Product Description
Serve appetizers and small dishes on a 7-inch vitrified porcelain surface. Booking a square starter plate - hire gives your catering team a modern alternative to traditional round crockery. The 175mm x 175mm geometric shape provides a structured base for intricate food presentation at corporate networking breakfasts, restaurant pop-ups, and product launches. White porcelain contrasts sharply with colourful ingredients, drawing attention directly to the food. Chefs use the straight edges to align garnishes and sauces with precision. This 30mm high plate holds portions securely while staff navigate crowded dining rooms.
Commercial square starter plate - hire
Event organisers and independent caterers rely on commercial-grade tableware for high-volume service. The rolled rim on this 7-inch plate resists chipping during transit and busy kitchen operations. You can return all crockery unwashed after your event. The "Send It Back Dirty" service includes professional cleaning, saving your staff hours of washing up on site. Every order also includes a free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental breakages without hidden fees. Venue managers appreciate this financial protection when hosting large-scale banquets or charity galas.
Match these geometric dishes with items from the white crockery collection to maintain a consistent aesthetic across all courses. You can also browse the broader tableware hire category to source matching cutlery and glassware. Event planners seating guests for a formal tasting menu can explore chair hire options to complete the dining layout. Expo Hire operates 11 regional depots across England and Wales, calculating delivery costs by road distance from your nearest branch. On delivery day, you receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA. Customers placing orders over £1,000 can choose a 25% advance deposit option to secure their equipment early.
