Venues like the Syston Community Centre and local manor houses host hundreds of guests requiring proper seating arrangements. We stock thousands of tables and chairs manufactured specifically for the hire trade under our EventPro® brand. You can seat 500 guests using our stacking banqueting chairs, which feature high-density foam pads and a 20mm steel frame. Formal dining setups benefit from our wooden Chiavari chairs, stocked in black, gold, or limewash finishes. For dining surfaces, our 6ft rectangular trestle tables feature 15mm exterior-grade plywood tops and folding wishbone legs. Round tables come in 3ft, 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft diameters, accommodating between four and twelve diners per table. We do not require a security deposit on any furniture orders, keeping your upfront costs lower.
Corporate networking events and festival VIP areas demand distinct zones for guests to congregate. You can build a temporary lounge using our faux-leather sofa sets and water-resistant bean bags. The bean bags feature double-stitched seams and wipe-clean surfaces, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. Bar areas function best with high-level surfaces, and our chrome-base poseur tables pair directly with our adjustable bar stools. The poseur tables stand at 1100mm high and feature a 600mm diameter top. Every item arrives clean and tested. We calculate delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on the road distance from our nearest depot to your Syston venue.
Catering equipment and tableware for Leicestershire venues
Food service requires exact quantities of matching plates, bowls, and glasses. Our crockery hire inventory includes thousands of plain white porcelain pieces, from 12-inch dinner plates to 6-inch side plates. You can match these with our 18/0 stainless steel cutlery hire sets, featuring classic bead or modern teardrop patterns. Drink service relies on specific vessel types. We supply 8oz and 12oz wine glasses, standard 20oz pint-sized beer glasses, and 6oz champagne flutes for toasts. Every tableware order includes our "Send It Back Dirty" service. You return the plates, glasses, and forks unwashed in their original crates, and our warehouse team handles the cleaning via industrial tunnel washers. This service saves your catering staff hours of manual labour at the end of a long shift.
Independent caterers operating in temporary kitchens need commercial-grade appliances. We stock 6-burner gas ovens and twin-basket 3kW fryers within our cooking equipment category. Outdoor summer events frequently utilise our 6ft Cinders BBQ itself, which runs on propane gas and cooks up to 1,000 burgers per hour. Keeping food at safe temperatures requires electric chafing dishes and bain-maries from our warming equipment selection. These units run on standard 13A plugs. You can store raw ingredients and chill beverages using our double-door fridges and freezers, which hold up to 600 litres of internal capacity. Buffet stations require specific serving accessories, including stainless steel tongs, 8-litre soup kettles, and 1/1 size gastronorm pans.

Open-air functions in Leicestershire parks and private gardens require weather protection and temperature control. Our 3m x 3m pop-up gazebos feature heavy-duty waterproof canopies and 40mm hexagonal aluminium frames. As evening temperatures drop, our 13kW gas patio heaters provide a 15-square-metre heat radius. Guests can sit at our aluminium outdoor furniture, which resists rain and wipes dry in seconds. Indoor dining tables require proper covering. We supply 100% spun polyester tablecloths in circular, square, and rectangular formats. The 220gsm fabric weight provides a thick, opaque drop over the table edges. You can add matching or contrasting 20-inch napkins to complete the table setting.
