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.
