Frequently asked questions about bartender hire in Shrewsbury
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.
Is it tricky reaching venues inside Shrewsbury's river loop?
Not at all. While Shrewsbury’s town centre sits within a loop of the River Severn, there are multiple bridge access points including the English Bridge and Welsh Bridge. We are experienced at navigating to venues in the town centre and will find the best route and parking for your location.
Can your bartenders reach venues on Shrewsbury's historic streets with all their equipment?
Absolutely. We know how to find access points and loading bays near restricted areas, so narrow streets and pedestrianised zones are not an issue. We only allow 30 minutes for setup, so we may need to book additional setup time for tricky access locations. Please enquire about this before booking and we can advise on exactly what is needed.
What if my venue in the town centre within the river loop in Shrewsbury does not have parking nearby?
No problem at all. All parking costs are included in your booking and our team will find suitable parking near your venue, whether that is an NCP, pay-and-display, or a residential street. You do not need to arrange anything for us.
Do you cover areas outside Shrewsbury?
Yes, we cover all of Shrewsbury and the surrounding area, including Telford and Atcham. We also offer a cocktail making class in Shrewsbury. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK!
How far in advance should I book a bartender in Shrewsbury?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and during popular periods in Shrewsbury. That said, we are flexible and can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings.
