Mobile Cocktail Making Class in Northallerton
Buff Boyz brings a two-hour, hands-on cocktail class to wherever your group is staying in and around Northallerton. It is a class rather than a drinks service: your host demonstrates, and every guest makes three cocktails themselves. Spirits, mixers, ingredients, glassware and equipment all arrive with the host.
The price is £38 per person with a clothed mixologist or £45 per person with a buff butler host, plus travel. The minimum is 10 guests, and everyone present in the property must be 18 or over.
Rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot (checked September 2026).

What happens during the two-hour class
Your host arrives about 15 minutes before the start to set up; larger groups or awkward access can need longer, and that is confirmed with your booking. Setup does not come out of your two hours.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Welcome and demonstration | Your host introduces the three drinks your group chose and shows the techniques — measuring, shaking, muddling and stirring |
| Making the cocktails | Every guest makes all three cocktails, with the host guiding each one |
| Games | Party games run between the drinks |
| Pack-down | Your host takes everything away when the class ends |
Choose your three cocktails
Your group chooses three drinks together, in advance, from this menu: Gin Fizz, Pornstar Martini, Southside, Woo Woo, Mojito, Blue Lagoon, Cosmopolitan, Piña Colada, Espresso Martini and Sex on the Beach. Everyone makes the same three, so the host can teach the group together.
Mocktails and allergies
Mocktails are available at a discounted rate, shown in your written quote. Tell us about any allergies when you book; ingredients are handled together during the class, so cross-contamination cannot be ruled out.
Is it right for your group?
Numbers. The minimum is 10 guests. If numbers drop below 10 after booking, you still pay for 10. There is no set upper limit — large groups are assessed individually, and your quote will say whether a second host is needed.
Age. Everyone present in the property must be 18 or over, including anyone there who is not taking part.
Space. The group needs room to stand around a table or counter, plus a work surface and sink the host can use. For guests who need to stay seated, the class can usually be adapted, subject to the layout of the venue and individual access requirements — tell us when you enquire.
It works for hen parties, birthdays and work socials; for a work social or a mixed group, the clothed mixologist may suit better.
Prices and host options
The class is priced per person: £38 with a clothed mixologist or £45 with a buff butler host, plus travel. The host is the only difference — the drinks, the two hours and everything supplied are the same.
| Feature | Clothed mixologist | Buff butler host |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £38 per person | £45 per person |
| At the 10-guest minimum | £380 plus travel | £450 plus travel |
| What the host wears | Clothed | A front-covering apron worn over bare skin, with a collar, cuffs and a bow tie. Full nudity is not part of the service |
| Class content | Identical | Identical |
| Included | You provide | Quoted separately |
|---|---|---|
| Your host for two hours | Room for the group and the owner’s permission | Travel, from the full event address |
| Spirits, liqueurs, mixers and fresh ingredients | A work surface the host can use | Mocktails, at a discounted rate |
| Glassware, ice and all equipment | Access to a sink | A second host, if your quote says one is needed |
| Setup before the start and pack-down at the end |
A fixed £20 deposit, taken off your total, secures the date, and the remainder is payable by the deadline in your booking confirmation. As long as your event details stay the same, the figure in your written quote is what you pay.
Local insights: will the class work at your Northallerton stay?
Start with the kitchen, not the location. Before you book, check three things in the listing photos or with the owner: a table or counter the host can work from, a sink the host can use, and the owner’s agreement to a hosted class. A converted barn, a village cottage or a house near the High Street can all work well when those three are in place.
Out in the villages, nothing needs buying in. Northallerton lies in the Vale of Mowbray, with the Dales to the west and the Moors to the east. The places to stay listed for the town on Visit North Yorkshire include a village inn and a converted farm annexe alongside town addresses. For the class, it doesn’t matter how far your stay is from the shops: spirits, mixers, fruit, glassware and ice all come with the host.
A village a few miles out is one quote. Travel is worked out from the full event address, so a stay near Osmotherley or Brompton is simply part of your quote rather than a separate arrangement.

- Choose your three cocktails with us in advance, and tell us about allergies or mocktails.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
If you cancel, the £20 deposit is non-refundable. What happens to the rest depends on how much notice you give.

|---|---|
| More than 30 days | The full remaining balance is refunded |
| 14 to 30 days | 50% of the remaining booking balance is refunded |
| Under 14 days | No refund |
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.
If Buff Boyz has to cancel, you can choose a replacement host, a rescheduled booking, or a full refund including the deposit.
