“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Abbotts for the past two years, and they have consistently exceeded expectations across every aspect of their service. Their support has been instrumental in the successful delivery of our events.

What truly sets Abbotts apart is their reliability, professionalism, and exceptional customer service. The team is incredibly personable and approachable—nothing is ever too much trouble. Suzanne, in particular, goes above and beyond, handling orders and my many changes, and even helping with deliveries to ensure everything runs smoothly. Rich has also been outstanding, stepping in with fast, effective solutions when we’ve faced supplier issues—always sourcing the right equipment at short notice.

We first encountered Abbotts at Glastonbury, where they supplied equipment to one of our chefs. We were so impressed by the quality and efficiency of their service that we asked them to support our biggest site. That initial engagement quickly evolved into a broader partnership, and Abbotts are now our sole supplier across all four of our sites.

From their well-organised setups to their equally seamless pack-downs, the Abbotts team continues to impress. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

Lympstone Manor

“We are proud to partner with Abbotts Event Hire for our larger-scale premium events. Their high-quality catering equipment and reliable service help us deliver exceptional experiences for our guests every time. We enjoy working with the Abbotts team – they are always professional, accommodating, and a pleasure to collaborate with.”

The Tartan Fox

“Abbotts has been right by our side since the beginning of our journey into weddings and events. We opened our doors in August 2021, in the middle of the summer madness, and from day one, they were there to help and keen to deliver the high-quality services they are clearly so passionate about.

The team’s wide range of products and services has catered for small, intimate weddings, large-scale events of up to 150 guests, and everything in between. They have also been instrumental in working with us for our new venture, The Tartan Fox, which has been hosting feasting nights, often requiring larger-scale kitchen equipment. We have to thank the team that deals with us directly, Rich and Suzanne, who always accommodate us (even with the occasional last-minute orders!).”

Park House Opera

“Since having the crazy idea to host Duchy Opera in our garden in 2021, complete with dinner and drinks, Abbotts have been there for us every step of the way. We are already planning for our fifth year in 2025, and in that time we have fed and entertained almost 3,000 guests over 15 wonderful nights. Every aspect of the booking, admin, delivery, and take-down is a breeze with such a professional and willing team, and the quality of the furniture, crockery, catering equipment etc. is terrific. See you at parkhouseopera.com in 2025!” – Full Case Study Here

Abbotts were a massive help when I got a last minute event booking, with very specific glassware requirements. The online hire system was easy to use, with a member of staff contacting very quickly to confirm details. I was able to collect the same day. Friendly and helpful staff and a great service

I've used Abbotts event hire not only for my own wedding but also for other couples that I organise their wedding for. Their service is always exceptional and their rentals are of a really good quality. For our wedding we used them for all our crockery, cutlery and glassware at North Cadbury Court. They delivered the items efficiently and as expected which made it super easy for us. We had so many moving parts to our set up and breakdown that their timeliness was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend their service to any couples looking for reliable rentals and supplies.

Absolutely brilliant team to work with. We had all our crockery and glassware hired through Abbotts. They were so responsive and lovely to deal with and helped us pull together a last minute glass order. Could not recommend Abbotts any more highly

We held our wedding at a Devon venue where we had to hire quite a lot in. The team were really helpful and flexible about my ever expanding list of things we needed to add to our order. The take away dirty service is really helpful and the kind collection team gave us plenty of time to scour the venue for missing glasses to make sure we got our deposit back. Thank you!

We hired cutlery, napkins, chairs, a fridge trailer and more from Abbotts Event Hire, and they were absolutely amazing! Suzanne in particular was fantastic – she was always quick to respond, incredibly helpful and flexible, and made the whole process so easy. Even with short notice requests, nothing was too much trouble. When we later found items we had forgotten about while clearing up, the team kindly went out of their way to collect them without any fuss. From start to finish, the customer service was excellent and they were a real pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I hired tables for a Charity Christmas Fayre. Delivered when they said they would. Good quality tables. Communication with the company was excellent. Would definitely use again and most certainly would recommend them to others. 10/10

We used Abbotts for our wedding recently in Cornwall at Bocconoc. We hire all of our tables, chairs, catering equipment, refrigerated trailer, napkins, crockery, glassware and cutlery and much much more than i can't really remember.They went above and beyond to help out and even opened their showroom on a Sunday for us to be able to go and choose our table settings. It was such a useful thing to do and we were delighted when it all came together.
