Booked for Birthday party

The guys did a great job recommending drinks/cocktails in advance as well as preparing, serving and generally looking after all our guests on the evening itself. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using them for any event; in our case it really meant we could enjoy more time with our friends and family at my husband’s 50th birthday 🍸 🍷 🍻 🥂 thanks again 🙏🏻

Booked for Birthday party

Absolutely wonderful experience with David and his team. Such a professional and considerate service - always on the front foot to call you and be in touch to arrange everything. They even came up with a sweet pun for our cocktail menu! Saif our bar tender on the night was brilliant - friendly, professional and went above and beyond. He also filmed and took lots of photos for us of key moments like the birthday cake! Lovely guy and a great cocktail maker!

Booked for Birthday party

Emma was absolutely fantastic. From initial phone call to arriving promptly on the day, the experience has been seamless. Emma provided an exceptional service and friends commented on how the cocktails were some of the best they had ever had! I will definitely be recommending Blind Tiger and hope to book again! Emma made our party what it was on the day. Thank you

Booked for Birthday party

We had the most amazing experience with Harry from Cheshire Mobile Bars. We hosted a surprise Gatsby Themed birthday party and having a bartender there just made the evening. For a Gatsby themed party the cocktails are almost essential and having a bartender present made the evening stress free as we didn't have to think about mixing and could instead enjoy the party present with our guests. All I had to do was tell him which drinks we wanted and Harry would put together a shopping list making is hassle free to prepare. We had our own bar table and glasses + garnish and then Harry brought all other equipment to make cocktails. The communication was smooth and easy Aside from the convenience of having a bartender Harry's charisma truly made the experience. His ability to engage with others while working is incredible and he blended in with the guests, even the outfit matched the theme🤵‍♂️🎩 It was a true joy and I can only recommend this to anyone thinking about hiring a bartender. THANKS HARRY!!!✨

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 Birthday party

I was extremely happy with the service I received. The two women turned up on time were very hard working and charmed all of the guests at the party. They quickly got to grips with the task at hand and feedback from the guests was excellent about the service. Thankyou I will not hesitate to recommend your company to friends
