When to hire barbecues

BBQ hire is most in demand for summer garden parties, summer parties and outdoor festivals and fetes. A single large gas BBQ can cater for 50 to 80 guests over a 2 to 3 hour service window. For events of 100 guests or more, two BBQs or a combination of gas and charcoal is more practical.

BBQs must not be used in enclosed or covered areas without adequate ventilation.

What to hire with barbecues

Gas BBQs require propane gas; see gas bottle hire. Pair with barbecue accessories and outdoor catering equipment. For seated BBQ dining, add outdoor tables and chairs.

Ordering

Expo Hire stocks gas and charcoal BBQs for hire. Gas bottles should be ordered at the same time as the BBQ to avoid a separate delivery. Specify your expected guest count so we can advise on the right number of BBQs.

BBQ hire peaks in June, July and August, so book early. We deliver across England and Wales. Contact us to request a quote.

No security deposit

Expo Hire does not charge a security deposit. A free minor damage waiver covers minor damage and loss. Excessive or negligent damage is charged at 10 times the hire price. Full details in our terms and conditions.
