6ft Folding Trestle Table Hire in London
The 6ft trestle table is the most popular event table in the UK. At 183cm long and 76cm wide, it seats 6 guests comfortably along the long sides or up to 8 when you use both ends. The blow-moulded HDPE surface is durable, easy to wipe clean and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Steel folding legs lock into place and fold flat in seconds for easy delivery and storage.
Trestle tables are the backbone of any event setup. Whether you are planning a seated wedding dinner for 120 guests, a buffet spread at a corporate event, or a drinks bar at a garden party — these tables do the job reliably every time.
What Can You Use a Trestle Table For?
- Wedding dining — arrange in long banquet rows or clusters for a formal seated dinner. Dress with our white trestle linen for an elegant finish.
- Buffet and food service — line tables along a wall or in an L-shape for starters, mains and desserts. Combine with our convection oven for hot food service.
- Drinks bars — set up a cocktail station, prosecco bar or beer table. Pair with our champagne flutes and wine glasses.
- Display and exhibition tables — product launches, trade shows, craft fairs and market stalls.
- Registration and sign-in desks — welcome tables at conferences, weddings and ticketed events.
- Cake and gift tables — wedding cake displays, present tables, photo displays.
- Garden parties and outdoor dining — the plastic surface handles weather. Use under our 3x3 gazebo for covered outdoor dining.
Pair With White Trestle Linen
A bare trestle table does the job, but adding a crisp white tablecloth transforms the look completely. Our 6ft trestle linen (70×108 inches) fits these tables perfectly — it drapes almost to the floor on all sides for a clean, polished appearance. At £8.10 per cloth, it is one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make to your event setup. Add our linen napkins to complete the look.
How Many Tables Do You Need?
The number of tables depends on your seating plan and event style:
- Seated dinner (6 per table) — 50 guests = 9 tables, 100 guests = 17 tables, 150 guests = 25 tables.
- Buffet service — typically 2 to 4 tables for food, plus 1 for drinks.
- Conference / classroom style — seats 2 to 3 per table when all facing forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can sit at a 6ft trestle table?
A standard 6ft trestle table comfortably seats 6 guests — 3 on each long side. You can seat up to 8 if you also use both short ends, though this is a tighter fit. For a formal dinner with more elbow room, plan for 6 per table.
What size tablecloth do I need for a 6ft trestle table?
For a full-length drop that almost touches the floor, use a 70×108 inch (178×274cm) tablecloth. We hire matching white trestle linen at £8.10 each — it fits perfectly and gives a clean, polished look for weddings and formal events.
Can trestle tables be used outdoors?
Yes. Our trestle tables have a durable blow-moulded HDPE plastic top that handles indoor and outdoor use. They work perfectly in gardens, marquees, courtyards and under gazebos. Pair them with our 3x3 gazebo for covered outdoor dining.
How much weight can a 6ft trestle table hold?
Our 6ft trestle tables support up to 200kg evenly distributed. That is more than enough for full place settings, buffet service, drinks displays or equipment. The steel folding legs lock securely in place.
Do you deliver trestle tables in London?
Yes. We deliver across all London boroughs and surrounding areas. Tables arrive folded flat and ready to set up — just unfold the legs and lock them in place. After your event, fold them down and we collect. Contact us for a delivery quote.
How far in advance should I book trestle table hire?
We recommend booking at least 7 days before your event, especially during peak wedding season (May to September). For larger orders of 10 or more tables, book at least 14 days ahead. For last-minute requests, call us directly on 07359 034252.
