Time and time again Ian has been a fantastic help to my catering company. He has always helped me out with any questions that I have had and has always come up trumps when we have a last minute booking. Reliable, trustworthy and throughly professional - Caterhire are a company I cannot recommend highly enough.

Report
I own a catering company and we've been using Cater Hire Services as our equipment supplier since we started eight years ago. Their crockery, cutlery and glassware is of a very high quality, and they have an extensive range of kitchen equipment. If there's anything we need that they don't have Ian and his team go out of their way to source it for us. They are reliable and friendly and always willing to go the extra mile.
