Wight Pop-Up Bars, together with The Chequers Inn proudly hosted a major international dinner last night for 490 MNE 2025 conference delegates. Guests enjoyed an evening that celebrated the very best of Island produce, complemented by outstanding entertainment that showcased the creativity and spirit of the Isle of Wight.
The night concluded with a ferry journey back to Southampton, leaving delegates with lasting memories of the Island’s warm hospitality and unique character. Events like this not only highlight what our venues can achieve, but also shine a spotlight on the Isle of Wight as a destination for both leisure and business gatherings.
We provided our converted horsebox trailer running it as just a beer and cider bar, a separate mermaid gin & spirits bar and a separate wine bar plus a Prosecco table at the entrance to the marquee. We decorated the marquee in a rustic farm theme. We provided 6 different food stations (hog roast, beef brisket, fish & chips, pizzas, sausage & mash and bbq with beef burgers & hotdogs). Dessert was cheese and biscuits, cake & Isle of Wight ice creams. It was a great night which kept up to 20 staff very busy. Thank you to SDC Marquees for the amazing set up of the huge marquee.
