Frequently asked questions about bartender hire in Winchester

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 you set up at student accommodation near the University of Winchester?

We certainly can! Student halls, shared houses, rented flats and any other type of accommodation all work perfectly for bartender hire.

Can your team access venues near the High Street and Broadway area in Winchester with all the equipment?

Yes. While the High Street and Broadway area is pedestrianised, we are experienced at finding nearby drop-off points and loading bays. Our equipment is designed to be portable, so a short walk from the nearest vehicle access point is no problem at all. We only allow 30 minutes for setup, so we may need to book additional setup time for pedestrianised locations. Please enquire about this before booking and we can advise.

Can you navigate Winchester's historic streets with all your equipment?

Absolutely. We know how to find access points and loading bays near restricted areas, and our equipment is fully portable, so narrow streets and pedestrianised zones are not an issue. We may need to book additional setup time for tricky access locations, so please enquire about this before booking and we can advise on exactly what is needed.

What if my venue in the city centre near the High Street in Winchester does not have parking nearby?

No problem at all. All parking costs are included in your booking and your bartenders 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 Winchester?

Yes, we cover all of Winchester and the surrounding area, including Southampton, Eastleigh, Fareham and Basingstoke. We also offer a cocktail making class in Winchester. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK!

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

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