Each package is customisable to suit your event’s size, style, and budget.
What’s included in your Unlimited Bar Packages?
Our Unlimited Bar Packages typically include:
– Free-flowing drinks for a set number of hours
– Bespoke cocktail menu (mocktails available too)
– Spirits, wines, beers, soft drinks
– Stylish mobile bar, glassware, ice, and all ingredients
– Uniformed mixologists, bar support staff, and setup/cleanup
You can also add flair bartenders, champagne towers, or custom bar branding.
Can I customise the drinks menu?
Absolutely. You can choose your favourite cocktails, rename them, or let us design something bespoke based on your taste and theme. We also offer mocktail versions and themed garnishes, such as branded edible cocktail toppers.
What’s the difference between Unlimited and Limited Packages?
– Unlimited Packages: Guests enjoy free-flowing drinks for a set time (e.g. 6 hours), priced per head.
– Limited Packages: A fixed number of drinks (e.g. 200 cocktails) are served during a set service window.
Can I mix and match drinks in my package?
Yes! You can combine cocktails, mocktails, spirits, wines, beers, and soft drinks in any way that suits your event. We’ll help you build a balanced and exciting menu based on your preferences and guest profile.
Can I add Champagne or Prosecco to my package?
Definitely. We offer Champagne, Prosecco or English sparkling wine by the glass or bottle, and can include welcome drinks stations or toasts as part of your package.
Can I extend the bar service on the day?
Yes, subject to staff availability and venue restrictions. Additional hours are charged at a pre-agreed hourly rate, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute extensions.
Booking & Payments
How do I confirm a booking?
To secure your date, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is due not later than 7 days before the event. We accept bank transfers, card payments, and cash (with discounts available for cash payment on the day).
Can I adjust my package after booking?
Yes! We’re flexible. You can increase drink quantities, change timings or extend service time, or even add extras. Just let us know in advance (usually up to 7 days prior to the event) so we can accommodate your changes
What’s your cancellation policy?
Cancellations must be made in writing at least 30 days before the event. Deposits are non-refundable in most cases, but we offer credit or rescheduling options depending on the circumstances.
Do you offer discounts for cash payments?
Yes. For some packages, we offer a discount if the final balance is paid in cash on the day. A small deposit is still required to secure the booking.
Are your prices inclusive of VAT?
All prices are quoted excluding VAT unless otherwise stated. VAT is added at the standard rate on your invoice.
Staff Hire & Dry Hire
What’s included in Staff-Only Hire?
You provide the drinks, glassware, and setup—we provide:
– Professional mixologists or waiters, uniformed according to the event’s requirements
– All bar tools and accessories
– Shopping list and guidance on quantities
This is our most budget-friendly option, ideal for DIY-style events.
Do your staff bring their own tools?
Yes, all our mixologists arrive with a full set of professional bar tools. You just need to provide the working area, stock, ice, and glassware (unless otherwise agreed).
Cocktail Masterclasses
What’s included in a Cocktail Masterclass?
Our masterclasses are fun, interactive, and perfect for private parties or hen dos. They include:
– 1–2 mixologists (depending on group size)
– Working station (if required)
– Sets of bar tools for each participant
– All ingredients, glassware and ice
– 3 cocktails per guest (mocktails available)
– Games, challenges, and a prize for the best cocktail
– Setup, service, and cleanup
Logistics & Setup
How long do you need for setup and breakdown?
We typically require 1–3 hours for setup depending on the package and venue access. With very large events even slightly longer. Breakdown and cleanup are included in all bar service packages.
Do you need access to power or water?
For most packages, we don’t require running water, nor power access. Access to tap water is helpful for rinsing tools after the event but not always essential for the bar service. We’ll confirm all logistics with you in advance.
Can you work in outdoor or marquee settings?
Yes! We’re fully equipped for outdoor events. Just let us know the setup conditions (e.g. grass, gravel, marquee flooring) so we can prepare accordingly.
What if you need to drop off equipment earlier or collect it the next day?
Depending on how busy we are on the event date, we may need to drop off equipment and stock earlier in the day or the day before and collect it the next day. The mixologists will typically arrive 1–2 hours before the service anyways.
Guest Experience
How many mixologists/bartenders do I need for my event?
We recommend:
– 1 mixologist per 40–50 guests for cocktail service
– Additional bar support for larger events or full bar service
We’ll advise you based on your guest count and drink selection.
Can you cater to guests with dietary restrictions?
Yes. We can create alcohol-free, vegan, gluten-free, and low-sugar options. Just let us know your guests’ needs in advance.
Do you offer tastings before the event?
Yes! We offer complimentary tastings for larger bookings (e.g. large-scale weddings or corporate events). It’s a great way to finalise your cocktail menu and meet our team.
Corporate & Venue Services
Do you offer services for corporate events?
Absolutely. We provide tailored bar services for product launches, office parties, client entertainment, and more. We also offer branded menus, custom cocktails, and professional staffing.
Can you collaborate with venues or caterers?
Yes. We regularly work with venues, planners, and caterers to ensure seamless service. If you’re a venue manager, we’d love to connect and explore collaboration opportunities.
