Can anyone recommend a supplier of reasonably priced stainless steel
(or other corrosion} resistant) hinges? I'm looking for smallish
(i.e. 50cm to 75cm) hinges, mostly just butt hinges but other sorts
would be useful too (e.g. cranked hinges).

All I can find via Google searches seem to be horribly expensive, for
example Screwfix seem to have only 100cm hinges in stainless steel and
they're almost £4 per pair.

I need *lots* of outdoor hinges of various formats and sizes,
currently I have lots of rusty hinges that I'd love to replace but not
at £4 per pair.

Stainless steel wood screws and nuts and bolts prices have tumbled
over the past few years, why not hinges?

FWIIW I'd say £4/pair for 100mm (not cm !!) stainless hinges is pretty
good going.

I paid c.£13 for 3 EURO brand 100mm hinges around 2 years ago.

Suggest you look out one of the specialist door & window furniture
stores which have sprung up over the last 10 years or so. Eg there is
one on St Johns Rd Tunbridge Wells opposite the old St Johns School
building.

IMHO cheap hinges are cost more in bother than you save.

Possibly, but I don't want 100mm hinges, I want 75mm or smaller.

What bother can a cheap hinge cause? These are for very light duty,
not heavy doors or anything like that.
