How does booking through to the first drink work?

Choose the service and drinks, receive the paperwork after payment, and have the team prepare before service starts.

Step 01
Pick Your Service Format
Choose the support your event needs: a cocktail bartender or mixologist alone from £270 for three hours, a bartender with a mobile bar from £595 with glassware available to add, or a full stocked package including ingredients from £29 per guest for four hours. Postcode travel is separate.
Step 02
Select Your Cocktails
Pick your drinks from the existing Cocktailhire menu, including Espresso Martinis, Pornstar Martinis, Spicy Margaritas, Mojitos, Palomas and Old Fashioneds. Your event menu is built from those selected drinks, with the eligible choices shown for your service or package.
Step 03
Deposit & Instant Paperwork Release (With Direct Shopping Links)
Once your payment is made—even if it is only a deposit to secure the date—your full booking paperwork release is sent straight to you. If you are supplying your own alcohol and mixers, you receive an itemised shopping list with direct clickable links to every ingredient: bottle counts, mixers, garnishes and ice quantities calculated to your guest count and chosen cocktails, for complete clarity about what to buy.
Step 04
Early Arrival & Full Prep Before Service Starts
Your bartender and mobile bar installation team, if booked, turn up early with ample time before your booked service hours. They build the bar and prepare the selected drinks, including chilling glassware, juicing or slicing garnishes, preparing syrups and setting the working station where needed, so they are ready to serve the first drink at your booked start time. Setup and preparation do not use your paid service hours.

How many bartenders and mobile bar units should I book?

Use one bartender per 50 guests and one 1.5m bar unit per 100 guests, rounding each division up. Up to two bartenders work behind one unit.

How many bartenders and mobile bars do I need under the 1:50 & 1:100 Rule?

Book 1 cocktail bartender for every 50 guests and, when hiring a mobile bar, 1 mobile bar unit (1.5m) for every 100 guests.

Up to 2 bartenders can work side-by-side behind each 1.5m unit.

1 bartender for every 50 guests: £270 per bartender for the first 3 service hours, then £67.50 per additional hour per bartender.
1 mobile bar unit (1.5m) for every 100 guests: £325 per unit, with up to 2 bartenders working side-by-side behind each unit. Add a second unit once your guest count passes 100.

Exact guest-count scaling: staff and staffed-bar examples cover three service hours; stocked-package examples cover four hours. Postcode travel and agreed extras are separate.
Guest Count	Bartenders Needed (1 per 50 Guests)	Mobile Bar Units Needed (1 per 100 Guests / up to 2 Staff Per Bar)	Bartender-Only Price (3 Hours)	Mobile Bar + Bartenders Price (3 Hours)	Full Package Including Ingredients (4 Hours from £29 per Guest)

Divide the guest count by 50 for bartenders and by 100 for bar units, rounding each result up. Staff-only bookings use your suitable counter. The staffed-bar examples exclude ingredients, ice and glasses; glassware hire can be added. Stocked packages include the agreed bar, staff, cocktail ingredients, ice and glassware for at least 50 guests and four hours. Tier 2 is £34 per guest and Tier 3 is £39 per guest for four hours. Postcode travel is itemised separately. LED Gatsby requires at least two bar units, so the one-unit starting examples apply to other eligible finishes.

The total lengths shown are straight 1.5m modules. Allow the measured working depth and guest circulation for your selected straight, horseshoe or island layout; confirm separate bar positions and venue access in your booking.

Why Book Direct With Cocktailhire Instead of an Event Directory (Like Poptop) or Agency Broker?

Event directories such as Poptop connect you with separate suppliers, while staffing agencies arrange teams through their own rosters. With Cocktailhire, you book directly with the operator providing your bar service. Compare the fees, team, paperwork and preparation arrangements before paying a deposit.

What Matters on Event Night	Cocktailhire (Direct UK Operator)	Event Directories (e.g. Poptop)	Generic Staffing Brokers
Platform & Broker Commission	0% booking-marketplace commission when you book directly with Cocktailhire. Fixed direct rates from £270 for staff or £595 for a staffed mobile bar.	Poptop publishes a 12% supplier booking fee, including VAT, deducted from the deposit. A separate customer Protection Fee applies; see the current fee sources below.	Ask for the complete quote, including any agency or administration fees and applicable VAT.
Who Actually Turns Up?	Vetted Cocktailhire professionals trained under Stu Hoyland, with the booking and team brief managed by Cocktailhire.	You choose a listed supplier. Poptop's terms require suppliers to confirm appropriate qualifications, insurance and experience.	Confirm who is allocated, their cocktail-service experience and which company is responsible on the day.
Deposit Paperwork & Shopping List	Immediate paperwork release after payment, including a deposit where available. Client-stock bookings include an itemised shopping list with direct clickable ingredient links; stocked packages include the agreed ingredients.	Ask your chosen supplier which booking documents and ingredient guidance are included and when they are provided.	Confirm when the agency releases its paperwork and whether ingredient quantities and shopping links are included.
Early Arrival & Preparation	Arrival planned 45–90 minutes before service, with access agreed. Setup and preparation take place outside paid service hours at no extra preparation charge, ready for the first drink at your booked start.	Confirm the selected supplier's arrival time, preparation allowance and any setup charges before booking.	Agree arrival and access in writing, and check whether preparation is separate from the quoted live-service hours.
Bar Hardware Engineering	Our in-house bar units are 1.5m wide and 108cm high, at £325 per standard unit. Two bartenders can work side-by-side behind one unit: £865 for one bar and two bartenders for three hours, covering up to 100 guests.	Equipment depends on the selected package. Check the actual bar dimensions, working area and staffing capacity.	Request the proposed bar configuration and itemised staff/unit costs for your guest count.

The staff-only and bar-and-staff examples above are for three hours, before postcode travel. You arrange ingredients and ice for those formats; glassware hire is optional with a mobile bar. Stocked packages are priced separately.

Poptop's published customer Protection Fee has a £9 minimum, is capped at £49 for bookings up to £490, and adds 5% on the value above £490. It is separate from the supplier quote. Sources checked 2 November 2026: supplier payment guide, customer Protection Fee and Poptop's terms. Other suppliers and agencies set their own terms.

Watch this video on YouTube

What is included when I hire a cocktail maker?

Stu explains the working tools included with staff hire and how mobile bars and glassware relate to the items selected on the booking.

What should I know before booking?

Confirm the date, postcode, guest count, service hours and who supplies the bar and drinks. The answers below cover the remaining practical booking details.

What should I send for an initial quote?

Start with the date, full event postcode, guest count and service hours. State whether you need staff at an existing counter, a staffed mobile bar or a stocked package. You can choose cocktails after establishing the service.

Can I choose the cocktails?

Choose up to five drinks from the existing Cocktailhire menu. The event menu uses your selected drinks. Stocked-package tiers have different eligible menu choices, shown in the booking system.

Who supplies drinks, ice and glasses?

For staff-only hire, you provide ingredients, ice and glasses using the shopping list. Add glassware with a staffed mobile bar, or choose a stocked package with the agreed cocktail ingredients, ice and glasses included.

Can I book Cocktailhire for an event in Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire & East Anglia?

Yes. This regional service covers Essex, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Shenfield, Loughton and the other places in its coverage table. For an Essex or East Anglia house or garden party, identify ingredient storage, chilling space and the working counter. Share the route from parking to the service position and any concentrated guest-arrival period. Travel is quoted separately from the full event postcode.

How many bartenders and mobile bars do I need for my guest count?

You need 1 cocktail bartender for every 50 guests (£270 per bartender for 3 hours, then £67.50 per additional hour per bartender) and, when hiring a mobile bar, 1 mobile bar unit (1.5m) for every 100 guests (£325 per unit). Up to 2 bartenders can work side-by-side behind one unit. Up to 50 guests need 1 bartender and 1 bar (£595); 51 to 100 guests need 2 bartenders behind the same single bar (£865). Round each guest-count division up: add 1 bartender per 50 guests and 1 bar unit per 100 guests. Postcode travel, glassware hire and other agreed extras are separate.

When do I receive my shopping list?

Once a payment has been made, even a deposit, your full booking paperwork is released. If you are arranging the ingredients, the itemised shopping list shows the quantities for your selected Cocktailhire drinks and direct ingredient buying links.

Does setup time come out of my booked hours?

Preparation is arranged before the booked service starts. Your bartender arrives early enough for the agreed setup and preparation, so those tasks do not use your paid cocktail service hours. Confirm venue access and arrival arrangements in the booking.

What is included when I hire a cocktail maker?

Staff hire includes the bartender and working cocktail tools. You provide a suitable counter, ingredients, ice and glasses. A mobile bar and glassware can be added, or a stocked package can include the agreed equipment and supplies.

Is postcode travel included in the starting prices?

Postcode travel is itemised separately in your quote, along with any agreed extras. Review the service, supplies and final total before confirming.

Does the £595 staffed-bar price include glassware?

The £595 starting example covers one 1.5m mobile bar unit and one bartender for three service hours. Ingredients, ice and glasses are separate; glassware hire can be added. A stocked package includes the agreed glassware.

Which additional planning questions can I read?

These further answers retain the details relevant to this page.

What is the minimum for a stocked cocktail package?

Stocked packages have a minimum of 50 guests and four hours. Tier 1 is £29 per guest for four hours, Tier 2 is £34 and Tier 3 is £39. For 50 guests, Tier 1 starts at £1,450 before postcode travel and agreed extras.

Can I choose LED Gatsby for a single bar unit?

LED Gatsby needs at least two units. The one-unit £595 staffed-bar starting example therefore applies to other eligible finishes.

What information do I need for an event quote?

Start with the event date, full postcode, full guest count and service hours. Choose staff at your counter, a staffed mobile bar or a stocked package, then review the itemised total and responsibilities.
