Large Wicker Basket

Hire large wicker basket for events and catering. Vitrified commercial grade. Live stock, no deposit. Return dirty. Delivery from £40.

Product Description

Organising a breakfast buffet or corporate luncheon requires practical food presentation. Booking large wicker basket hire gives you a traditional method for displaying baked goods. Each basket measures 315mm long by 230mm wide, providing ample space for fresh rolls, croissants, or sliced artisan bread. The natural woven material suits rustic wedding breakfasts, country fairs, and formal dining setups alike. Professional caterers rely on these containers to serve large volumes of food while maintaining an attractive display.

Weighing just 1.00kg, these lightweight containers move around your venue without causing strain for your catering staff. The 95mm height keeps contents secure while allowing guests clear visibility of the food inside. You can arrange multiple baskets across your buffet stations to separate different dietary options, gluten-free alternatives, or specific pastry types. Incorporating these items into your broader catering equipment hire order helps maintain a consistent aesthetic across your food service areas. Event organisers frequently place them alongside coffee stations or at the centre of banquet setups.

Every basket features a removable fabric drawstring liner. This internal cloth catches crumbs, keeping your display neat and protecting your table hire items from mess. At the end of service, your staff can lift the liner out to dispose of leftover debris. The woven exterior resists daily wear during busy commercial events, maintaining its shape throughout your rental period. You avoid the hassle of sourcing and storing bulky display items by renting them exactly when your schedule demands.
