You can hire the bartender team only, add cocktail glassware, or add both the glassware and ingredients for a complete service. We will also help you plan your cocktail menu and, when you are providing the ingredients yourself, supply a detailed shopping list with everything you need. Optional extras, including portable bar hire, can also be added for an additional fee.

We have been offering our services to happy customers in and around Newquay since 2012, at private homes, rented venues, hotels and offices across Newquay, Wadebridge, St Columb Major and St Austell.

After a day on the waves at Fistral Beach or a wander up to the Huer’s Hut, a cocktail bartender turns any Newquay venue into a proper cocktail bar, from a surf lodge to a hotel suite.

Frequently asked questions about bartender hire in Newquay

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?

How long can I hire a bartender for?

You choose your service length when you get your quote.

Can you set up at a surf lodge or beach house in Newquay?

Absolutely. Surf lodges and beach houses are some of our favourite venues in Newquay. Your bartenders can set up in kitchens, living rooms, or even outdoor terraces if the Cornish weather plays along. It is the perfect way to round off a day on the waves.

Can I book a bartender in Newquay during Boardmasters Festival (August)?

Yes, you can absolutely book during Boardmasters Festival! Just be aware that Watergate Bay and the town centre get extremely busy with road congestion across the area. We only allow 30 minutes for setup so if road access is a little tricky, we recommend mentioning Boardmasters Festival when you book and we can advise on whether to allow some extra setup time.

What are the best areas in Newquay for a hen party with a cocktail bartender?

Popular areas for hen parties in Newquay include the town centre and Fistral Beach area, 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, so you get your own cocktail bar without having to leave your venue.

Does beach-area parking in Newquay 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 you cover areas outside Newquay?

Yes, we cover all of Newquay and the surrounding area, including Wadebridge, St Columb Major and St Austell. We also offer a cocktail making class in Newquay. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK!

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

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