New Year, New Skills.

January 4, 2018

January is upon us and I can hear a collective sigh from all the hard working staff in the service industry as silly season is over for another year, and you manage to bank a little extra sleep. You get a little more time to think about yourself, usually about your health, but how about your wealth? How about your progression in life? Where do you see yourself this time next year? Could you progress yourself with a bit of extra training? After all when has having an extra certificate or that bit of knowledge ever held anyone back? Here at ... read more

Mixology were absolutely terrific. No fuss, highly professional.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say a massive thank you for Saturday; Tim was an absolute superstar and all the girls said that it was brilliant fun and really interesting. I’m pretty sure that your master-class will be booked again for any hen weekends that they’ll be organising in the future.

All the guys, led by Tim, were truly great. Good attitude, good service. Very happy indeed that you were recommended to me – caterers, your team and the band all led to a superb night and lots of people commented on the brilliant cocktails. You’re onto a winner

Thank you so much for making my 40th such an amazing night. The bar was fantastic and a real talking point. Myles was really helpful with the planning giving lots of advice, and was very flexible. On the night he was brilliant, professional and so tolerant! The set up and clean up was really quick and efficient and I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about doing something similar for a party.

Myles was our virtual cocktail masterclass teacher and he was great fun, he made the class interactive and sociable. He was happy to answer as many random questions as we could throw at him!

Would highly recommend.

Thank you Zoe & Myles

You were a HUGE success at our 40th birthday party and certainly added to the enjoyment. The cocktails were delicious and expertly made and Myles, Symeon and G were great to have around. Prior to the party Myles and Zoe were very helpful with cocktail suggestions and the added extras such as glass hire. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to make their party have the wow factor.

Having a cocktail barman at my 40th birthday party was really fantastic. It made it a really special evening and everyone loved it – even those people I thought would drink beer. Our barman, Charlie, was charismatic but very professional and, of course, made excellent cocktails. In fact all the staff at Mixology were great to deal with. I would definitely recommend them.

Dear Myles,

I am writing to extend my thanks and gratitude for the Mixology course delivered to Andrea. His feedback is very good; he had a fantastic experience made possible by your support. He learnt a lot and he is very thankful to the company and yourself for that.

It is a great opportunity to thank you once again for the quality of both, the knowledge and the training delivery that you have offered to our colleague,

Thank you again and I look forward to continuing to be in touch.

Sincerely,

Michel SNP – Training Manager

Mixology Group leans on Meiko to support cocktail classes

Mixology Group has chosen to work with Meiko glasswashers to cater for its increasingly popular drinks and bar training courses.

The Group runs approved and accredited courses in Brighton and also travels to provide training in cocktails and mixology, molecular mixology and bartenders certification.

Myles Cunliffe, director, Mixology Group, said that the growing trend for cocktails is reaching a new high, with more attention being paid to the provenance of drinks and the education of service staff.

“I work with the best and I want to show my students the best as well. In my opinion Meiko is the ‘best’ when it comes to glasswashing machinery,” he explains.
