Seasonal fruit and herbs, small-batch bitters and organic juices reflect an attention to detail that translates into a better-tasting cocktail. Through our mobile bar services, you can taste the difference – and your guests will too.
Professional staffing
MAU is overseen by Maude Mphosi, a hands-on professional with experience across events and service-focused environments.
Every bartender and waitstaff member within our mobile bar services is carefully vetted, trained and selected for presence as much as skill.

MAU Classic
Alcohol-free bar hire, without compromise
MAU Classic offers non-alcoholic mobile bar services created for these moments, where drinks are treated with the same intent as any other menu.
Some occasions are hosted without alcohol by choice. A corporate morning where decisions are being made. A baby shower with parents, elders and children present. A wellness-led brand gathering where focus is part of the brief. In these settings, the bar still plays its role. Guests arrive, order a drink, come back for another. What changes is simply what’s being poured.
Best suited to:
Kids’ parties, baby showers, wellness events, family celebrations, mixed-age gatherings and executive daytime events
What’s included:
- A flavoured water station featuring citrus, berries and herbs, refreshed throughout the event
- Sparkling and still water served chilled
- Two MAU mocktails mixed to order, with clear flavour direction
- A considered selection of premium juices and sodas
- Fresh fruit and herb garnishes presented at the bar
- Glassware, ice and bar styling aligned with the wider setup
Optional additions
- A staffed coffee bar serving cappuccinos and lattes
- A hot service option offering hot chocolate or chai lattes and rooibos
