These 17.5cm white porcelain dishes feature reinforced edges and stackable profiles for commercial catering events.

Book your square bowl hire for your upcoming corporate dinner or wedding reception. This 17.5cm contemporary dish features durable white vitrified porcelain. The distinctive profile frames culinary creations, from delicate starters to artful desserts. You get a professional presentation that sets your event apart from the standard round plate service.
Vitrified porcelain construction makes these bowls elegant and strong. Reinforced edges resist chipping, standing up to the demands of busy catering environments. This durability makes them a smart choice for any function where quality and resilience matter. You can trust these bowls to maintain their pristine appearance throughout your event. Their clever stackable design helps your catering team manage space during multi-course service.
Consider these square dishes for a range of professional events. They suit corporate gala dinners requiring uniform table presentation. Boutique wedding receptions use these bowls to present plated starters or soup courses with style. High-end product launch events rely on the structured look for creative dessert stations. Hospitality suites at sporting events find them practical for serving individual portions.
Setting up your tables with these bowls takes minimal effort. Position each square bowl in the centre of your charger plates to maintain consistent table geometry. You might also need catering equipment hire to complete your kitchen setup, or table hire to build your dining area.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
