Host the Ultimate Halloween Bash with Allens Hire
Hosting an unforgettable Halloween event requires more than just a spooky theme—it’s about creating the right atmosphere with carefully selected furniture and catering equipment. Whether you’re organising a Halloween-themed dinner, a corporate party, or a casual get-together, the right tableware can make all the difference. Allens Catering Equipment & Furniture Hire has everything you need to bring your vision to life. Here’s what to consider hiring to ensure your Halloween event is a memorable success:
- Setting the Scene with Tables & Chairs
Comfortable seating is essential, no matter the size of your gathering. We offer a variety of chairs and tables to suit your theme. For a Halloween event, consider dark tones or rustic styles to create a moody ambience:
- Rustic Trestle Tables: These are great for a haunted house or mystical dinner setting. Alternatively, pair some standard trestle tables with dark napkins and tablecloths to enhance the atmosphere.
- Camelot Chairs in Black or Phantom Chairs: Black Camelot chairs add gothic style to your event, while our unique Phantom Chairs, made from clear acrylic, create an otherworldly vibe.
- Poseur Tables and Stools: If you’re hosting a cocktail-style event or a haunted bar area, our poseur tables are perfect for creating a social atmosphere where guests can mingle.
- Upgrade Your Event with Linen & Table Accessories
The right linen and tableware can transform any Halloween party. Allens offers a range of options that can seamlessly match your spooky theme:
- Black or Deep Red Tablecloths: These colours are synonymous with Halloween and will add drama to your tables, setting the tone for a mysterious evening.
- Dark-Coloured Napkins: Dark napkins with texture from our Kew range will add a little bit of luxury to the table, perfect if Dracula is on the guest list.
- Candelabras and Candlesticks: For that classic haunted mansion feel, dim the lights and let the candelabras provide a warm, flickering light that enhances the mood.
- Stocking Up the Potion Bar with Glassware
A well-stocked bar is a must for any Halloween gathering, whether you’re serving creepy cocktails or non-alcoholic concoctions, Allens Hire offers glassware suited for all kinds of drinks:
- Martini Glasses for Witch’s Brews: Serve eerie drinks in classic martini glasses to add flair to your bar.
- Shot Glasses for Spooky Shots: Perfect for serving themed shots that match the Halloween spirit.
- Wine and Champagne Glasses: For a touch of elegance, wine and champagne glasses are ideal for toasting to a spooky evening.
- Dining Equipment for a Spooky Feast
If your Halloween event includes a sit-down dinner or buffet, having the right catering equipment is essential. Allens Hire has a wide selection, including:
- Chafing Dishes for a Buffet: These are great for keeping your food warm, especially when serving dishes like hearty stews or roasts.
- Soup Kettles for a Witch’s Cauldron Look: Use these for soups or chilis, giving the impression of a bubbling brew, or go all out and use a beautiful antique cauldron.
- Serving Trays: Perfect for serving finger foods and canapes at a masquerade ball or even a haunted house theme.
- Outdoor Comfort: Shelters and Bars
If your event is outdoors, consider adding a shelter to keep guests comfortable. Allens Hire offers practical options such as:
- Furniture: Rattan wicker tables, chairs and sofas will keep your guests sitting comfortably.
- Pop-Up Tents: Shelter from potential wet weather with easy to set up pop-up tents.
- Bar Units: Set up a bar area with ease using one of Allens Hire’s bar units, which can be set up inside or outside and decorated with themed props.
Details matter when it comes to Halloween parties. Allens Hire offers tableware and cutlery that complement any spooky tablescape:
- Black or Dark-Coloured Plates: Dark plates add drama to the dining experience, perfect for a moody theme. Try our Villeroy & Boch Rock Black Shale Plate or Costa Nova Riviera plate collection.
- Gold or Silver Cutlery: These options add a touch of luxury and pair beautifully with darker table settings. In particular, our Sambonet Versailles Gold range or Kings Pattern Cutlery will add that gothic look to your table setting.
- Cocktail Glasses and Coloured Glassware: Use coloured glassware to give your party a mysterious twist or use cocktail glasses specific to the cocktail you are serving with Riedel Bar or check out our full cocktail glass selection.
