Supplying professional event organisers, independent caterers, and venue managers across Greater Manchester requires reliable commercial equipment. Expo Hire delivers Bury catering hire directly to corporate spaces, historic town halls, and private estates throughout the region. You can check live stock levels and secure your order entirely online without making a single phone call. We stock everything from heavy-duty cooking appliances to dining furniture, operating from our network of 11 regional depots across England and Wales. Our client list includes the BBC, ITV, HSBC, and Cambridge University, reflecting our capacity to handle large-scale commercial requirements.
Professional Catering Equipment for Large Events
Professional Bury catering hire supports high-volume food service at weddings, corporate dinners, and community festivals. Event planners and hospitality managers rely on our commercial-grade cooking equipment to run temporary kitchens in marquees or unequipped venues. You will find heavy-duty ovens, six-burner ranges, and specialist appliances ready for immediate dispatch. Keeping food at safe temperatures during service demands proper warming equipment. We stock hot cupboards and bain-maries that hold large quantities of prepared dishes before plating.
Storing raw ingredients and chilled beverages requires dependable refrigeration. Our fridge hire and freezer units come in multiple capacities to suit different venue sizes, from under-counter models to tall double-door units. Drink service stations benefit from our beverage equipment, featuring high-capacity hot water urns and pump-action dispensers. Every item arrives clean, tested, and ready for immediate use. Organising a large banquet means you will need reliable catering equipment hire to support your culinary team. Our delivery drivers regularly drop off equipment at venues in Ramsbottom, Radcliffe, Prestwich, and central Bury.
Dining Furniture and Table Settings
Seating guests at formal banquets or corporate galas starts with the right foundation. Our banqueting tables come in circular and trestle formats to maximize floor space. A standard 6ft round table seats ten guests comfortably. You can pair these with our EventPro® banqueting chairs, featuring designs created specifically for the hire trade rather than retail markets. These chairs stack securely for transport and feature durable frames to withstand heavy commercial use.
Presenting a multi-course meal requires matching tableware. We stock commercial crockery in classic white finishes, providing a neutral background for your food presentation. You can complete the place setting with our stainless steel cutlery collections, featuring traditional and contemporary patterns. Serving drinks to hundreds of guests means you need substantial quantities of matching glasses. We stock wine glasses, champagne flutes, and beer glasses in bulk quantities. Our glassware hire service covers all your beverage service needs.
Washing thousands of plates and glasses after a long shift costs time and money. Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service on all tableware. You pack the unwashed items back into their delivery crates, and our depot team handles the cleaning. We also include a free minor damage waiver on every order, covering accidental breakages of glasses or plates without charging replacement fees. No other UK hire company offers this waiver for free. Dressing your tables adds the final layer to the dining setup. We stock tablecloths and matching napkins in multiple colours.
Casual Seating and Bar Areas
Evening receptions and networking events often require standing areas rather than formal seating. Our bar furniture encourages guests to mingle and move around the room. You can position poseur tables near the drinks station and add bar stools for casual resting points. Bartenders need proper tools to serve cocktails and mixed drinks during busy periods. We supply bar accessories including ice buckets, spirit measures, and cocktail shakers.
Evening parties and modern corporate events benefit from illuminated focal points. Our LED furniture glows in multiple colours, creating distinct zones within dark function rooms. Festival operators and university event teams often select bean bags to build relaxed chill-out areas. These casual seating options work well in temporary structures or outdoor terraces.
Outdoor Event Equipment
Organising events outside brings specific logistical challenges. You need weather-resistant outdoor furniture for garden parties and terrace receptions. We stock aluminium bistro sets, heavy-duty picnic benches, and rattan-style seating. Creating sheltered areas protects guests from sudden rain showers or intense sun. Our commercial gazebo hire provides temporary cover for pop-up bars, registration desks, or food stalls.
Dropping temperatures in the evening can force guests indoors prematurely. Our inventory includes patio heaters to keep outdoor spaces comfortable after sunset. We stock the premium Bromic patio heater range, featuring directional heat control and electronic ignition. These units run on standard gas cylinders and provide targeted warmth for seated guests or standing crowds.
Exhibition and Conference Supplies
Trade shows and corporate exhibitions require specific infrastructure to look professional. Vendors use our exhibition furniture to display their products and engage with attendees. Secure display cabinets protect valuable items while keeping them visible under integrated lighting. Managing queues and directing foot traffic around large halls requires physical boundaries. Our barrier hire includes retractable belt stanchions and traditional rope barriers, helping you control access to VIP areas or registration desks.
