Hire mobile bar units for events. Bar counters, back-bar fridges, ice bins, draught beer fonts and glassware from a single delivery. Live stock, no deposit.
A mobile bar unit takes a drinks service from a trestle table with bottles on it to a proper bar with a counter, preparation space, and a professional front-of-house setup. Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade mobile bar units alongside glassware, refrigeration, and all supporting bar equipment from a single delivery.
\\nA single bar counter unit (typically 1.2m wide) suits parties and small receptions of up to 50 guests. For 100 to 200 guests, use two counter units end-to-end with a back-bar unit behind for storage and refrigeration. For large events or multi-point bar setups, position separate bar stations around the venue to reduce queue build-up at peak service times.
\\nBack-bar fridges keep stock cold during service. Ice bins handle bucket ice for spirits and chilled wines. Glass polishing stations let staff turn glasses between services. For a draught beer setup, the Lindr beer font connects to standard UK kegs and provides commercial-quality poured pints.
\\nCalculate glassware quantities based on peak concurrent service, not total attendance. At a 100-person party, the bar rarely serves all 100 simultaneously. 60 wine glasses, 40 highball glasses, and 40 champagne flutes cover most bar service scenarios at that scale. Read the Glassware Hire Guide for detailed quantities by event type.
\\nBar equipment delivers Monday to Sunday across England and Wales. Live stock, no deposit. Return everything in the same crates it arrived in.
A mobile bar serves as a focal point for any drinks reception or party. The most effective bar positions are at the back of a room (so guests flow away from the entrance toward the bar) or at the corner of a room (which reduces queuing in main circulation routes). Placing a bar in the centre of a room creates a bottleneck. Position the bar where guests can queue without blocking access for other guests or for service staff.
\nFor events where the bar is a centrepiece of the design — product launches, brand activations, festival bars — the bar unit itself is part of the aesthetic. LED bars create strong visual impact in low-lit venues. Classic mahogany bars suit formal dinners and awards evenings. Read the Bar Hire Guide for setup options and quantity planning for different event formats.
