Words from a few of our clients...
We couldn’t be happier with The Drunken Jockeys at our October 2024 wedding at Holkham Hall. From beginning to end the team were professional, helpful and gave us a 5* service. The cocktails were excellent – each drink perfectly balanced and full of flavour. We had so many compliments from guests not just on the flavours but the presentation of them also. The cocktail tasting allowed us to personalise our menu. The team had clearly put thought into preparing for the tasting session, we were so pleased and every cocktail felt unique to our day.
The bar itself looked stunning, one of the highlights of the wedding! It was designed to complement the grandeur of our marquee and the Holkham Hall. It really was the centre piece to our marquee that many guests complimented.
​
The Drunken Jockeys were a huge part of our wedding success. Their outstanding service, beautiful bar design, and brilliant cocktails left a lasting impression on us and our guests. We highly recommend them for any special occasion, they really did make our wedding!

"We had Will and the Drunken Jockeys for our wedding last Summer and this was the best decision we made and such a highlight of the day. Our guests are still talking about the amazing cocktails and incredible team. We wanted an apres ski theme which The Drunken Jockeys nailed. The team were incredible, so friendly and easy to work with, attentive would be an understatement - every single guest felt like they were the most important person, but most importantly they were fun and their presence just added to the celebrations. The cocktails themselves were not only delicious and different to any cocktails we'd had before, but also presented beautifully, which is a real skill with the quantity they were making. The thought that goes into creating each cocktail so that the flavours blend perfectly is so incredible, true experts who take pride in what they do. There professionalism is second to none and they were so willing to help with anything and everything the day before when we were setting up and the day of the wedding. We cannot wait for an excuse to have another big party so that we can use the Drunken Jockeys again, honestly the most incredible experience from start to finish. We truly believe the Drunken Jockeys are magical and their presence alone will make any event unforgettable."

The Drunken Jockeys were a dream to work with. From the moment we spoke with them about our hopes for the occasion, we knew we were in safe hands. Their attention to detail to create a bespoke menu was outstanding and we felt they put so much energy and effort into delivering the perfect cocktail experience. Having found out our tastes and preferences, they developed a comprehensive tasting menu and delivered a super fun (and informative) evening where we could sample all the options, discuss cocktail names, menu designs, and finalise our choices. We felt we really got to know them as a team - particularly Will, who was always prompt with his responses, and ensured everything was at the highest standard. The exceptional range of bar designs proved difficult to choose from! They were all stunning but Will helped us select one that suited our venue, and even supplied an additional bar and equipment to serve externally sourced cask ale. The cocktails themselves were superb - from welcome drinks to shooters to cocktail hour and beyond. We were so impressed by the quality, taste and aesthetics of each drink - particularly when being produced for such a large number of people. They elevated each cocktail with considered details such as whole chillies frozen in large ice cubes for spicy margaritas or sumptuous cherries suspended over amaretto sours. The bar service was exceptional and helped build a lovely atmosphere. We couldn’t recommend Drunken Jockeys more. They will go above and beyond to make your occasion the best it can be. They will certainly be our first choice of drinks supplier for any future celebration!

Catering Exquisitely designed and prepared cocktails for any occasion. The team at Drunken Jockeys continuously hit any brief put in front of them, with a balance of creativity but also remaining at their core beliefs of sustainable raw ingredients. They really are creating a whole new bar experience which the events industry has been lacking.
​
To also set them apart from the rest, they have entwined not just the taste of cocktails but the service of them. Creating draw dropping back sets for each event. Masters of their trade, all three co owners of TJD are a pleasure to work with at any step of the event, whether this be from the very initial brief, tasting, to the onsite running.
​
Each event I have been part of with them, finesses and detail has always been at the forefront. You can see the passion they have about not only providing amazing drinks but the overall service as well. For them it is all about the experience and you can see this in the delivery of what they do.
The Drunken Jockeys have been a trusted and highly valued supplier at Cowdray House for a number of years. We confidently recommend them to our clients, knowing they consistently deliver an exceptional standard of service from initial contact through to post-event support. Zack and his team demonstrate the utmost professionalism and care. They are always respectful of their surroundings and take every measure to ensure a seamless installation and de-rig.
Client feedback remains consistently positive, not only praising the stylish and well-designed bars and the excellent range and quality of beverages but also commending the friendly and professional service provided by every member of their team. Beyond being a preferred choice for our clients' private events, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with The Drunken Jockeys on numerous occasions, involving them in showcase events that highlight the very best of Cowdray House to our most distinguished guests. Their expertise, reliability, and commitment to excellence make them a valued partner, and we would not hesitate to recommend their services.
I would not hesitate to recommend The Drunken Joockeys to another museum or gallery. I worked with them on a recent internal corporate showcase event at the Wallace Collection and was impressed with the team from start to finish. Their respect and understanding of the Collection’s rather exacting rules and regulations was evident from the initial supplier walk-through, right through to the event. Despite the event taking place in some of our most precious and hard to work in galleries, their professionalism and slick operations meant that all rules were adhered to and all timings were followed meticulously. The team were a pleasure to work with on the night and their communication with the venue staff, our partnered suppliers and the lead planner really put the team at ease. The quality and style of their service was stand out and I truly value the unique product they brought to our showcase event. The Wallace Collection champion Will and his team.
