Bar staff hire
Sometimes you have the bar, the drink and the space, and what you need is people. You can book crew on their own — by role, for the hours you need — with the same briefing and coordination as a full service booking.
If you already have a caterer, venue team or event producer, we fit into their schedule rather than running a parallel one. We ask for their timings up front and align the bar run-sheet to it, so service, speeches and food don't collide.
| Guests | Bartenders | Support | Typical service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 30 | 1 | — | Batched cocktails, beer and wine, 4 hours |
| 30–60 | 2 | — | Two cocktails on rotation plus wine service |
| 60–100 | 2 | 1 barback | Cocktails, wine, tray-served arrival drinks |
| 100–150 | 3 | 1 barback + bar manager | Two service points, tray service at peak |
| 150–250 | 4–5 | 2 barbacks + bar manager | Two bars, split menus, staged arrivals |
Questions we get asked
Yes. Staff-only bookings are common where the venue already has a bar or the client has bought their own drink.
We do — venue cover and overflow staffing is handled through our venue partnership team, on ongoing terms rather than event by event.
Final numbers seven days before the event let us lock the crew. Small changes after that are usually possible; large swings may affect availability.
Tell us the date, the address and roughly how many people. You'll get an itemised plan back within one business day.
