Keg or Barrel Hire

Beer, Cider, Cocktails, Spirits and Wine Party Kegs

Based in North Buckinghamshire we deliver kegs and taps for parties, events, and celebrations throughout Bucks, Oxfordshire, Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, and beyond. Renting a cider or beer keg for events is usually more cost effective than buying individual bottles or cans, especially when catering for a large number of guests. This is also true for wine, cocktail or spirit kegs and is far more convenient with less clearing up at the end of the event and certainly less hassle than buying lots and lots of different bottles up front. We are sure you would like to get on and pick your drink, or drinks, of choice but there is some additional information below that you might find useful.

The Benefits of Hiring Kegs for a Party

There are five main reasons why hiring a party keg, or kegs, is so popular. These all apply to celebrations such as birthdays and weddings but also events such as village fetes, county shows, office parties and for large-scale events and festivals where many kegs may be required.

Cost-effectiveness
As mentioned above, individual bottles or cans of alcohol can be more expensive than purchasing a keg, especially when catering to a larger number of guests. Kegs often provide a higher volume of drink for a lower cost per serving, making them a cost-effective option for parties.
Freshness
To maintain the freshness and quality of the beer, beer kegs are sealed and pressurised ensuring that your guests can enjoy fresh beer throughout the duration of your party.
Convenience
Hiring party kegs eliminates the need for frequent restocking of individual bottles and cans and having to keep the chilled before use. Kegs also reduce the amount of waste or recycling of bottles and cans, making tidying up easier after after the event and removing the trips to the recycling centre in the following days.
Social Experience
At every party we see, where guests are allowed to pour themselves a drink from a hired keg, spirits are lifted as tapping a keg is novel and fun social activity. The keg taps tend to be a place where guests gather, encouraging interaction between guests. It is always fun to see the inner landlord in guests as they genuinely enjoy the experience of serving others.
Non-Beer Kegs
It isn’t just beer that comes in kegs. As well as beer and ale, we can provide kegs of still wine, sparkling wine, alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, spirits, and ciders. Hiring multiple kegs for a single event is commonplace, catering for the different tastes of the guests whilst maintaining the convenience.

Hiring a Keg for the First Time

If this is your first time hiring a bar, keg or cask we know it can feel like a daunting thing. A good place to start is our Bar Hire FAQ page where we answer the most common questions about our services but we are always happy to speak to you on the phone to explain how things work and discuss your exact requirements. However, here are a few keg-specific questions that crop up all the time.

Is a keg worth it for a party?

Yes, hiring a keg for a party is definitely worth it. Your guests will get premium fresh draft lager, bitter, or cider which not only tastes great but looks amazing too.

Customers can help themselves, which most people actually find enjoyable, there is no nipping off to the supermarket for a top up, and no worrying about finding ice to cool drinks down as it is already cooled (and a cooler will also be provided)

How many kegs of beer do I need for 100 guests?

As a rough guide, estimating 2-3 pints per person, 2 kegs should do for 100 guests.

Do you sell draught lager, bitter, and cider?

Simply, yes! We hire kegs of all of those things. We also provide kegs of wine and cocktails.

When you “rent a keg” you are actually buying the beverage and renting, or

If you have particular favourites, especially regional beverages, please let us know in advance so that we can arrange things so that they are as fresh as possible.

Do you deliver?

When you rent a keg, or kegs, from us then we deliver them to the location of your event, set up the equipment you need, and show you how to use it all. A day or so after your event we will come to collect the equipment.
