Host Bar Hire - Norfolk

Host is a Wymondham-based mobile bar company. We run bars at weddings, birthdays, garden parties and company events all over Norfolk and Suffolk.

Every private booking is made up of three parts, and you'll see all of them before you commit: a £200 hire fee, a drinks minimum we agree with you (capped at £1,800), and any packages you choose to add. The hire fee pays for the bar, setup the day before where possible, collection, glassware, ice, garnishes, licensing and a team of three with a bar manager in charge, which is enough for up to 100 guests. Bigger events can add more staff.

Behind the bar you'll find beer and cider on draught and in bottles, wine, fizz, spirits and mixers, cocktails and proper alcohol-free choices. Guests can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or contactless. Our card machines run on mobile data, so a field with no wifi is no problem.

Where the venue isn't licensed for alcohol, one of our personal licence holders applies to the council for a Temporary Event Notice, so we need at least three weeks' warning. We carry £10 million public liability and £5 million employers' liability insurance, which most venues ask to see.

Corporate events are quoted individually. For everything else, the numbers are on the table from the first conversation.

Host grew out of Filly & Foal, our mobile bar company best known for festival-style and bohemian weddings across Norfolk and Suffolk. Over the years we kept meeting couples and party hosts who liked the way we worked but wanted a different look, something that sat just as well in a country house, a city venue or a back garden as it did in a field.

So we started Host with one rule: we don't begin with a style. We begin with your people, your plans and the feel you want, then put the bar together to match.

Our vintage wooden bar has a corrugated steel front and was built from floorboards saved from a 110-year-old farmhouse. That sums up what we like: a bit of character, made properly and built to last.

Why do we do it? A bar is where people gather, catch up and get the party going, and a good one sets the tone for the whole event. Getting that right never gets old.

Host has its own name and look, but the experience behind it goes back years. Its roots are in Filly & Foal, our sister company, which was named Best Mobile Bar Hire in the East of England at The Wedding Industry Awards 2023 and then national winner for mobile wedding bar service at The Wedding Industry Awards 2024.

As Host, we've run bars at Voewood in Holt, Barn Drift in Cley-next-the-Sea, Dragon Hall in Norwich, Glebe Farm Barn, College Farm, Hall Farm Cottages, Abbey Hall in Eye, Crow's Hall in Debenham and Wilderness Reserve. At Barn Drift in May 2026, we served 115 guests from a bar set up next to the 1940s Hangar, with Woodsman awnings for cover, setting up on the Friday and collecting on the Sunday.

Couples planning weddings in barns, country houses, gardens and fields. Families hosting milestone birthdays and garden parties. Local businesses running summer parties, staff celebrations and launch events.

Personal licence holders on the team. Where a venue isn't licensed for alcohol, we apply to the council for a Temporary Event Notice, so we need at least three weeks' warning. Where it is licensed, we can trade under its Designated Premises Supervisor.

Insured for £10 million public liability and £5 million employers' liability.

Secure card machines on 3G/4G, taking every major card plus Apple Pay, Google Pay and contactless payments.
