How they work

Salt & Bubbles is a fully licensed and insured caterer and provides the liquor license. Staff are experienced hospitality professionals. Early on, the team talks you through how they run service and where their products come from, then builds a drinks list to suit your crowd. Service is set up as a hosted bar, not a cash bar. They can also handle drinks for rehearsal dinners, and cheese and charcuterie boards are available from the market.
