Kingston upon Hull Mobile Cocktail Classes
A fully clothed host for groups wanting a milder tone, including the same two-hour cocktail class format.
The same class, hosted by a buff butler entertainer in apron, collar, cuffs and bow tie.
A mobile cocktail making class is a hosted mixology session delivered to an address you choose in Hull — a home, a self-catering apartment, a holiday let or an office.
Your host brings the spirits, mixers, ingredients, glassware, ice and equipment, runs a two-hour session in which every guest makes three cocktails, then clears the station and takes everything away.
Minimum group size is 10 guests, and all guests attending must be aged 18 or older.
Your quote itemises the class price and the travel charge separately, and nothing is payable until you have seen it.
Buff Boyz is rated 4.9 out of 5 from 265 reviews on Trustpilot and 4.9 out of 5 with an "Exceptional" rating on Feefo. Ratings checked August 2026 and cover all Buff Boyz services nationally, not Hull cocktail classes alone.

Session Flow
Your host arrives ahead of the booked start, sets up the station and runs the session from there, so nobody in your group has to organise anything on the day.
| Stage | Approximate Timing | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Arrival and setup | Around 15 minutes before the booked start. | The station is built on the surface you have provided. This sits outside your two hours. |
| Introduction | First 10–15 minutes. | A short walk-through of shaking, stirring, muddling and building, aimed at people who have never made a cocktail. |
| Hands-on making | The bulk of the session. | Every guest makes all three cocktails using proper bar equipment, with technique corrected as you go. |
| Games and challenges | Woven through. | Team challenges run alongside the making rather than replacing it. Tell us at booking if your group would prefer a straighter class and we will confirm what can be adjusted. |
| Final round and clear-down | Final part of the session. | Clearing and pack-down begin inside the booked window. The host clears the station and takes the equipment and remaining ingredients away. |

Inclusions and Requirements
Spirits and liqueurs, mixers, fresh ingredients and garnishes, glassware, ice, shakers, strainers, jiggers and the rest of the bar equipment, and your host for the full two hours.
A table or worktop for the station with room for guests to work around it, access to a sink and somewhere to put waste, and permission from whoever controls the property if it is not your own home.
Venue or room hire if your space charges for it, travel, food, and any stripping or nude element — cocktail hosts do not strip, and full nudity is not part of this service.
Your written quote is the authoritative list of what is included for your booking. If you change the booking later, the quote is reissued.
A ten-guest class runs comfortably on a standard six-foot table or a run of kitchen worktop, with guests working in pairs and rotating through the equipment. Above roughly 20 guests, a single station starts to slow the rotation, so larger groups are assessed individually at quote stage and may need a second workstation, an additional host, or a longer session.
Tell us your numbers and describe the room when you enquire and we will tell you which applies before you pay anything.
Seated participation can usually be accommodated, subject to venue layout and individual access requirements — a lower work surface and clear floor space either side is what makes it work. Raise it when you enquire rather than on the day.

Prices checked August 2026. The host style you select is confirmed in your booking confirmation, which is the document that governs what the entertainer wears on the day.
The semi-naked butler format is sometimes searched as a naked butler, party butler, buff waiter or topless waiter — it is the same host, and full nudity is not part of it.
Group Fit
| Your Situation | How the Class Fits |
|---|---|
| Hen party in a rented house or apartment | The whole group stays at one address, so there is no second journey to arrange mid-evening. Works as an early activity before going out, or as the evening itself. |
| Milestone birthday | A structured two hours with a set drinks count, rather than an open bar tab. |
| Corporate or team event | Runs in an office, meeting room or hired space, provided the site allows alcohol and outside entertainment. |
| Group with non-drinkers | Mocktail versions of the same drinks are made using the same techniques. The mocktail rate is quoted individually — give us your numbers and it is itemised in your quote. |
| Guests with limited mobility | Usually adaptable for seated participation, subject to venue layout and individual access requirements. |
| Anyone under 18 | Not suitable. All guests attending must be aged 18 or older. |

Drink Choices
Your group chooses three cocktails together from the current menu of ten. The choice is made as a group rather than drink by drink, and is confirmed at booking.
Allergies and dietary needs: tell us when you enquire and we will confirm the ingredients and products used for your three chosen drinks before you book, along with anything that can be substituted.
Everything is prepared on one shared station, so we cannot guarantee an absence of cross-contamination. If someone in your group has a severe allergy, say so at enquiry stage — in some cases the honest answer is that the class is not suitable, and it is better to know that before a deposit is paid.
Pricing and Travel
Based on at least ten guests, with travel itemised before booking.
Based on at least ten guests, with travel itemised before booking.
Hull mobile cocktail classes start at £38 per person for a clothed mixologist and £45 per person for a buff butler host, based on at least ten guests. Travel is additional and itemised before booking.
There is no fixed regional base, so the travel charge depends on where the available host is travelling from.
It is calculated for your specific address and shown as a separate line in your quote.
Enquiries are accepted across the HU postcode districts and the surrounding East Riding.
Whether a particular date can be covered depends on host availability, which is confirmed before any payment is taken.
The price shown in your written quote is the amount you pay, unless you later change the booking.
A £20 deposit secures your date, and the balance is due by the deadline set out in your booking confirmation.
Alcohol and Conduct
This is an alcohol-inclusive class, and a few things are worth knowing before you book.
Every guest attending must be aged 18 or older, whether or not they are drinking. Proof of age may be asked for.
Guests remain responsible for their own consumption. Your host is running a class, not a bar service, and measured quantities are built into the three drinks rather than poured on request.
The host may decline to serve a guest who is visibly intoxicated, and under our Terms and Conditions a booking can be ended early without refund if a guest behaves inappropriately.
Team challenges are scored on technique and presentation. They do not involve drinking additional alcohol beyond the three cocktails each guest makes.
It is worth arranging food before or during the session, particularly for an early-evening start.
Food is not part of the booking.
Physical contact with the entertainer is not permitted in either host format.

Neither format is better in the abstract. A bar-based class suits a group that is already out; a mobile class suits a group that has an address and would rather not move everyone again.
Hull Coverage and Venue Fit
Enquiries are accepted across the HU postcode districts and the surrounding East Riding. Guests regularly travel in from Beverley, Cottingham, Hessle, Anlaby, Willerby, Brough and Goole for a session held at a single address in the city.
The practical requirements are ordinary domestic ones, and most Hull addresses meet them without any preparation. What matters more than the type of property is three things: a work surface long enough for the group size, a sink within reach of the station, and a way of getting a loaded equipment case from the parking space to the room.
You need a table, kitchen island or worktop long enough for the group size and clear enough for the cocktail station.
A sink within reach of the station helps the class run smoothly and keeps the setup practical.
The host needs a workable route from the parking or loading point to the room with the equipment case.
City-centre apartments and converted flats often have permit-only or timed loading bays, and upper-floor flats without a lift add time to setup. Terraced streets in the older parts of the city can mean the nearest space is not directly outside.
None of this stops a class going ahead — but tell us the parking and access situation when you enquire, because it is the single most common reason a host needs longer than the usual 15 minutes, and we would rather build that into the timings than run into your booked hours.
Kitchen-diners and open-plan living spaces in larger family homes and holiday lets tend to be the easiest rooms to work in, because the worktop and the standing space are in the same room. In smaller flats, a dining table pulled clear of the wall usually works better than a galley kitchen.
If you are not booking in your own home, check with the person who controls the property before you book. Short-let apartments, holiday cottages, hotels and serviced offices all set their own rules on alcohol, outside entertainment and group numbers, and a landlord or host can refuse.
If permission is withdrawn after you have booked, the position is governed by our full Terms and Conditions.
Booking Steps
If you are building a longer event, we also run hen party life drawing in Hull and male strippers in Hull.

Helpful Answers
Ten. Larger groups are assessed individually and may need a second workstation or an additional host — describe the room and your numbers when you enquire.
A table or worktop, room for guests to work around it, access to a sink and a bin, and permission from the property owner if it is not your own home. Everything used in the class is brought to you.
Yes. Mocktail versions of the chosen drinks are made using the same techniques and ingredients, quoted individually. All guests attending still need to be aged 18 or older.
Around 15 minutes before your booked start for a standard booking. Larger groups, upper-floor flats without a lift, and restricted parking all add to that, so tell us the access situation and we will confirm the arrival time in your booking.
A few weeks before the date is the usual recommendation, though later bookings can often be accommodated depending on host availability.
