Hire catering equipment for exhibitions and trade shows: water boilers, bar fridges, hot cupboards and serving equipment. Delivery across England and Wales.
Expo Hire stocks catering equipment for exhibition stand hospitality across England and Wales. The range covers the practical items needed to run a drinks station or light hospitality offering at a trade show: hot water boilers, bar fridges, cups and saucers, serving jugs and associated accessories. Stand catering is a practical way to increase visitor dwell time and give buyers and clients a reason to pause at your stand.
Hot water boilers and compact urns provide hot drinks without a commercial coffee machine. A 10-litre boiler produces around 40 to 50 cups of tea or instant coffee per fill and suits a small to medium exhibition stand running through a standard show day. For stands serving a large volume of visitors, a larger urn or a filter coffee machine handles the capacity more comfortably.
Bar fridges keep bottled water, soft drinks and chilled wine or sparkling drinks available throughout the show. A compact counter-height fridge fits in most stand footprints without taking up much floor space. For hospitality-focused stands at larger shows, an upright bar fridge with more capacity suits a busier service through a two or three day event.
Cups and saucers from the crockery range can be ordered alongside beverage equipment for a consistent, professional service. Paper cups are the alternative for high-volume service where washing on the stand is not practical.
Exhibitions at the NEC in Birmingham and ExCeL London attract buyers and clients who spend long days on the show floor. Stands with refreshments stand out from those without. A simple hot drinks station with branded cups is one of the most cost-effective ways to keep visitors at the stand longer and make conversations more natural.
Trade shows at any major venue follow the same principle. Whether you are exhibiting at a specialist trade fair or a broad consumer show, having a hot drink or cold water to offer during a conversation changes the dynamic noticeably.
Exhibition catering equipment can be ordered alongside exhibition furniture and accessories in a single hire order. Expo Hire delivers across England and Wales. For major exhibitions, confirm your delivery window with the show organiser. Equipment needs to arrive during the stand build period rather than during show open hours.
Expo Hire does not charge a security deposit. A free minor damage waiver covers minor damage and loss. Excessive or negligent damage is charged at 10 times the hire price. Full details in our terms and conditions.
Expo Hire charges a fixed fee to many major exhibition centres across the UK, covering timed delivery and collection direct to your hall and stand number. Check whether your venue qualifies on the carriage calculator. For most qualifying venues the fixed charge is £100 with a minimum order of £500.
