A cocktail campervan is coming to Leeds this summer, because what else would you expect in Leeds
What could be better?
Summer means a few things: sunshine, festivals and good times, but nothing shouts all that more than cocktails served out of a travelling campervan.
Timmy Wright, 28, and Chris Newman, 43, have managed to convert a 1973 van into a funky bus to serve drinks at weddings and events. The creation of the Liquor Lab was a family dream as the renovations of ‘Mabel’ the camper were supported and financially aided by Chris’ father, Trevor.
Despite financial, mechanical, and personal setbacks Chris and Timmy have now fully completed works on the camper.
He continued: “Despite the constant setbacks, we were not going to quit. Chris’s father believed we could do it and gave us his last penny to pursue our dream. Between us we managed to bump and scrape whatever we could. All our savings were spent, but we were getting somewhere.”
Mabel, now painted lilac, is kitted out with bar fittings and launched as Liquor Lab Events. She made her debut at Timmy’s own wedding, and is now available for hire.
