Frequently asked questions about bartender hire in Blackpool

Do I need to supply the ingredients?

It is up to you. You can hire the bartender team only, add cocktail glassware, or add both the glassware and ingredients for a complete service. If you are providing the ingredients yourself, we will send you a detailed shopping list for your chosen cocktails.

Can I hire a mobile bar as well?

Yes. Portable bar hire can be added as an optional extra for an additional fee.

How long can I hire a bartender for?

You choose your service length when you get your quote.

Can I book a bartender in Blackpool during the Blackpool Illuminations (September to November)?

Yes, you can absolutely book during the Blackpool Illuminations. Just be aware that the Promenade gets very busy especially at weekends with slow-moving traffic along the Golden Mile. We only allow 30 minutes for setup so if road access is a little tricky, we recommend mentioning the Blackpool Illuminations when you book and we can advise on whether to allow some extra setup time.

What are the best areas in Blackpool for a hen party bartender?

Popular areas for hen parties in Blackpool include the town centre and the Promenade, but honestly, we come to you so wherever your accommodation is works perfectly. Many groups book an Airbnb or hotel suite and your bartender sets up right there.

Does beach-area parking in Blackpool affect the cost during summer?

Not at all. Even during the busy summer months when parking near the seafront fills up quickly, all travel and parking costs are included in your booking. Our team will manage the parking logistics so you can focus on having a great time.

Do I need to arrange parking for your team in Blackpool?

Blackpool generally has great parking availability, so finding a spot near your venue is rarely an issue. Our team will sort parking themselves and all costs are included in your booking price. You do not need to arrange anything at all.

Do you cover areas outside Blackpool?

Yes, we cover all of Blackpool and the surrounding area, including Lytham St Annes, Poulton-le-Fylde, Thornton-Cleveleys and Preston. We also offer a cocktail making class in Blackpool. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK!

How far in advance should I book a bartender in Blackpool?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and during popular periods in Blackpool. That said, we are flexible and can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings.
