Hire graphite salt pot for events and catering. Vitrified commercial grade. Live stock, no deposit. Return dirty. Delivery from £40.

Organising a large-scale banquet or corporate dinner requires attention to every detail on the table. Our graphite salt pot hire service supplies professional caterers and event managers with commercial-grade seasoning accessories. Weighing just 0.11kg, these compact units sit neatly alongside your centrepieces without cluttering the dining space. The dark grey finish suits modern, industrial, or minimalist event themes, offering a distinct alternative to traditional white tableware.
We stock these pots in Porcelite Seasons Vitrified Porcelain. This high-density material resists chipping and scratching during busy service periods. Your staff can handle them confidently during rapid table turnovers. We include a Free Minor Damage Waiver on every order, covering accidental breakages at no extra cost. You avoid unexpected replacement fees if a guest drops a pot during the meal.
Cleaning hundreds of small items consumes valuable staff hours after a long shift. Expo Hire eliminates this task entirely. You return all crockery, glassware, and cutlery unwashed. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service covers the washing process at our Birmingham depot. Pack the used pots back into their transport crates, and our drivers collect them directly from your venue. We calculate delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on the road distance from your nearest regional depot.
Coordinating your complete dining setup takes just a few clicks. Pair these units with the matching Graphite pepper pot to complete your seasoning stations. You can also browse our wider catering equipment hire catalogue to source everything from serving platters to hot cupboards. If you need to seat hundreds of guests, our table hire section features banqueting rounds and trestles in multiple sizes.
Expo Hire operates a fully online booking system, meaning you never need to make a phone call. You see live stock levels and accurate pricing immediately on the site. Add the required quantities to your basket and confirm your dates online to secure your equipment.
See the Crockery Hire Guide for plate size selection, quantities per cover, and ordering tips.

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.
