Cocktail bars can be as simple as us arriving at your party with a box full of Cocktail ingredients and mixing with the main spirits supplied by you. This way you can keep a handle on the costs and how much your guests drink. You can stick to Vodka based drinks if you want or go further, it's up to you. But if you don't know what you want we can help lead you through the minefield to Cocktail heaven.

One of our newer services is our all inclusive cocktail bar. From £10 + vat per guest we will run a flairing cocktail bar (with lots of spinning bottles!) for 3 hours during the evening of your event.

Personalised Cocktail Menus

With any cocktail bar we service we always ask to provide a personalised cocktail menus. This is where we design cocktails and their names around your guests. Whether this is for a corporate party, product launch or a private party, we ask that the client supplies us with pictures, logos, stories, nick names and anecdotes to allow us to bring a personal touch to our cocktails.

All of our personal cocktails are based on the worlds most popular mixes, with a few subtle changes. This ensures guests can drink what they know and recognise, but also allow them to experience something new.

Many clients now see cocktail bars as being a unique form of interactive entertainment

Guests can stand and watch our award winning flairers juggle and spin bottles and bar equipment to mix the perfect cocktail - and they can then have a go themselves. We bring our plastic weighted training equipment with us so guests can learn some basic flairing moves without smashing bottles! We even encourage a bit of hearty competition between willing guests!

Guests can also have a master class in mixology, to allow them to create their own signature cocktail.

These two additional services have been extremely popular in recent months and we look forward to bringing them to every cocktail bar in 2008.

We can also provide reception drinks, table wine and table service as required. Many of our clients find that using one company for all their drinks requirements can relieve just one of the many stresses! We are used to liasing with caterers and co-ordinators.

Whatever you decide please rest assured that we have plenty of physical bar frontage, staff and equipment to add a fantastic bar element to your event.

Ben,
Two weeks on, time to reflect. Many thanks indeed for Capability events contribution to the success of the above party. Your understanding of the needs and behaviour of the target audience, and ability to satisfy and control it on the night, does you immense credit. Well done! Your additional input into the vexed question of electrical equipment safety, was very much appreciated. I feel you have the right ingredients to make a very successful service company and I wish you the very best for the future. Should you wish for a more formal endorsement or any further support, do not hesitate to contact me. 
Best regards
