We stock a variety of ranges of tableware for hire, which are elegant and decorative, and our tableware has been specifically chosen to compliment each other to fit in with your event inspo and create a beautiful display.

Our classic crockery to pair with this is the Precision white fine dining china. This dinnerware is high-end and will certainly leave your guests talking long after the event. Another huge and current event trend is the rustic theme. For your rustic themed event, embrace the rugged and natural beauty with an earthy palette. We hire rustic tables made by hand, crossback chairs, rustic plates, copper and gold cutlery. We’ve gathered some event inspiration to get you started.     Here is our handy guide for choosing the right size tables for your event.
A very common question to our team is: What size table do I need? Round Tables: 6ft Circular Tables seats 10-12 Guests 5ft 6" Circular tables seats 9-11 Guests 5ft Circular tables seats 8-10 Guests 4ft Circular Tables seats 6-8 Guests 3ft Circular tables seats 2-4 Guests Trestle Tables: 6ft Trestle tables seat 6-8 Guests (3 or 4 on each side) 4ft Trestle tables seat 4-6 Guests (2 or 3 on each side) 3ft Trestle tables seat 2-4 Guests (1 or 2 on each side) The question that follows this is: How many tables can I fit into my room? We would recommend adding a minimum of 3ft to any round tables diameter to allow enough space for your guests to get in and out of their seat. For measuring round tables into your room, it is easier to make a square measurement, so for example, if you wanted to hire a 5ft Circular table, we would recommend measuring a 8ft x 8ft Square. The same calculation applies for the trestle tables, so you should add 3ft to both the length and the width of the table, for example for a 6ft x 2ft 6" Trestle table, you should measure a space of 9ft x 5ft 6". Please feel free to contact our team if you require any further assistance, we're happy to help!  We hope you have all enjoyed the festive period and have raised a glass or two in celebration of Christmas & the New Year, (not forgetting all the parties that go on around them!)
Now as we settle into 2017, it’s time to get busy planning for the year ahead, with all the weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate events, charity afternoon tea’s and so on coming up! We always recommend booking in advance, and you have time to tweak an order your guest list numbers go up or down. Particularly in the warmer months of May, June, July and August our diaries do get full, so any provisional orders will get the ball rolling. Remember that there is no minimum order, so if it is a tea for 20 or a wedding of 200, you can always expect the highest level of customer care, and as always, we are here & happy to help if you have any questions about hiring equipment. Our combined experience at Apple Catering Hire can assist with any queries you may have, from which glasses are best suited to the drinks you are serving, to what cloths will fit your tables and seating plans. So, here’s to a great year ahead of us full of parties and celebrations! First of all, we hope you sang that title, and we hope you sang it out loud (Step aside Mariah Carey, this is the tune for 'All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth'. Now, it’s not too late to order your Christmas hire for the special day. We know it’s a drag when you’re stuffed, about to hit the sofa with a festive baileys in hand.

All you have to do is remove any surplus food, then pop the items back into the boxes provided ready for collection, it’s as easy as that. Think about the extra time you can spend with your loved ones watching endless festive films!

We may count ourselves lucky for all of the places we get to see, check out some of our photos of us on Trafalgar Square in central London, and at the gorgeous Copped Hall in Epping (http://coppedhalltrust.org.uk/) Our vans all have their own name at Apple Catering Hire, it started so that we could identify each van for loading and delivery purposes, and now, well, we just like it. So we have Fiona (featured in our photos here), Murtle and Betty. Murtle is due to undergo a logo makeover soon as she is the baby, and will become a real part of the family! We cover all areas in rain or sunshine, day or night. Luckily for us, this week (and the weeks from the photos) we were enjoying the shine, shine shine! Maybe we'll keep the more typical English weather (*cough* miserable clouds and rain *cough*) photos to ourselves.

Ok, so it can be confusing when it comes to ordering your tablecloths on trestle tables, round tables and all the shapes you can make in between! So we are here to help with the headache with a basic guide, based on our table sizes: Mid-way, standard tablecloth guide: So this is pretty straight forward, If you have guests that are sitting around the tables to eat, it is best to have a cloth that sits about half or two thirds of the way down, so nobody trips or gets caught up on an overhanging cloth on the floor. 6ft Trestle Tables - 70"x108" 4ft Trestle Tables - 70"x70" 3ft Trestle Tables - 70"x70" or 54"x54" 6ft Round Tables - 120" Round 5ft Round Tables - 106" Round 4ft Round Tables - 90" Round 3ft Round - 70" Round Long tablecloths 'To the floor': This look is becoming ever popular to have the tablecloths right down to the ground, so none of the table legs are on show. Some of the cloths do reach the ground, and you can tuck them under, and some hover just above. The trestle tables are often used as Bars with a black tablecloth, and you can use a large tablecloth to cover the bar so that you can store bottles/ glasses/ bins underneath. 6ft Trestle Tables - 90"x144" 4ft Trestle Tables - 70"x108" 3ft Trestle Tables - 90"x90" 6ft Round Tables - 130" Round 5ft Round Tables - 120" Round 4ft Round Tables - 106" Round 3ft Round - 90" Round |
