Services
For over 30 years Allens has been committed to providing a great range of quality products and impeccable service. We don't believe that we are simply suppliers of hire products and equipment, we aim to become committed partners for our customers. We understand the events and catering industry. We know that you depend on us to help ensure that your functions and events are a success.
Kevin started his career in catering with the Doyle Hotel Group in Dublin (now known as The Doyle Collection). Moving to a leading outside catering company broadened his experience and developed his appreciation of quality and customer service, along with developing his design skills and creativity.
At Allens we believe that we have a responsibility towards the environment. We are committed to minimising the impact of our business activities on the environment and, in a wider context, we endeavour to lead and influence the catering and events industry in this respect. We minimise waste by regular evaluation of our operations and transport arrangements to ensure they are as efficient as possible.
At Allens, we don't just deliver stuff. We care about the success of our customers' events, aiming to be committed partners not just passive suppliers. That means we listen, ask the right questions and stick to our promises. A friendly style and a helpful spirit is at the heart of our service approach.
Please note that peak and non-peak periods may vary depending on the volume of orders we are fulfilling. Different timeslots are available for cash and account customers during these standard delivery times at an extra cost. Account customers are able to select out-of-hours timeslots at an extra cost.

At first my experience was good. I was able to hire the equipment that I wanted, the sales team was helpful and clean goods were delivered. However, the aftercare was awful.
We had a wedding at home and managed the event ourselves. Afterwards, we counted up the items meticulously and checked them off against the list. The driver arrived with a van full of other clients' equipment and we asked him if he wanted to check it off. He told us that "they do that back at the warehouse".
Two weeks later I got my deposit back minus the replacement cost of two items. It may not sound like
