Event organisers, independent caterers, and hospitality managers require commercial-grade equipment for their events. Expo Hire supplies professional B2B clients with everything from heavy-duty ovens to fine bone china. Booking Richmond upon Thames catering hire takes minutes through our online platform. We operate a strict dry hire service. Our drivers deliver clean, tested equipment directly to your venue and collect it after use. You arrange the setup, layout, and installation. We do not provide on-site support or event management. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT and calculates automatically based on the exact road distance from our nearest depot. You can also collect your order directly from our warehouse between 7am and 3pm, Monday to Friday.
Sourcing Richmond upon Thames catering hire for professional events
West London hosts hundreds of corporate functions, charity galas, and private dining events every month. Venues along the river and historic spaces in Kew or Twickenham demand high-quality furnishings. We stock the EventPro® own-brand range. Our team designs this furniture specifically for the hire trade rather than the retail market. The frames withstand heavy commercial use and frequent transport. You can order a lockable glass display cabinet to present auction items at a charity fundraiser. Garden parties in Barnes or East Sheen often require rattan outdoor seating alongside commercial gazebos to protect guests from sudden weather changes. Formal dinners need our 45cm wide banqueting chairs paired with 120-inch round tablecloths.
Private Parties & Celebrations
Birthdays and anniversaries in private residences need adaptable seating arrangements. Lounge areas benefit from our faux leather sofas and fire-retardant bean bags. These items create relaxed zones away from the main dining space. Sit-down meals require our 6ft folding wooden banqueting tables and matching chairs. We do not charge a security deposit on any order. Competitors often hold hundreds of pounds in refundable deposits for weeks after an event. You can allocate your entire budget to the event itself rather than tying up funds in unnecessary deposits.
Corporate Events
Product launches and client dinners require a polished aesthetic. Networking receptions use our 110cm high poseur tables to encourage guests to mingle and rest their drinks. Caterers rely on our stainless steel serving equipment to distribute canapés to large crowds. On the day of your event, we provide live vehicle tracking. An SMS ETA arrives with a two-hour delivery window on the morning of your delivery. You can track the driver on a live map using your order number and postcode. This prevents you from waiting around empty venues all day.
Small Weddings & Civil Ceremonies
Intimate ceremonies need specific furniture and tableware. You can hire limewash chairs for the ceremony room and a 3ft rustic wooden table for the register signing. The wedding breakfast requires hundreds of individual items. We supply complete sets of crockery hire and 12oz wine glasses for the toast. Washing up after a wedding takes hours and requires commercial dishwashers. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service removes this task entirely. You return all plates, glasses, and cutlery unwashed in their original crates. We handle the cleaning at our depot. The hire price includes the cleaning cost.
Pop-up Events & Markets
Temporary food vendors operate in tight spaces with strict power limitations. We supply 3kW street food equipment that runs on standard 13-amp plugs. Traders use our 600-litre upright fridges to store raw ingredients at safe temperatures. Live stock levels and pricing display directly on our website. We show exact quantities available for your specific dates. You never have to wait for a quote or call a sales rep to confirm availability. The price you see on the screen is the price you pay.
Supplying West London Venues
Event organisers face tight turnaround times at venues across the capital. We deliver equipment to hotels, community halls, and private estates. Breakages happen at busy events, especially during pack-down. We include a Free Minor Damage Waiver on every single order. No other UK hire company offers this protection as standard. This waiver covers small scratches on tables, minor dents in catering equipment, or the occasional broken glass. You do not face unexpected bills for minor wear and tear.
Essential Event Equipment
Dinner parties and banquets require precise numbers of tableware. You can order 10-inch porcelain plates and 18/0 stainless steel cutlery in exact quantities. Mobile caterers need heavy-duty cooking equipment to prepare hot food on-site. We supply six-burner ovens and twin-basket fryers powered by LPG or electricity. Once the food is ready, chefs use our 1/1 Gastronorm warming equipment to hold dishes at 65°C before service. You can browse our full range of catering equipment hire to find the exact specifications for your menu.
Drinks receptions need dedicated service areas. You can build a custom layout using our modular bar unit sections. Guests use our 75cm high bar stools to sit at the counter. Bartenders require specific bar accessories to mix cocktails and pour pints. We supply ice buckets, optic stands, and non-slip trays. You can also order bulk glassware hire to cover multiple drink options throughout the evening. We stock everything from slimline highballs to traditional pint glasses in crates of 24 or 36.
Outdoor events require contingency plans for British weather. Commercial gazebos provide shelter from rain and direct sunlight. Evening receptions drop in temperature. Our 13kW gas patio heaters project warmth across a 15-square-metre radius. Table settings need finishing touches. You can order 20-inch square napkins from our linen hire section to match your corporate colours or wedding theme. We supply linen in black, white, ivory, and burgundy.
Organising an event requires reliable suppliers and transparent pricing. We operate the UK's first fully online event hire platform. You can secure your Richmond upon Thames catering hire at any time of day or night. Orders over £500 qualify for a 25% advance deposit option. This helps you manage cash flow for large-scale events. Stock levels update in real time. Select your hire dates to check availability and add items to your basket today.
