Crockery

Crockery hire is one of the cornerstones of what we do at Expo Hire London. We keep large quantities in stock to cater to even the largest of functions.

What kinds of crockery hire are there?

There are four main kinds of crockery hire we have available.

Plates and platters are the most common pieces of crockery hire we have available on our site. These range from small plates for bread to huge platters for buffet service.

For those serving soups, salads and puddings bowls are essential. These come in a range of shapes and sizes to meet your requirements.

Cups and saucers are essential for those who are offering tea and coffee. We offer standard size regular cups for those who are sticking with the basics, along with espresso and cappuccino cups for those who want a more upmarket offering.

We also stock a wide range of service crockery options like cake stands for more specialised events and functions.

Do I have to clean crockery hire before it is collected?

Cleaning crockery is not only a bothersome chore, but it is the main reason why any crockery gets broken while out on hire.

For this reason, we have made it compulsory for all crockery items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All we ask is that food debris is scraped off plates, bowls etc and all liquids are emptied out prior to repacking ready for collection.

How does delivery of crockery hire work?

Worried about delivery costs for your event hire? It’s easy to find out exactly how much they are by using our carriage calculator. Simply tap the Expo Hire London logo to be taken to the homepage where you’ll find a button for the carriage calculator. Enter your venue postcode in and not only will our clever widget give you the cost of delivery and collection, but it will confirm which of our websites is best to order from so you don’t overpay.

You’ll also find a list of all possible surcharges on that page. If any of these are applicable, they are confirmed in the checkout once you have reconfirmed your delivery address and dates and are itemised in full so there are no nasty surprises before you pay.
