A hands-on party at your venue
Mobile Cocktail Making Class in Leamington Spa
Book a Buff Boyz cocktail class and your Leamington townhouse, apartment or hired room becomes a bar for the evening. The host turns up with bottles, juices, citrus, ice, glasses and shakers, takes over the kitchen counter or dining table, and walks your group through three recipes. Each guest mixes every drink personally, and the breaks are filled with party games while you enjoy what you made. The whole class lasts two hours.
There is a choice of host: £38 per person for a mixologist in plain clothes, or £45 per person for a buff butler host wearing just an apron, bow tie, collar and cuffs. There is no separate travel charge: travel is included in the per-person price. You are billed for no fewer than ten places. Nobody under 18 can be at the event, whether mixing or watching.

The essentials
Leamington class summary
From setup to the final round
How the class runs
Allow for the host arriving around 15 minutes early to carry everything in. Setting out the bar and clearing it away afterwards sit outside the two hours you are paying for.
There are three rounds. To start each one, the host mixes the drink while everyone watches and picks up the method: how much goes in, how it is shaken, stirred or simply poured, and how to garnish it. Then the guests have a go. As each round is sipped, the host keeps the energy up with games, or asks the room to judge the best-presented glass.
Nobody is expected to have bar skills. This is entertainment rather than training.
Pick your three
Choosing your drinks
As a group, choose any three from this list of ten, and the whole group makes the same trio. Name them on your quote request or confirm closer to the day. Want something not listed? Raise it when you ask for a price.
The ten cocktails are:
- Espresso Martini (vodka)
- Pornstar Martini (vanilla vodka)
- Cosmopolitan (vodka)
- Woo Woo (vodka)
- Blue Lagoon (vodka)
- Sex on the Beach (vodka)
- Mojito (white rum)
- Piña Colada (rum)
- Gin Fizz (gin)
- Southside (gin)
Non-drinkers. Anyone avoiding alcohol follows the same steps with a zero-alcohol recipe. Add them to the headcount on your request; a mocktail place is cheaper, and still counts towards ten.
Allergies and diets. Flag these before you book. Because shared kit and ingredients are used, the class cannot be promised free of any allergen.
Everything for the bar
Who supplies what
You will not need your own bar or equipment; the host sets up and tidies away.
Clear pricing
What it costs
Prices per drinking guest are £38 (mixologist) and £45 (buff butler host). Travel is included in those rates, so there is no separate travel charge; the quote gives one total, and the £20 deposit counts towards it.
Example totals, with everyone drinking and travel already included:
- 10 guests: £380 with a mixologist, £450 with a buff butler host
- 14 guests: £532 with a mixologist, £630 with a buff butler host
- 18 guests: £684 with a mixologist, £810 with a buff butler host
Fewer than ten booking. The minimum applies to billing, not to how many turn up. Smaller groups pay the ten-place price. That price stays the same if guests cancel after booking, and the host still brings ingredients for all ten.
Mixed groups. Say six guests are drinking and four are not. Together that is ten places: six charged normally, four at the reduced mocktail rate your quote states.
Bigger parties. Tell us the true headcount. The space available decides how many can mix side by side. A second host may be proposed for a big group, subject to availability, and its cost will be listed separately before you pay.
Your private space
Is your Leamington venue suitable?
Wherever you are, you need a counter or table to gather round, water nearby for rinsing, and the owner’s or venue’s agreement to outside alcohol and a visiting host. Leamington’s buildings add a few practical points.
Flats in converted townhouses. Plenty of apartments near the Parade, Clarendon Square and the Old Town sit in older houses, sometimes up several flights with no lift, and with modest kitchens. Make sure the building permits parties, tell us the floor and whether there are stairs, and use the biggest table or counter near the sink.
Unloading in the town centre. The host arrives with several heavy boxes. Central Leamington streets often have permit-holder or time-limited bays, so tell us where the host can pull in briefly to carry everything inside.
Larger rented houses. A group house in Milverton, Lillington or out towards Cubbington usually has a kitchen-diner, which is the easiest set-up because the sink and table are in one room.
Hotels and function rooms. Some venues only allow drinks from their own bar. Check in advance that outside drinks are acceptable, whether corkage is charged, and how far the sink is from the room.
Securing the venue’s permission is the organiser’s responsibility under the booking terms. We strongly recommend a written yes before the deposit goes in.
Two ways to celebrate
Choosing a host, and house rules
Either host runs the same class. Office parties and mixed company tend to choose the mixologist; hens looking for a cheekier evening go for the buff butler host. He keeps that outfit on throughout; full nudity is not part of the class.
- Age. Everyone at the event must be 18 or over, including non-drinkers and anyone just watching.
- Hands off. Guests do not make physical contact with the entertainer.
- Photographs. Only with the host’s agreement.
- Sitting out. No one has to mix every round.
Public liability insurance covers both kinds of host, and venues may request evidence.

Booking steps
How to book
- Ask for a quote on the booking site: your date and time, the address, total numbers counting non-drinkers, and the host you prefer. Your quote arrives by email.
- Confirm availability. The quote alone does not secure the date, and no payment is requested before a host is lined up.
- Check the venue: consent for a host bringing drinks, and a table or counter ready.
- Send the deposit. £20 plus written confirmation from Buff Boyz locks in the class.
- Pay the rest by your confirmation’s deadline, and lock in the three drinks.
If you need to cancel
A summary only; the Buff Boyz terms and conditions apply in full. Cancel by emailing info@buffboyz.co.uk.
The £20 deposit is deducted from the total and is non-refundable if you cancel. More than 30 days’ notice: full balance back. Between 14 and 30 days: half back. Fewer than 14 days: no refund of the balance.
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 has not been paid, what remains payable is governed by the Terms and Conditions.
Moving the class in its final 14 days can count as cancelling. If Buff Boyz has to cancel, you will be offered one of the following: a replacement entertainer, a rescheduled booking, or a full refund including the deposit.

Good to know
Leamington cocktail class questions
Will it work in a small apartment kitchen?
A cocktail class usually works in a small apartment kitchen, as long as everyone fits round a counter or table near a tap. Describe the room on the form if your group is large.
What should we wear?
There is no dress code for guests; casual clothes that can survive the odd splash are ideal.
