Mobile bar hire in York, from a converted horsebox.
Horsebox bar hire for York weddings, estates and celebrations.
Bar hire built for York events
Mobile bar hire in York from Lunar is built around a restored Rice horsebox in reclaimed timber and steel — fully self-sufficient, with running water and warm amber lighting. It arrives as a centrepiece and leaves without a trace.
Many York venues are listed or heritage sites with strict rules on fixings and access. A mobile bar solves that: it arrives, it serves, and it leaves the building exactly as it found it.
Every booking is part of our mobile bar hire service: two uniformed bartenders as standard, scaled to your guest numbers, plastics as standard with glassware on request, and set up and pouring within around 90 minutes.

Mobile bar hire York — questions
How much does mobile bar hire cost in York?
Every York event is quoted individually against guest numbers, how long you need the bar and who's paying for drinks — guests, you, or a bit of both — or dry hire with your own stock. Send us the date, venue and guest count and you'll have a clear quote within 24 hours.
Do you charge travel to York?
York is more than 30 miles from our Coventry base, so we add a clear, agreed travel figure to the quote up front — never a surprise line on the final invoice.
Which York venues do you work at?
We're not tied to a venue list. The horsebox is fully self-sufficient, with its own running water and amber lighting, so it suits most indoor and outdoor sites with vehicle access. We'll liaise with your venue directly on access and licensing.
Can you supply the alcohol licence in York?
Yes — for staffed hire we handle the licensing. For dry hire, licensing sits with you or the venue and we'll talk you through what's needed.
How far in advance should we book?
Peak Saturdays in summer typically go 9–12 months out. Midweek and off-season dates are often available at much shorter notice — always worth asking, and we reply within 24 hours.
