Having covered so many countries already I’m really excited to see where we’ll have been after 80 drinks! To then film a chat between us and spread the fun and positivity across the world is even better. It’s reassuring to hear we’re all in the same boat, and it’s nice to know I’ve brightened up someone’s day by reaching out to them and chatted to them about a passion we both share in drinks and bartending. Once I’d worked out our plan to survive and the finances were no longer a worry, spreading positivity to the world through ‘Around the World in 80 Drinks’ was my passion. What was the best thing to come out of the Covid restrictions for your business? Well, being an outdoorsy business – the views! Yorkshire people are the best too.

We have moved our bar services online offering virtual masterclasses and this is where “Around the World in 80 Drinks” was formed! Every week I go live on YouTube to firstly show our viewers how to make a cocktail, then I speak to a drinks professional somewhere on the planet. In March we were forced to close like the rest of the UK due to Covid, unfortunately unlike all other sectors in the UK, we haven’t been able to reopen. How has Covid affected your business and how did you cope?
We’re one of the few to have all these services under one roof so when you book us for teepees and bars we’re there on the day to help your event run smoothly from start to finish. Why do you stand out from your competition?
From the humble beginnings of supplying ‘Bar And Restaurant Staff’ to private parties and events across the UK, we steadily grew into supplying mobile bars for all kinds of events and small festivals to then investing in teepees, furniture, and other event equipment. It all started out as BAR Staff UK in 2005 and grew into a full-fledged events company. When was the company founded and how has it grown?īAR Events UK, as the company it is today, was founded in 2015. We caught up with him for this week’s Business Focus to find out why… When the hospitality sector closed down in March this year, Dan Lakin’s teepee company stopped all their events, so he decided to ‘Travel around the World in 80 drinks’.
