SKATING ON ICE
We'll be looking after the “log cabin” style Moose Bar for 3 months, in Canada Square as part of Skatco’s unique Ice Skating rink in the heart of the city of London until February. As well as the ever-popular rink, the bar traditionally proves a draw for chilly East Londoners looking for a winter warmer and we’re planning tipples such as Moose Milk, whipped up using Amarula Cream.

Food offerings include sausages and mash, meat and vegetable skewers, and Moose Droppings, a dessert featuring chocolate-covered blueberries on an ice cream bed.
This unique environment in Canary Wharf opens November 22nd. http://www.canarywharficerink.com

BESTIVALHappy 5th Birthday Bestival! Sold out once again in record time - attracting some 35,000 revellers. The event comprised 15 bars, including the Bollywood Bar & Black Dahlia cocktail bars, Brother's Cider Bar, the Bestivale Pub, the Havana Club Brand Experience, the cockney Knees Up, Come Dancing, two mass-serve serve bars (using 44,000 pint tankers) as well as further themed bars and fast can stations.

Franc and Olivia brought us in to run the bars this year which included a fun Cabaret Bar, a Cuervo Bar and a mass-service bar throughout the weekend. http://bloomfestival.com
NOTTINGHILL CARNIVAL
Red Bull approached us to showcase their Red Bull Cola drink at London's Notting Hill Carnival on the August Bank Holiday weekend. The event was a huge success - "Just want to say what a great job Steve and the team did. It was a pleasure to work with such a professional and hard working team. The overall event was a great success for Red Bull and created excellent awareness of Red Bull Cola throughout the carnival. Having fun loving bar staff, serving premium drinks helped make this happen. I look forward to working with you all in the near future." (Ben Kendall - Red Bull Marketing) http://www.nottinghillcarnival.org.uk
MAGIC LOUNGEABOUT
"A new and more refined way of experiencing live music" The inaugural year for Magic Loungeabout - a 24 hour party based in North Yorkshire at an amazing site for a new "grown-up" festival experience. We ran a number of bars for Simon and the Magic Loungeabout team, including a cocktail bar - whilst everyone enjoyed a bit of Gary Numan or classic house DJ John Kelly. One to watch.
