How Keg Hire Works in London

Our keg hire service is straightforward: we deliver to your London venue, provide setup guidance, and collect everything after your event.

Delivery

We agree a delivery window that works for your venue and event schedule. Our team will coordinate access times, parking, and loading requirements. Delivery typically happens 2-4 hours before your event starts, giving you time to get everything set up.

Setup

We provide clear setup instructions and guidance on connecting the keg, coupler, gas, and lines. Our team can offer advice on power requirements, line length, and optimal positioning. If you need hands-on help, we can arrange setup assistance for an additional fee.

Collection

After your event, we collect all equipment. Collection is typically arranged for the day after your event, or we can work around your schedule. Simply let us know when you're ready, and we'll handle the rest. Any unused keg that is still sealed at collection is refunded in full. Once a keg has been tapped, it cannot be refunded.

Need More Than Kegs?

For complete bar solutions with professional staff, consider our mobile bar hire service, which can include keg hire as part of the package.

What You Need at the Venue

To ensure smooth setup and operation, here's what your London venue needs to have ready.

Power Requirements

You'll need a standard 13A power socket (UK 3-pin plug) for the cooling unit. The socket should be within 5-10 metres of where the keg will be positioned. If you're setting up outdoors, ensure the socket is weatherproof or use an appropriate extension lead.

Space Requirements

The keg and dispense equipment need a level surface. For a standard 30L or 50L keg setup, allow approximately 1m x 1m of floor space. If you're using a cooler or chiller, add an extra 0.5m for ventilation. Consider whether the setup will be indoors or outdoors β€” we can advise on weather protection if needed.

Line Length

Beer lines typically come in 3m, 5m, or 10m lengths. We'll confirm the right length based on your layout β€” measure the distance from where the keg will sit to where the tap will be positioned. Longer lines may require additional cooling or insulation.

Access for Delivery

Ensure there's clear access for our delivery vehicle. We'll need to bring the keg, gas cylinder, cooler (if included), and dispense equipment. If there are stairs, narrow doorways, or restricted access, let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

Quick Checklist
  • 13A power socket nearby
  • Level surface (1m x 1m minimum)
  • Clear access for delivery
  • Indoor or outdoor location confirmed
  • Line length measured (if known)

Choosing the Right Keg Size

Selecting the right keg size depends on your guest count, event duration, and whether beer is the main drink option.

Keg Size Approx Pints Guest Count Guidance
30L β‰ˆ 52 pints 30-50 guests (if beer is one of several drink options)
50L β‰ˆ 88 pints 50-100 guests (if beer is one of several drink options)

Factors to Consider

  • Event duration: Longer events (4+ hours) may need larger kegs or multiple kegs
  • Drink options: If beer is the main drink, plan for higher consumption
  • Guest preferences: Consider your crowd β€” some events have higher beer consumption
  • Backup plan: For larger events, consider ordering an extra keg as backup

If you're unsure, tell us your guest numbers, event duration, and other drink options when you book. We'll recommend the right size and can arrange additional kegs if needed.

Popular Combinations
  • Small event (30-50 guests):
    1 x 30L keg
  • Medium event (50-100 guests):
    1 x 50L keg or 2 x 30L kegs
  • Large event (100+ guests):
    2 x 50L kegs or mix of sizes
  • Very large event (200+ guests):
    Multiple 50L kegs + backup

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about keg hire in London

We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance, especially for popular dates like weekends and bank holidays. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice bookings if we have availability. Contact us with your event date and we'll confirm availability.

If you're concerned about running out, we recommend ordering a backup keg or larger size. For very large events, we can arrange multiple kegs. If a keg does run out during your event, we can discuss emergency delivery options, though this depends on timing and availability.

Our standard keg hire is self-serve β€” we provide clear instructions and the system is straightforward to operate. If you prefer professional service, we can arrange trained bar staff for an additional fee. This is ideal if you want someone managing the bar without the full mobile bar package.

Once tapped, beer typically stays fresh for 24-72 hours if kept properly chilled. Our hire includes cooling equipment to maintain serving temperature. For best quality, plan to finish the keg within this timeframe. If your event spans multiple days, we can discuss options for keeping beer fresh.

We match the coupler type and gas to the specific beer brand. Different beers require different couplers (e.g., G Type for Guinness, S Type for many lagers) and gas mixes (CO2 for lagers, mixed gas for stouts). When you book, tell us which beer you want and we'll provide the correct setup.

Yes, kegs can be set up outdoors. You'll need weather protection for the equipment, especially the cooling unit and electrical connections. Ensure the power socket is weatherproof or use appropriate extension leads. We can advise on positioning and protection when you book. Keep in mind that very hot weather may require additional cooling.

Delivery includes bringing the keg, coupler, gas cylinder, cooling equipment (if included), dispense lines, and tap to your London venue. We'll position everything, provide setup instructions, and can offer guidance on connecting the system. If you need hands-on setup assistance, this can be arranged for an additional fee.

We provide clear troubleshooting guidance with your hire. Common issues (like flat beer or pressure problems) are usually simple to fix with the instructions provided. If you encounter a problem you can't resolve, call us on 0800 861 1471 and we'll provide phone support. For urgent issues, we can discuss emergency assistance options.

Yes. Any unused keg that is still sealed at collection is refunded in full. Once a keg has been tapped, it cannot be refunded.
