Commercial Equipment for stonehouse event hire | expo hire cotswold
Industrial estates like Stonehouse Business Park host regular trade shows, training days, and corporate presentations. Event organisers require practical seating and display units that withstand heavy use. Expo Hire stocks conference chairs featuring padded seats and strong metal frames, providing ergonomic support for long meetings. You pair these with folding banqueting tables to create breakout areas, registration desks, or presentation stations.
Networking events benefit from taller setups. Adding poseur tables alongside matching bar stools encourages attendees to interact while holding drinks or laptops. Trade shows demand clear navigation and secure product units. We supply exhibition furniture to fit standard shell schemes. You secure valuable items inside lockable display cabinets and direct foot traffic using retractable barriers. Every item arrives clean, tested, and ready for immediate deployment on the exhibition floor.
Furniture for Private and Corporate Functions
Venues across the Stroud district host everything from formal banquets to rustic weddings. Your seating choices dictate the room layout and guest comfort. Our EventPro® own-brand banqueting chairs stack for transport and feature interchangeable seat pads. The Chiavari chair remains a staple for traditional dining. Planners select the gold finish for formal banquets, while the limewash variant suits rustic barn settings.
Country house venues and barn conversions often require a different aesthetic. The Wishbone chair introduces a curved wooden backrest and woven seat, fitting natural or botanical themes. Planners organising rustic events frequently select the Cross Back chair in oak.
Dining layouts rely on sturdy foundations. Our 6ft circular banqueting tables seat up to ten guests, maximising floor space in square or irregular rooms. Long banquet setups utilise our 6ft rectangular tables, which feature folding metal legs and protective PVC edging. You do not pay a security deposit on any furniture hire order, keeping your budget focused on the event itself.
Bar and Evening Reception Equipment
Drinks receptions require specific infrastructure to serve guests without delays. We stock bar equipment including modular counters, ice wells, and optic stands. Bartenders need dependable beverage equipment to manage high-volume service, from hot water boilers to coffee percolators.
Guest seating around the bar area keeps the main dining room clear. Standard poseur tables and stools create casual drinking zones. Evening parties and modern corporate functions often incorporate LED furniture. These battery-powered cubes, curved benches, and illuminated bar units operate for up to ten hours on a single charge, adding a distinct visual element to dark rooms or marquees.
Outdoor Event Infrastructure
Gloucestershire weather requires contingency planning for any outdoor gathering. We supply outdoor furniture including aluminium bistro sets, wooden picnic benches, and rattan sofas. Rain or intense sun can disrupt proceedings. Adding gazebo hire to your order provides immediate shelter for catering teams or ticket desks.
Evening temperatures drop rapidly in open countryside. Gas and electric patio heaters keep guests warm on terraces and lawns. Casual dining formats often centre around open-air cooking. Our commercial BBQ equipment features high-output burners and large grill areas, allowing chefs to serve hundreds of portions per hour. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT, calculated by road distance from our nearest depot.
Professional Catering Appliances
Temporary kitchens demand commercial-grade appliances to meet food safety standards. Expo Hire supplies fridges and freezers ranging from under-counter units to double-door upright cabinets. Hot food service requires precise temperature control. We stock warming equipment including hot cupboards, bain-maries, and heated gantries.
Chefs working in marquees or unequipped venues rely on our cooking equipment. You hire six-burner ovens, twin-basket fryers, and heavy-duty griddles powered by LPG or electricity. Casual dining formats utilise our street food equipment, featuring paella pans, crepe makers, and hot dog machines. All electrical items carry current PAT certification, and gas appliances arrive with valid safety certificates.

Tableware, Glassware, and Linen
Plated dinners require uniform crockery in large volumes. We stock thousands of matching plates and bowls in classic white porcelain or textured stoneware. Your table settings depend on high-quality cutlery. Our ranges include traditional bead patterns and modern, minimalist designs in 18/10 stainless steel.
Drinks service demands specific vessels for different beverages. We supply standard and crystal wine glasses, alongside tall champagne flutes for toasts. Bars require bulk quantities of beer glasses and specialised cocktail glasses.
Washing thousands of items after a long shift drains staff resources. Expo Hire operates a "Send It Back Dirty" policy. You return all crockery, glassware, and cutlery unwashed, and our depot handles the cleaning.
