planned properly
across London
Hire one table, a buffet run or enough tables for a full event layout.
Approximate dining capacity depends on chairs, place settings and layout.
Venue-aware logistics across the capital, subject to booking details.
One table shape. Dozens of practical event jobs.
Trestle tables earn their place at events because they are straightforward, space-efficient and adaptable. The same 6ft rectangular format can support guest dining, buffet service, registration, catering, displays, meetings or back-of-house work.
Kylah Group supplies two distinct options. Our 6ft wooden trestle table provides a stronger traditional tabletop and suits dining, formal setups and heavier service use. Our 6ft plastic folding table is lighter, lower-priced and particularly useful when rapid setup, movement or flexible room changes matter most.
Both options can seat approximately 6 to 8 people, depending on chair width, place settings, end seating and the comfort level required. For buffets, displays and service stations, quantities should be planned around the equipment and access space rather than guest numbers alone.
For a complete setup, combine your tables with chair hire London, trestle table linen and napkin hire.
Wooden strength or lightweight flexibility.
Both tables share a practical 6ft format, but their weight, finish, handling and best-use cases are different. Choose the one that matches the job rather than treating them as interchangeable.
6ft Wooden Trestle Table
A strong wooden tabletop with folding metal legs. Suitable for guest dining, buffet service, markets, displays, registration desks, top tables and event work surfaces.
- Approximately 183cm long and suitable for around 6 to 8 guests
- Stronger traditional surface for dining, displays and catering equipment
- Works uncovered for practical events or dressed with linen for formal setups
- Best where stability and presentation matter more than minimum carrying weight
6ft Plastic Folding Table
A lightweight, practical and budget-friendly folding table for parties, buffets, community functions, temporary work surfaces, exhibitions and fast-changing layouts.
- Approximately 6ft long and suitable for around 6 to 8 guests
- Lower-priced option for larger quantities and practical event zones
- Easier to carry and reposition during room turns or programme changes
- Useful indoors and in suitable covered outdoor settings on firm level ground
Choose by weight, finish, use and price.
The wooden trestle is the stronger presentation-led workhorse. The plastic folding table is the lighter, lower-priced choice for quick handling and practical layouts.

|---|---|---|
| Starting price | £14.99 per table | £9.99 per table |

| Best use | Dining, buffets, heavier displays, markets and formal setups | Parties, service areas, temporary layouts, community and corporate use |
| Handling | Heavier and more labour-intensive to carry | Lighter and easier to reposition quickly |
| Presentation | Traditional surface; strong choice with linen | Practical finish; often dressed with linen for formal use |
| Seating guide | Approximately 6 to 8 guests | Approximately 6 to 8 guests |
| Primary reason to choose | Strength, stability and a more traditional event-table feel | Lower price, faster handling and flexible deployment |

Trestle Table Hire London FAQs
Clear answers about pricing, quantities, table types, linen, delivery and venue setup.
How much does trestle table hire cost in London?
Plastic folding table hire starts from £9.99 per table, while 6ft wooden trestle table hire starts from £14.99. Final pricing also depends on quantity, delivery location, collection timing, access and any additional services.
What is the difference between a wooden trestle table and a plastic folding table?
The wooden trestle table has a heavier traditional tabletop and is a strong choice for dining, buffets and formal setups. The plastic folding table is lighter, lower-priced and easier to reposition for temporary or fast-changing layouts.
How many people can sit at a 6ft trestle table?
A 6ft rectangular table can usually seat approximately 6 to 8 people. The comfortable number depends on chair width, place settings, end seating, serving space and the amount of personal space required.
Do you have a minimum order?
No. Kylah Group has no minimum order requirement, so customers can hire one table, several buffet tables or a larger event quantity. Delivery and collection are still quoted according to the booking details.
Can trestle tables be arranged in different configurations?
Yes. They can be used in long banquet rows, U-shapes, classroom layouts, buffet runs, display stations or separate work areas. The venue or organiser must confirm safe capacities, aisles, exits and accessibility positions.
Do I need tablecloths for trestle tables?
Linen is optional, but it is usually recommended for weddings, guest dining, formal buffets and professional events. It hides the folding legs and creates a more coordinated finish. White, black and ivory trestle linen may be available.
Can I hire chairs, linen and napkins with the tables?
Yes. Trestle tables can be combined with chair hire, trestle linen, napkins and other event furniture in one itemised quote.
Do you deliver and collect trestle tables across London?
Yes. Delivery and collection are available across London, subject to stock, distance, access, vehicle scheduling and the requested time windows.
Can you place or set up the tables inside the venue?
Room placement or setup support may be available when agreed in advance. The quote needs to account for table quantity, access, carrying distance, floors, lifts, layout complexity and the time available.
Are the tables suitable for outdoor events?
They may be used in suitable covered outdoor settings on firm, level ground. Customers should have a realistic wet-weather plan and must protect hired furniture from rain, unstable surfaces and unsafe conditions.
How far in advance should I book?
Book as early as possible for large quantities, peak weekends, weddings and venues with controlled delivery windows. Short-notice bookings may still be possible depending on stock and the existing delivery schedule.
Is VAT added, and is there a security deposit?
No VAT is added to hire products and Kylah Group does not use refundable security deposits. A mandatory 5% damage waiver applies to hire items. Delivery, collection and additional services are quoted separately.
