CATERING EQUIPMENT HIRE - TABLEWARE HIRE SERVICES

Introduction
Making coffees in the middle of a field for a hundred or so cold club members armed with only an electric household kettle and no power supply will not make you a very popular club member. Providing catering and refreshments for large numbers of visitors or guests can throw up several unexpected problems, one of those being that in many cases the individual assigned with the daunting task of providing catering and refreshments does not have the suitable catering equipment or insufficient tableware for the event.

Making the best use of
Its surprising how many tableware items that will be required for an evening dinner party of fifty or so guests, glassware, cutlery, crockery, serving dishes, table linen and table decorations. That amounts to an awful lot of washing up after your guests have gone home. Luckily many catering equipment and tableware hire businesses provide a complete washing up and clearing up service as part of their catering equipment hire services.
How many do I need?
Deciding how many pieces of catering equipment or tableware items to hire can be complex and largely depends upon how many visitors or guest you expect to have at your event or function. Always talk to your chosen equipment hire business who will be able to advise and make suitable recommendations for your event or function. Some catering hire businesses offer a complete planning service which will ensure everything is covered.
Booking suggestions
Summer weddings, Christmas and new year celebrations can be busy times of the year for many catering equipment hire businesses, so always make your hire arrangements as early as possible to ensure availability of the catering items required. Hire charges are often applied on a per item, per day basis and may vary depending upon the required quantity of items and length of hire period. Security deposits are sometimes required along with insurance, delivery fees and other related services that may be offered.
