Book your graphite footed bowl - dark grey hire online today. These 26cm porcelain bowls suit modern corporate events. Return them unwashed after use.

Organising a modern corporate dinner requires specific tableware. Your table styling benefits from our graphite footed bowl - dark grey hire service. Each bowl features a distinct raised base that lifts your food presentation off the table surface. The physical dimensions measure exactly 0.2600 metres in length by 0.2600 metres in width, with a height of 0.0600 metres.
Dark grey tableware suits specific event aesthetics. Industrial warehouse venues and minimalist corporate settings pair well with this muted graphite tone. You can use these 26cm bowls to serve shared salads, artisan bread rolls, or fresh fruit at the centre of round banquet tables. The dark background contrasts sharply with bright ingredients like cherry tomatoes or leafy greens. Event organisers often select this colourway when stepping away from traditional white crockery.
Catering for large numbers generates significant washing up. Expo Hire removes this burden through our "Send It Back Dirty" service. You return the bowls unwashed after your event concludes, and our warehouse team handles the cleaning process. Every order also includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver. This covers accidental chips or scratches that occur during normal commercial use. You do not need to pay a security deposit when booking this tableware.
Commercial catering requires heavy-duty equipment. Manufacturers craft these bowls from Porcelite Seasons Vitrified Porcelain. This material resists the heavy impacts common in busy professional kitchens. Each piece weighs 0.71kg, giving it a substantial feel in the hand while remaining manageable for waiting staff. You can pair these items with other pieces from our catering equipment hire catalogue to complete your service setup.
Planning your event logistics takes time. We operate a fully online booking system that shows live stock availability and pricing 24/7. You can secure your tableware alongside your furniture hire requirements without making a single phone call. Our system calculates delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from your nearest depot. On the day of your event, you receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA. Add the required quantity to your basket and confirm your dates online today.

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.
