VINTAGE CATERING HIRE - THE AIM
IMG
Why
You can tell top quality stainless steel workmanship
as soon as you pick it up.
Luxury quality stainless steel
was often given as wedding presents,
and just sat in a cupboard, never used.
So we are steadily building a collection,
and replacing lower and middling quality examples
with top class,
because we believe
you only deserve to hire The Very Best.

Why
England once had a thriving stainless steel industry
that turned out both good, and top quality work.
This changed in the 1970s
as cheap asian imports decimated British companies,
and even Old Hall was forced to close by 1982.

Why
Plenty of standard commercial catering dishes are available,
of low and middling quality
but it is hard to find the very best made some 40 or 60 years ago -
but we are working on it.
and you can help.
We put Swap-in values on items ( see IMG below ),
so you know exactly what something is worth,
swapped-in for something this project sells.
Find us more stainless steel!
