Water Jug Hire London
Classic 1-litre glass water jugs, professionally cleaned and ready for service. 3-day hire with delivery and collection across London.
About Our Water Jugs
Our 1-litre glass water jugs are a practical and elegant addition to any event table. Made from clear glass with a simple, timeless design, they look equally at home at a formal wedding breakfast and a relaxed garden party. Water jug hire in London from Murphy's Event Hire means you can provide proper table service without buying jugs that sit in a cupboard between events.
Every jug arrives clean, polished and packed in protective crates. After your event, rinse and repack — we take care of the rest.
Essential for Every Seated Event
Water on the table is expected at any event with seated guests. Our jugs make self-service easy and keep your catering team free to focus on food and other drinks. Clients hire our water jugs for:
- Wedding breakfasts — place 2 jugs per table so guests can help themselves throughout the meal.
- Corporate lunches and dinners — professional table presentation with matching glassware.
- Charity and gala events — proper table service that reflects the quality of the occasion.
- Summer parties — fill with water, cordial, lemonade or Pimm's for a self-serve drinks station.
Pair water jugs with our soft drink tumblers for a complete table water setup.
How Many Water Jugs Do You Need?
The number depends on your table layout and guest count:
- Round tables (8-10 guests) — 2 jugs per table, one at each end.
- Long banquet tables — 1 jug for every 4 to 6 guests along the table.
- Buffet or drinks station — 3 to 5 jugs on the station, replenished as needed.
For a wedding with 100 guests seated at round tables of 10, you would need around 20 jugs. We always recommend ordering a few extra to have spares for refilling. Contact us and we will help you work out the right quantity for your setup.
Delivery and Collection Across London
We deliver water jugs in secure crates to venues across every London borough. Because jugs are heavier than standard glassware, we pack them carefully to prevent damage in transit. Delivery is arranged for the morning of your event or the day before, and we collect at an agreed time afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many water jugs do I need for a seated dinner?
We recommend 1 water jug for every 4 to 6 guests at a seated dinner. For a table of 10, 2 jugs placed at each end ensures every guest can reach one easily. For 100 guests, 18 to 25 jugs is a good starting point.
Can the jugs be used for drinks other than water?
Yes. Our 1-litre glass jugs work well for water, squash, juice, lemonade, Pimm's and other mixed drinks. They are a popular choice for serving cocktails and non-alcoholic options at summer events.
Are the water jugs glass or plastic?
Our water jugs are made from clear glass. They have a classic, simple design that suits formal and informal events equally. Glass jugs look far more elegant on a table than plastic alternatives.
Do you deliver water jugs on their own?
Yes. You can hire water jugs on their own or as part of a larger glassware order. There is no minimum requirement to add other items. Most clients do combine jugs with tumblers and wine glasses.
What is the hire period?
Standard hire is for 3 days. We deliver before your event and collect afterwards. If you need the jugs for multiple days, let us know when you book and we can arrange an extended hire.
