British Polo Gin to run Tack Room Bar at Portobello Farm 2020

At British Polo Gin we love working with and promoting the best of British brands. From our establishment in 2016 we have found our involvement at leading polo clubs, tradeshows and sporting events has given us the perfect platform to both identify and showcase leading companies from our bars across the country. Provenance, quality and integrity are always key tenets when choosing which producers we would like to partner with.

As we now approach our fourth year of events operations we are thrilled to be working with a wide range of producers, including Two Farmers Crips – pioneers of the first biodegradable crisp packet –, Wood Brothers Distillery – distillers of fantastic single estate English vodka – and Wheat Straws – producers of 100% biodegradable strays made from wheat –, to name but a few.

Similarly, we love working with leading British events. In 2019 we were thrilled to run bars at fantastically British events including, The Cotswold International Polo Day, Osberton International Horse Trials, The Rundle Cup and in The Walled Garden at Burghley Boutique for the Land Rover Burghley Horse TrialsBurghley Horse Trials Therefore when Laura Audley, founder of the epic Burghley Boutique and Portobello Tents, gave us the opportunity to run the bar at Portobello Farm, pop luxury camping for Glastonbury Festival, we were of course delighted.

British Polo Gin will be based in the onsite Tack Room from which we will run our fully stocked farmyard local. Our friendly bar tenders will be offering bespoke cocktails, craft beers, fizz, epic wines, our 100% organic gin and some delicious bar snacks for you to enjoy. There will also be a takeaway service so that you can enjoy your drinks en route to the festival itself. Our favourite takeaway offerings for this year include a crisp can of premium wine from Nice Drinks or a can of tasty organic lager from our mates at Stroud Brewery.

The Tack Room will also double up as on-site restaurant where delicious locally sourced food will be available all day to keep guests well fuelled to dance the night away with Paul and Taylor down on the festival site itself.

Accommodation will be arranged in The Paddock and is provided in Bronze, Silver and Gold packages in Laura’s signature Bell Tents whilst a VIP option is additionally available in the super swanky Lotus Belle Tents. It’s a short complimentary shuttle to and from the festival to save those disco legs!

Having danced the night away, Bloody Drinks bloody mary in hand, you will be able to saunter over to The Barns where you can have a hot shower, blow dry, deep tissue massage and well and truly press the human reset button. Having relaxed, refreshed and recharged we recommend you then head over to The Field where you will be able to take in the festival vista safe from a steaming hot tub before tackling the festival crowds once more.

Have we whet your appetites? We thought so!
