Mobile Cocktail Making Class in Bradford
- £38 or £45 per guest
- Ten-place minimum charge
- Two hours · three cocktails each
- All ingredients and kit supplied · 18+
Picture your rented kitchen or dining table in Bradford turned into a bar for two hours: that's the class. A Buff Boyz host travels to wherever your group is staying in the district, from a city-centre apartment to a holiday cottage outside Haworth or a family house in Ilkley. Every guest gets hands-on with three cocktails, picked by your party from a menu of ten drinks. Bottles, mixers, fresh fruit and garnish, ice, glasses and all the bar equipment travel with the host.
Two hosts to pick from: a mixologist in normal clothes at £38 a head, or a buff butler host at £45 a head, dressed in an apron plus bow tie, collar and cuffs. There's no nudity with either. The charge is for ten people minimum, travel to your address is built into the price you're quoted, and under-18s can't take part.

Three hands-on rounds
What happens during the class
Before the start
Getting the bar ready
The host gets there around 15 minutes before kick-off and lays out bottles, fruit, ice and glasses on the space you've cleared. Neither that nor packing up eats into your two hours.
Make each drink
Three rounds of mixing
Each cocktail starts with the host making it in front of everyone, explaining the method, whether it's muddling mint, shaking hard over ice or building the drink in the glass. Then every guest makes their own. Repeat for the second and third cocktail. No bartending background is needed; it's a party, not bartending school.
Games between rounds
In between
Games fill the gaps between rounds and keep everyone involved, so nobody's left standing about waiting for a shaker.
Alcohol-free options
Non-drinkers
They mix an alcohol-free take on each cocktail at the same moment as everyone else. See the price section for how their places are charged.
Choose three drinks
The cocktail menu
You pick three as a group, and everyone mixes that trio. The menu, sorted by technique, with the spirit each uses:
| Technique | Cocktails |
|---|---|
| Muddled, then built in the glass | Mojito (white rum) |
| Shaken | Espresso Martini (vodka, hard-shaken for the foam), Pornstar Martini (vanilla vodka), Cosmopolitan (vodka), Southside (gin, fine-strained), Piña Colada (rum, shaken till creamy) |
| Shaken, then topped with soda | Gin Fizz (gin) |
| Built over ice | Blue Lagoon (vodka), Sex on the Beach (vodka) |
| Shaken or built | Woo Woo (vodka) |
For variety, choose across three separate rows: say a Mojito, then a Southside or Espresso Martini, then a Gin Fizz or Blue Lagoon. Methods are as Buff Boyz publishes them for its UK cocktail class. Name your three on your enquiry, or decide closer to the day.
Your quoted total
Price, minimum and what's included
Prices are per head; travel from the property's address is worked into your quote. Here's the class charge at four group sizes, before travel, if everyone is drinking:
| Group size | £38-a-head clothed mixologist | £45-a-head buff butler host |
|---|---|---|
| 10 (minimum billed) | £380 | £450 |
| 14 | £532 | £630 |
| 18 | £684 | £810 |
| 25 | £950 | £1,125 |
Mocktail pricing
Mocktail places
Guests not drinking pay a reduced rate, which Buff Boyz sets on each quote rather than publishing as a fixed figure. To budget before your price arrives, count every guest at the full rate for your host: the mocktail places can only bring the total down. If it's the non-drinkers who take your group up to ten, mention it with your enquiry; the quote confirms how they're counted against the minimum ahead of any payment.
Minimum charge
Fewer than ten?
You're still billed for ten, including when guests pull out after booking, so book numbers you can count on. Let Buff Boyz know about any change in numbers quickly; it will try to fit changes in but can't promise to (Terms 2.4).
Space and staffing
Big groups
No upper limit is set. The real limit is the number of people who can stand comfortably at your counter or table. For a large party, ask about adding a second host on the quote form; you'll see what it costs ahead of any payment.
Included and supplied
What's supplied and what you provide
The price covers: the host for two hours, every spirit and mixer, fruit and garnish, ice, glasses and bar equipment.
You provide: the room, a worktop or table, a sink nearby, and a go-ahead from the owner or hotel.
Tell the team before booking
Allergies and diets
Raise them when enquiring, before paying anything. Because shakers, jiggers and ingredients are used by everyone, nobody can be promised a class without a particular allergen; the team will explain whether the class can accommodate that guest's needs.
Choose the right host
Is a cocktail class right for your group?
Everyone is busy with their own shaker at once and nobody has to perform, so it works well for hen weekends, big birthdays and groups who haven't met before. Run through these first:
- Every guest is 18 or over, non-drinkers included (Terms 6.1). If anyone younger attends, Buff Boyz may cancel and keep what's been paid.
- There are ten of you or more, or you're comfortable with a ten-person charge.
- The property is on board. Landlords, hotels and holiday-let owners can restrict visitors, outside hosts and alcohol, and under the Terms it's the organiser who gets their permission.
- Nobody makes physical contact with the host, at any point (Terms 6.2).
Good to know
Which host?
Go with the £38 clothed mixologist for a family birthday, groups spanning several adult generations, or when the cocktails are the whole point. Go with the £45 buff butler host for the same cocktail-making format with a cheekier hosting style; the apron outfit stays on throughout (Terms 5.3: no stripping, no nudity).

Local insight · venues and access
Local insights: planning a Bradford cocktail class
Owner or hotel permission
Check that alcohol is allowed, not only the visitor
This booking brings bottles of spirits into the property, which a butler or life drawing booking doesn't. A holiday let or party house may have house rules on alcohol or events, and a hotel may have a policy on drinks brought in from outside, which can carry a charge. Ask the owner or hotel about both the host and the alcohol, and get the answer in writing.
Worktop and sink
Match the class to the kitchen you've rented
If your cottage near Haworth or in the Worth Valley has a narrow galley kitchen, use the dining table instead, with a clear path to the sink. A bigger house in Ilkley or Wharfedale may have an island or a long table, but what decides the size of group that can work side by side is the usable length of worktop or table, room to stand without blocking the sink, and the host's judgement on the day. If you'll be 15 or more, describe the kitchen or send the listing link with your enquiry, so the team can say whether a second host would help.
Timing your evening
Planning a curry afterwards?
Bradford was crowned Curry Capital of Britain for six consecutive years (Visit Bradford), and its curry guide lists restaurants from Great Horton Road to Leeds Road. If your table is booked for a fixed time, include that time in your enquiry so the class finishes with room to get there, and pre-book taxis if the restaurant is across the city from your rental.
Arrival instructions
Help the host get the kit in
Expect boxes of glasses, bottles and ice coming through your door. For a flat with a door entry system, a concierge desk or a fob-operated lift, or a cottage reached down an unlit lane, add access and parking details to your enquiry.
Compare your options
Comparing your Bradford options
| Option | What you get | Price and length |
|---|---|---|
| Cocktail class | Three cocktails per person, everything supplied; no nudity | £38 a head (clothed mixologist) or £45 (buff butler host), billed for ten minimum; 2 hours |
| Buff butler | Hosting and games, pouring drinks your group has bought; apron on throughout | From £170 per butler; two-hour minimum |
| Life drawing | Drawing a nude life model, who then hosts in an apron | £260 a group (at least six guests); 90 minutes |
| Male stripper | A single performance; any full nudity must be agreed at quote stage | From £160 a performer; 15–20 minutes |
Travel is added to each in the quote. Fancy two in one day, such as life drawing in the afternoon and the cocktail class at night? Ask for both in one enquiry so the timings can be planned together.

Five straightforward steps
How to book
- Fill in the form at buffboyzquotes.co.uk: the property's full address, the date and a preferred start, your numbers with non-drinkers counted apart, and your host. Asking for a price doesn't reserve the date.
- Wait to hear a host is free. Nothing is charged before then.
- Get the property's agreement to the host and the alcohol, and make sure there's a worktop or table and a sink.
- Pay the £20 deposit. Buff Boyz then confirms in writing; the deposit plus that confirmation secure the booking.
- Settle the balance by the due date shown in that confirmation.
Got questions? Ring 0330 133 0297, or message the team through the contact form.
If plans change
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellations must be sent by email to info@buffboyz.co.uk. The £20 deposit is non-refundable, and how much of the balance comes back depends on notice:
| When you cancel | Balance returned |
|---|---|
| More than 30 days before the class | The full balance paid |
| 14 to 30 days before | 50% of the balance paid |
| Less than 14 days before | Nothing |
Balance means the booking price less the £20 deposit. Where a band says the balance is refunded, that applies to balance money Buff Boyz has already received. Where a balance has fallen due and hasn't been paid, what remains payable is governed by the Terms and Conditions.
If Buff Boyz cancels, for example because a host is ill, it will offer one of the following: a replacement host at the same date and time, a new date agreed with you, or a refund of everything, deposit included. Asking to reschedule less than 14 days before the class can be counted as cancelling.
Booking conditions
Terms and Conditions

Your information
Privacy
The Privacy Policy says your information goes towards your enquiry, your booking and taking payment, and marketing is only sent if you opt in.

Personal data isn't sold, and the policy is to keep booking records for six years from the booking date.

Common questions
Bradford cocktail class questions
Pricing your booking
How much is the Buff Boyz cocktail class in Bradford?
£38 a head with a clothed mixologist running it, or £45 a head with the buff butler host; either way it's two hours and three cocktails each. The charge covers ten people at least, and travel to your Bradford-district address is part of the quote.
One shared menu
Can we each make different cocktails?
No. You pick three as a group from the menu of ten, and everybody mixes that trio. Choosing drinks made by different techniques gives a wider spread.
Alcohol-free places
Can guests who aren't drinking take part?
Yes. Each makes an alcohol-free take on the group's three cocktails, and their places are discounted, with the rate on your quote; until it arrives, budget them at the full rate. Everyone attending, drinking or not, has to be 18 or over.
Accommodation and access
Will the host come to our Airbnb or holiday cottage?
Yes, subject to availability, so long as the owner is happy with an outside host and drinks being mixed on the premises, and there's somewhere to mix with a sink to hand. Add access and parking details to your enquiry.
Minimum booking charge
What if we're fewer than ten?
The charge is still for ten. If your numbers are likely to fall short, a Bradford buff butler or life drawing (minimum six) may work out better value.
