Beautiful!
The Roaming Bar was a huge hit at our marquee wedding! The horsebox looked absolutely beautiful once it was all lit up in the evening, it added such a lovely glow and became a real talking point. The staff were so professional and friendly, and they handled everything effortlessly. The drinks were delicious, and the whole setup just fit perfectly with the relaxed vibe we wanted. We couldn’t have asked for better, great from start to finish. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic service and professionalism!
We had The Roaming Bar for our barn wedding with about 70 guests, and they were just brilliant. Everything ran so smoothly, the team were friendly, professional, and nothing was too much trouble. Their signature cocktails were a huge hit, and they even made matching mocktails so everyone could enjoy them, which was such a lovely touch. The setup looked great in the barn, and the service was spot-on all night. So many

Amazing horsebox, amazing drinks.
We had the roaming bar bring their horsebox to our marquee wedding on 5th September at our property in Selby. They were extremely easy to work with from start to finish, they designed a custom menu, provided a fantastic Prosecco wall and made sure no guests had to wait all day. The cocktails tasted great and all of our guests complemented them to me personally throughout the evening. We would 100% use them again if the opportunity comes up. Thanks team!!

Service with a smile from start to finish!
Thank you Joe & Sam for being a part of our Special Day and looking after our guests. The Roaming Bar was a fantastic addition to our wedding! The initial contact phase was smooth, helping us pick the right package for our budget and the horsebox was a really classy look. We considered a few options I'm really pleased with the decision we made. The prosecco wall included in our package, was the icing on the cake. Would Highly Recommend.

A brilliant addition to our event
We hired this mobile bar for an event in May and couldn't have been happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was organised professionally and ran smoothly. A special mention has to go to Joe and Sam, who were absolutely fantastic throughout the event. They were friendly, approachable, and worked incredibly hard to keep everyone served quickly, even during the busiest periods. Their positive attitude and great sense of humour really helped create a brilliant atmosphere, and man

21st Birthday
I hired a roaming bar for my 21st birthday and it was honestly one of the best decisions I made for the party. The setup looked amazing and added such a fun, stylish vibe to the event. The staff were friendly, professional, and kept the drinks flowing all night without long waits. The cocktail menu had great variety, and everything was made perfectly. So many of my guests commented on how much they loved it! I’d definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to make their event extra special.

Retirement Party
The roaming bar at the retirement party was a real highlight. It made serving drinks seamless, encouraged guests to mingle, and added a unique, interactive element to the celebration. The attention to detail and professionalism of the staff really made the evening feel special.

Christmas Party
The owners of my workplace hosted a big Christmas celebration for all the staff, and it was a great night. The roaming bar added a fun and festive touch, the music and decorations were spot on, and everyone loved the relaxed, cheerful atmosphere. It was a perfect way for the team to unwind and enjoy the holiday season together. P.S. The Prosecco wall was a personal favourite!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Are you available on our Wedding/Event date?

To check our availability, just send us your event date, location, and a few details about your plans. We’ll confirm right away if we’re free. Popular dates, especially weekends and summer months, do book up quickly, so we recommend enquiring as early as possible to secure your spot.


How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as soon as you know your event date. For weddings and larger events, 6+ months in advance is ideal to secure your preferred date. For smaller parties, a couple months’ notice is usually enough, but availability is always first come, first served, so the earlier you book, the better.


Do you have experience with weddings / events of my size?

Yes, we’ve catered for events of all sizes, from intimate gatherings of 20 guests to large weddings and corporate events with several hundred attendees. We’ll recommend the right number of bartenders, bar setup, and service style to suit your guest count, so everything runs smoothly and your guests are well looked after.


Are your staff trained in cocktail making, wine service etc...?

Yes, all of our team members are professionally trained in cocktail making, wine service, and general bar etiquette. They’re skilled at mixing classic and modern cocktails, pouring wines correctly, and delivering friendly, efficient service.


Can we customize the drinks menu?

Absolutely! We love creating bespoke menus. You can choose from our list of popular cocktails, wines, beers, and spirits, or work with us to design a completely tailored menu that matches your tastes, theme, or season. Whether you’d like a signature cocktail for your wedding, a themed drinks list for a party, or alcohol-free options, we’ll make sure the menu reflects your event perfectly.

What's included in the hire price?

Our hire price includes everything you need for a fully functioning bar service. Typically this covers:

  • Your chosen bar unit
  • Professional bartenders and staff
  • Glassware or disposable drinkware
  • Mixers, garnishes, ice, and bar equipment
  • Setup, breakdown, and cleanup
  • Support with menu planning and drink recommendations

Depending on the package you choose, alcohol may be included (all-inclusive) or provided by you (dry hire). We’ll always make it clear what’s covered in your quote so there are no hidden surprises.

Do you provide non-alcoholic options?

Yes, we always provide non-alcoholic options so that every guest feels included. Alongside our standard bar menu, we can serve a range of mocktails, soft drinks, juices, and waters. If you’d like, we can also design a dedicated alcohol-free menu with creative mocktails that look and taste just as special as their alcoholic counterparts.

How do you manage service for large guest numbers?

For larger events, we carefully plan staffing and bar layout to ensure smooth service. This includes:

  • Multiple bartenders based on guest count (typically 1/2 bartenders per 50–70 guests)
  • Efficient bar stations to reduce queues
  • Pre-prepared mixers and garnishes for faster service
  • Optional token or drink card systems to streamline ordering


Can you operate indoors and outdoors?

Yes, our horsebox bar is fully versatile and can operate both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, it works best on flat, level ground with enough space for guest access. For indoor events, we opt for the Handcrafted, Wooden bar, unless the Horsebox is preferred and will fit in the desired location.

Do you require power, water or other utilities?

Our bar can be self-sufficient, but access to certain utilities can make service smoother:

  • Power: A double 13-amp socket nearby is required for lighting, refrigeration, and equipment. If power isn’t available, we can supply a generator at an additional cost.
  • Water: We bring our own water containers for washing and service, but if there’s access to running water on site, that’s always helpful.
  • Other utilities: None are strictly required, we’ll bring everything else we need.

We’ll confirm all requirements with you in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
