Crockery Hire Guide: How Many Pieces Do You Need Per Guest?

Chair Hire

We hire chairs for every event type — conference rooms, wedding receptions, exhibitions, outdoor gatherings and formal dinners. Browse the range online with live stock and pricing.

Our conference chairs are stackable and suited to long days. Banqueting chairs come in a range of colours with matching seat pads. For weddings and formal dinners, our Chiavari chairs are the most popular choice — available with matching chair covers.

Folding chairs are available for outdoor events where space is tight. Eames-style chairs suit exhibitions and brand events. All chairs are delivered clean and collected after your event.

Table Hire

Expo Hire stocks tables for events of every size and style — banquets, weddings, conferences, exhibitions and outdoor gatherings. Browse online with live stock and pricing. We also hire tablecloths to match.

Our tables come in three heights:

Poseur tables: Tall poseur tables are for standing at, popular for networking events, bars and cocktail receptions. Pair with bar stools for a seated option.

Banqueting tables: Also called trestle tables, these banqueting tables are our most-hired option. Standard seated height, available round or rectangular in multiple sizes. The right choice for formal dinners, weddings and conferences.

Coffee tables: Low tables for lounge areas and breakout spaces. Suit informal receptions and outdoor settings.

Oven Hire

An oven is a must-have for cooking large batches or baking goods at your event. We offer both Electric Ovens and LPG ovens at Expo Hire. Electric ovens are great for indoor events in commercial kitchen settings, whereas LPG ovens are best suited for outdoor events where you don't want a tripping hazard with extension wires and generators. Our ovens are reliable and easy to use. And unlike other catering companies, we frequently replace our ovens to ensure you receive the best quality every time.

Patio Heater Hire

Keeping outdoor spaces warm can be a challenge in the Great British climate. Our patio heaters for hire are a great solution to ensuring that your guests can sit in comfort outdoors whether it's a lazy summer evening, a brisk autumnal day or a fresh spring afternoon.

We have two kinds of outdoor heater hire available; gas and electric. Electric patio heaters are great for focused heat on specific enclosed areas where there is a good power connection, while gas patio heaters are better for open areas which require heat to be radiated throughout the space.

We've sourced the best LPG patio heaters for hire to ensure that they are easy to start, reliable and fuel efficient. We also supply 13kg LPG bottles so that you don't need to worry about getting hold of fuel.

For those with huge spaces to heat, our space heaters for hire are perfect. These are a more industrial version of a patio heater, and are capable of heating large spaces for long periods of time.
