Christmas party bar hire, with a festive horsebox bar.
Christmas party bar hire for office parties and festive celebrations: a dressed horsebox bar, hosted tabs with spend caps and PO invoicing. Quote within 24 hours.
Office and corporate Christmas parties
Bring the end-of-year celebration into your office or chosen venue with a professional bar team and a dressed horsebox bar. Where the horsebox cannot fit, our existing modular bar setup brings the same team, menu and standards indoors.
A hosted tab with a pre-agreed spend cap keeps the drinks budget clear. Decide whether the bar switches to guest-pay or closes at the limit, and we handle that change on the night. Branded menus, signage and drinks tokens can carry your company look.
We work with PO numbers, issue VAT invoices and provide a full reconciliation afterwards. Explore our corporate bar hire for written venue liaison and commercial arrangements.
Private festive parties
For private festive celebrations, the horsebox brings warm amber lighting, a proper bar and two uniformed bartenders as standard for staffed hire. The team scales to your guest numbers, and we check access and licensing before the day.
Host the drinks with a tab or drinks package, let guests pay by cash or card, or cover the first round before switching to guests paying. See our party bar hire options.
Booking lead times
As early as you have a date. Summer Saturdays and the weeks before Christmas go first. It's still worth asking about a short-notice date — we reply within 24 hours either way.
Send the date, venue and guest count so we can check availability, access and your drinks plan together.

Can you run a hosted tab with a spend cap?
Yes. We run an open bar up to an agreed limit, after which we switch to guest-pay or close the bar — whichever you prefer. You get a full reconciliation afterwards.
