Crockery

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

We know that washing up crockery isn't the nicest thing to do the day after a big event - but did you know that this is when crockery is most likely to get broken while out on hire?

It's because of this we have made it mandatory for all crockery items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. The only thing we ask of our customers is that food debris is scraped off plates and bowls etc and that all liquids are emptied out before crockery is packed up ready for collection.
