Seated dinners and formal presentations require dependable seating. We design our EventPro® range specifically for the hire trade, testing every item for commercial use. For traditional weddings and banquets, Chiavari chairs provide a classic profile. Venues with a rustic aesthetic, such as converted barns near Sherwood Forest, often select Cross Back chairs in oak. Corporate clients running seminars frequently order Wishbone chairs or standard banqueting chairs. You can browse our full inventory of chair hire options online. We require no security deposit, freeing up your budget for other event expenses. For large-scale bookings exceeding £500, you can secure your inventory early with a 25% advance deposit.
Round tables dominate formal dining layouts. Our 6ft round banqueting tables seat ten guests and fit standard venue floor plans. For buffet stations or panel discussions, 8ft rectangular tables give you ample surface area. Exhibitions at the Motorpoint Arena or standing receptions often utilise poseur tables alongside bar stools to encourage networking. Review our complete table hire category to match your specific layout requirements. All furniture hire prices display live on the product pages.
Supplying nottingham event hire - tables, chairs & catering equipment
Food service demands heavy-duty hardware. Independent caterers and hotel teams rely on our cooking equipment to handle high-volume output. Holding food at safe temperatures requires dedicated hardware. Our warming equipment, including chafing dishes and bain-maries, keeps service moving. Summer festivals and large-scale banquets generate heavy demand for our fridge and freezer hire units. We also stock beverage equipment for high-capacity hot drink stations, plus the necessary serving equipment. Our system calculates delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our nearest depot.
Crockery, Cutlery, and Glassware
Table settings dictate the tone of a meal. We stock thousands of matching crockery pieces, from standard white plates to specialist bowls. Pair these with our commercial cutlery sets. Drink service requires specific vessels. Formal dinners need wine glasses and champagne flutes, while casual bar setups require pints and tumblers. We supply all these alongside essential bar accessories.
Washing up consumes valuable time during venue breakdown. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service applies to all plates, glasses, and cutlery. You pack the items away unwashed, and our depot team handles the cleaning. Every order also includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver. This covers accidental chips or scratches, protecting you from unexpected replacement bills. No other UK hire company offers this waiver for free.
Event Linen
Bare tables need covering for formal dining. White and ivory tablecloths remain the standard for corporate dinners and weddings. We stock multiple sizes to fit our circular and rectangular tables. Adding matching napkins completes the place setting. Some organisers also specify chair covers to unify the room's appearance. Browse our linen hire section to find the exact dimensions for your chosen tables.
