Crockery

Crockery hire is one of the cornerstones of what we do at Expo Hire Bristol & Avon. 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?

From our years of experience of delivering crockery hire to Bristol and the surrounding area we've learned that washing up isn't only a boring chore, it's the time when crockery is most likely to get broken while on hire.

It's for this reason we have made it compulsory for all crockery products to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All we ask from our customers 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?

It’s easier than ever to find out the delivery and collection costs to and from your venue for event hire. Tap the Expo Hire Bristol & Avon logo from any page on the website to be taken to the homepage where you will find our carriage calculator button. Enter your postcode into the clever widget and not only will it tell you what the carriage cost is to that venue but also which of our websites is closest so that you don’t pay any more than you should.

You’ll also find a list of all our possible extra surcharges on that page. If applicable, these are confirmed in the checkout once you have confirmed your delivery address along with dates of delivery and collection. They’re itemised in full before you make payment so that there are no nasty surprises, and you know exactly what you are paying for.
