Event Shisha Hire
Is Shisha Harmful?
Technically speaking yes, although only negligibly. The water takes away approximately 90% of the harmful chemicals (excluding THC), and so a pipe contains merely 0.5% nicotine and 0% tar. Also, if its not inhaled, there is no danger of lung cancer. We have herbal and tobacco molasses and tobacco is only supplied by request. If you use our electronic shisha, then no.
How long should each bowl last?
The average bowl with two to three smokers should last anywhere from 45 min. to 1 hr. Make sure you keep it lit by having red hot charcoal burning at all times. If you are using our electronic shisha then it will last for 5 hours.
I don’t have a credit card, can I still order from your site?
We offer other payment options such as cash, cheque or money order by mail or on the night of the event for your convenience.
Do you hire outside of the United Kingdom?
We have in the past hired shisha pipes in Spain, however we request that you contact us with your exact hire requirements and we will reply to you with a quote and instructions on how to make payment.
How many pipes do you hire?
As many as you want, we recommend 5 shisha pipes per assistant, so if you require 10 pipes then this will be with 2 assistants to prepare and serve the pipes.
What is the amount of time you stay at the event?
This is up to you, we normally stay for 5 hours but have also been to events lasting 10 hours a day for 3 days like Knebworth.
Can you supply the marquee as well as the cushions?
Yes we can, we use a sub contractor for the supply and can organise this if required.
How well dressed is the assistant?
The assistant is well dressed and if requested can also wear the arabic style dress for serving.
Can we have the hire inside?
If it’s the original shisha and a private hire and everyone is happy for this then yes, otherwise the law states that 3 sides of a building or tent must be open at all times. If its the electronic shisha, then yes.
Do you have insurance?
Unfortunately there is no company that will insure for hire / smoking shisha pipes. We have risk assessments, method statements and competence statement which is adequate. Insurance for the electronic shisha pipes.
What type of shisha coals do you use?
Depending on our stock, we use natural coconut and lemon tree coals. We also have quick light coals should you wish to use them. Quick light coals are easier to start. Coconut and lemon trea coals take longer to start but do not have gunpowder in them and burn longer.
How long does a shisha tobacco bowl last?
Anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. You should remove the coals from the bowl when you are not smoking the shisha.
My shisha flavour is harsh. What can be causing this?
There are several things that may be happening. Ensure that your coals have been prepared properly. Try removing several coals and try with one piece of coal. Try to move the coal around on the tobacco bowl every 10 minutes to ensure that the coal is heating a new segment of shisha tobacco inside the bowl. If this does not solve the harsh shisha taste, you may need to replace your shisha tobacco bowl.

What exactly is a Fruit Shisha?
It is a standard shisha pipe with a carved fruit head (melon, pineapple, apple, etc.) which contains a tobacco filling. A fruit head helps to make an impression on the guests as well as increases the quality of the smoke as it does not heat up as much as a clay tobacco bowl and the tobacco mixture mixes with the fruit juice which provides smooth and fragrant smoke clouds.

It is a shisha pipe which contains a premium tobacco mix in the bowl and delicious cocktail in the vase which resembles the taste of many popular cocktails.
