Crockery Hire A complete range of crockery for hire

Crockery hire delivering throughout Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds and West Midlands.

We’ve been coming together to join in the ceremony of eating for centuries, and it seems no matter how far back you look, eating in groups is built into our DNA.

Events like weddings, parties, and celebrations are nearly always centred around a communal meal where everyone comes together to dine. It’s a big part of socialising.

Hire by Collection

Crockery hire for all occasions

Whether you’re hosting a grand occasion such as a wedding, or product launch, or a milestone celebration, the importance of the right tableware cannot be overstated. With our extensive experience in the event hire industry, we understand the intricate role that crockery hire plays in enhancing the dining experience. From plates and bowls to cups, saucers, and essential accessories like milk jugs, salt and pepper shakers, and bread baskets, we have you covered.

Consider your meal plan

From organising a meal at home, right up to planning a large event like a wedding, product launch, or even a celebration like a 50th birthday or anniversary, it needs to be done right. There’s a lot of tradition with food and wine and how we consume them.

Crockery is a key part of this, and unless you’re planning to eat off the ground or from blocks of wood like a gastropub trying too hard to impress, you’ll need plates, bowls, cups, saucers, vegetable dishes, and, of course, the milk jug, salt and pepper shaker and breadbasket.

The crockery you’ll need to hire for your event will be determined by the meal you plan. You’ll also need to consider the reception canapésevening buffet (weddings mostly) and the tea and coffee session. At Plato Hire, we can cover all those options and more.

We’ve been involved in the event hire industry for over two decades and have been hiring and delivering crockery to Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds and West Midlands with the highest level of service possible.

Our commitment to quality and reliability is reflected in every piece of crockery we offer, from the sturdiness required to withstand the demands of event catering to the elegance needed for high-end presentations. This focus on excellence in our crockery collection makes Plato Catering Hire an integral partner for caterers who prioritise creating memorable dining experiences. We understand that the success of an event and the reputation of a caterer often hinge on these fine details, and that’s why we are dedicated to providing crockery that caterers can trust for every occasion.

Spotless hygienic wash results for event-ready catering equipment hire

Just think about how many events a single plate, knife, or fork takes part in. When hired from a catering equipment hire company, they’ll have passed through the hands of thousands of people. That’s why maintaining impeccable hygiene is our top priority. 

We ensure every item, whether used at an event or not, is meticulously cleaned using state-of-the-art Winterhalter and Meiko industrial dishwashers to ensure optimal cleaning and sanitisation. Each plate, glass, and piece of cutlery is hand-polished, hand-finished, and packed, ready to grace your table without any need for additional polishing.

Our commitment to quality means every glass is individually polished and inspected for marks and chips before repacking. Similarly, our cutlery is washed, sterilised, hand-finished, precisely counted, and packed to ensure 100% accuracy in every order.

Our hireable dishwashers, water softeners and Reverse Osmosis Water Filters are regularly checked and serviced by qualified engineers to guarantee they operate at peak efficiency and adhere to industry standards for hygiene, water treatment, chemical use, and configuration.

Our dishwashers are continually checked and monitored to confirm industry-standard wash and rinse cycle temperatures.
