Corporate events can often be synonymous with a lack of style and excitement, choosing affordability over high-quality food and service. However, many modern workplaces are now embracing the prospect of hosting their staff and clients to a memorable corporate experience, looking to catering companies to provide the perfect event.
One trend which has seen a rise in popularity recently is mobile bar hires. Whether you are hosting a team celebration, client networking event, or business lunch, a mobile bar is sure to be an exciting and versatile addition that will take your event to the next level.
In this blog, we will discuss what a mobile bar is, its benefits, and why partnering with Robert & Victor for your next corporate event is the best idea you will have all year.
What is a mobile bar?
Most simply, a mobile bar is a bar that is portable. They range from converted caravan trailers to smaller, easy-to-assemble classic bar fronts. When hiring a mobile bar, you can expect it to be fully stocked with a variety of alcohols, mixers, and glasses, and can often be customised exactly to the needs of your event, such as bar design, drink menus and branding.
What are the benefits of a mobile bar?
Hiring a mobile bar offers a plethora of benefits that apply to any event, no matter how big or small, formal, or informal. Here are some reasons why you should consider one for your next corporate event.
Atmosphere enhancer
Celebrating with your colleagues, bosses, or clients can feel like a daunting task, especially if there is a real lack of atmosphere. With a mobile bar, the vibe of any event is instantly lifted, adding an air of sophistication and fun. With Robert & Victor, our mobile bar hire is sure to elevate your corporate event with excellent drinks catering services, providing service staff who will bring your event to life.
Customisation and personalisation
A big advantage of hiring a mobile bar for your corporate event is the ability to customise and personalise your bar as you see fit for your event. Our mobile bar hire comes fully stocked with a range of beers, wines, spirits, and cocktails; however, working with us means you can craft a fully bespoke drinks menu that is tailored to your event’s theme of preferences.
Encourages networking
Most corporate events are planned with networking in mind, whether it be internally for existing staff or for potential future partners and clients, aimed at fostering connections. With a mobile bar, the opportunity to mingle and hold conversations is enhanced as guests can chat while waiting for drinks or discuss business over a cocktail.
With Robert & Victor’s mobile bar hire, we also include a team of professional bartenders and service staff who encourage interaction whilst keeping the energy high throughout the event. This can become particularly useful for those events where the guests may not know each other or when external clients are being encouraged to interact with the wider team.
Reduces stress for the event organiser
Planning a corporate event can be stressful and often overwhelming, especially when you oversee the setup, food, drinks, and guests. Mobile bar hires can significantly help ease this stress and take some of the responsibility off your shoulders.
Our team of highly trained and professional service staff and bartenders are experts in handling everything, from setup and drink service to cleanup. You can expect our team to:
- Fully stock the mobile bar with a variety of beverages, ensuring there is something available for everyone.
- Provide a professional bar service throughout the event, encouraging interaction and socialisation between your guests.
- Manage licensing and compliance with alcohol laws.
With all these aspects being taken care of, you can better enjoy your event without stress over making sure your guests are being taken care of.
Cater to diverse preferences
When planning an event, no matter how big or small, you always need to take into consideration the different preferences of your guests. This can include dietary requirements or simply taste preferences. Religious beliefs may prevent some guests from consuming alcohol, so soft drinks must be made available. Some guests may be gluten-free, so gluten-free beers, for example, may be added to the drink menu.
It can be beneficial before any event to find out the different preferences of your guests so that you can plan your event accordingly, whilst informing bartenders and service staff of this information. Planning an inclusive event will mean every guest goes home happy after a memorable evening.
Fits any space or venue
The beauty of mobile bars, and the reason they have become so popular, is that they are mobile. They can be moved to any location and adapt to any space, no matter the size. Their adaptability means they can squeeze into a small boardroom gathering or be scaled to a larger event in an area that is accessible to everyone.
Leaves a lasting impression
Finally, one of the biggest reasons and benefits of hiring a mobile bar is the impression it gives your guests. The quality of the experience that a mobile bar provides is one that will reflect you and your business positively in the eyes of your existing staff, partners, and clients.
