How do I book a mobile cocktail bar?

Simply fill out our contact form with your event details.
We’ll send a tailored quote, and bookings are secured with a £50 deposit.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance.

Peak dates, especially summer weekends and December events can book out months ahead.
For larger setups such as full circular bars, earlier booking is strongly advised.

The remaining balance is typically due 3–5 working days before the event.

Packages & Drink Options

What is included in your mobile cocktail bar hire packages?

Most packages include a professional cocktail bartender team, a choice of mobile bar, premium glassware and the tools required to deliver your chosen drinks menu.

Optional extras include themed bars, flair bartenders, premium cocktail upgrades and ice sculpture add-ons.

Do you provide alcohol or can we supply our own?

Flirtina Events offer both dry hire & wet hire options. You can supply your own drinks with our dry hire service, or choose a fully managed package where we provide all alcohol, mixers and ingredients.

Can I customise the cocktails and bar style?

Yes. You can choose your cocktails, request bespoke drinks and select from a range of bar styles including LED, rustic, mirror, tiki and themed setups.

Do you offer draught beer for events?

Yes, we can provide draught beer setups for larger events.

However, draught systems take up more space, slow down service during busy periods and can lead to product waste if volumes are not met. For most events, bottled or canned options are faster, more efficient and better suited to high-volume service.
Draught setups are available on request and may involve an additional hire cost.

Do you offer non-alcoholic or mocktail options?

Yes, we offer a full range of mocktails and non-alcoholic options, which can be included alongside or instead of alcoholic drinks.

Venue, Setup & Logistics

How much space and power do you need?

We typically require a flat space of 2–6 metres depending on the bar size.

Most setups run from a standard UK plug socket, although we can also operate without power if needed.

How long does setup and pack down take?

Setup typically takes 60–90 minutes depending on the bar size and access. Pack down usually takes around 45–60 minutes.

Clear access to the setup area is required to ensure everything runs on time.

Do you provide a licence for alcohol service?

For cash bar events, we arrange the appropriate licensing where required, but we often recommend the venue or host manages this for simplicity. For private events where alcohol is supplied or included, a licence is usually not needed.

Are there any additional travel or location costs?

Travel is included in most quotations, however certain costs such as parking, congestion charges or venue-specific access fees may apply where relevant.
These are kept to a minimum and clearly outlined in your quotation where possible.

In rare cases, significant increases in fuels may be reflected, although once bookings are confirmed, pricing is typically fixed.
