Glassware

We’ve put together a huge range of glasses for hire to help ensure all your needs are met.

What ranges of glassware hire are there?

There are five predominant ranges of glassware hire available from us.

The most commonly hire glasses are our wine glasses for hire. We have a range of sizes to suit any wines, with both standard and crystal versions available. For wine tasters we stock specialist ISO glasses to ensure the highest standards.

Our champagne glasses for hire are perfect for toasting any occasion. We have saucers and flutes available so you can choose the style which best suits you.

For ale drinkers we have a selection of beer glasses in both pint and half pint versions. There are older fashioned panelled mugs for those who like a traditional touch, and the more contemporary pilsner glasses for those looking for something more modern.

Our cocktail glasses are great for cocktail parties and functions. We’ve got a selection of styles so you have the right type of glass for the right mixed drink.

While there the plainest of glasses, the humble tumbler are also one of the most versatile. We have a huge quantity of these in stock for even the largest event.

We also stock speciality glasses for liqueurs, aperitifs and coffee.

Does glassware need to be cleaned prior to collection?

One thing we've learned from our experience of glassware hire is that most glass breakages occur not while people are using them, but when they are cleaning them.

It's because of this we have made it compulsory for all glassware items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All a customer needs to do when they repack glassware ready for collection is make sure it's free of food debris and liquid.

How does glassware hire delivery work?

All of our glasses are cleaned and checked prior to dispatch in specialised crates. While every attempt is made to ensure that our glasses arrive in great condition, accidents in transit can occur and we recommend that a few extra are ordered to prevent against unexpected eventualities ruining your event. Please ensure all glasses are free of food debris and liquids prior to their return.
