Grand hotels and conference centres across South Devon host awards dinners, exhibitions, and corporate retreats throughout the year. Supplying tables and chairs for these large-scale gatherings forms a core part of our daily operations. You can select from round banqueting tables for formal dining or rectangular trestle tables for collaborative work zones. We stock the EventPro® range, featuring furniture we design specifically for the hire trade rather than retail use. This commercial-grade equipment withstands heavy use at major venues like the Riviera International Conference Centre. You never pay a security deposit, and we offer a 25% advance deposit option on orders over £1,000 to help manage large event budgets. Our client list includes the BBC, ITV, HSBC, and Cambridge University, demonstrating our capacity to handle high-profile corporate requirements.

Coastal locations attract outdoor garden parties, seaside festivals, and private celebrations. We stock outdoor furniture, including patio sets and picnic benches, alongside gazebos that provide shelter from unpredictable coastal weather. Summer gatherings often feature our commercial BBQs. Weddings at rustic barn conversions or formal seaside hotels demand specific setups. We supply the necessary equipment to equip these spaces, delivering everything from folding chairs to atmospheric lighting. You track your delivery on the day with live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA, giving you exact arrival times for your site setup. This real-time tracking operates by order number and postcode, keeping your site managers informed while they coordinate other suppliers.

Historic manor houses and boutique hotels in Cockington, Ashburton, and Newton Abbot host distinct gatherings. These heritage venues call for classic styling. We stock banqueting chairs with polished wood finishes and tablecloths in rich fabrics. Smaller community halls and private homes also require quality hire items for intimate gatherings. Film shoots and local sporting events rely on our temporary seating, sturdy barriers, and hospitality units. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental scratches or minor wear during your event. No other UK hire company offers this standard protection. This waiver applies automatically to your basket, protecting you from unexpected charges for minor scuffs on chair legs or small chips in glassware.

Seated meals at weddings and gala dinners require specific seating styles. You can hire Chiavari chairs in gold or limewash finishes to match traditional decor. The Wishbone chair presents a contemporary alternative, bringing a minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic to modern dining spaces. Our 6ft round banqueting tables seat up to 10 guests, facilitating conversation during formal meals. Drinks receptions and networking sessions function better with poseur tables and bar stools. These taller setups create an informal atmosphere that encourages guests to mingle. We also supply bistro tables and trestle tables for buffet stations, registration desks, and breakout areas. You can configure these rectangular tables into long banquet runs or U-shaped conference layouts, depending on your floor plan.

Beverage service relies on appropriate glassware. We stock crystal-clear wine glasses for formal dinners and standard tumblers for casual drinks. You return all glassware, along with our crockery and cutlery, completely unwashed. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service includes all cleaning, saving your catering team hours of post-event labour. Dressing your dining space requires quality linen hire. We stock tablecloths and napkins in multiple colours to match your corporate branding or wedding theme. Corporate functions often require exhibition furniture, including upright chairs for presentations and functional desks for registration areas. Independent caterers and venue managers hire our bar equipment, from ice buckets and cocktail shakers to sleek bar counters. We supply commercial fridges to chill beverages and cooking equipment like ovens and hot cupboards for food preparation.

Commercial catering equipment for independent chefs

Equipping a temporary kitchen demands reliable appliances. We supply independent caterers and hospitality managers with heavy-duty ovens, six-burner ranges, and hot cupboards. You can set up a fully functional prep area in a marquee or an empty hall using our stainless steel prep tables and mobile sink units. Storing perishable ingredients requires consistent temperature control, which our double-door display fridges and chest freezers provide. We test all electrical and gas equipment before dispatch, delivering items ready for immediate use. Your chefs can focus entirely on food preparation rather than worrying about equipment reliability. Returning these items requires no deep cleaning on your part; empty the units and wipe away loose debris before our collection team arrives.

Equipping trade shows and corporate conferences

Trade shows and industry exhibitions require specific furniture hire items to accommodate vendors and attendees. We supply shell scheme furniture, including lockable counters, literature racks, and display cabinets. You can equip breakout rooms with our linking conference chairs, keeping rows neat and compliant with fire safety regulations. Registration areas function best with our modular reception desks and rope barriers to manage queue flow. We hold large quantities of these items in stock, allowing us to supply major events without relying on third-party sub-hiring. You manage your entire order through our online portal, adding or removing items as your attendee numbers fluctuate.

Evening events in coastal locations often face dropping temperatures. You can hire patio heaters to warm your guests and extend the duration of your outdoor gathering. Informal catering setups benefit from our commercial BBQs, allowing chefs to prepare food directly in front of attendees. We supply the grills alongside essential serving accessories, including chafing dishes that hold food at safe temperatures. Professional organisers rely on our torquay event hire | tables, chairs & more | expo hire inventory to source all these components from a single supplier. We operate 11 regional depots across England and Wales, enabling next-day delivery across most of the country. Prices and live stock levels display directly on our website.
