Cathays. It’s a busy place. Between the university, the civic buildings, and just general city life, there are always events happening. And for any event, be it a student society AGM, a university department conference, a community meeting, or a private birthday bash, you need the right setup. That’s where we come in. We deliver furniture, glassware, crockery, and catering equipment right here in Cathays, and we collect it all afterwards. Simple.

Let’s talk furniture. If you’re having a sit-down meal, tables and chairs are obvious. For most functions, our 6ft round banqueting tables are the workhorse. These tables seat 10 people. They give a classic banquet feel. If you need something more informal, or for mingling spaces, we have 6ft rectangular tables too, which are also great for buffets. For breakout sessions or networking, consider our poseur tables paired with bar stools. They create a more relaxed, modern vibe. And if you're expecting a bit of a crowd, maybe for a graduation party or a civic reception, our tented 8ft trestle tables are solid options, great for displaying food or materials.

Chairs. They really do make a difference to how an event feels. For a formal university dinner or a smart corporate function, you can’t go wrong with banqueting chairs. We’ve got them in black and in beige. They’re comfortable, stackable, and just look the part. If you want something with a bit more character, our Chiavari chairs are always a hit, especially the limewash ones for a softer, more rustic feel that works well if you use a hall without a grand feel. The gold and silver ones add a touch of sparkle. For a more contemporary or relaxed feel, especially if you’re using a space that’s a bit more industrial or a community hall, our cross-back chairs in oak are a popular choice. They look good without anything extra, or you could add a touch of colour with our chair covers and napkins, especially if you're trying to match university or society colours.

For events that are more about standing and mingling, or for a bar area, we’ve got a good range of bar furniture. Poseur tables are key here, often paired with bar stools. We have different styles of stools, some with backs for a bit more comfort. If you’re setting up a proper bar, our actual bar units are a good idea. They give you a professional-looking space to serve drinks from.

And what about creating a chill-out zone? For less formal events, or to give guests somewhere to retreat to, our sofas and lounge chairs can make a big difference. Sofas and lounge chairs turn a functional space into a comfortable area. People relax and chat. We also have bean bags. They suit student events or laid-back gatherings. Bean bags provide comfort and add a fun element.

Outdoor events, even just a reception on a lawn, need consideration too. Our outdoor furniture sets are robust and look good. Weather in Wales can be unpredictable. Our gazebos provide cover. And for those cooler evenings, our patio heaters are essential. They make a huge difference to whether people stay outside or retreat indoors.

When you're planning food, whether it's a formal dinner or a casual buffet, the right catering equipment is vital. For serving hot food, we have hot cupboards and warming equipment. Do a BBQ. We have BBQ grills for summer events. Need to keep drinks cold? We hire out fridges and freezers. For serving, We have a full range of crockery, including plates and bowls. We also have cutlery. Don’t forget the glassware; we stock everything from wine glasses and champagne flutes to beer glasses and cocktail glasses. The right tools make food and drink presentation and serving easy.

If your event has a more professional or exhibition feel, perhaps for a university open day or a local business showcase, we have specific exhibition furniture. This includes things like display cabinets for sensitive items or products, and simple desks or tables for registration or information points. We also have barrier hire if you need to manage queues or direct people.

The process is simple. Tell us your event details: the date, the times, and the delivery address in Cathays. You can browse our website and add items to a quote request, or just give us a call. We’ll check availability and put together a price for you. Once you’re happy, we confirm the booking. On the day of your event, we deliver the equipment. It’ll be clean and ready to go. After your event is finished, we come back and collect it all. Do not worry about cleaning crockery. Stack chairs. Have them ready for us.

It’s worth thinking about the flow of your event. Where will people gather? Where will they eat? Is there a bar area? Having the right furniture makes all the difference to comfort and how people interact. For example, a few sofas in a corner can provide a much-needed quieter spot for conversation during a busy conference reception. Or having enough tablecloths that fit tables. This makes everything look tidier and more finished.

We’re here to facilitate the practical side of your event in Cathays. You’ve got enough to think about with speakers, catering menus, and guest lists. Let us handle the tables, chairs, glasses, and equipment so you can focus on everything else.
