A sturdy handle allows waiters to move full vessels safely from the kitchen to the dining area.
Commercial-grade construction means these items withstand heavy use at large-scale corporate events and weddings.

Expo Hire operates a "Send It Back Dirty" policy for all crockery, glassware, and cutlery. Your team packs the unwashed items back into their transport crates after the meal, and we manage the washing at our depot. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver to cover accidental chips or scratches during normal use. You pay no security deposit when booking your catering equipment hire through our online platform. We calculate delivery from £40 using the road distance from your nearest regional depot, and we send live vehicle tracking updates via SMS on the day.
Wedding breakfasts and corporate galas rely on uniform tableware presentation across hundreds of covers. Placing these white porcelain boats alongside your table hire setup creates a cohesive look across the entire dining room. Buffet stations also benefit from dedicated sauce vessels. Guests serve themselves salad dressings, mint sauce, or hot gravies without creating a mess around the food warmers. The stackable shape helps your back-of-house team manage space in the catering tent before and after the main meal service.

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.
