Mobile bar hire

Mobile bar hire in London

A mobile bar is only useful if someone builds it, stocks it, works it and takes it away again. We deliver the bar and everything that has to happen around it — crew, glassware, ice, garnish and a run-sheet for the night — anywhere in Greater London.

2m and 4m units, plus a compact home-bar setup

The bar formats we bring

  • Compact home bar — roughly 1.4m wide, fits a kitchen island or garden terrace, one bartender.
  • 2m front bar with back bar — the standard for 40–100 guests, two working positions.
  • 4m front bar with full back bar — two service points, styled for launches and larger receptions.
  • Second satellite station — added when arrivals are staged or the room is split across floors.

What we need from the space

This is the part most hosts get caught out by, so we confirm it in writing before the day.

  • Footprint: allow the bar width plus one metre of working space behind it.
  • Power: one standard 13A socket runs lighting and a blender. Ice machines are not brought to residential events; we deliver ice instead.
  • Water: not required — we bring our own supply and take waste away with us.
  • Access: we work from wheeled cases, so we need a route in. Steps, lift dimensions and loading windows go on the run-sheet.
  • Flooring: bars are fitted with protective feet for wood and stone floors.

What's included as standard

  • Bar unit delivered, built and removed
  • Bartenders in uniform, briefed on your run-sheet
  • Glassware, ice wells, speed rails and full bar kit
  • Clear cubed ice delivered on the day
  • Fresh garnish prep and mixers
  • Set-up before guests arrive and a clean hand-back

Questions we get asked

Before you enquire

Do you supply the alcohol as well as the bar?

Yes. We can supply the full stock on a sale-or-return basis, so you only pay for what is opened, or work with drink you have already bought. Both routes are itemised separately on the quote.

How much space does a mobile bar need?

Allow the width of the bar plus about a metre of working space behind it. A 2m bar comfortably fits in a 3m x 2m area; the compact home bar fits along a kitchen wall.

Do you need power and water?

One standard 13A socket is helpful for lighting and blended serves, but the bar can run without it. Water is never needed — we bring our own and take waste away.

How far ahead should I book?

Four to six weeks is comfortable for most dates. December and summer weekends go early, so those are worth locking in months ahead.

Do you cover all of London?

Yes, travel within Greater London is included. We quote travel separately for events beyond the M25.
