Delivery and collection
We deliver and collect at no extra charge on orders over ISK 10,000 in Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður, Garðabær, Mosfellsbær, Seltjarnarnes and Álftanes. You can also pick up and return things yourself at Kríuhólar 2, but please contact us first.
How much do I need?
A good rule of thumb is 2–3 glasses per guest and one bartender for every 35 guests. The party calculator works out the amounts for your party, and the article on drinks for a party of 50 or 100 has worked examples. Want to see a whole bar priced up? See bar hire in one order.
