MOBILE BAR
HIRE MARCEL
BIG EVENT COMING UP?
Marcel’s Mobile Bar is your perfect French-inspired party piece, with his own chandeliers and Bose ambient sound system.
We’ll keep your guests’ glasses topped up with drinks of your choice – from fizz and bubbles to craft beers and cracking wines – all served from a vintage van that’s sure to be a talking point.
Marcel’s can deliver you a fully stocked and licensed bar with a team of cheery bar staff, but we’re also more than happy to create a bespoke package that’s tailored to you.
Check out our event options below, or drop us a line to discuss what you’re after.
WHAT'S BEHIND THE BAR?
We have a range of tried and sampled drinks options for you to choose from for your event, including champagne, prosecco, wine by the glass or bottle, gins, plus bottled craft beers and soft drinks.
Special thanks to our friends at Hoppily for keeping us well stocked.
We know every occasion is different, so chat to us about any extra provisions, like outdoor tables or seating, you need.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need an events licence for my party?
If you're holding your event at a venue that doesn't hold a premises licence, or looking to hold your event outside of their usual opening hours, that's no problem; we'll arrange a temporary event licence for you if required (just give us four weeks' notice so we can make the necessary application). In addition, the bar staff we provide for your event will be made up of at least one personal licence holder.
What drinks does Marcel's Mobile Bar offer?
Our drinks specialities include champagne, prosecco, wine and craft beer - these have been tried, tested and selected by the Marcel's team with the help of our preferred independent suppliers. But we can supply whatever your requirements are, including premium spirits, cocktails and, of course, a range of soft drinks. In fact, Marcel is versatile enough to be transformed into whatever type of bar you really want, from a champagne-only bar to festive mulled winter warmers.
Are you insured?
Yes. Marcel's has public liability and employers' liability insurance for every event.
Which areas do you cover?
Marcel's Mobile Bar is based in Surrey, with good road links to the M25, M3, M4 and into London. So while we mainly cover London, the home counties and the rest of the South East, we are happy to travel further afield. We also like a challenge and can organise Marcel to be placed in more unusual or inaccessible settings (subject to assessment!). Simply drop us a line to discuss your event location.
How do I guarantee a booking?
The earlier you can enquire about your event, the better! When booking with us, a deposit will be payable to secure your booking and to enable us to get planning and organising any licences in advance.
Do you accept card payments at the bar?
Yes, we do accept cards (as long as there is adequate mobile phone signal for the machine to connect to!). Of course, we also accept cash.
What availability do you have?
To see what dates we have available, get in touch with your preferred event date and we'll check our diary.
Can I supply my own drinks?
Yes, you can - check out our 'Just the van' dry hire options above.
How long does Marcel take to set up?
We've got this down to a fine art and can have Marcel set up within an hour - but we'll need extra time to get the drinks fully chilled.
Do I need to supply Marcel with water and electricity?
If we can use an existing electrical supply for our lights and fridges (just a couple of standard 13 amp sockets, please), and have access to a fresh water tap, that would be ideal. But we can supply a generator and/or fresh water if these aren't available.
Does Marcel's offer food?
Marcel's Mobile Bar is just for drinks and bar snacks - we don't prepare food.
