David was polite and professional from start to finish. We went for the full mobile bar service which completely stress and hassle free. Drinks were delicious and served constantly which is exactly what we were looking for. Would highly recommend Cocktail Time and David in particular.

Highly recommend! Our bartender was professional but fun. All of our guests commented on how good he was at his job. Very entertaining and really made the party a great one. Having someone else serve drinks, clear glasses etc meant that I could actually enjoy my party and not worry about the guests. Will definitely use again.
