🏁 Trading the Boardroom for the Bar (and the Track!)
Who says networking has to happen over a naff cup of coffee? ☕️ 🚫
We took a different approach at our Industry vs. Industry Race Day at @midland_karting
Between the high-octane overtakes and the 3-hour endurance shifts, the real magic happened trackside.
There’s nothing quite like a bit of healthy competition to break the ice and build real connections across the Midlands.
🍸 From Helmets to Highballs
Once the engines cooled down and the trophies were handed out, we traded the track for the cocktail bar. Because let’s face it.. after 180 minutes of racing in the sun, a cold drink and some post-race debriefs were well-earned!
Huge thanks to all 10 teams for showing up with such great energy, and to Midland Karting for being the perfect hosts. Great racing, better company, and even better cocktails.
Cheers to everyone who made it such a sun-soaked success! 🥂☀️

Hey👋🏻 I’m Hannah, owner of Tipples & Tonics! (AKA the whole “we” behind the business 😂)
Tipples & Tonics is a mobile bar company, specialising in cocktails & mocktails, based in Lichfield Staffordshire📍 (But able to travel around the UK)
The business started in November 2018 and hasn’t stopped since!🍸
Since starting almost 7 1/2 years ago the services on offer has increased considerably! What first started as making cocktails on kitchen counters has turned into a multi mobile bar, masterclass, delivery & hire business! Meaning that Tipples & Tonics is able to cater for all different types of events & celebrations✨
As a 1 man band this means you communicate with myself during the entire process! I am always happy to offer a custom quote to fit your event and try to make it as personal to you as possible!🍸
If you are starting to plan a big celebration, wedding or event and would like to include freshly made cocktails or mocktails, please get in contact or have a look on the website for more information✨
Or, if you just fancy a night in with cocktails delivered to your door.. Tipples & Tonics has got you covered for that too!🍸
