Shisha hire, in short
Mr Flavour shisha hire is a fully staffed shisha bar brought to your venue: handblown or crystal pipes, a flavour menu built with you, natural coconut charcoal, and trained hosts who manage every coal, refill and mouth tip so no guest handles anything hot. We hold £10 million public liability and employers' liability insurance with Hiscox, and every package comes with the risk assessment and method statement your venue needs, and has no per pipe or per refill charges once booked.

Our pipes
Our shisha range, six setups
Mr Flavour began as an idea to sell shisha flavours. Any of these six can be combined on one bar. Every pipe comes with a flavour menu built with you; see our best shisha mixes for ideas.
Egyptian handcrafted pipesTraditional stainless steel and glass. The classic choice for gardens, terraces and marquee events.
German engineered crystal shishaA premium build in cut crystal, for clients who want the finest pipe on the night.
LED aquarium shishaAn illuminated base with live colour change, designed to work as a centrepiece.
Cocktail glass martini shishaBuilt into an oversized martini glass. Our most requested crossover with the mobile bar.
Electronic shishaCoal free and vapour based, so it can be approved for indoor venues where a flame cannot.
Fruit headsA fresh pineapple or fruit bowl as the head, made to order.
Hosted all evening
Shisha safety and hygiene
Our hosts stay with the setup all evening, so no guest ever handles a coal or a mouthpiece themselves.
Every pipe is kitchen grade stainless steel with silicone hoses, and every component is steam sterilised in the week before your date. We use 100 percent natural coconut charcoal, never self lighting coal, so no ignition chemicals are drawn through, and branded factory tobacco only. Every guest gets their own disposable mouth tip, with no limit on replacements.
Each head runs a heat management device: a closed metal chamber that sits over the bowl and holds the coal inside it, so the heat stays even and the coal stays out of reach. A tray on every pipe catches anything that falls, and a fire extinguisher and water bucket are kept in plain sight beside the setup.
We complete a health and safety check in your venue before service begins and coordinate directly with your venue or planner on ventilation and placement. Guests are seated while they smoke, the pipes are kept clear of the dance floor, and sessions of around fifteen minutes keep every pipe moving through the evening.

Planning
How many shisha pipes you need
We size every setup on your guest count, how long the shisha runs and whether it is a destination or something guests pass on the way to the bar.
Shisha hire planning guide
What
Our guide
Alongside a bar
1 pipe per 10 to 12 guests
Shisha as the main attraction
1 pipe per 6 to 8 guests
A 100 guest wedding
8 to 10 pipes with two hosts
Sessions
Around 15 minutes per guest, so every pipe keeps moving
Setup
One hour before service, packed down after
Lead time
6 to 8 weeks; 3 months for summer weekends and December
Indoors or outdoors
Can you have shisha indoors?
Yes, in most venues, using electronic shishas. UK smoke free law under the Health Act 2006 prohibits burning tobacco inside enclosed premises, which keeps charcoal pipes outside.

Tents and lounges
Shisha tent and lounge hire
Two tent sizes, open sided, for a charcoal shisha lounge in British weather.
Each build includes the structure, low lounge seating, side tables, lighting and the shisha service itself. Open sided structures keep charcoal pipes compliant while sheltering guests from British weather. At a corporate Christmas party at Elland Road in December 2022 we set up outdoors off the West Stand from 8pm, with six pipes for service from 10pm to 1am. A year later we were asked back: a 6 by 8 metre marquee with draping, lighting, heating and flooring, seven pipes and 220 to 250 people. We have also taken a tent to a student ball in Oxford.
We offer two tent sizes: a 6 by 4 metre tent furnished for 25 guests, and a 6 by 8 metre tent furnished for 50. We style the interior to your colour scheme rather than arriving with a plain white frame, and carry your event branding through onto the menu cards.

Where we work
Shisha hire nationwide
Mr Flavour covers the whole of the UK from our Manchester base. We work most often in Manchester and the North West, London and the South East, and Birmingham and the Midlands, with regular events in Cheshire, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol and Edinburgh, and destination events on request. Delivery within Greater Manchester is included; travel elsewhere is quoted for each event.
Shisha hire packages start from £750 for four pipes and trained hosts for three hours. The final figure depends on how many pipes you need, the length of service, which pipes you choose and any styled lounge or tent around the setup. Every quote is itemised, travel is quoted for each event, and we return most within 24 hours.
What comes in a shisha hire package?
Trained shisha hosts for the whole event, steam sterilised pipes, a custom flavour menu, natural coconut charcoal, unlimited charcoal changes and flavour refills, a disposable mouth tip for every guest, delivery, setup, an in venue safety check and pack down. Every booking is covered by our £10 million public liability and employers' liability insurance with Hiscox and comes with full RAMS.
Is shisha hire the same as hookah hire?
Shisha, hookah, nargila and waterpipe are names for the same thing: a pipe with a head, body, bowl and hose, where smoke or vapour is drawn through water. Shisha party hire, hookah hire and shisha lounge hire all describe the service on this page. More on its history in what is hookah.
Can you have shisha indoors at a UK venue?
Electronic shishas make it possible. UK smoke free law prohibits burning tobacco inside enclosed premises, so charcoal pipes are outdoor only. Electronic shishas produce vapour, nothing is burned, and most indoor venues approve them. We confirm the position with your venue in writing before the event.
How many shisha pipes do I need for 100 guests?
Typically 8 to 10 pipes with two hosts. As a guide, allow one pipe per 10 to 12 guests when shisha runs alongside a bar, and one per 6 to 8 guests when it is the main attraction.
Is shisha hire safe for a wedding or event?
Our hosts manage every coal, each head runs a heat management device that keeps the coal enclosed, trays catch anything that falls, and an extinguisher sits beside the setup. Guests are seated while they smoke and the pipes are kept clear of the dance floor.
What shisha flavours can we choose?
Over 100 flavour combinations, from classic and fruity to our signature blends. We build the menu with you before the date and match it to your event and your guests. The one our hosts are asked for most is pomegranate, kiwi and mint. For ideas, see our best shisha mixes, fifteen tested flavour combinations.
How do you keep the pipes hygienic?
Every component is steam sterilised in the week before your date, and every guest gets their own disposable mouth tip, replaced as often as they like.
What do you need from the venue?
A well ventilated outdoor space or an approved indoor location, stable ground, power for LED shishas and weather cover if outdoors. We coordinate directly with your venue or planner and supply the risk assessment and method statement in advance.
Do you offer shisha tents?
We offer a 6 by 4 metre tent furnished for 25 guests, or a 6 by 8 metre tent furnished for 50, each styled with lounge seating, tables, lighting and the shisha service itself.
Do you offer shisha hire in London and Manchester?
Both, and across the UK. In London we have supplied shisha at hotels including The Goring, and our head office is in Manchester, so the North West is home ground. We also work regularly in Birmingham and Cheshire, with destination events on request.
Can shisha be booked with a bar?
Shisha can be booked on its own or alongside our mobile bar hire, cocktail bar, champagne tower or cocktail fountain as one package, with one team on the night.
How far in advance should we book?
Six to eight weeks is comfortable for most dates. Summer weekends and December fill earliest, so for those we would say three months. We do take short notice bookings when the diary allows.
