Hire afternoon tea equipment for events: tiered stands, teapots, cups, saucers and side plates. Everything for a proper tea service.
Afternoon tea sets give garden parties, charity teas and corporate hospitality events a refined table presence. Expo Hire hires fine china afternoon tea sets including teacups, saucers, side plates and tiered cake stands, in classic white with gold or silver trim.
Afternoon tea hire works well for garden parties and summer charity events, corporate hospitality occasions, and wedding morning receptions or post-ceremony teas. It is also popular for milestone birthday celebrations and fundraising events where table presentation matters.
Sets can be used for small intimate tables of 4 to 6, or scaled up across multiple tables for larger events of 50 guests or more.
Pair with standard cups and saucers if additional capacity is needed beyond the sets. Add side plates from the standard crockery range to supplement. Round out the table setup with circular tablecloths and fabric napkins in white or pastel colours.
Expo Hire stocks afternoon tea sets suitable for events of up to 100 guests. Tiered cake stands are popular items and may be in limited supply at peak times, so book early if you need multiple stands.
We deliver across England and Wales. Contact us with the number of guests and your preferred china style to confirm availability.
Unlike many other event hire companies, Expo Hire do not charge a damage deposit when placing an order. Instead, we run a free minor damage waiver scheme to cover minor damage or loss, so you don’t need to worry if you break the odd glass or plate. We do charge for excessive or negligent loss or damage at 10x the hire price. Please check our terms and conditions for full details.
Working out delivery costs is easy with Expo Hire; simply use our carriage calculator to find which of our branches is near to you. Tap your postcode in and it will confirm not only whether we cover that postcode or not, but also which of our 11 branches is closest to you and the cost for delivery from that branch, as well as the list of possible extra charges.
Once you have filled your basket and confirmed your delivery dates and postcode in the checkout, we will show you an itemised cost for delivery so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you place your order.
Want to know when your delivery is coming? You can track your driver using our real time maps on the day of delivery and collection. Simply enter your postcode and order number into our order tracking page and find out when our driver will be with you. You can also use the link we send you by automated text.
At Expo Hire we’ve got lots of experience of dealing with events at the larger end of the spectrum. We know that they take months of planning, and sometimes budgetary constraints can prevent early ordering. If your hire charge is over £500, you can now book your hire equipment with just a 25% deposit, paying the remainder up to 28 days prior to delivery. Full details are available in our terms and conditions.
