Hire cutlery for events and weddings across England and Wales: forks, knives, spoons and serving utensils in stainless steel and silver-plated styles.
Expo Hire stocks cutlery for weddings, award dinners, conferences and catering events across England and Wales. The range covers everyday stainless steel patterns for volume catering and silver-plated designs for formal dining, with complete sets available by the dozen. All cutlery is washed and polished before dispatch.
Four patterns are available depending on the formality of your event. The Kings Parish and Harley Parish patterns cover most formal and semi-formal events. The Bead Parish range suits events that want a classic look without the cost of silver plate. The Virtue Exclusive pattern is silver-plated and suited to gala dinners and award ceremonies where presentation matters.
Weddings with a formal sit-down breakfast need a full cutlery set per cover. For a three-course meal, that means a dinner knife and fork, a starter knife and fork or a soup spoon, a dessert spoon and fork, and a butter knife per guest. A wedding for 100 guests typically requires 600 to 700 individual cutlery pieces before you add serving utensils.
Award ceremonies and gala dinners call for silver-plated patterns. The Virtue Exclusive and Kings Parish ranges are regularly hired for black-tie events at city venues. Matching the cutlery pattern to the crockery choice makes the table setting look deliberate and consistent.
Conferences with a catered lunch or dinner need cutlery in volume, often to a tighter budget. The Harley Parish stainless steel pattern is a practical choice here. It looks clean on the table without requiring the care that silver-plated cutlery demands from serving staff.
Cutlery is priced per piece with bulk rates available. Order by the dozen to match your cover count. Include a margin of around 10 to 15 per cent for loss and breakage. All cutlery is washed and polished before dispatch and returned in the same transit trays. Expo Hire delivers to venues across England and Wales. Book three to four weeks ahead for large wedding and dinner orders. The Large Order Deposit Scheme lets you secure stock with a 25% deposit. Cutlery can be returned unwashed by adding the Send It Back Dirty service. Breakage during normal use is covered by the Minor Damage Waiver.
