Vintage China Hire Devon

The Vintage Party Company - Devon
Vintage is the buzz word and has been for a couple of years now.  It's all about having an appreciation for anything over the age of 25 years old.  Whether it's household items, clothing or even food vintage has filled a gap.


Holding a themed event can be so much fun.  This year (2012) there are many street parties and events taking place for the Queen's Jubilee, but also we have been asked to supply china for Titanic themed events.  This can be incredibly difficult as we purposely don't rent out 100 year old china as it's so thin and likely to crack when just looked at, we now only use it for photo-shoots for magazines.  However, we do have some lovely pieces dating from about 1940 to 1970 in various colours and styles.  The china is more stable and less likely to crack when warmed up with tea - which is the biggest mistake people make, pouring in very hot tea into very old china.

China Sandwich plates and Cake Stands

Our 2 and 3 tier cake stands are all originals and not put together with the wrong style of plate, for example we see a lot of sandwich plates made into tiered by using a spare plate and even a saucer!  Would you expect to be served on a tiered stand like this in the Ritz or Dorchester?  Of course you wouldn't.

Vintage China Trios in Pinks are ideal for weddings

So, if you are looking for vintage china hire in Devon, we can cater for up to 150 people at an event and we can also provide a vintage style buffet or afternoon tea, waiting staff and props.  We are a professional event company with years of experience in the hotel and retail trade and can also offer Silver Service if required.

Vintage Valentine Party - February 14th

With Valentine's Day only round the corner why not treat your loved one to a Vintage Valentines Tea Party. A Vintage Valentine Party is a super way of celebrating an intimate afternoon tea together with lovely food, and romantic music, or if you like party atmosphere why not extend your invitations to friends and family. To make it more fun choose an era and all dress for that time period, for example: Titanic and Downton Abbey, Board Walk Empire/Prohibition of the 1920s and 1930s, Miss Marple and tea in St Mary Mead, VE day, Darling Buds of May, and so on. If you cannot hold your party on Valentine's Day hold it on the Saturday or Sunday before or after. These are spiffing days for parties and if you have an afternoon party it gives you time to recover from too much tea drinking (ahem!) if you are due back in work the following day - perfick!


We can supply you with decorations, vintage china, silver ware, candelabras, sandwiches and cakes. We will deliver the day before if you are supplying your own food, or on the day if we are supplying your food, and collect the day after. You will not be expected to clean the hired items, we will do this for you after collection for no extra charge. You will also need to decide if you require the china to be matching, all one pattern and colourway, or mis-matched, which is the most popular and more fun.


For a party of 8, (or 4 couples) we supply just the right amount of crockery, decorations and suitable tableware for £7.95 per person and you supply your own food. You will be hiring the following:
8 x cups, saucers, teaplates
8 savoury knives
8 dessert forks
8 teaspoons
2 milk jugs
1 sugar bowl & tongs
2 large teapots (6-8 cups in each)
2 large sandwich plates
1 single tier cake place
2 two tier cakes stands
1 tablecloth & 8 napkins
1 metal jug for flowers (you supply the red roses!)
1 candelabra


If you would like us to supply finger sandwiches and cakes for your guests the price is £10 per person.
We usually supply two types of finger sandwiches, you can choose from:
Salmon & Cream Cheese
Cucumber
Egg Mayo & Cress
Ham & Mustard


You can choose from two of the following cakes:
Victoria Sponge
Lemon Drizzle Cake
Fruit Loaf
Scones, Jam & Clotted Cream


We can also supply champagne, Belgian chocolates, iced cup cakes, and other luxuries at additional costs if required and depending on your budget vintage games, outdoor ludo, croquet and chess, background music of the era you have chosen, plus ideas for table gifts for your guests. We also have staff available to wait on you at extra costs. They will be dressed in vintage style black with white pinnies and will serve, clean up and remove all hired items on the day charged at an hourly rate.


Please Note: The above prices do not include delivery or breakages insurance which are part of our standard Terms and Conditions.
