Serve your guests in style at your next party with Norman the Cocktail Caravan

From birthdays to weddings, a party should never be dull. Nevertheless, as the years pass by the thought of going to yet another wedding is no longer quite as appealing as it was once was. You’ve seen the dresses, if you’re stuck on the ‘single’s table’, things can get awkward, and, if you’re married, you’re only comparing it to your own wedding.

So when it comes to planning your next big shindig, why not think of something completely unique that will leave your guests happy they came and, perhaps, a little more happy upon their departure? Look no further folks, the Cocktail Caravan is here.

The quirky, red polka-dot caravan, quite blandly named Norman, is the brainchild of best friends Bee Watson and Justine Bock, who met while working at a vintage cocktail bar where they spent most nights learning to balance, stir and shake up flavourful drinks from a renowned mixologist.

Bee and Justine were doodling on a napkin when the idea of a cocktail caravan came to them (this is beginning to sound very J.K. Rowling-like). Thereafter, they spent the winter transforming Norman, who had previously spent his long life thinking he was only capable of driving
families around, into an eccentric cocktail bar full of alcohol as well as character.

The cocktail caravan provides everything from pre-dinnner welcome drinks, to an all out riotous affair, and a custom designed menu means Norman can cater to an event completely tailored to your requirements.

With a range of cocktails, mocktails, spirits and mixers on offer, the sky is the limit as far as old Norman is concerned. Also given is the option of hiring a bottle bar to provide a selection of beer, lager, wine, cider, champagne and soft drinks, providing a full bar service – in a caravan.

Adding even more charm and originality to their business acumen, Bee, Justine and Norman don’t exactly play by the rules when it comes to glassware. All of their drinks and are typically served in an array of mismatching vintage glassware. And jam jars. They also serve their liquid delights in teapots and punch bowls. However, if this sounds a little too ‘retro’ for you, more traditional glassware is also available.
