Plate & cutlery hire

Baberuth153

Hi there,

Just starting to think seriously about the catering for the big day. We are self catering and the food prep holds no fear.

As such I am looking in to plate and cutlery hire in the Wiltshire / Bristol area. Does any one know of a good firm? Or has any advice?

What is a reasonable price for delivery and pick up?

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not using them, but my friend used Platters Catering company for her wedding and for other events she has catered for. They're based in Andover so North Hampshire, but I think they're quite big and quite cheap!

You can usually do Glass hire from Morrisons (not sure if you have to buy drink from them too though)

We are getting our wine from Majestic France as that means we get free glass hire at Majectic UK! So just need plates and cultery.

Thanks for the links, I will look at them. So extra question - should I get coffee and tea cups for everyone (ie 100) or say 60 or so on the basis that some people won't have tea & coffee?

Personally I would think it is safer to cater for cups for all.

I agree that you should assume everyone will want tea or coffee, with the exception of children. Most people will accept an offer of one or the other after a meal, and it'd be awful if you didn't have enough cups to go round!
