Product Description
Booking an oval dinner plate - 12 x hire gives your catering team a distinct presentation option for main courses and buffet displays. This 305mm x 241mm white porcelain dish provides ample space for complex plating arrangements. The elongated shape guides the eye along the food, making it a popular choice for corporate gala dinners and high-end hospitality events. Professional chefs appreciate the generous surface area when serving large protein portions alongside multiple side dishes.
Weighing 0.93kg, this commercial-grade crockery withstands the rigorous demands of busy event environments. The vitrified material resists chipping and scratching during service. You save hours of post-event labour because Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service with all crockery orders. Your staff scrape the plates clear of food debris and pack them back into their transport crates. We handle the washing at our depot. Every order also includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, protecting you against accidental breakages without requiring a security deposit.
Event organisers select this specific plate style to break away from standard round crockery. The distinct profile suits fish dishes, sharing platters, and carvery stations. During a large-scale banquet, the solid construction gives guests a substantial feel without overburdening your waiting staff. You can pair these items with standard cutlery and glassware to complete your table settings.
Organising your catering equipment hire demands precise logistics. Expo Hire operates 11 regional depots, delivering directly to event venues. You receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA on the morning of your delivery. This helps your site managers coordinate the arrival of your plates alongside your table hire and other event infrastructure. Our system calculates delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from your nearest depot. Warehouse self-collection remains an option from our Birmingham headquarters between Monday and Friday.
