Book your ice tongs - stainless steel hire online today. These 160mm silver tongs grip ice securely for hygienic bar service at corporate events and weddings.
You maintain strict hygiene standards at your event bar with your ice tongs - stainless steel hire. These 160mm silver tongs grip ice cubes securely, preventing direct hand contact during busy service periods. Your bar staff transfer ice from buckets to glasses without spills. Weighing just 0.01kg, they feel light in the hand during long shifts. You supply your professional bartenders with the right tools to serve drinks at corporate networking evenings, festival bars, and wedding receptions.
Every piece of catering equipment hire requires careful handling, but accidents happen in fast-paced hospitality environments. Expo Hire includes a free minor damage waiver on every order to cover accidental scratches or dents. You also save time after the event concludes. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service applies to all catering items. You return the tongs unwashed, and the depot team cleans them before their next dispatch.
Bar managers need dependable equipment that withstands constant use. The solid stainless steel construction resists bending and maintains its shape throughout your event. Serrated edges bite into wet ice, giving your staff a firm hold on every cube. You position these compact tongs on the rim of an ice bucket or rest them on the bar counter. Their 160mm length keeps hands clear of the ice supply, meeting commercial food safety requirements.
Expo Hire operates 11 regional depots across England and Wales, calculating delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on the road distance to your venue. You track your delivery vehicle live on the day using your order number and postcode, receiving an SMS ETA to help you plan your setup schedule. The fully online system lets you place your entire order without making a single phone call. We require no security deposit, freeing up your event budget for other priorities.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
