Booked for Birthday party

I booked this service for my 50th birthday party at home. From the start the supplier was highly responsive and efficient. The lady that worked on the bar for the afternoon/ evening was absolutely fantastic. She was so professional, helpful, organised, efficient and really lovely with all the guests. Loads of guests commented on how great she was. It really helped my party run smoothly and contributed to it being a success. I would highly recommend this supplier and service. Thank you so much .

Booked for Birthday party

Gabriel was fantastic on the day!! Really wowed the guests and kept the drinks coming!! I wish Adrian, the main contact, was a bit more responsive in the run up to the event, but we appreciated Gabriel's efforts. If he's keen, we'd love to book him again for new year's!

Booked for Wedding

Fernando and his team are truly exceptional! His professionalism and flexibility made the whole process so much better and gave us confidence that the bartending service for our wedding was in good hands! The bar setup was sensational! Everyone loved it and could not stop going back and grabbing the amazing cocktails they had prepared, or requesting tailor made cocktails that they were more than happy to make. I would highly recommend they’re services and I’ll definitely be using them again for further events!

Booked for Halloween

Thanks to Lucian for being a wonderful bartender, but would not book via Cocktail Time (David) in future. Was initially tricky to get hold of him - waited 24 hours and left a unreturned voicemail (mentioned he was out of town - but doesn't take a minute to send an email to someone who has paid a deposit!). Eventually got a call back 2/3 days later. Put together a menu of 3 cocktails and 1 mocktail. He forgot to add soda water to the shopping list for the mocktails which luckily my wife caught while ordering (or that would have been a disaster), but coffee beans were missed for espresso martinis and there was garnish confusion where David put specific garnishes for 1 of the cocktails but didn't tell us (or the bartender) how they associated, so the bartender asked for something else. When given the feedback, he defended his list (minus the beans). I feel he needs to step up and appreciate we didn't pay him for a list, we paid for an overall management service this is quite a fundamental error. When putting the list together, he mentioned he doesn't have a standard list of cocktails but I'd rather have had a standard list then go bespoke, and miss ingredients.

Booked for Other Event

We booked Roger for a work event for an alcohol client to showcase different spirits with a range of cocktails. He was easy to contact, very professional and really made the event. Would recommend to anyone thinking of booking!
