At Maxfield & Dyer, everything we do is tailored to you. Whether it's an intimate gathering or a large-scale luxury wedding, we work closely with you from the moment you get in touch to the final drink of the night, to ensure every element of your bar experience is perfect.

Alongside our event services, we offer consultancy, training and bespoke drink development for businesses and corporate clients. Whatever the brief, we bring experience, creativity and a thoughtful approach to everything we do.

    Cocktails | Classic, Signature, and Custom Creations

    From the crystal glassware and clear cut ice cubes, to the house infusions and cordials we make, all of our cocktails are mixed with care. We work with the finest quality ingredients, locally sourced and seasonal produce to create the perfect cocktail experience. At M&D, we are proud of every drink we pour.

Get Started

How it works

  • It all starts with an idea. A wedding, birthday party or product launch. Whatever the occasion, wherever the venue, we’re here to bring your bar vision to life.

  • Get in touch however suits you best, by email, phone or via our contact form. We’ll arrange a time to discuss your event in detail, or you can book directly via our calendar.

  • After our conversation, we’ll send a detailed quote outlining everything included. Once you’re happy to proceed, secure your booking with a deposit.

  • We stay in close contact and liaise with your suppliers and planners to ensure everything runs smoothly. We take care of all preparation, sourcing and logistics, so you don’t have to.

  • Your event has arrived. Relax and enjoy. We’ll arrive on time, set up, and ensure everything is ready before your first guest arrives. Need us to stay later? No problem. Prefer a self-serve option towards the end? We’ll take care of that too. Once the event is finished, we pack down, clear up, and leave everything as we found it.
