Commercial dover event hire | tables, chairs, catering equipment
Organising a sit-down banquet or a corporate conference demands specific furniture configurations. The EventPro® range contains thousands of items manufactured specifically for the hire trade rather than retail use. You can select tables in multiple dimensions to fit your floor plan. Our banqueting tables feature folding legs and 15mm exterior grade plywood tops, supporting heavy loads and large centrepieces. Standing receptions benefit from our poseur tables, standing 1100mm high, which pair with our bar furniture to create distinct drinking areas. Seating arrangements dictate guest comfort during long presentations or multi-course meals. You will find chairs to match any aesthetic requirement. Traditional banqueting chairs stack up to ten high for space-saving storage and feature high-density foam seat pads. Formal dining setups frequently utilise Chiavari chairs, which feature European beechwood construction in multiple finishes. Rustic barn venues and outdoor marquees suit the Cross Back chair in oak, which brings a natural wood grain texture to the room. Dressing these setups requires quality fabrics, and our linen hire category provides tablecloths and napkins in various sizes and colours to match your corporate branding or wedding theme.
Supplying Temporary Kitchens and Bars
Feeding hundreds of guests requires industrial-grade kitchen appliances. Caterers setting up temporary kitchens rely on our cooking equipment, including six-burner ovens and heavy-duty fryers running on LPG or electricity. Holding food at safe temperatures remains a legal requirement, and our warming equipment features thermostatically controlled hot cupboards and bain maries. Summer festivals and outdoor corporate days often incorporate BBQ hire, giving chefs large grill areas for high-volume output. Storing perishable ingredients and chilling beverages demands industrial refrigeration. Our fridge hire category includes double-door bottle coolers and 600-litre upright catering fridges. Hot drink stations operate using our beverage equipment, featuring 20-litre water boilers and pump-action airpots. Kitchen staff also need serving accessories like stainless steel gastronorm pans, serving tongs, and clearing trolleys to manage service flow.
Tableware and the "Send It Back Dirty" Service
Plating up a three-course meal involves precise tableware calculations. We supply matching crockery in classic white porcelain, featuring rolled edges to resist chipping during transit and service. Your table settings require complete cutlery sets, from soup spoons to steak knives, featuring 18/0 stainless steel construction. Drink service dictates specific vessel types. Pouring vintages requires appropriate wine glasses, which we stock in 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz capacities. Toasts and receptions call for champagne flutes. Pubs and casual bars stock up on beer glasses, including CE-marked pints and half-pints. Mixologists use our cocktail glasses, from martini saucers to highball tumblers. Bartenders also require bar accessories such as ice buckets, optic stands, and non-slip trays. Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service on all tableware. You return the plates, glasses, and forks unwashed, and our depot team handles the cleaning. This saves your catering staff hours of manual washing at the end of a long shift.
Logistics, Delivery, and Online Ordering
Transporting commercial equipment requires a structured logistics network. We operate 11 regional depots, dispatching vehicles across England and Wales. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT, which our system calculates by road distance from the nearest depot to your venue. On the morning of your delivery, you receive an SMS with an estimated time of arrival and a link to track the vehicle live on a map. We do not charge a security deposit on any order, freeing up your budget for other event expenses. Large event bookings over £1,000 qualify for a 25% advance deposit option to secure the inventory months in advance. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental scratches and minor wear during your hire period. No other UK hire company provides this waiver free of charge. Customers with their own transport can collect orders directly from our Birmingham head office Monday to Friday between 7am and 3pm.
