At Cocktail Queen it is our first and foremost priority to ensure the safety of our staff.  Whilst our staff are hired by you to provide a specialist service, it doesn't give any client the right to micro-manage, demean or verbally abuse our staff.  We only encourage smiles, laughing, good manners and politeness at all times. Should our staff be subject to any of the above including being exposed to drug use on premises they will be at liberty to cease service and exit the premises at any time during the event, even suspected drug use.  Should this occur we are not responsible for You or Your guests who are doing the right thing for not getting the full service provided.  No refunds will be permitted at all should this occur. The Cocktail Queen staff enforces RSA at all times and reserve the right to refuse to serve any person who is drinking to fast, drunk, disorderly, on drugs or objectionable or unreasonable.  It is the utmost responsibility of the client to ensure that their guests conduct themselves in an orderly manner at all times.
