Christmas party bar hire in Reading and Berkshire costs from £950 for a four-hour all-inclusive package for up to 40 guests, rising to £1,600 for 60 to 100 guests and £2,600 for 100 to 150 guests. The Sesh Bars (est. 2018, Reading based, 5.0-star Google rating, 900+ events delivered) provides the mobile bar unit, licensed bartenders, a festive cocktail menu, quality glassware, ice, and complete setup and strike. Coverage includes Reading, Windsor, Ascot, Maidenhead, Henley-on-Thames, Newbury, Wokingham, and Bracknell with no travel charge inside the Thames Valley, which is the main cost difference against London-based suppliers. Office parties at Thames Valley business parks and country house or village hall celebrations are the two most common Berkshire booking formats. December Saturdays at popular Reading and Henley venues sell out by early October, so September is the practical booking deadline.
Every bartender holds a personal alcohol licence and public liability insurance to £5 million is included. Where a venue has no premises licence, which is common at village halls and private estates, a Temporary Event Notice is required and we handle the application with Reading, West Berkshire, Wokingham, Windsor and Maidenhead, or Bracknell Forest council. Bookings in the capital are covered separately on our London Christmas party bar hire page.
Christmas bar hire across Berkshire follows a predictable demand curve, and Thames Valley venues fill earlier than outer London. December Saturdays at the most popular Reading and Henley-on-Thames venues sell out first, typically by early October. Fridays follow by early November. By late November, availability is limited to weekday evenings and venues in Newbury and Bracknell where demand peaks later.

For teams of 100 or more guests, an early planning call is recommended to confirm bar placement, staffing ratios, and whether the venue can accommodate a mobile bar alongside existing catering. Request a quote with your preferred date and we will confirm availability within 24 hours.
Every Christmas party bar hire booking includes a mobile bar unit, licensed bartenders, a festive cocktail menu, quality glassware, ice, garnishes, and full setup and strike. We arrive 60 minutes before your guests and have the bar dressed, stocked, and ready to serve by the time the first person walks in.
All-inclusive packages cover the full festive drinks bill: seasonal cocktails, prosecco, spirits, beer, soft drinks, and non-alcoholic options. Public liability insurance and personal alcohol licences are included on every booking. Where a Temporary Event Notice is required, we advise on the process and can co-apply on your behalf.
Our Christmas cocktail menu leads with seasonal serves built for a December crowd. The Spiced Negroni (sloe gin, sweet vermouth, orange bitters, cinnamon) and the Cranberry French 75 (gin, lemon, cranberry, prosecco) are consistent bestsellers. The Mulled Wine Spritz and Cinnamon Old Fashioned round out the seasonal list. Every menu includes a non-alcoholic Spiced Apple Punch.
All-year classics, Espresso Martini, Aperol Spritz, and Pornstar Martini, sit alongside the festive menu so guests who prefer something familiar are covered. Beer, wine, and soft drinks are available as add-ons. See our full cocktail menu for the complete drinks list and pricing.

Berkshire Christmas parties split between two venue types: Thames Valley office parties at technology parks and business centres around Reading, Bracknell, and Winnersh, and country house or village hall celebrations across the wider county. Our mobile bar hire service fits both: we arrive at your hired space, set up a professional bar, and operate it for the duration, with no venue bar to negotiate and no corkage.
Corporate Christmas bar hire includes a named liaison who manages the drink schedule, confirms guest volumes during the event, and coordinates with venue staff on access. For village halls and private estates without a premises licence, we handle the Temporary Event Notice with the relevant council. See our corporate event bar hire page for full details on corporate packages.
