When it comes to corporate event dining occasions, the quality of your tableware rental for events has to be top drawer. No ifs, no buts.
The quality of your tableware rental for events is seen up close and personal by your guests, many of whom are clients, shareholders, VIPs and other dignitaries. You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.
Tableware rental for events is like anything else – bad news travels fast, so if the quality of your tableware isn’t up to it, then this will seriously impact on the enjoyment of your event for your guests. The knock-on effect of this could potentially be disastrous.
When we talk about tableware rental for events, we’re talking chinaware, crockery, cutlery and other equipment. In other words, whatever you use for dressing your event dining tables, whether it is for your individual table settings or in the middle of the tables such as butter dishes, salt and pepper pots, glass cloches and other equipment – it all falls under the category of tableware rental for events.
Here at Event Hire UK, we have one of the most extensive ranges of tableware hire for events available anywhere in the country, and in the quantities needed to be able to service multiple events at the same time. Working with high profile, prestigious events means that we have to get it right, all the time!
It’s often difficult to choose the items which are most popular, especially in a busy summer when it’s all hands on deck! However, we’ve pulled off the data from our system to bring you the top 5 tableware rental items this year so far, which may or may not help you with your decision-making process when the time comes for you to select tableware rental for events. Let’s have a look…
Gold cutlery hire is proving to be popular this year, especially with professional caterers in London, building on its popularity since its launch with us back in 2019. Yes, there is a still a place for stainless steel cutlery in the market, and we have a number of different ranges of this available in different styles and at different price points, providing something for everyone.
Typically, stainless steel cutlery represents the affordable cutlery hire section of the market, whilst things have developed over time to cutlery with a point of difference, such as the Allure gold cutlery hire range and even the Enamor copper cutlery range, which represent what we’d class as luxury cutlery hire. They are popular for this reason – that they provide something different to the norm, and in the competitive world of professional catering, this is certainly not something to be ignored.
There are plenty of your competition all vying for those lucrative catering contracts, and so whatever you can do to stand out from the crowd is going to be worthwhile, even if it does cost you a little more. From your menu, the quality of your ingredients and your service staff through to the quality of your tableware rental for events, it’s the combination of all these elements coming together which will help define the success (or not) of your commercial catering event.
Yes, luxury tableware hire only plays a small part in this, but it’s an important part nevertheless. The Allure gold cutlery range has a highly polished gold finish and comprises all the components you would expect in a cutlery hire range, including a table knife and fork, starter / dessert knife and fork, gold dessert spoon and matching tea spoon to complete the set.
In a similar vein, our range of Mattone crockery is another example of a popular range of chinaware due to its point of difference. Yes, plain white china is still popular in the affordable crockery hire sector, but invest a little more, and you’ll get what you pay for – luxury crockery hire for events.
If you’re striving to stand out in a crowded market, then Mattone crockery is for you, bringing you coloured crockery which also has a textured and patterned finish, providing your catering team with a great backdrop for their food creations. You can certainly make your food look incredible with Mattone dinner bowls, dinner plates and matching side plates, all of which are available right here online at Event Hire UK.
Event glassware hire is also an area where it’s a dangerous game to try and cut corners. The last thing you want when hiring glassware such as wine glasses and Champagne flutes is for them to arrive with lipstick marks on them, or covered in dust, for example.
Look for a matching glassware set as part of your tableware rental for events requirements list, which is well priced and a cut above the basic ranges. The Invitation glassware range, therefore, is a great option for London catering events, offering style and quantities at a super price point. These matching wine and Champagne glasses are well worth your consideration, and are again providing to be one of our most popular lines.
You’re probably starting to spot the theme here in our list, as charger plate hire is perhaps not the first item you’d think to add to your tableware rental for events list. However, when trying to differentiate your event from the masses, why not hire charger plates to frame your dinner plates and really elevate your dining event to the next level. We have charger plates with either a platinum or gold outer, as well as gold and silver beaded glass plates, offering a point of difference for your event dining tables.
And finally, some crockery that has grown in popularity since its launch a couple of years ago, and which is now a stand-out performer for many events nationwide. Coloured stoneware plates bring something different to the party, offering you a heavyweight plate with a unique design in an unusual colour. These plates are ideal for when you don’t want to serve your menu on simply plain white chinaware!
