Hire one table for a registration point or hundreds for a dinner service. We have no minimum spend, and we do not ask for a security deposit.

\n

Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge. Other hire companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover — on a typical £1,000 booking, that is up to £30 extra you keep in your pocket.

\n\n

Banqueting tables for guest dining

\n

Round tables suit weddings, awards dinners, charity events and community functions. They give guests space to talk across the table, and they leave clear routes for service staff. Pick the size that matches your guest numbers, centrepieces and plated service plan.

\n\n

Rectangular tables work well when you need long dining rows, top tables or buffet lines. They also help you use narrow halls and temporary venues where round tables waste space.

\n\n

Trestle tables for service, prep and back of house

\n

Trestle tables handle the practical jobs that keep an event moving. Use them for check-in desks, catering prep, storage areas and trade counters. Folding legs help your team move them through loading bays, lifts and service corridors.

\n\n

Add tablecloths if the table sits in front of guests. Keep the tops bare when the table sits behind the scenes in a kitchen, stock room or production office.

\n\n

Poseur tables and exhibition layouts

\n

Poseur tables suit drinks receptions, networking events and exhibition stands. They give guests a place to rest glasses and brochures without filling the room with full dining furniture.

\n\n

Exhibitors also use tables for product demos, literature points and meeting areas. Match them with stools, chairs and linen to keep the stand consistent.

\n\n

Delivery and ordering

\n

We deliver from 11 depots across England and Wales. On delivery day, you can track the vehicle with our GPS system and line up your access team before the driver arrives.

\n\n

Order tables on their own, or add seating, linen, crockery and catering equipment in the same basket. The website shows live pricing and availability, so you can place the order when the layout is ready.

Frequently asked questions

\n\n

How many tables do I need for a wedding?

\n

A 6ft round table seats up to 10 guests. Divide your guest count by 10 and add one or two spares for the top table, gift table, and buffer. Most wedding venues also need a few rectangular trestle tables for the buffet or cake display.

\n\n

Can I mix round and rectangular tables in the same order?

\n

Yes. You can combine any table types in a single order. A common setup is round banqueting tables for guest seating with rectangular trestle tables at the back of the room for food service.

\n\n

Do tables come with tablecloths?

\n

No — tablecloths are hired separately. We stock round and rectangular tablecloths in several colours to match our full table range.

\n\n

What is the minimum order?

\n

There is no minimum spend. You can hire a single table, or hundreds. Delivery is calculated by road distance from your nearest depot, starting from £40 ex-VAT.

\n\n

Do you deliver at weekends?

\n

Yes, seven days a week. No other hire company in the UK delivers and collects seven days a week. You can select your delivery and collection dates when you order online.
