About Us

Midsummer Nightcap is an independent events company with a passion for creating unique and special experiences.
 
Having started in 2016 with our flagship converted 1950’s vintage Caravan bar, we have grown to have several offerings. From our iconic telephone box serving everything from Pimm’s to Espresso martinis on tap, or some Champagne out of the boot of our beautifully converted 1960’s Morris Minor.
 
We have produced numerous events and festivals, dressed some amazing spaces, and have served many fantastic customers!
 
We love to create bespoke food and drink offerings themed with stylish dressing that creates a memorable experience, giving attention to the all important detail.
 
Midsummer Nightcap is here to offer a unique approach for every occasion.

Classic Cocktail Bar

Classic cocktail bar can be customised to each event. Serving drinks from Mojitos, Bellinis, Aperol Spritz to Moscow Mules. Whatever your favourite Cocktail is or let us make one up for you!

Frozen Cocktail Bar

Our Slushy machine has been adapted to compliment the look of our caravan and from this we can serve luxury frozen cocktails.

A popular recipe last year events was that of Frose-Rose, muddled strawberries and lemon juice. Additionally we feel Mescal Margaritas will be popular at this years events. We can also create Frozen Gin and tonic Lolly-pops for an additional twist.

Vintage Funfair Bar

Dependent on the theme of the event we can create more wacky drinks such as candy floss topped Prosseco and Gin and tonic flavoured popcorn.

This approach can be balanced with relevant themed cocktails and nibbles, and even giant Jenga or additional entertainment.

 

Pim's & Picnic Baskets

We can serve Pimm’s on draught. This can be complemented by Picnic hampers-to be adapted for each event and potentially with an emphasis on local produce.

Secret Bar

What about creating more of a space for your event, we have some tricks up our sleeves to help create a secret bar in any space. Climb through the magic wardrobe to find the caravan bar hidden away serving your favourite drinks.

Espresso Martini Bar

Coffee and tea served through out the day. Then come the evening Espresso Martini’s take over!

FAQ

Can we supply our own drinks?

Yes that’s fine, we also offer the bar as a dry hire for you to use to serve your own menus and drinks out off. 

Are your menus set?

No our food and drink menus are all adaptable and can be bespoke for your preference. Take a look at our menu page for some sample menus. 

Do you take cash or card?

Yes that’s no problem, however the card machines work on phone signal so if there isn’t any this may be an issue to think about. 

What else do we need to consider?

We like to offer as much as we can but some small elements not covered- we need an electricity supply for our lights, and card readers this can just be an extension to a three pin plug. We don’t include glass hire in the minimum spend as this is additional transport, cleaning and staffing. We can help with this, or recommend suppliers.

Do you offer branded bars?

Yes we have previously offered a number of branded bars. Please get in touch for more information on this. 

Do you charge for transport?

Depending on where the event is, we are local to Oxfordshire. The further we have to travel unfortunately we will have to offer a fee for the transport.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes we have 10 million public and employee liability insurance, as well as a level 2 food hygiene, 5 star scores on the doors and a number of personal licence holders.
