Kitchenside China Hire
Terms and Conditions
What you need to know before hiring
We have a fabulous selection of vintage china and some more neutral pieces too. We are flexible allowing you to hire as little or as much as you need. You can also mix and match items.
All our bone china is in the best quality for its age, we do not hire out any china with chips or cracks. However because of its age and use one of the pattern may have worn off and there can be some crazing. We do offer a pre hire viewing, so if you have an idea in mind of what you would like to hire but would like to see it first then we can arrange this.
