ABOUT US

Founded and run by Chris, Southdowns Bar Company is based in Midhurst, West Sussex. With over a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, Chris and his handpicked team are passionate about delivering memorable bar experiences for every occasion.

We’re a small, dedicated team who genuinely love what we do. From mixing the perfect cocktail to creating the right atmosphere, we focus on the details so you can enjoy your event stress-free.

WHAT WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT:

FAMILY-RUN, PASSION-LED
When you book Southdowns Bar Company, you’re not just hiring a bar — you’re inviting a husband-and-wife team who care deeply about every detail. From initial planning to the final pour, we’re personally involved at every stage, treating your event with the same care as if it were our own.

OUR PEOPLE, OUR PROMISE
We never use agency staff. Every bartender and mixologist is trained in-house to meet our exacting standards — ensuring smooth, professional service, expertly made drinks, and a bar that runs like clockwork. No long queues, no stress — just great drinks and great energy.

DETAIL-OBSESSED
We believe in the power of the little things. From the garnish on your cocktail to the look and feel of the bar itself, we focus on flawless presentation and precision, making sure your bar is both beautiful and brilliantly run.

BEYOND THE BAR
Last-minute change? Surprise cocktail request? Need a hand with something outside our remit? No problem. We’re not just here to serve drinks — we’re here to support your event in any way we can, with a smile and a solution.

ALWAYS IMPROVING
We’re constantly evolving — upgrading our bars, refining our service, and staying ahead of trends. We believe your event deserves nothing less than our very best, every single time.

A SEAMLESS WEDDING SERVICE
We offer complete bar coverage for weddings — from pre-ceremony fizz to post-dinner cocktails and everything in between. We’re there from the welcome drinks to the final toast, ensuring every guest is served with style.

EVERY GUEST, CATERED FOR
From signature cocktails and fine wines to local ales, soft drinks, and zero-alcohol options, our menus are crafted to suit every guest. Whatever your taste, we’ll make sure there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

“To go above and beyond”
