01 — What's Included

What Corporate Bar Hire Includes.

Every corporate bar hire booking includes a portable bar unit, professional bartenders, premium spirits, quality glassware, ice, full setup and strike, and public liability insurance. The bar arrives 90 minutes before your event start time and is fully operational before your first guest walks in.

Corporate packages extend the standard service with dedicated account management, pre-event site visits for complex venues, and a branded menu card printed with your company name. High-volume events above 300 guests receive a lead bar manager who coordinates service across multiple bar points and liaises directly with your event manager.

Dietary requirements — vegan spirits, low-alcohol options, zero-proof cocktails — are confirmed at briefing and communicated to the bar team. No guest should need to ask twice. Our bar staff hire option is also available if you need experienced staff to work alongside your existing bar setup.

02 — Menus

Corporate Cocktail Menus.

Corporate cocktail menus are designed around your event format, not a generic list. A product launch calls for something theatrical — dry-ice spritzes or a tableside smoked serve. A client dinner needs a shorter, refined menu of three or four signature cocktails. A team Christmas party works best with crowd-pleasing serves that move fast at high volume.

Signature cocktail naming is available on all-inclusive corporate packages. Your brand name, campaign slogan, or company anniversary can be woven into the menu — a "The Brief Negroni" or "Q4 Spritz" creates a talking point and a shareable moment for social media. Printed menus and digital display formats are both available.

Zero-proof options are included as standard. Our non-alcoholic cocktail range matches the quality of our full-alcohol menu — your non-drinking guests receive the same presentation and care. View the full range on our cocktail menu page, including our No-groni and Garden Gimlet zero-proof serves.

Beer, wine, and Champagne reception service can be added to any corporate package. Reception drinks on arrival followed by cocktails during the event is the most popular format for product launches and client entertaining.

03 — Branding

Branded Bar Experiences.

A branded bar turns a drinks service into a marketing asset. Corporate clients use our branded bar packages to reinforce campaign launches, product reveals, and annual conference identities. The bar fascia carries your logo. The menu carries your colour palette. The cocktail names carry your messaging.

Branded bar fascia panels are produced in full colour on foam board or vinyl wrap and fitted to our modular bar unit before arrival. Setup is invisible to guests. Supply your brand guidelines and artwork files — we handle print production. Lead time is 10 working days from artwork approval.

Custom glassware stickers, coasters, and cocktail stirrers are available as extras. These elements combine to produce bar photography that your marketing team can use across internal communications, LinkedIn posts, and event recaps. A bar that looks right is part of your event ROI.

Repeat corporate clients — those booking two or more events per year — receive a dedicated account manager and preferred pricing. Account billing with 30-day payment terms is available for companies that require invoice-based procurement. Speak to us about setting up a corporate account.

04 — Pricing

Corporate Event Bar Pricing.

Corporate event bar hire starts from £2,200. This covers a four-hour all-inclusive service for up to 80 guests, two licensed bartenders, bar setup and strike, glassware, ice, and a bespoke cocktail menu. All prices exclude VAT.

05 — Venues

Corporate Venues We Serve.

Corporate events in London span a wide range of venue types. Office rooftop terraces, warehouse conversion spaces in Shoreditch and Hackney Wick, private dining rooms in the City, hotel conference suites in Canary Wharf, and blank-canvas studios across East London all present different logistical demands. Our crew handles each without issue.

Venues with strict licensing requirements receive a full documentation pack: personal alcohol licence copies, public liability certificate, risk assessment, and food hygiene registration where applicable. Most London corporate venues have seen this paperwork before — we know what is expected and provide it without chasing.

Outdoor corporate events — summer parties on private terraces, rooftop receptions, and garden venues — are well within our service capability. Weatherproof bar canopies are available for all outdoor bookings. Our team assesses power supply, surface access, and load-in routes at the quote stage for any venue with operational complexity.

Our professional bartender hire service is also available if your venue already has a bar setup and you need licensed, experienced staff to operate it. Both options are available across all 32 London boroughs and Berkshire.

06 — Event Types

Corporate Events We Serve.

The most common corporate bar hire bookings we handle in London are company Christmas parties (typically November–December, 80–300 guests), product launch events at warehouse and gallery venues in Shoreditch and Hackney (100–400 guests), summer parties on office rooftops and private terraces across the City and Canary Wharf, and client entertaining at restaurants and private dining rooms in Mayfair and Soho. We also serve team off-sites, award ceremonies, and conference after-parties at hotels and convention centres near ExCeL London and Olympia.

For events that need bartender staffing without a full bar unit — for example, operating an existing hotel bar or a venue's built-in bar — our professional bartender hire and bar staff hire services provide experienced licensed staff on a per-head basis. For smaller company gatherings under 50 people, our private event bar hire package may offer better value.

All corporate bookings include access to our full event cocktail menu with the option to customise. For outdoor corporate events at festival-style venues, see our festival bar hire page for multi-bar configurations and generator-ready setups.

08 — FAQ

Corporate Event Bar Hire FAQ.

How much does corporate event bar hire cost in London? +
Corporate bar hire starts from £2,200 for a standard all-inclusive package. Final pricing depends on guest count, event duration, drink menu complexity, and venue access requirements. Repeat corporate clients can arrange account billing and preferred pricing. Request a detailed quote for your event.
Can you brand the bar with our company logo? +
Yes. We produce branded bar fascias, printed cocktail menus, and custom glassware stickers for corporate events. Lead time for printed branding is 10 working days. Digital displays and LED signage can be arranged with your AV supplier. Confirm branding requirements at the point of booking.
How many bartenders do you provide for a corporate event of 200+ guests? +
A 200-guest corporate event requires a minimum of three bartenders for cocktail service, or two for beer and wine only. We scale the team based on your exact guest count, service style, and peak service windows. High-volume launches or seated dinners may require an additional bar-back.
Do you carry public liability insurance for corporate venues? +
Yes. The Sesh Bars carries £5 million public liability insurance on every booking. Certificates of insurance are issued on request — most London corporate venues and offices require these in advance. Every bartender also holds a personal alcohol licence.
Can you service multiple bar points at a large corporate event? +
Yes. We regularly operate two to four bar units simultaneously for events of 300 to 600 guests. Multi-bar setups include a lead bar manager coordinating service across all points. Satellite bars reduce queue times and improve guest flow at large-scale events.
What is the minimum booking for a corporate event bar? +
Corporate event bar hire starts from £2,200. This covers a four-hour service window, a team of two bartenders, bar setup and strike, glassware, ice, and a bespoke cocktail menu. Events under 50 guests may be better suited to our private party bar package — call 020 8087 4269 to discuss.
What types of corporate events do you provide bar hire for? +
The Sesh Bars provides corporate bar hire for product launches, company Christmas parties, summer parties, team off-sites, client entertaining, award ceremonies, conference after-parties, office openings, and charity galas. We serve events from 50 to 600+ guests across London venues including offices, warehouses, hotels, galleries, rooftop terraces, and blank-canvas event spaces in Shoreditch, the City, Canary Wharf, Soho, and South Bank.
Can I arrange corporate bar hire with invoice billing rather than upfront payment? +
Yes. Corporate clients booking two or more events per year can set up an account with 30-day invoice payment terms. This suits companies that require purchase order numbers, internal procurement approval, or accounts payable processing. A dedicated account manager is assigned to repeat clients for streamlined booking and consistent service delivery.
How does corporate bar hire differ from private party bar hire? +
Corporate bar hire includes additional elements designed for business events: branded bar fascias with your company logo, custom-printed cocktail menus matching your brand guidelines, pre-event site visits for complex venues, dedicated account management, and the option of account billing. We also provide insurance certificates and risk assessments that most London corporate venues require in advance. Private party bar hire focuses on personal celebrations and starts from £1,800 — see our private event bar hire page for details.
