How Keg Hire Works in Manchester
Our keg hire service is straightforward: we deliver to your Manchester 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 Manchester 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 — 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 — 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 | ≈ 52 pints | 30-50 guests (if beer is one of several drink options) |
| 50L | ≈ 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 — 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
