Whiskey Glass Hire London
Classic 285ml whiskey tumblers, professionally cleaned and polished. 3-day hire with delivery and collection across London.
About Our Whiskey Glasses
Our 285ml whiskey tumblers are a timeless choice for any event where spirits are being served. Each glass features a wide, sturdy base and a thick rim designed for comfortable sipping — whether your guests prefer their whisky neat, on the rocks or as part of a cocktail. Whiskey glass hire in London gives you access to quality glassware without the cost of buying outright.
Every glass is delivered clean, polished and packed securely in stackable crates. After your event, simply rinse the glasses and repack them for collection. No need to spend hours washing up.
Perfect for Cocktail Bars, Corporate Events and Private Parties
Whiskey glasses are versatile and suit a wide range of drinks beyond whisky. Our clients regularly hire them for:
- Weddings — evening bar service, cocktail stations and after-dinner drinks.
- Corporate events — whisky tastings, networking receptions and awards dinners.
- Private parties — birthdays, house parties and themed cocktail evenings.
- Pop-up bars and festivals — a professional alternative to plastic cups.
These tumblers also work well for old fashioneds, negronis, amaretto sours and other short cocktails. Hiring matching glassware creates a polished, cohesive look that disposable alternatives simply cannot match.
How Many Whiskey Glasses Do You Need?
Getting the right quantity depends on how spirits will be served at your event:
- Cocktail bar or drinks reception — allow 1.5 to 2 glasses per guest.
- After-dinner whisky service — 1 glass per guest is usually sufficient.
- Full evening bar service — allow 2 to 3 per guest to cover replacements and different drinks.
For a party with 80 guests and a cocktail bar running all evening, we would typically recommend 160 to 200 glasses. Not sure about your numbers? Get in touch and we will help you work out exactly what you need.
Delivery and Collection Across London
We deliver to venues across all London boroughs, from Central London to the surrounding areas. Glassware arrives in protective crates on the morning of your event or the day before, depending on your preference. After the event, we collect everything from your venue at an agreed time.
All you need to do is rinse the glasses and place them back in the crates. It is that straightforward. Call us on 07359 034252 or request a quote online for delivery pricing to your venue.
