What it is A full dry-hire catalogue covering everything you need to run a professional bar at your venue, without buying or storing kit yourself. Who it's for Event planners, dry-hire venues, catering companies, in-house corporate event teams, marquee suppliers and one-off private hosts who need pro kit for a single night. When you need it Pop-up bars, summer parties, weddings in dry-hire venues, festival bars, brand activations, photoshoots and any setup where the venue can't supply the kit you need. Why it matters Renting from event-grade suppliers is dramatically cheaper than buying, and you skip the cleaning, breakage replacement, storage, insurance and PAT testing. We hand you working kit and take it away again. That's the deal. The cost of getting this wrong ## What you find out the night the kit arrives broken. The dry-hire market is full of unaudited, unlit, unwashed kit being moved in white vans by people who didn't pour a drink last week. We've taken over events at 5pm because the original supplier delivered a fridge that didn't cool and ten glasses with lipstick still on the rim. Quality control isn't optional. ### What happens if you ignore it - Fridges that don't cool below 12°C, warm beer for 200 guests. - Glassware turning up cracked, chipped, or unwashed. - No PAT-testing certificates, venues refuse the kit and you've nothing to serve in. - Late delivery slots that miss your setup window. - Collections that don't happen on Monday morning, your venue charges you storage. ### Common mistakes we fix - Booking ice machines instead of pre-bagged ice for events under 12 hours. - Hiring stemless tumblers for wedding receptions, they look cheap on the table. - Forgetting waste bins, drip trays and bar mats. - Underestimating glassware by 30%+, every guest uses 2–3 glasses across the night. - Not asking for a backup fridge for outdoor or marquee setups. Our process ## A repeatable system, refined over 1,600 events. 1. 01 Step 1 ### List & quote Send us your guest count and format, we send a recommended kit list with itemised pricing. 2. 02 Step 2 ### Site check For larger setups we'll do a site visit or video call to confirm power, access and footprint. 3. 03 Step 3 ### Prep & audit Kit is washed, polished, PAT-tested and counted into crates labelled per booking 48 hours pre-event. 4. 04 Step 4 ### Delivery & build Driver delivers to your timing window, can build the bar in-situ on request, and walks the venue contact through it. 5. 05 Step 5 ### Collection & clean Collection booked into your venue's slot, kit returned, audited, washed and ready for the next event. What you actually get ## Concrete outcomes, not promises. ### Audited every booking Every item is washed, polished, PAT-tested and counted before it leaves our warehouse. No surprises on site. ### Replacement guarantee If anything fails or arrives below standard, we replace within 90 minutes inside the North West. ### Premium glassware Schott Zwiesel and Spiegelau ranges available alongside event-grade options. The right glass for the right serve. ### Compatible kit Our fridges, dispense towers and ice wells are sized and powered to work together, no last-minute compatibility surprises. ### Flexible build options Hire bare kit and build yourself, or pay for build-on-site by our crew. Your choice. ### Transparent pricing Per-item rates, no hidden delivery fees, no per-mile add-ons inside 40 miles of Liverpool. The detail ## Everything underneath the surface. We carry a curated catalogue, not the everything-and-anything model. Each category is sized, stocked and audited to the standard our own service bar uses. ### Bar units & structure Twelve mobile bar units, configurable from 1.2m service points to 12m island bars. - Illuminated LED bars (white, RGB, custom hex) - Mirrored Art Deco bars - Rustic timber bars - Copper-clad signature bars - Branded skin systems with bespoke fascia - Back-bar shelving, mirrored or industrial ### Refrigeration & ice Powered single, double and triple-door fridges; ice wells with drainage; mobile ice machines; pre-bagged premium ice for events under 12 hours; champagne buckets in copper and stainless steel. ### Glassware Coupes, martinis, Nick & Nora, rocks, hi-balls, slings, copas, snifters, flutes, champagne saucers, wine ranges across Burgundy, Bordeaux and universal.
