Professional event organisers face strict logistical demands when sourcing drinks service equipment. Sourcing commercial glassware hire means finding a supplier that delivers clean, commercial-grade stock directly to your venue. Expo Hire stocks over 50 distinct glass types to cover formal wedding breakfasts, large corporate receptions, and high-volume festival bars. You place your entire order online without making a single phone call, viewing live prices and exact stock levels.
This collection covers typical needs for wine, champagne, beer, spirits, and soft drinks. For wine service, you select the classic ISO tasting glass, a 210ml capacity option. Red wines require larger-bowl balloon glasses. We stock both 350ml and 450ml sizes. Champagne service incorporates traditional flutes for sparkling wine, while vintage-style coupes suit cocktails or champagne pyramids. For bars and casual service, the inventory includes various tumblers. Highball tumblers measure 300ml, holding long drinks and soft beverages. Old fashioned tumblers measure 250ml, holding spirits on the rocks or short cocktails. Beer service options include classic pint and half-pint glasses, alongside stemmed pilsner glasses for formal settings. You can also source specific cocktail glasses, liqueur glasses, and water jugs. Most items consist of durable commercial glass.
Expo Hire staff prepare each piece before dispatch. They run all items through commercial glasswashers, sanitising every item at temperatures above 60°C. Trained personnel then inspect every glass for chips, cracks, watermarks, or any other blemishes. We pack all clean items into sturdy, stackable crates for safe transport and organised storage on your site. After your event concludes, our "Send It Back Dirty" service eliminates on-site washing. Your staff empty the glasses and return them to their crates unwashed. We handle all the cleaning back at our Birmingham depot. Every order comes with a free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental breakages without requiring a security deposit.
Coordinating a complete table setting requires more than just drinks service. You can match your glasses with our crockery hire and cutlery hire ranges. We also supply catering equipment hire for back-of-house operations. We dispatch orders from 11 regional depots and calculate transport by road distance starting from £40 ex-VAT.
