We have a generous cancellation policy in place that allows you to cancel your event up to 7 days before delivery for free. We also have created a COVID-19 cancellation policy, helping make planning events at this time easier. If the government change restrictions to mean you can no longer legally do you event, you can cancel up until the day before the event with just a small £25 admin fee (as per our T&C).

Deposits are standard in the hire industry. They are held whilst goods are on hire to protect against any damage or loss.

As soon as possible. Even if you still need to make some changes or don’t have the final items, it would be best to at least reserve your delivery slots. Some items on your quote could just be a couple of bookings away from being out of stock. We wouldn’t want to let you down if you confirm closer to your event.

This covers you for minor damage of the items on hire (scratches, marks, etc.), protecting the hirer against charges from just normal wear and tear.

This covers for the use of our professional cleaning equipment. All our catering equipment is professional cleaned before and after each hire, all you need to do it wipe/rinse off any food and put back into the provided catering boxes.

Economy is the best value, it gives us a bigger window to deliver in and therefore can make the route as efficient as possible. We usually would deliver the day before your event and collect the day after.
Morning, midday, or afternoon are slightly more expensive than economy but give you a better idea when to expect our arrival.
Specific is for when you have a tight event schedule and need it arriving at a set time. This is charged at a premium, the wider the window given the cheaper it is.
Self-collection/Self-Return is the free option, for when you can arrange your own transport from our warehouse at Unit 13 Cranford way, London, N8 9DG. We can arrive any time within the delivery window, so please be mindful that this works for you and considers your set up time.

Delivery routes are not finalised until the day before delivery. You can contact our logistics team the day before delivery for an ETA. Drivers will endeavor to give a call ahead 30 minutes before arrival on the day of delivery or collection. This can not be guaranteed due to poor phone signal or no answer

We can set up and dismantle items but this is a bespoke service and is not as standard, you would need to inform us before delivery of what is required and our team can assist you.

As long as everything went well during the hire (as per our T&C), your deposit will be refunded back to your account within 5-10 working days. For any assistance you can contact our finance team.
