We bring the bar, the taps and the cold beer — no venue pumps required. Just plug us in and we'll handle the rest, from a marquee wedding to a back-garden party.

Most venues have a bar and not much else. We supply the parts that actually pour the pint — chilled, pressurised and ready to go.
30 litre (52 pint) and 50 litre (88 pint) kegs, so we can match the size of the party — from an engagement drinks to a full wedding.
Our own dispense taps travel with us, so a venue with "a bar but no pumps" is exactly what we're built for.
A state-of-the-art flash cooler keeps every pour properly cold, even at 100+ guests, without a fridge full of pre-chilled kegs.
One standard plug socket is all we need. We arrive early, set up, run the bar, and clear it all away at the end of the night.
Tell us the vibe and the numbers, and we'll put together a couple of beers — plus anything else you fancy on the night.
Crisp, easy-drinking and always the first keg to go. Good for a broad crowd on a warm afternoon.
e.g. Cold Town LagerFor the guests who'll ask what's on tap before they ask where the toilets are. Rotating local picks.
e.g. a hoppy Scottish IPAA reliable third option — sharp, fruity, and always popular once the sun's out or the dancefloor's warmed up.
e.g. a Scottish craft ciderFizz on arrival or a simple cocktail menu to go alongside the beer — happy to talk through what works for your day.
e.g. a welcome fizz & one signature cocktailThese are the usual shapes a booking takes — tell us your numbers and we'll put a proper price on it.
The classic ask — a couple of well-chosen beers on tap for the whole event.
Beer, cider and a fizz option, sized properly for your guest count.
Everything in Full Bar, plus a short cocktail list and extra taps for bigger numbers.
Kegs come in 30 litre (52 pint) or 50 litre (88 pint), priced individually depending on the beer — so the numbers below are a starting shape, not a fixed price.

The Thistle Tap is a mobile bar built for one job: turning up to your event with everything a proper bar needs, and none of the faff of a venue trying to sort it themselves.
No pumps at the venue? No problem — that's exactly what we bring. Just point us to a plug socket and we'll take it from there, so you can get back to enjoying the day.
Send over your date, venue and rough guest numbers, and we'll come back with beer options and an actual price.
