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.

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 for hire is washed, sterilised, hand-finished, precisely counted, and packed to ensure 100% accuracy in every order.
We have our dishwashers, water softeners, and Reverse Osmosis Water Filters 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.
