"We organised this for a 30th birthday in Hindhead and it honestly made the evening. The energy picked up instantly once the first cocktails were poured."
Mobile Cocktail Making Class in Hindhead | From £40 Per Person
Trust signals: Fully insured · Licensed hosts · Secure booking · GDPR-compliant
Hindhead sits within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — a natural draw for hen weekends in rented cottages, milestone birthdays at home, and private gatherings where staying put is part of the appeal. Rather than organising transport into town, your group stays exactly where you're already gathered. We bring the bar to you.
Our cocktail host arrives with everything — spirits, glassware, equipment, and a structured two-hour session — so you can focus on the occasion rather than the logistics. Prices start from £40 per person, all alcohol included.
18+ notice: Our cocktail classes are for guests aged 18 and over. We operate under UK responsible alcohol service guidelines and reserve the right to decline service where appropriate. Mocktail options are always available on request.

What Customers Say
We booked for my sister’s hen weekend in a cottage near Hindhead. Jamie was brilliant — funny, patient with everyone who’d never made a cocktail, and kept it running perfectly. The Pornstar Martinis were honestly better than anything we’d had in a bar. — Laura T., hen party, Surrey Hills, 2024 ★★★★★
Genuinely one of the best things we’ve done as a team. About 14 people in our office space, Sophie helped organise it in a week. No faff, no drama — just a really enjoyable evening. — Dan R., corporate social, Farnham, 2024 ★★★★★
My birthday was at my home just outside Hindhead and I wasn’t sure the mobile setup would work in my living room. It absolutely did. Professional, excellent cocktails, and everyone left talking about it. — Emma K., private birthday, Hindhead, 2023 ★★★★★
