We used mines for our wedding this year. We can not thank Gemma and the team enough for everything. They went above and beyond to make everything so perfect and fantastic. Nothing was to much. ❤️

Mines provide BBQ’s for the Castle Combe Colts tournament every year and the service they provide is exemplary. Communication around the ordering is great and drop off and pick up were perfect. The equipment is excellent - our burgers, bacon and sausage (and veggie burgers this year) always receive huge compliments. Thanks to all

We used Mines Leisure Hire to support a big party we were having in Marshfield Community Hall. We hired all the plates glasses and cutlery, serving dishes, and and carpet, we also hired uplighters which gave… the hall a great look. Gemma was very helpful and gave great advice. The guys delivered and took away all the dirty crockery and cutlery. They were on time, fast, professional and efficient. They were extremely helpful and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend them. I thought the cost was reasonable and it made it possible for us to self cater the food, which saved us a lot of
