Event organisers and caterers select individual bowls to present dishes across various meal services. For seated dinners, buffet stations, or casual receptions, the chosen bowl style impacts food presentation. Expo Hire supplies durable bowls suited for high-volume use in professional catering environments.

Classic White Porcelain Bowls

White porcelain bowls have a clean, classic appearance. They suit formal events, traditional settings, and everyday hospitality. White porcelain bowls offer specific designs for different courses. Standard soup bowls have a 250 millilitre capacity and an 18 centimetre diameter. The soup bowls hold broths and creamed soups.

For main courses, Expo Hire stocks pasta bowls. These bowls feature a wider rim and a deeper centre, holding up to 450 millilitres. Their 28 centimetre diameter holds pasta portions. Dessert bowls hold 180 millilitres. They suit sweets and small starters. They measure 15 centimetres across. Finger bowls suit specific dining requirements. They measure 8 centimetres in diameter.

The porcelain construction resists chipping. It maintains consistent quality. These bowls stack well, making storage and transport straightforward for busy catering teams.

Contemporary Graphite and Storm Bowls

Bowls come in graphite and storm finishes. These ranges suit contemporary menus and table designs, providing a clear alternative to traditional white porcelain. Graphite bowls feature a deep, consistent dark grey colour. Storm bowls present a mottled grey and blue finish, offering a textured appearance.

Graphite soup bowls hold 280 millilitres and measure 19 centimetres diameter. These bowls look striking for modern culinary concepts. Storm finish pasta bowls have a 500 millilitre capacity. Their design is a shallow, wide shape, 27 centimetres across. They hold main dishes. Storm dessert bowls complement this range, holding 160 millilitres and measuring 16 centimetres in diameter.

Both graphite and storm finish bowls withstand the demands of frequent event use. They create a cohesive look with other items from their respective collections. These bowls are durable for repeat hire.
