  • "Maxfield and Dyer Mixology served the most delicious cocktails for my 60th birthday celebration. They were incredibly punctual, efficient and charming. Nothing was too much trouble, no detail was overlooked. They kindly stayed longer than agreed and left the venue immaculate. I couldn’t recommend them enough. We will definitely be using them again."

  • "Theo and James provided the bar service for our wedding and were absolutely incredible! We worked closely with Theo creating the cocktails, and he was so helpful. The drinks were a massive hit and made the evening even more special! Everyone loved the cocktails and the bar staff. Thoroughly recommend them!"

    Charlie & Ellie | Wiltshire | August 2024

  • “I was recommended to use Maxfield and Dyer to provide and run the cocktail bar at our daughter's wedding for 180 guests. They are a very professional team, taking the time to run through choice of cocktails and the quantities to make sure everything would run smoothly on the night . The team were excellent, the bar was well run and we did not run out. Nothing was a problem, they stayed to help wind down the evening at the end of the event circa 2 am. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

    Noel | Wiltshire | December 2024

  • “I've worked with James and Theo over the past years. As an Event Planner, I look for suppliers who deliver exceptional quality and service for my clients. Maxfield & Dyer deliver this in spades. They are firmly my go-to bar team and mixologists. Their experience, care and attention to detail are second to none, and I highly recommend them.”

    Jenna Hewitt | Events Organiser

  • “Jack and I wanted to say a humongous thank you for the absolute knock-out drinks and service over this weekend. You guys were incredible from start to finish and we felt in the safest of hands. Not only did everyone absolutely devour and love your cocktails, they also loved chatting to you guys and you completely made the weekend what it was. It seriously wouldn't have been the same without you and we are so grateful. We will be recommending you far and wide and no doubt will see you before too long at friend's and families events.

    Thank you again for your incredible professionalism, attention to detail, fun, hard work and of course the amazing drinks that we could live off forever. 

    We are on cloud 9 and just had the time of our lives!”

  • “Cannot recommend Maxfield & Dyer more highly. From the very first contact they were professional, charming and attentive. They did everything they promised … and more. We hired them for our son's engagement party where they made the most delicious cocktails and took full charge of all the drinks, serving from an amazing bar they provided and installed in the garden. They were a huge part of the success of the party and we - and most of the guests - will be using them again. Thank you.”

    Leslie & Caro | Surrey | July 2025

  • “I could not recommend Theo and James (aka Maxfield and Dyer) more highly. Not only are they charming, unbelievably good at their jobs and two of the nicest men I've met, but they also went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had the best possible day. Not a single glass was ever empty and each of my friends I've debriefed with since the wedding have brought up how amazing the 'cocktail guys' were. They were so much more than just cocktail guys. James helped my Granny inside during a particularly stormy moment and Theo brought me a tray of my quite niche pickle-infused favourite cocktail without me even asking for it.

    If you want your event to be taken to the next level by two people who genuinely care about giving you the best possible day, look no further.”

    Ed & Esme | Somerset | August 2025

  • “We had the absolute pleasure of having Theo and James from Maxfield and Dyer Mixology run the bar at our wedding this past weekend, and they were nothing short of phenomenal. The setup was truly unbelievable, and they went above and beyond to meet every need, even doing extras they didn’t have to. Our day honestly wouldn’t have been the same without them.

    The drinks were incredible, and we had so many compliments from our guests about the quality and creativity of the cocktails. James, Theo and the teams professionalism, energy, and attention to detail really made the whole experience unforgettable.

    We could never recommend these guys highly enough, if you’re planning a wedding, party, or any kind of event, definitely give them a call. You won’t regret it!”

    Sam & Katherine | Somerset | September 2025

  • “Theo and James were absolutely AMAZING at our 40th party. The cocktails were out of this world! Everyone could not get enough of them. Theo and James not only make amazing cocktails but they are true professionals and helped out with the whole running of the day drinks wise so we didn't have to worry about a thing! I'm already trying to plan another party where then can come back and I can have some more of there palomas! Thank you so much to the whole Maxfield and Dyer team x”

    Catherine & Anthony | Dorset | August 2025

  • “EXCEPTIONAL!! From our initial consultation call through to the last drink served, the team operated with true professionalism, care and attention to detail. The cocktails were delicious, fresh and high quality - the service they provided to us and every guest on the evening was stellar. They brought a flare, character and magic to the night that we would've been at a loss without.”

    Ferdy & Mimi | Wiltshire | March 2025

  • “Theo and James did an absolutely stellar job at our recent event. We and our guests loved all the drinks (the Smokescreen was my personal favourite) and the service was delightful. We would recommend them to anyone with no hesitation!”

A Queen's Park Swizzle cocktail made with aged cuban rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, sugar syrup, mint leaves and lots of crushed ice, topped with a layer of bitters and a bouquet of mint as garnish. Served in a sling style glass, with a reed straw

We never compromise on taste, and neither should you.

We only use high-quality spirits, freshly squeezed citrus, house-made cordials and crystal-clear ice, ensuring every drink is exceptional.

Years of experience have allowed us to refine our technique, creating cocktails that are carefully prepared and efficiently served, without creating queues at the bar.

Alongside timeless classics, we offer a selection of our own signature creations that celebrate seasonal and local produce. Cocktails should never be an afterthought, they should be the highlight of the event.
