Source professional bar hire equipment for your next event. We supply bottle coolers, glasswashers, and ice machines with live pricing and no deposit.
Running a commercial drink service requires specific hardware. Event organisers, mobile operators, and venue managers rely on professional bar hire to manage peak demand. You need dependable machines to chill drinks, wash glasses, and produce ice. Your operations demand equipment that handles high volumes without failing. We supply commercial-grade items to corporate functions, festivals, and private parties across England and Wales.
Fast service prevents queues and maintains steady drink sales. Bottle coolers keep drinks chilled and ready for immediate pouring. Single and double-door models match different capacity requirements. A typical double-door cooler holds around 200 standard 330ml bottles, maintaining temperatures between 2°C and 10°C. Quick recovery compressors maintain cold temperatures during busy periods. All units run on a standard 13A power supply. Speed rails position spirits and mixers within reach for your bartenders. Combine these with an ice bin to create a practical cocktail preparation station. Ice bins integrate into most counters, keeping cubes cold and preventing rapid melt. For events serving beer, a draught dispenser pours kegged lagers or ciders. These units chill the liquid as it pours. A single-tap dispenser connects to a 30L or 50L keg and needs a standard 13A socket. Venues with seating areas benefit from matching chair hire to complete the layout.
Cleanliness and a continuous supply of key ingredients support steady service. Glasswashers clean and sanitise your glassware hire stock. Common under-counter models measure 600mm wide. Operators must provide a 13A mains connection, a mains water feed, and a waste outlet. These machines complete a wash cycle in minutes, allowing rapid glass turnaround. This reduces the total amount of glasses you need to hold during peak times. Ice machines provide cubes for high-volume events. Machines produce between 20kg and 50kg of ice per 24 hours, storing 5kg to 15kg internally. You connect ice machines directly to a mains water supply and drainage. For locations without direct water access, insulated ice buckets and larger bins provide bulk storage.
For setups focusing on mixed drinks, specialist tools speed up the preparation process. Cocktail shakers, strainers, and jiggers equip bartenders for precise measurements. Commercial blenders prepare smoothies, milkshakes, and frozen cocktails. Their heavy-duty motors handle crushed ice and frozen fruit, drawing power via a standard 13A plug.
