Crockery

Crockery hire is one of the cornerstones of what we do at Expo Hire East Midlands. 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?

The thought of cleaning crockery hire the day after a big event is not a thought that pleases many people. However, washing up isn't just a bothersome chore; it's actually the time when crockery is most likely to be broken while on hire.

It's for this reason we have no choice but to make it compulsory for all crockery items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. This means all our customers need to do when returning their crockery is to make sure it's free of food debris and liquid and repacked ready for collection.

How does delivery of crockery hire work?

We’ve made it easier than ever to find out quickly the cost of delivery and collection of your event hire. Tap the Expo Hire East Midlands logo from any page on our website to be taken to the homepage, where you will find our carriage calculator button. All you then need to do is to enter your delivery postcode to find out not only how much carriage will cost, but also which website is closest to you, so you don’t pay any more than you need to.

There is also a list of all possible extra charges on that page. If applicable, these are confirmed in the checkout once you have confirmed all address and date details. This way you can see exactly what you are being charged for before you make payment.
