Event Hire for The Battleaxes, Wraxall
Organising a reception at this Wraxall country inn requires specific furniture and equipment. Your Battleaxes wedding hire checklist dictates the mood of the room, from the seating arrangements to the table settings. Event planners book this North Somerset venue for its relaxed atmosphere and countryside charm. Supplying the right commercial grade items helps you match the character of the building without relying on standard hotel function room aesthetics. Professional organisers understand that the right infrastructure supports the entire day, from the ceremony through to the evening party.
Selecting seating forms the foundation of your room layout. The Chiavari chair brings a traditional profile to formal dining spaces. Gold or silver finishes add formality, while natural wood frames complement the rural setting. Planners wanting a rustic aesthetic choose the Cross Back chair in oak to match the exposed brickwork and timber features of the venue. You might also specify the Wishbone chair for a distinct shape that photographs well during the speeches. Expo Hire stocks thousands of chairs in our EventProu00ae own-brand line. We design these items specifically for the rigorous demands of the commercial hire trade.
Dining formats dictate your table selection. Round 6ft circular banqueting tables seat up to ten guests and encourage conversation during the meal. Long banquet setups require 18ft trestle tables to create continuous dining rows. Fabric choices finish the dining space. Tablecloths provide the base layer for your centrepieces, while matching or contrasting napkins complete the place settings. Sourcing your table hire and linen from a single supplier reduces the number of deliveries arriving at the venue on setup day.
Serving a formal breakfast requires substantial tableware quantities. You need matching plates and cutlery for every course. Drinks receptions demand specific vessels for different beverages. Wine glasses and champagne flutes handle the toasts. Evening parties benefit from beer glasses and cocktail glasses for the main bar. Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service on all crockery, cutlery, and glassware. You pack the items away unwashed after the reception, and our warehouse team handles the cleaning. This saves your catering staff hours of washing up late at night.
Running an independent bar service requires dedicated infrastructure. We supply modular bar counters and bar stools to create a focal point for evening drinks. Organisers also hire bar equipment and accessories to equip their bar staff with the right tools for high-volume service. Setting up a professional bar area keeps the drinks flowing and prevents bottlenecks forming near the main entrance or dance floor.
Summer receptions often utilise the outdoor spaces at the venue. Outdoor furniture gives guests a place to sit during afternoon drinks. Weather conditions in North Somerset change rapidly. Adding gazebo hire to your order provides shelter from rain or shade from direct sunlight, keeping the outdoor areas usable throughout the day. Sturdy outdoor seating prevents guests from dragging indoor dining chairs outside onto the grass or patio areas.
Independent caterers working at the venue need reliable appliances. Supplying a full menu requires commercial catering equipment. Chefs hire cooking equipment to prepare hot food on site. Storing ingredients safely requires fridges and freezers. Managing service times for large guest numbers relies on warming equipment to hold dishes at food-safe temperatures. You can even specify BBQ equipment for informal evening food service. Sourcing all your catering appliances from one depot simplifies your logistics.
Creating breakout zones gives guests a place to rest away from the dance floor. Sofas and lounge furniture or casual bean bags establish informal seating areas in adjacent rooms. Evening receptions benefit from LED furniture, adding illuminated seating and tables that match your colour scheme. Providing comfortable seating away from the main dining area keeps older guests comfortable while the evening entertainment takes place.
Coordinating deliveries for a large event requires precision. Expo Hire operates 11 regional depots across the country, calculating delivery from £40 based on the road distance to Wraxall. You receive a live vehicle tracking link and an SMS ETA on the morning of your delivery. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental scratches or minor breakages without requiring a security deposit. This waiver applies to all furniture hire and tableware, protecting your budget from unexpected replacement costs.
