Versatile Round Table Hire
A sociable dining table that fits more comfortably into the room.
A 5ft6 round table gives event planners a strong balance between guest capacity and room efficiency. Its circular format keeps guests facing one another, while the tabletop provides practical space for dinnerware, glassware, menus, favours and a sensibly sized centrepiece.
Kylah Group supplies 5ft6 round table hire across London for wedding receptions, corporate lunches, banquets, birthdays, charity events, private parties and venue dining layouts. The correct final capacity depends on chair width, table linen, centrepiece size, place settings and the amount of clearance available around each table.
Eight guests usually provide the strongest balance of comfort and service space. Ten may be achievable for some layouts, but should be checked against the chair style, place settings and venue plan before the final table quantity is confirmed.
For a larger guest group and more tabletop space, compare our 6ft round tables. For full event planning, explore round table hire London and our table hire guide.

Compare Round Table Sizes
Choose the table size that fits the room, not only the guest count.
A larger table may reduce the number of tables required, but each table and its chairs use more floor space. The venue plan should decide which option produces the better room flow.
| Decision point | 5ft6 Round Table | 6ft Round Table |
|---|---|---|
| Starting hire price | £12.49 per table | £14.99 per table |
| Typical planning capacity | Around 8 guests, up to 10 where suitable | Around 10 guests, up to 12 where suitable |
| Best venue type | Medium rooms and balanced layouts | Spacious halls, ballrooms and marquees |
| Surface area | Strong all-round dining space | More room for settings and centrepieces |
| Floor-space demand | Lower and easier to balance | Higher |
| Primary reason to choose | Efficient, sociable dining with a versatile footprint | Larger groups and a more generous formal presentation |
Room and Table Planning
A 5ft6 table is only one part of the complete footprint.
Chairs, guests, service routes and styling all extend beyond the tabletop. These details should be included before the room capacity is agreed.
Chair Clearance
Allow enough space for guests to pull chairs out, sit comfortably and move away from the table without blocking aisles.
Service Routes
Catering and venue teams need clear paths between tables, doors, kitchens, bars and emergency exits.
Centre Decorations
Large floral designs, candelabras and display pieces reduce usable surface space and can affect guest sightlines.
Round Table Linen
Confirm the correct cloth size and drop length for a polished finish that does not create a trip or snag risk.
Accessible Positions
Plan suitable guest positions and circulation space without narrowing the main routes through the room.
Floor and Access
Tell us about lifts, stairs, long carries, narrow doors, floor protection, loading bays and restricted supplier times.
