Frequently Asked Questions
and answers.....
What do you offer?
We have a lovingly restored vintage caravan bar available for hire. The van can work as a fully equipped bar complete with bartenders, or a tea and coffee cart complete with baristas at your event. We have a large range of vintage and eclectic items available for hire and offer an event styling /planning service to ensure your event runs smoothly.
Do you travel with the caravan bar?
We love to travel at August&Lucy. We are based in Port Macquaire on the Mid North Coast so Newcastle , Hunter valley up to Coffs Harbour are easily accessible for us. We also love venturing into the beautiful Highlands of Mid NSW, heading as far as Tamworth. Our van requires approximately 3 x 5m and is best set up on a reasonably flat area.
Does the caravan bar need power?
The van can be self sufficient in regards to power by running a battery for lights or a generator for the coffee machine. However, if there is power available we will gladly use it as sometimes a generator can spoil the ambience!
Does the caravan bar come with alcohol?
The van does not come with alcohol. As we are a mobile pop-up bar we do not have a liquor licence but all bar staff are fully certified with RSA certificates. For private events the alcohol is provided by you and for events at wedding locations, we use the alcohol package provided by the venue.
Where are August & Lucy based?
We are based in Port Macquarie (2444).
We love to travel between the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Coffs Harbour and even out west to Tamworth, so let us know where your event is and we will do our very best to be there for you. Discovering beautiful locations is one of our favourite things!

Does August & Lucy deliver hire items?
We sure do. Every customer is different and it depends on what items you hire. Delivery within Port Macquaire area and surrounds is free when you spend over $200 on hire items. The delivery cost will be included on your quote. There are a few variables which we can discuss with you such as location, the truck size (if we need to hire one) and the number of people required to load and unload your hire items. The charge of the truck is calculated at cost price (we do not make any money on your delivery).
Do we have public liability insurance?
Yes.
