Expo Hire supplies polished 18/0 stainless steel cutlery hire for professional events. Return all items unwashed with our Send It Back Dirty service.
Event organisers, independent caterers, and venue managers require clean, uniform table settings for large-scale dining. Expo Hire supplies polished 18/0 stainless steel cutlery hire to professional buyers throughout England and Wales. You can select exact quantities of knives, forks, and spoons to match specific menu requirements without paying a security deposit. Our online ordering system lets you bypass phone calls and secure your equipment instantly.
We stock four distinct stainless steel patterns to match different dining aesthetics. You can choose the plain, modern Elegance pattern for corporate galas or select the classic Old English style for traditional weddings. The ornate Kings design suits formal banquets, while our Bead pattern offers a versatile middle ground for hospitality managers. Staff polish every piece before despatch, removing watermarks and smudges so items arrive ready for immediate table setting. The 18/0 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and retains its shine through repeated commercial washing cycles.
You build your order piece by piece to match your exact course structure, preventing unnecessary surplus. Main courses require 20-24cm dinner knives and matching dinner forks. Starters and lighter dishes need dessert knives and dessert forks. You can specify fish knives and salad forks for specialist menus. Soup spoons, dessert spoons, and tea spoons complete the set. Pair these items with our crockery hire and glassware hire to finalise your table arrangements. Adding linen hire creates a cohesive finish for formal dining environments.
We pack all items into durable, stackable crates for transit to protect them during transport. You receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS arrival time on delivery day, helping your on-site team coordinate the setup. Every order includes a free Minor Damage Waiver to cover accidental scratches or minor breakages. After your event concludes, you scrape plates clean of food residue and repack the items into their original crates. You do not need to wash anything. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service covers all cleaning at our Birmingham depot. Staff wash, re-polish, and inspect every item before its next outing.
