Catering Hire in Northamptonshire for Professional Events
Event organisers across the county rely on Expo Hire for northamptonshire catering hire. Supplying commercial-grade equipment to venues, independent caterers, and corporate teams requires exact timing and reliable stock. Operating from 11 regional depots across England and Wales, we dispatch orders with precision. We deliver direct to sites in Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, and surrounding areas. Our inventory covers everything from heavy-duty cooking appliances to fine dining tableware. You can view live stock levels and pricing directly on our website, allowing you to plan your budget without waiting for a quote. We operate a strict dry hire model. Our drivers deliver the equipment clean and tested, then collect it after your event concludes. We handle no setup, no installation, and no on-site support.
Furniture for Weddings, Banquets, and Corporate Dinners
Seating dictates the layout and atmosphere of your venue. Chiavari chairs remain a staple for formal dining. We stock these in gold, white, and limewash finishes. Limewash variants suit rustic barn venues around Daventry, while gold frames fit traditional hotel ballrooms. The beech Wishbone chair brings a sculptural element to modern event spaces. Its natural wood finish contrasts well against neutral backgrounds. For outdoor ceremonies or relaxed dining, the Cross Back chair in oak provides a sturdy, authentic aesthetic. We stock thousands of chairs in our EventPro® range. Our EventPro® own-brand furniture range features commercial-grade materials, avoiding the flimsy construction of retail alternatives. Our in-house team designs and tests this furniture specifically for the hire trade to withstand heavy commercial use.
Dining layouts require accurate space planning. Our 6ft round banqueting tables seat ten guests, making them the standard format for gala dinners and wedding breakfasts. Long banquet setups benefit from our 12ft rectangular tables, giving twelve guests ample room for place settings and floral centrepieces. Our banqueting tables feature folding legs and wooden tops, allowing your crew to stack and store them before the event begins. Informal networking events and drinks receptions call for smaller tables. You can pair poseur tables with high stools to create temporary bar areas. We also supply linen hire in multiple colours to match your corporate branding or wedding theme.
Tableware and Glassware Logistics
Serving hundreds of guests requires exact quantities of matching tableware. Our crockery inventory includes classic white dinner plates, starter plates, and soup bowls. White porcelain gives chefs a neutral background for plating. You will also need matching cutlery for every course. We stock standard knife, fork, and spoon sets alongside specialist items like steak knives, dessert spoons, and cake forks. Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service on all tableware. Your catering team can pack away unwashed plates and forks straight after service. Caterers appreciate this feature during late-night venue clearances. We handle the cleaning at our depot, saving your staff hours of on-site labour.
Drink service demands specific glass types for different beverages. We supply wine glasses in multiple capacities for red, white, and rosé service. Toasts require traditional champagne flutes, while casual bars need high volumes of pint and half-pint beer glasses. Mixologists can utilise our cocktail glasses, covering martini, highball, and coupe shapes. We deliver all glassware in protective crates, keeping items secure during transit and providing an easy storage method for empty glasses during the event. Breakages happen at busy events. This prompts us to include a Free Minor Damage Waiver on every order. No other UK hire company offers this protection as standard.
Commercial Catering Equipment Hire
Temporary kitchens need reliable power and precise temperature control. Our cooking equipment ranges from six-burner commercial ovens to compact induction hobs. Our electrical catering appliances use standard 13-amp plugs or 32-amp connections, depending on the power draw. Food safety regulations dictate strict holding temperatures for hot and cold dishes. We supply fridge hire for safe ingredient storage, alongside warming equipment like hot cupboards and bain-maries. These units keep pre-cooked food at safe serving temperatures during long banquet services. You can also source complete catering equipment hire packages for pop-up restaurants and festival food stalls.
High-volume drink stations require dedicated beverage equipment. Large capacity water boilers and coffee percolators keep hot drinks flowing during conference breaks. Buffet service relies on professional serving equipment. We stock chafing dishes, serving platters, and tiered stands for afternoon tea service. Professional chafing dishes use standard fuel cells to maintain heat without requiring electrical hookups. Summer events often feature outdoor cooking. Our BBQ hire includes heavy-duty gas grills capable of feeding large crowds at corporate family days or sports club events.
Outdoor Event Infrastructure in Northamptonshire
Weather conditions dictate the success of outdoor gatherings. Commercial gazebo hire gives your guests shelter from rain or intense sun. These structures create dedicated zones for bars, catering prep, or ticket checks. We supply leg weights and tie-down kits with our gazebos to maintain stability on hard standing or grass surfaces. Evening temperatures drop fast, even in summer. Gas and electric patio heaters keep guests warm in marquees, courtyards, and pub gardens. We deliver these bulky items direct to your site. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT. Our system calculates this by road distance from our nearest depot.
