- Cleaning and return
Cleaning tableware and serveware hire after a big function is not only a boring job but is also the time when it's most likely to get lost.
It’s the main reason why we have made it compulsory for all tableware and serviceware items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All a customer needs to do is to ensure that all food debris is scraped off tableware before it’s repacked ready for collection.
