Our Guide to Table Laying Etiquette
Laying the Table
Whether it is a formal dinner or a much more casual occasion, the basic rules do not vary when laying the table.
Give each person as much elbow room as the table permits. Leave an even amount of space between places. Knives and spoons go on the right, forks on the left. The idea is always to work from the outside in.
Formally, it is correct always to lay side plates – even if they are not going to be used – with the napkins simply folded on them.
Once you’ve mastered the basics…go wild with the decorations!!
Winter Weddings & Festive Celebrations
November & December have been busy months for the Crockery Crew as we headed out and about to some amazing venues across Lancashire & Cumbria, not only for weddings but some fabulous Christmas Parties too! It seems like these are the perfect months to get together with friends & family for a celebration, good food & wine & best of all…No Washing Up!!
We have now got everything clean, polished & packed ready for the New Year!
Happy New year to all our Customers past & present!

Crockery…What does it mean?
When we were looking for a name for our tableware hire company, we had to go back in time..All the way back to the early eighteenth century in fact!
Q: What do you call a collection of pots & vessels for holding food and drink?
A: Crockery!
Although it isn’t referred to as often now, we loved the fact the it linked all the way back to the designing & making of the actual pots by a potter or ‘Crocker’ as they would have been known.
Here at Castle Crockery Hire we love the idea of mixing quality & tradition with up to the minute design.
Bringing you the latest styles & looks to ensure your tables will be looking fabulous!
