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.
Yes. A suitable kitchen counter can support staff-only service; marquees and offices can use a staffed mobile bar with the required working space.
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.
