Hire a bartender for a party

House parties, birthdays and garden parties often need a bartender more than a full bar package. We can work with your drinks and your bar, or bring ours.

See private party bar hire, birthday bar hire and garden party bar for typical setups.

Tell us the venue, guest numbers and whether you already have drinks. We will confirm how many bartenders you need.

Bartenders for weddings and corporate events

We staff wedding bars and corporate events when you already have the kit, or as part of a full package. See wedding bar hire for the complete wedding setup, and corporate events for office and client hospitality.

One bartender can cover a small reception. Larger guest lists need more staff and, on request, a supervisor.

How bartender hire is priced

We quote on the number of bartenders, hours, event type and travel. There is no set menu price on this page.

Midlands-based. We staff events across England, Scotland and Wales. We do not cover Northern Ireland.

Bar staff hire with your own bar

Need experienced staff to run your bar but already have the bar, equipment and drinks? We provide bartenders, barbacks and supervisors to work at your venue or with your own setup.

Ideal for venues with a bar but no staff, wedding couples supplying their own drinks, corporate events with an in-house bar, or private parties where you want professional service without a full bar package.

  • Support for beer, wine, spirits and cocktails
  • Cash bars, token bars or prepaid service
  • Flexible hours to match your event

Need a Complete Bar Package?

If you need bar units, equipment, drinks and staff together, our mobile bar hire includes everything. Staff hire alone suits when you already have the bar and stock.
