Rectangular trestle tables allow you to create modern, communal dining layouts that bring an incredible sense of scale to your room design. Here is how we love to style them:

  • The Dramatic Long Banquet: Place 6ft or 8ft trestle tables end-to-end down the length of a marquee or barn. Cover them with floor-length white linens, lining the centre with trailing greenery, layered pillar candles, and surrounding them with our Limewash Chiavari Chairs or Limewash Louis Chairs.
  • The Grand Top Table: Join multiple 6ft or 8ft tables facing into the room for the bridal party. Dress with sweeping textured linens, elegant floral runners, and place settings paired with our Gold Dior Chairs for an opulent focal point.
  • Functional Service Stations: Use individual 4ft or 6ft trestle tables as dedicated stations for guestbooks, welcome drinks, grazing platters, or evening dessert bars, dressed with linens that match your main dining room palette.
  • Table Top: 19.5mm exterior-grade, single-piece plywood top
  • Edging: Heavy-duty black PVC rubber protective edging
  • Frame & Legs: Thick, heavy-gauge powder-coated steel folding legs
  • Assembly: Folds completely flat for compact storage and easy venue transport; zero assembly required
  • Linen Requirement: Designed to be dressed with full-length table linens

Available Sizes & Seating Capacities:

  • 4ft × 2ft 6in: Seats 4 guests (Perfect for registrars, cake displays, or small gift tables)
  • 6ft × 2ft 6in: Seats 6 guests (The standard choice for long banquet dining rows)
  • 6ft × 3ft: Seats 6 guests with extra central space for food platters and floral runners
  • 8ft × 2ft 6in: Seats 8–10 guests (Ideal for large top tables and buffet setups)

What sizes are available, and how many guests fit per table?
We offer four versatile size configurations:

  • 4ft × 2ft 6in: Seats 4 guests
  • 6ft × 2ft 6in: Seats 6 guests
  • 6ft × 3ft: Seats 6 guests (with extra width for shared dining platters and decor)
  • 8ft × 2ft 6in: Seats 8–10 guests

Do these trestle tables require tablecloths?
Yes. These are professional-grade plywood banquet tables engineered specifically to be dressed with table linens. We offer a wide range of premium tablecloths to complement your event's colour scheme and styling.

Can these tables be pushed together to make long banquet rows?
Yes, absolutely. Their square-edged rectangular design makes them perfect for placing end-to-end to create continuous, dramatic banquet lines down the centre of marquees, halls, and barns.

How stable are the tables?
Built for heavy commercial use, each table features thick powder-coated steel legs and heavy-duty locking braces, ensuring a completely rigid, wobble-free surface for multi-course meals, tall glassware, and substantial decor setups.

How long do I hire the products for?
The hire period is 24 hours. We generally set up earlier on the day of the event, and collect the morning after. We will be in touch with the event venue directly within the month leading up to the event to confirm exact arrangements.

Can the tables be moved during our event/Wedding Day?
Please always discuss this with ourselves and your venue prior. Because the legs fold flat, these tables are simple to clear and reposition if your room needs to transition from daytime dining to an evening dance floor. If you require our team to return and handle mid-event room transitions, an additional fee may apply to cover staffing.

How do I book?
Please complete the Enquiry Form with as many details as possible or give us a call on 0800 975 0265 and one of our experts can help you find exactly what you are looking for. You will receive a quote by email and all forward steps will be outlined there for you. You will be asked to complete a Booking Form and pay a deposit to secure the items for your date, and then full payment is due one month prior to your wedding/event.

How long does it take to setup?
This will vary depending on the total quantity of tables and your overall hire package. Unfolding and positioning each trestle table takes just a couple of minutes. When confirming delivery arrangements with your venue, we will ensure sufficient setup time is allocated.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance?
Yes, we have full Public Liability Insurance.

Where are you based?
We have warehouses in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and Fareham, Hampshire, and cover most of England from these locations (delivery charges apply).

Where do you deliver to?
We deliver to almost anywhere in England. Delivery charges are calculated based on your event postcode, and a minimum spend may apply for locations further from our primary warehouses.

Can we collect?
Yes, collection options are available for select items. A refundable security deposit will be required. Please contact our team to discuss collection requirements for your date.

When do you deliver?
We deliver at a time that is mutually convenient for you and your venue. Our team will contact both you and your venue approximately two weeks prior to your event date to finalise access times.
