Hannah Marshall2024-08-28Lissie and her team did such an outstanding job for our wedding, we couldn't be happier! Throughout the planning process Lissie was attentive and really listened to what we wanted. She was so patient, putting up with our many questions and changing our minds, and she was flexible with what drinks we could order to make sure we got all our favourites. She helped us to plan how the bar service would run, using her expertise to make sure we thought of everything and coming up with great ideas to ensure everything worked smoothly. We talked so much in the lead up and she was so excited for us that she felt like a friend on the day. On the day the Clever Mike Bar looked absolutely brilliant and really set the scene we wanted for our cocktail hour; the cocktails were an absolute hit with all our guests! They also decorated the main bar area which looked great, and made such a difference. The drinks were absolutely delicious - they really know their stuff! The service was super lovely and professional and they served everything very quickly (even with the many baby Guinnesses that were ordered!). Lissie made a point to bring our favourite drinks to us when she noticed we were without one, which was a really lovely touch and allowed us to enjoy the day, dancing and speaking to our guests. Throughout the whole process Lissie was responsive, friendly and passionate about providing a first class bar service; we firmly believe that Near & Far are the best at what they do!

Louise Nelson2024-08-12Everything about Near and Far Mobile Bar is top quality. Hiring them for my Hen Party was the best idea and everyone absolutely loved them. The bar looked amazing, the cocktails were delicious and Matt and Jess were so friendly they just blended in with the evening atmosphere. Can't recommend this particular mobile bar company enough to give any event a fun, personal, friendly and quality feel.

Willis2024-07-21Could not recommend Near and Far Mobile Bar enough! We hired them for a garden party to celebrate a 60th birthday. They were amazing from start to finish. Lissie was amazing on the phone to help coordinate the event and then the team of Matt, Dan & Carly were fab on the day. They had thought of everything and all guests commented on how amazing the bar was. Thank you so much guys!

Stefan L2024-07-16Near & Far were fantastic for our wedding. Lissie was great in the run up, making sure the drinks list was just right with a few special requests, and all the schedule and arrangements were clear. Then Matt and the team were excellent through the day, looking very stylish and with great, friendly service. Thank you so much!
Lucy Thomas2024-07-08We hired Near and Far Mobile Bar for our wedding in June and wow... Our day would not have been as perfect as it was without this lot! From the get go Lissie was a pleasure to work with, she was responsive and went above and beyond ensuring everything was perfect during the lead up to our wedding day. She even helped us acquire a music license and sourced some alcohol-free prosecco for this sober bride! On the day, the entire team were fantastic, everyone looked so smart and friendly. Matt was incredible, every so often he would find me and see if I needed anything (which was great for keeping me hydrated, it was the hottest day of the year and I certainly would have forgotten to drink water if it wasn't for his hospitality!) Myself and my husband worked in the bartending industry for years, and we were both blown away by the standard of service set by the team at Near and Far. They collected glasses constantly so the wedding looked neat and tidy, and we had so much feedback from our guests about the friendliness of the staff and the selection and affordability of the drinks. If you're looking for a bar for your wedding, I can't recommend Near and Far enough!
Jake Knowles2024-07-07We had the absolute pleasure of working with Near & Far Mobile Bar for our wedding at Wanborough Great Barn, and they truly exceeded our expectations in every way! From the initial planning stages to the big day itself, their team was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to our needs. The selection of drinks was fantastic, catering to all our guests with a range of high-quality cocktails, spirits, wines, and non-alcoholic options. The bartenders were not only skilled but also engaging and added an extra touch of fun to our celebration. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the bar service, and we couldn’t agree more. A special shout-out to Lissie, who was exceptional on the day. Her warmth, efficiency, and attention to detail made a significant difference. She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and made sure everyone had a great time. The setup was seamless and beautifully integrated into the rustic charm of Wanborough Great Barn. They took care of everything, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day without any worries. Communication was always prompt, and they were flexible in accommodating our specific requests. We highly recommend Near & Far to anyone looking for a top-notch bar service for their event. They played a huge part in making our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you so much! Warm regards, Jake & Molly KnowlesGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 118 reviews
