Three ways to book your event bar
Use your own counter and buy the drinks: book staff from £270 for three hours. Need a physical bar? Add a 1.5m unit to one bartender from £595. Want the bar, staff and agreed drinks supplies together? Packages start at £29 per guest for four hours, with a 50-guest minimum. Postcode travel is quoted separately.
What happens at your event
Our bartender prepares the working area, organises the selected ingredients and makes drinks for your guests during the booked service. With mobile bar hire, our team also brings, assembles and removes the bar. Choose up to five drinks from the existing menu; staff-only bookings receive a shopping list for the supplies you provide.
A kitchen island, a wedding marquee or an office reception
The room determines the setup. A useful counter can be enough for a small party. A staffed mobile bar creates a separate service point in a marquee, shop or office. Bigger events need a plan for staff, bar positions, stock and guest arrivals together. You can compare the options before selecting the service.

Start with the date, full event postcode, guest count and service hours. State whether you need staff at an existing counter, a staffed mobile bar or a stocked package. You can choose cocktails after establishing the service.
Can I choose the cocktails?
Choose up to five drinks from the existing Cocktailhire menu. The event menu uses your selected drinks. Stocked-package tiers have different eligible menu choices, shown in the booking system.
Who supplies drinks, ice and glasses?
For staff-only hire, you provide ingredients, ice and glasses using the shopping list. Add glassware with a staffed mobile bar, or choose a stocked package with the agreed cocktail ingredients, ice and glasses included.
