New Year's Eve Cocktail Parties
Skip the Ticket, Host It Yourself
£60 a head, a queue at the bar and a taxi you can't get home. Or: your own place, your own people, and a bartender teaching all of you to make proper cocktails before the countdown. We know which one we'd pick.
Why host New Year's Eve at home
New Year's Eve out is expensive, crowded and ends with everyone standing in the cold trying to get home. Hosting it fixes all three — and a cocktail masterclass gives the night an actual shape instead of just waiting around for midnight.
No ticket prices
No per-head entry, no minimum spend, no queuing three deep at a bar for a warm drink at 11:45.
No taxi at 2am
Nobody's fighting for a cab on the busiest night of the year. Everyone's already where they're staying.
Something to actually do
It fills the awkward stretch between dinner and midnight with something better than the telly.
Everyone's in one room
No splitting up across a venue and losing half the group. The whole party's around one table.
You're set for midnight
We time the session so everyone's got something they made themselves in hand for the countdown.
Mocktails as standard
Drivers, non-drinkers and anyone doing Dry January early get exactly the same experience.
Drinks made for a countdown
Choose any three from the full 60-cocktail menu. These are the ones that suit a New Year's Eve toast.

The one that gets everybody to midnight and comfortably past it.
Pornstar Martini

Our most-requested drink of the lot, served with a shot of fizz on the side.
Amalfi Spritz

New Year's Eve cocktail parties — FAQs
How early do we need to book New Year's Eve?
New Year's Eve is the single most requested date of the year, so as far ahead as you can. Many groups book their 31 December date months in advance and secure it with a deposit.
What time would you arrive on New Year's Eve?
That's up to you. Most New Year's Eve groups start early evening so the masterclass runs before midnight and everyone has a drink in hand for the countdown. Tell us your plan for the night and we'll work the timings around it.
How long does the masterclass last?
Around 2 to 3 hours depending on group size — a welcome drink, three cocktails made hands-on by every guest, and games along the way. Then the rest of the night is yours.
Can we do it at an Airbnb or holiday cottage?
Yes, and lots of New Year groups do exactly that. All we need is a table and access to a tap. Just check with your host that an event is fine, and make sure we can park nearby to unload.
Can non-drinkers and kids join in?
Every cocktail on our menu can be made alcohol-free, so non-drinkers and designated drivers get the full hands-on experience. For family New Year parties we're happy to run mocktails for younger guests alongside the adult session.
