: the venue. We come to wherever your celebration is happening and bring a complete bar with us. Everything is included. Everything is managed by us. Your job, from the moment we arrive, is to be a guest at your own party.
Every catering booking is built entirely around the specific occasion. The menu, the flavour profile, the presentation, the pace of service — all of it is shaped by who you are, who your guests are, and what this particular evening means. We ask the right questions. We listen carefully. And then we deliver something that feels exactly right.

-
For private events, we comfortably work with groups from 10 to 150+ guests. If your event is larger or smaller, get in touch — we'll discuss what's possible.
-
Yes — we expect nothing less. Every menu is built in direct conversation with you. Seasonal ingredients, specific spirits, colour themes, named cocktails, flavours tied to a shared memory — everything is open to discussion and everything is refine until it's exactly right.
-
Always — and genuinely so. Non-alcoholic cocktails are a real, considered part of every menu we design. Every cocktail has a mocktail equivalent crafted to the same standard. For baby showers or any event where non-alcoholic alternatives are the priority, we design the mocktail menu to be the main event.
-
Pricing depends on guest numbers, service duration, menu complexity and any specific requirements. We provide transparent, itemised quotes after our initial conversation. No hidden costs — ever.
-
We recommend 4–6 weeks for larger events such as weddings and significant birthday celebrations. For smaller, more intimate occasions, 3–4 weeks is usually sufficient. That said, we always try to accommodate shorter timelines — enquire and we'll let you know what's possible.
-
Guest counts shift, dates occasionally change, menus evolve — we understand entirely. We're flexible and communicate clearly. Any significant changes are discussed openly and documented so that both parties are completely clear on what's been agreed.
