Think of event tableware for hire in Manchester, and you’re probably already thinking of chinaware, cutlery and glassware for classic banquet table settings. A wedding reception, perhaps? Or maybe a gala dinner, a company’s annual awards night, or perhaps a VIP lounge at a football stadium.
Event tableware for hire in Manchester is always a popular choice, due to the sheer volume of events that take place in this vibrant city. With a population of over 500,000, Manchester has seen huge inward investment over recent years and, indeed, many large corporations such as the BBC, for instance, have relocated to these regenerated areas. Needless to say, therefore, that demand for event tableware for hire in Manchester is always in demand.
But that’s not where it ends. The world of event planning is a competitive one, with lots of professional caterers trying to win those big, lucrative catering contracts, where every little point of difference could, quite literally, be the difference between landing it, or not.
That’s why creative caterers seem to be successful. They are not interested in the ‘norm’. These creative professional caterers realise and understand that the more creative and innovative they can be with their food presentation, the more engaged their guests are likely to be with it. After all, people eat with their eyes first and foremost, and the food menus that your catering teams are producing surely deserve to be presented in the very best way possible. It’s important for us, therefore, to provide you with the best range of event tableware for hire at all times.
So, chinaware hire for food, cutlery for the act of eating, and glassware hire for drinking, right? Well, yes, the majority of the time, this is the obvious thing to do, but remember that there are no hard and fast rules here, so why not dare to be different!
That’s why, in today’s blog from the team at Event Hire UK, we’re putting forward our 5 best suggested ways to serve desserts with event tableware for hire in Manchester which, hopefully, might provide you with some inspiration for your next catering event. After all, “he who dares, wins!”
Made from double cream, sugar, lemon juice and zest, a lemon posset is a decadent dessert which deserves to be served in an innovative way. Our cocktail coupe is ideal for this type of dessert, with it’s relatively flat contours and ‘bowl’, offering easy access to the dessert, which you might also want to adorn with summer fruits, for example, to provide that burst of vibrant colour.
We’re not sure if you can beat a classic strawberry trifle with cream and custard in the summer, but in reality, the world is your oyster when it comes to trifles for event catering. How about a chocolate trifle, blueberry trifle or even a salted caramel brownie trifle. It has to be said that our mouths are watering just at the very mention of these delicious foods, which are sure to look even better when presented in a brandy glass, for example.
The sleek, smooth contours of the brandy glass makes it ideal for trifle, with its different layers, and so this may well be a great option when it comes to event tableware for hire at your next catering event!
Always a winner is a cheesecake, which again can be made in a huge variety of types, though it’s always a good idea to be guided by the time of year and what’s in season. Our water glasses for hire online here at Event Hire UK are perfect for serving cheesecakes, and they are also even available in a variety of colours if you really want to push the boat out. Get creative!
The classic straight-sided Martini glass is a lovely way to present the traditional Italian dessert, tiramisu. The word literally means “pick me up”, as in “cheer me up”, and is made predominantly from sponge cake, mascarpone and coffee. This chilled dessert is definitely a crowd-pleaser, and deserves to be served in an innovative and exciting way.
Can you actually go wrong with serving ice cream and summer fruits at a wedding, for instance? Well, maybe not, apart from the fact that it might melt! Serve it quickly in our vintage cut glass whisky, though, and you’ll be onto a winner. Cut glass provides an opulence and elegance which is great for not just mobile bar hire events, but also for professional caterers serving desserts!
