Mobile bar hire across Clapham for garden parties, house parties, and outdoor events. Licensed bartenders and a fully equipped portable bar delivered to Clapham Common, Clapham Junction, Clapham North, Battersea, Wandsworth, Balham, Tooting, and Brixton.
Garden Parties
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces surrounding Clapham Common have some of the largest rear gardens in South London. From May through September, garden parties with mobile bar service are our single most popular booking type in the Clapham area. Our outdoor bar unit sets up on grass, patio, or decking and operates entirely self-contained — the only requirement from you is a standard power socket or we bring a silent generator.
Summer cocktail menus for Clapham garden parties lean toward refreshing, crowd-pleasing serves. Aperol Spritz, Palomas, Mojitos, and frozen Margaritas suit the outdoor format, while Espresso Martinis remain the most-requested single cocktail across all our Clapham bookings. We carry full garnish trays, citrus presses, and ice reserves sufficient for six hours of continuous service in warm weather.
Battersea Park events follow a similar outdoor format but require additional coordination with Wandsworth Council's parks team for vehicle access and power supply. We handle this logistics layer for you. For comprehensive garden party options, see our garden party bar hire page.
House Parties
Clapham's young professional demographic makes it one of the busiest areas in London for house party bar hire. Birthday milestones — 25ths, 30ths, and 40ths — are the most common occasion, followed by engagement celebrations and seasonal parties. Our compact bar unit fits through standard doorways and positions in kitchens, dining rooms, hallways, or garden patios depending on the layout of the property.
The all-inclusive package is the most popular choice for Clapham house parties. A single per-person rate covers premium spirits, fresh mixers, garnishes, ice, glassware, two bartenders, setup, and breakdown. The host provides the venue and the guest list — we handle everything else. Drinks service runs from the moment the first guest arrives until the agreed finish time, and our team clears the bar area before leaving.
Balham, Wandsworth, and Tooting extend the Clapham service area southward. The terraced houses along Balham High Road and the residential streets of Wandsworth Common provide similar indoor-outdoor party spaces. Brixton's converted Victorian properties and communal garden flats to the east offer another popular format. For event-specific details, see our house party bar hire and birthday party bar hire pages.
Packages
Clapham events are predominantly house parties and garden parties for 30 to 100 guests. Our dry hire package is the most cost-effective option — we provide the bar unit, two trained bartenders, glassware, ice, and all accessories, while you supply your own drinks. This gives complete control over the budget and lets you choose your own spirits and wine from local shops or online delivery.
All-inclusive packages remove every element of planning. We arrive an hour before guests, set up the bar with a pre-agreed cocktail menu, serve throughout the event, and break down afterwards. Premium spirits, fresh mixers, garnishes, and unlimited ice are included. This is the option chosen by most Clapham hosts who want a completely hands-off experience.
For events with a mix of drinkers and non-drinkers, our mocktail bar hire runs alongside the full cocktail menu. Non-alcoholic Espresso Martinis, virgin Mojitos, and craft sodas are served with the same glassware and presentation as their alcoholic counterparts — no compromise on quality for non-drinking guests.

Getting there
