Other Information

We are looking for a draught product supplier that can also provide packaged products and the equipment and support needed to facilitate the sale of these products. We are looking for state of the art dispense solutions and a wide selection of products that can be provided in bulk, on a regular basis. We also need online, user-friendly ordering and reporting facilities and a designated account manager that can help with any ad-hoc requests. The Venue has a cellar and cold room for the supply needs of two bars within the main hall. We are seeking innovative solutions from our supplier to enable service on the balcony in the absence of a dedicated cold room. This contract opportunity was previously advertised as 2324-0152 – Draught beers and cider supply to Islington Assembly Hall. That process was abandoned, and the council has refined the specification to maximise potential benefits from the balcony bar. The current setup in the balcony area involves a free-standing unit that utilises 20-litre Brewlock kegs however, we are open to creative ideas and approaches to how this space could best be utilised.
