When planning an event - be it a wedding, corporate gathering, birthday celebration, or product launch -the drinks experience can set the tone. Mobile bar hire has become one of the most exciting and flexible ways to bring personality and flair to an event.
We’ve pulled together a list of some of the best mobile bar companies in the UK that deliver exceptional service, creativity, and unforgettable experiences.
Before we get into the list, here are a few qualities that separate the top providers from the rest:
Full-service offering - staff, glassware, mixers, garnishes, bar units, and logistics handled.
Flair and mixology skills - bartenders who can both craft and entertain.
Custom menus - from themed cocktails to alcohol-free mocktails.
Legal compliance - temporary events notices and licensing sorted.
Nationwide reach - flexible enough to serve different regions.
Strong reputation - proven client base and glowing testimonials.

Choosing the best mobile bar company isn’t just about who has the flashiest bar setup or the longest cocktail list - it’s about finding a team you genuinely connect with. A great mobile bar provider becomes part of your event’s atmosphere, so trust, communication, and comfort matter just as much as technical skill. That’s why having an initial conversation with your chosen company is essential to see whether their style aligns with your vision.
When speaking with mobile bar companies, consider a few key factors: the rapport you have with their team, the type of drinks experience you want to deliver, and whether they can tailor their service to suit your event. Understanding the packages they offer - from full-service cocktail bars to dry hire setups - also helps ensure you’re choosing a provider equipped to deliver the experience you’re looking for.
At Mix and Twist, we’ve refined a tailored event-planning journey that helps both you and our team determine whether we’re the perfect fit for your event. It also gives you a taste of the energy, creativity, and professionalism we bring to corporate events, luxury weddings, and celebrations across the UK.
Our process typically includes an initial chat (to understand your event and style), a discovery conversation (to map out what kind of bar setup and drinks experience you’re aiming for), and a planning session (to ensure the service is fully tailored to your needs and expectations).
