Frequently Asked Question
For most private parties, we need as little as 2m x 2m of clear space to operate comfortably.
If you’re hiring a full mobile bar, we usually recommend 3–4 metres wide depending on the bar style and guest numbers.
We regularly work in homes, gardens, marquees, offices and venues, and we’ll always advise the best setup based on your space during the booking process.
👉 This makes our Hire A Private Bartender service ideal for both small house parties and larger events.
Yes — we can provide everything needed for a professional bar service, including:
Cocktail & highball glassware
Shakers, bar tools & speed rails
Ice, coolers & garnishes
Napkins, straws & bar accessories
If you already have glassware or prefer to supply certain items, we’re happy to tailor the package and reduce costs. This flexibility is one of the reasons clients choose us for private bartender hire in the UK.
A simple guideline we use:
Up to 40 guests: 1 professional bartender
40–80 guests: 2 bartenders
80–120 guests: 3 bartenders
120+ guests: We’ll design a multi-station bar setup
This ensures fast service, no queues, and happy guests — especially important for cocktail parties, weddings, and corporate events. We always factor in drink style, service time, and event flow, not just headcount.
