Event Furniture for Any Scale

The choice of furniture shapes an event's layout and guest experience. Expo Hire supplies robust tables and chairs suitable for both formal dining and casual setups.

Tables

  • Banqueting Tables: Our 6ft circular banqueting tables seat 10 guests. They suit formal dinners and encourage conversation. We also stock rectangular trestle tables in various lengths for flexible dining or display arrangements.
  • Poseur Tables: High poseur tables work well for standing receptions and bar areas.
  • Speciality Tables: Specific event requirements might call for smaller café tables or half-moon tables to maximise space.

Chairs

Comfort and style define our chair selection. Chiavari chairs remain a popular choice for weddings and gala dinners, available in several finishes. For conference or training setups, padded conference chairs offer comfort for longer sessions. Folding chairs provide a practical solution for setups requiring quick deployment and efficient storage.

Tableware and Linen Collections

High-quality tableware reflects positively on any event. Expo Hire provides durable crockery, polished cutlery, and a range of glassware options.

Crockery

We stock a range of white porcelain crockery. This includes dinner plates, side plates, dessert bowls, and cups and saucers. Its neutral design suits any event theme or colour scheme.

Cutlery

Our cutlery collections include polished stainless steel for main courses, starters, and desserts. We also supply tea and coffee spoons alongside serving utensils.

Glassware

For drinks service, choose from wine glasses, champagne flutes, tumblers, and highball glasses. We also supply speciality glassware for cocktails or spirits.

Linen

Expo Hire provides tablecloths and napkins in various colours and sizes. Our linen arrives cleaned and pressed, ready for immediate use. Select from standard white, black, or specific accent colours to complement your event design.

Commercial Catering Equipment

Beyond front-of-house elements, efficient kitchen operations are crucial. Expo Hire supplies professional catering equipment designed for reliability and performance.

  • Ovens and Hobs: We offer commercial ovens, convection ovens, and induction hobs for on-site food preparation.
  • Refrigeration: Upright fridges, freezers, and display refrigeration units maintain food safety and presentation.
  • Hot Holding and Servery: Keep food at correct temperatures with bain-maries, hot cupboards, and chafing dishes. We also provide serving utensils and carving stations.
  • Dishwashing: Our commercial dishwashers ensure rapid turnaround of crockery and cutlery, essential for high-volume events.
  • Beverage Service: Coffee machines, water boilers, and juice dispensers support guest refreshments.
