How did you get into your business, and what inspired you?

Bennett’s Bars was created in 2018 by Lauren and Kim who have been best friends for over 20 years! We met working in a pub and have followed each other in jobs ever since! We have been working so long for other people we decided that we could do this for ourselves. And what better way than to meet new people every day and be a part of such special weddings and events.

What do you like about working at Great Betley Farmhouse?

Great Betley Farmhouse is not only set in beautiful surroundings, it allows couples to style their day their way. From marquees to tipis, street food to sit down meals you really can do it all! We absolutely love working at Great Betley Farmhouse, Kim is so welcoming and accommodating and nothing is a problem for her and her staff.

At Great Betley Farmhouse we encourage sustainability and being environmentally friendly, how does your business support that ethos?

Bennett’s Bars is very passionate about recycling and being environmentally friendly. All our drinks are served in either recycled plastics which we then recycle aferwards or biodegradable plastics. Or you can upgrade to glassware for an additional cost. We make sure that all our waste is recycled in the correct categories and we also don’t serve any drinks from plastic bottles.

What advice would you give to couples to help them plan and enjoy their celebration?

Our top tip for couples is that Cocktail Hour after the speeches is always a fun way to get your party started! You can choose from our menu which ones you would like served, and you can even change the names of them to make them personal to you both!

It’s always a pleasure to have suppliers here who “get it”, and Lauren, Kim and their staff are always so helpful. It makes our lives so much easier to know that we can rely on them. It will undoubtedly make your lives easier too!
