Question 5

How does your pricing structure work for mobile bar services in the UK?

Accepted Answer

We use the same pricing grid for all our customers which will be sent to you via email ensuring transparency in our pricing. Our pricing is based on a minimum spend system using number of guests to work out the cost. All our packages include a full bar service but you can add on extras as you want.

Question 6

How much does mobile bar hire cost?

Pricing depends on your chosen package and guest count. Cash bar service starts from £250 (includes bartender, equipment, and setup). Unlimited bar packages range from £35-60 per guest depending on duration and drink selection. Tab bar and dry hire options are also available. Contact us for a personalised quote based on your specific requirements.

Question 7

Are there any hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

No hidden costs! We provide transparent, detailed quotes covering all aspects of service. The only potential additional charges would be for optional extras you choose (extra bartenders, extended hours, premium spirit upgrades). Everything is discussed and agreed in advance, so no surprises.

Question 8

Question 9

What's the difference between cash bar and unlimited bar?

Accepted Answer

Cash Bar: Guests pay for their own drinks at the bar. You pay for our service, equipment, and bartenders (from £250).

Cash bar offers budget control; unlimited bar provides generous hospitality and eliminates payment processing.

Final guest count should be confirmed 30 days before the event, with payment based on confirmed numbers.
