Hire ice tongs - stainless steel for event bars. Live stock, no deposit. Online booking, delivery from £40 across England and Wales.
Professional bartenders rely on precise tools during high-volume drink services. Booking your ice tongs - stainless steel hire gives your staff the right equipment to handle frozen cubes without direct hand contact. Measuring 160mm in length, these silver accessories reach deep into buckets while keeping fingers clear of the contents. The serrated edges bite firmly into wet ice, stopping slips and spills behind the counter. Weighing a mere 0.01kg, they add almost zero bulk to a busy workstation. You maintain strict hygiene protocols across your venue by supplying dedicated utensils for every drink station.
Fast-paced hospitality environments demand practical cleanup processes. Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service with all catering equipment hire. Your team returns these items unwashed at the end of the night, and our depot staff handle the sanitation before the next dispatch. We also apply a free minor damage waiver to every single order. This covers accidental scratches or minor dents that happen during normal commercial use.
Solid metal construction helps these tools withstand constant gripping and dropping throughout a long shift. The 21mm width fits neatly onto the rim of standard buckets or rests flat on a drip tray. You equip pop-up festival tents, corporate hospitality suites, and wedding bars with uniform accessories. Organising a large-scale function requires dependable gear, and these compact items support rapid cocktail preparation.
Expo Hire operates a fully digital ordering system, letting you secure your inventory without making a single phone call. Site visitors view live pricing directly on the page and check real-time stock availability for specific dates. We require no security deposit, keeping your budget free for other event priorities. Our system calculates delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from the nearest of our 11 regional depots. On the day of your event, you track your delivery vehicle live using your order number and postcode. An automated SMS ETA helps you coordinate your setup schedule. Stock levels update in real time. Select your hire dates to check availability and confirm your bar equipment order today.

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.
