Types of Trestle Tables to Hire

Our trestle table range includes several styles, each suited to different settings.

Wooden Trestle Tables

Wooden trestle tables are a reliable option for most events. Built with sturdy folding legs and solid tops, they are designed for repeated use in demanding environments.

They are widely used for:

  • Catering and service areas
  • Exhibition stands
  • Back of house setups
  • Dining layouts
  • Community events and elections

They work equally well indoors or outdoors and offer excellent value for money.

Rustic and Limewash Trestle Tables

Rustic and limewash trestle tables are designed for events where appearance matters as much as practicality.

These tables are often used for:

  • Weddings and wedding breakfasts
  • Banquet style seating
  • Parties and styled events
  • Venues where furniture is part of the décor

Their natural finish means they can often be used without tablecloths, helping to create a more relaxed and informal setting.

Varnished Trestle Tables

Varnished trestle tables are a popular choice across hotels, conference centres and exhibition venues.

They feature a smooth, sealed surface and folding metal legs, making them easy to handle and quick to set up.

The varnished finish allows them to be used with or without linen, making them suitable for:

  • Conferences and meetings
  • Trade shows and exhibitions
  • Registration desks
  • Dining with tablecloths

Specialist Trestle Tables

For more specific uses, we also supply alternative trestle table styles.

Plastic catering tables are lightweight and easy to move, making them ideal for temporary setups and outdoor use.

Beer tables are suited to festivals, outdoor events, and casual seating areas.

Stainless steel tables are typically used for food preparation and catering environments where hygiene is essential.

Trestle Table Sizes and Linen Guide

Choosing the correct table size is important for both comfort and presentation. The table below shows typical seating capacities along with recommended linen sizes.

Trestle Table Size Seating Capacity Recommended Tablecloth
6ft x 2ft 6in 6 70in x 108in
6ft x 3ft 6 to 8 70in x 108in
6ft x 2ft 6 70in x 108in
5ft x 2ft 4 to 6 70in x 108in
4ft x 2ft 6in 4 54in x 54in
4ft x 2ft 4 54in x 54in

As a general guide, a 6ft trestle table comfortably seats six guests, while shorter tables suit smaller groups or tighter layouts.

The Right Table

Selecting the right trestle tables to hire depends on the type of event and the space available.

For dining layouts, allow enough room for guests to sit comfortably and for staff to move around easily.

For exhibitions or trade stands, table depth can be important depending on the display requirements.

For weddings and parties, the choice often comes down to whether you prefer a styled table without linen or a clean finish with tablecloths.
