Yes, provided the marquee has a suitable level working area, practical access and the protection and utilities required by the agreed setup. Plan the bar with the marquee layout, not as an item to squeeze in after the tables are placed.

Confirm the surface, covered working area and route from the unloading point. Include the space behind the counter, stock storage and guest approach. Ask about the actual equipment's power needs and agree cleaning, water and waste arrangements.
Keep the ordering area clear of entrances, catering routes and the main path to the toilets. Consider where guests will gather if rain draws everyone under cover. The staffing and supplies must still match the real guest count; being outdoors does not reduce the demand when everyone arrives together.
- Include the bar and its working space in the marquee plan.
- Confirm the wet-weather arrangement before the event.
