Doc Maxwell - Our Story
"...a family run business based in Hampshire..."
​
Bringing elegance, sophistication and innovation to mobile hospitality.
Doc Maxwell will be rollin’ into a town near you very soon – but how did he get here?
​
The Doc Maxwell story started when founder, Jonathan ‘Maxwell’ Phillips, started his journey in hospitality back in 1983. Over a period of eleven years he became Head Waiter and a Catering and Bars Supervisor whilst working in concert halls, theatres, bars, restaurants and function rooms.
​
For the next 30 years he focused on business & marketing for illustrious companies such as IBM, Ordnance Survey and the BBC – before setting up a number of companies and brands across a number of sectors.
​
Jonathan’s father worked in hospitality for most of his life. In the 1970’s he would book acts such as David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars; and whilst working for Mecca – was responsible for launching the UK’s first under 18s discos based in a nightclub.
​
Doc Maxwell is a family run business based in Hampshire – but travel all over the UK to bring magic to your event.
Our Approach
“…There are a lot of fabulous mobile bars around. We didn’t just want to just be ‘another’ bar – we wanted to bring a sense of theatre.
​
A sophistication and elegance giving a feel of tradition and heritage – combining a feel of victorian curiosities with a travelling medicine show. As well as being a full-service alcoholic bar we have a state of the art coffee bar serving our own gorgeous coffee roast…”
