We would definitely recommend Plato.
My order was small and at late notice, the staff were extremely helpful when getting my quote and accepting the quote.
Glasses themselves were in immaculate condition and the delivery to my offices was all good. When contacting the company, they were always happy to help and efficient in answering my queries.
Thank you!
With it been my first big event i asked for an earlier drop, so that i could check the power supply to the barn, which helped put my mind at rest. Once again thank you for delivering a great service.
You could tell they loved what they do, they'r job satisfaction shone from both of them, which I feel speaks volumes about a company and how they treat their employees. The website is so easily to use and the prices are beyond reasonable. Plato took all of the hard work out of my event and meant that I could really enjoy it myself without becoming stressed. I would highly recommend them to anybody from the most tiny gathering to a mass event, they are capable and beyond professional, and I will be using Plato every time going forward. Thank you so very much guys!!
We have used them for many years, impeccable service and quality crockery and glassware hire..
Well recommended!
Very professional, efficient and friendly and helpful communications.
We were holding a Street Party and everything arrived on time, was in good condition and again was collected on time.
Thank you
