Crockery hired by the piece for events across England and Wales.
Expo Hire supplies standard white catering china for events across England and Wales. Our range covers dinner plates, side plates, bowls and soup bowls, all in a consistent white glaze suited to professional catering and formal dining. We hire by the piece, so you order what you need and nothing more.
We work with caterers, event managers, venues without their own crockery stock, and private clients running large dinners. Orders range from 20 covers to 500 or more. If you know your guest count, we can quote from that number. If the count is not yet fixed, we can hold stock subject to availability.
All our crockery is standard white hotel-grade china:
All pieces are white with no pattern. This works across formal table settings, casual outdoor events and festival catering alike. If you need something more specific, call us and we can check additional stock not listed on the site.
We supply crockery for wedding breakfasts, evening receptions and outdoor ceremonies. Couples and their caterers often combine our crockery with glassware, cutlery and linen from the same order, which cuts down on supplier coordination. We deliver and collect on a schedule that fits around your venue access windows.
Award ceremonies, gala dinners and corporate hospitality events often need matching crockery across multiple tables with a consistent, clean look. Our white china works well in those settings. We can supply 300 or 400 covers at short notice if stock allows, so contact us early for large bookings.
For outdoor festivals and street food events where operators want to move away from disposables, we supply crockery on a hire basis. Items come back dirty, which is standard, and we handle all washing on return. This works for pop-ups, markets and multi-day outdoor events.
Private dinner parties and family celebrations sometimes need more crockery than a household has. We take orders from 20 pieces upward, so smaller private bookings are fine. Delivery and collection applies to the same England and Wales coverage as larger orders.
We hire the full table set-up, so crockery orders often go out alongside:
Combining items in one order reduces delivery costs and means one point of contact for the whole table package.
Send us your event date, the number of covers and which pieces you need. We confirm availability and send a quote. Once you approve, we raise an invoice and confirm delivery details.
We deliver to your venue or collection point before your event and collect afterwards. You can specify a delivery window if access to the site is restricted. For multi-day events, discuss the collection date when you book.
We operate a standard damage policy. Occasional breakages at catered events are expected. We charge for items that come back damaged or missing beyond what normal use accounts for. We go through this with you at the time of booking so there are no surprises. If something breaks during your event, set the pieces aside and note what happened, but do not discard them.
Return the crockery dirty. You do not need to wash or rinse items before packing them for collection. We wash everything on return as a matter of course. Pack plates and bowls with care in the trays we supply to avoid damage in transit.
We deliver to addresses across England and Wales. Collection works the same way. Scotland and Northern Ireland are outside our delivery area. If you are close to the border and want to discuss options, call us.
Delivery charges depend on order size and distance. We quote delivery at the same time as the crockery. For large orders, we can arrange tail-lift vehicles if the venue requires them.
