Our experience of the Drinky Tin was absolutely fantastic. From the moment they arrived they brought great vibes and went above and beyond; even helping us to set up the rest of the party! The van was amazing but the drinky tin team completely made the the day. They were professional but great fun, all our guests absolutely loved them and we will certainly be getting them along to our next event soon!

We cannot say enough great things about Chris & Andy - they stepped in at very short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier - turns out they couldn't have been more perfect for our event! If we could give them 6 stars we would! Do not hesitate to book these guys - absolute professionals and super nice chaps too - a great addition to any event you may be hosting!

I can’t recommend Chris and the team enough! We hired them for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. The bar looked fantastic, the drinks were delicious and they were an awesome positive presence to have around on the day. Loads of guests commented how great and friendly Chris and Andy were. So easy to deal with from initial enquiry onwards, super accommodating and flexible and clearly passionate about providing a great experience. Thank you!
