Start Planning Your Event Today

Planning a significant celebratory meal, a large party, or a corporate dinner means providing appropriate tableware for every guest. Event organisers, commercial caterers, and private hosts often hire crockery. They achieve consistent quality and avoid purchasing, storing, and washing hundreds of items. Expo Hire supplies clean, durable porcelain and stoneware. The items complement many menus and table arrangements. We deliver items prepared for immediate use, letting you focus on the event itself.

Crockery Collections

Expo Hire stocks two main crockery collections, each offering a distinct aesthetic. The white porcelain collection offers a classic, formal foundation for many table settings. This durable dinnerware suits multi-course meals, including formal banquets. Its bright finish complements any linen colour or table decoration. You hire 27cm dinner plates. These plates hold main courses. You also hire 20cm side plates for starters, desserts, or bread rolls. We also supply 17cm bowls for soups, cereals, or individual puddings, along with various cups for tea, coffee, or dessert service. For a contemporary table setting, choose our graphite porcelain collection. This features a dark, matte finish. It offers a modern contrast to colourful food presentations. The graphite porcelain collection has dinner plates and side plates with matching dimensions. Both porcelain collections withstand frequent commercial use. We also hold limited stock of other materials, including rustic stoneware plates. These suit specific themed events or more casual dining experiences.

Crockery Preparation and Return

Every piece of crockery arrives at your venue clean and ready for immediate service. This saves your team time during setup. After your event, you do not need to wash any used plates, bowls, or cups. Simply scrape off food waste and repack the items into their original crates. Expo Hire cleans all returned crockery to commercial hygiene standards at our warehouse. We handle the entire washing process. This maintains cleanliness for the next hire.

Crockery for Any Event Scale

The company caters for small private dinners and large corporate receptions. You receive enough items for hundreds of guests. You present a consistent table setting throughout all event spaces. Expo Hire organises orders for small and large functions, from intimate parties to major events. All hired items come from the same collection batch. This avoids mismatched tableware and creates a unified look for up to several hundred guests.
