Hire Storm Saucer - 6.25" for catering setups. 160mm x 160mm x 25mm. Live stock online. Delivery across England and Wales.
High-volume catering environments require durable crockery that handles constant rotation between tables and kitchens. Securing a storm saucer - 6. hire provides your serving staff with a stable base for hot drinks. We supply this item in a light grey finish, manufactured from Porcelite Seasons Vitrified Porcelain to resist chipping and scratching during intense service. The vitrified material retains heat, keeping tea and coffee warm while attendees network or finish their meals. You can match this saucer with the Storm 12oz cup to build a complete beverage station.
Physical dimensions dictate how catering staff manage tray service and table layouts. Each unit measures 0.1600m in length and 0.1600m in width, with a low profile height of 0.0250m. Weighing just 0.23kg, waiters carry multiple saucers on serving trays without excessive strain during busy networking breaks. The design features an indented centre that locks the matching cup in place, reducing the chance of spills as guests carry their drinks across the room. A raised outer rim catches any drips before they reach your table linen, protecting expensive fabrics from coffee stains. Event planners frequently add these to their catering equipment hire orders to standardise their beverage service across multiple regional events, maintaining a uniform appearance for corporate clients.
Post-event cleanup consumes valuable time, especially with large quantities of crockery. Expo Hire operates a "Send It Back Dirty" policy across all catering items. You return the saucers unwashed in their transport crates, and our warehouse team handles the cleaning process. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental chips or breakages at no extra cost. Organisers needing a complete dining setup can browse our table hire inventory and book everything in a single transaction.
Logistics dictate the success of any large-scale catering operation, especially when coordinating multiple suppliers. We operate 11 regional depots, calculating your delivery fee from £40 based on the road distance from the nearest hub. On the day of your event, you receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA, so your team knows exactly when the transport crates arrive at the venue loading bay. You can also opt for warehouse self-collection from our Birmingham headquarters between Monday and Friday, 7am to 3pm. Unlike many competitors, we require no security deposit for your order, freeing up your event budget for other priorities. Large corporate bookings benefit from our 25% advance deposit option on orders over £1,000, helping you manage cash flow leading up to the event date.

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 use any lift without prior approval, 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.
