Service · Liverpool · Manchester · North West
Fully-fitted mobile bars with lighting, glassware, ice and a full back-bar, delivered, built, run by our team and removed the same night. Pick your serve list, pick your guest count, leave the rest.
The service, in plain English
What it is
A complete bar setup brought to your venue: structure, branding, lighting, fridges, ice wells, glassware, garnish station, stock, and the team to run it from welcome drink to last orders.
Who it's for
Dry-hire wedding venues, marquees, gardens, country estates, warehouses, brand activation spaces, festival sites and corporate offices without a built-in bar.
When you need it
Any time your venue can't or won't run a bar themselves, weddings at converted barns, milestone birthdays at home, brand launches in raw space, summer parties in marquees, conferences in atrium spaces.
Why it matters
A purpose-built mobile bar isn't a trestle table with bottles on it. It's a focal point. Lighting, finish and serve quality directly drive how long guests stay, how much they drink and how memorable the night feels.
The cost of getting this wrong
We get rescue calls every summer from couples and event planners whose 'cheaper' bar option arrived late, missed half the kit, or fell apart at 9pm. Mobile bar hire is one of the few decisions where saving £400 can cost you the entire night.
Our process
We confirm access, power, water, footprint and licensing constraints, in person or by video call.
Choose your bar style (rustic, mirrored, illuminated, branded) and lock the serve list with our head mixologist.
Delivery slot booked, stock ordered, licences filed (if needed), glassware counted, ice scheduled.
Crew arrives 2–3 hours early. Bar built, lit, stocked and pressure-tested before your first guest arrives.
Pack-down to venue standard, waste removed, glassware returned. Your venue's deposit stays in your pocket.
What you actually get
Bar, stock, staff, glassware, ice, lighting, licensing, one supplier, one quote, one point of contact.
Every bar in our fleet is built for camera. Backlit shelving, mirrored finishes and clean lines that anchor your venue shots.
Configurations from 1m service points to 12m island bars. Scale up for hen-night density, scale down for intimate dinners.
Powered fridges and ice wells, beer at 4°C, wine at the right temperature, champagne kept cold from 6pm to midnight.
Where a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) is needed we file it for you. Personal Licence holders run every shift.
From house spirits to allocated single malts and grower champagne. We source what your guests will actually love.
The detail
Mobile bars are an engineering job as much as a hospitality one, power, footprint, drainage, refrigeration and weather all matter. Here is the detail underneath the photo.
We maintain twelve mobile bar units, each suited to a different venue mood and guest count.
Most mobile bars need a single 13A socket within 10m for fridges and lighting. Larger setups draw 2–3 sockets. Where venues have no power we run silent generators. Waste water is captured on-site and removed.
Smallest bar, 1.2m × 0.6m. Largest island, 4m × 4m. We need 80cm clear access for delivery; bigger units come in modules. We always do a site check before quoting on venues we haven't worked before.
Three standard stock tiers (House, Premium, Signature) plus a fully bespoke option for branded launches. All packages include glassware, garnish, ice, soft drinks, still and sparkling water. Unopened stock is bought back at cost, you don't pay for what your guests don't drink.
Residential mobile bars (gardens, marquees, home parties) emphasise quiet refrigeration, neat cabling and discreet finish. Commercial mobile bars (brand events, corporate functions, launches) prioritise branding, throughput, audit-grade stock control and KPI reporting.
We deliver mobile bars across Liverpool, Manchester, Cheshire, the Wirral, Chester, Preston, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Altrincham and the wider North West with no travel surcharge inside 40 miles. We regularly cover North Wales, the Lake District and Yorkshire for destination weddings and brand tours.
