Meet the Cocktail Service
Introducing The Cocktail Service, the creative mind behind the cocktails at our incredible Medieval pop-up Cocktail bar, Scriptorium.
The Cocktail Service create extraordinary drinking experiences for clients across the UK and internationally.
They are regularly engaged by clients including The Shard and the Natural History Museum to run extraordinary event bars curated to every detail.
Created by Nick Ford, Casey Small, and Tom Bronock in 2009, The Cocktail Service started out from a garage in rural Oxfordshire.
The trio were all working in Oxford’s Wheatsheaf Yard when they began catering for outside events and discovered a gap in the market.
Since then, they’ve grown to become one of the UK’s leading drinks agencies, hosting events for Adidas, Facebook, Google, and Harrods.
Offering drinks which are flavourful and visually stunning, The Cocktail Service has a strong focus on sustainability and have eliminating single use plastics from their bar operations.
Their creativity, combined with years of industry knowledge, and a reputation for reliability and discretion have led to them working with leading luxury events planners, PR companies, corporate organisations, and discerning private clients.
Examples of The Cocktail Service’s work include supplying their award-winning cocktail bartenders to work at The Shard in London, to running large scale festival bars at Highest Point and Warm Up festival.
As well as working at the most exclusive events, TCS run brand awareness campaigns for leading brands including Stoli Vodka and Bowmore Whisky.
2021 saw the launch of their sister company: cocktail delivery brand The Cocktail Society.
Offering bottled cocktails, cocktail gifts, and a subscription box service, The Society allows you to create bar quality cocktails from the comfort of your own home.
Co-founder and director Nick Ford said, “We’re delighted to return to Blackfriars for this latest edition of the Scriptorium.”
“The best events take guests on a journey, allowing them the chance to experience something new and totally unique. It’s been a pleasure collaborating on this exclusive event which will transport Scriptorium participants guests back to the thirteenth century.”
