You see live stock levels and pricing immediately on our website, removing the need for phone calls or quotes.

Styles of Tumblers for Hire

Highball glasses feature tall, straight sides and hold between 300ml and 350ml. Guests drink long beverages from these glasses, including popular spirit and mixer combinations like gin and tonics or rum and colas. They also hold soft drinks poured over ice or mixed with sliced citrus. Their height accommodates plenty of ice, keeping beverages cool for longer periods. These glasses present a classic, clean line that fits any bar setup.

Rocks glasses, often called old fashioned glasses, sit shorter and wider than highball glasses. They feature a heavy base for stability and a solid feel in the hand. These glasses hold 250ml to 300ml. Bartenders pour spirits neat or on the rocks into these glasses, alongside short cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Negroni. The wide mouth accepts larger ice cubes or spheres, which melt slower and dilute the drink less. Their solid construction makes them a popular choice for high-volume bars and sophisticated receptions.

Glassware Preparation and Management

Expo Hire cleans and polishes all glassware before delivery. Our team confirms each glass meets strict hygiene standards. We pack the glasses into purpose-built boxes for protection during transit. Box quantities hold 25 or 36 glasses, depending on the glass type, making handling on site straightforward for your staff. Arranging tumblers hire includes our "Send It Back Dirty" service on every order. Your team returns the glasses unwashed in their original delivery boxes, saving valuable time during event clear-down. We include a Free Minor Damage Waiver on every order, covering small scratches and standard wear, giving you peace of mind during busy service.

We deliver your order using our own fleet, with delivery starting from £40 ex-VAT depending on road distance from your nearest depot. You receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA on the morning of your delivery. We require no security deposit, and you can secure orders over £1,000 with a 25% advance payment. To complete your table settings, add crockery hire and cutlery hire to your basket. Professional buyers trust our online platform to manage their complete event requirements. Finalise your tumblers hire by selecting your dates on the product page to check live availability and confirm your booking.
