Product Description
Graphite Coupe Side Plate Hire For Modern Catering
Serve starters, bread portions, and small desserts on our graphite coupe side plate - hire. These 180mm dark grey porcelain dishes give caterers a modern aesthetic for corporate hospitality and evening networking events. The rimless coupe profile holds dressings and sauces securely, keeping table settings clean during busy service. Professional event organisers choose this specific 7-inch size to manage portion control while maintaining an upscale presentation. The dark graphite tone creates a sharp visual contrast against white tablecloths or natural wood surfaces.
Catering teams rely on Porcelite Seasons Vitrified Porcelain for high-volume dining environments. Each plate weighs 0.30kg and stacks neatly in batches of twenty on your prep stations. The vitrified finish resists scratches from metal cutlery, maintaining a professional appearance across multiple courses. Pair these dark grey plates with our table hire options to build a distinct layout for gala dinners, charity balls, and awards ceremonies. The 20mm height provides just enough depth to contain olive oil and balsamic vinegar dips for artisan bread service.
Commercial Crockery With Cleaning Included
Event organisers face tight turnaround times after food service concludes. Expo Hire includes a 'Send It Back Dirty' service with all crockery orders. You return the plates unwashed, and our warehouse team handles the cleaning process. Every order also includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental chips or breakages at no extra cost. We require no security deposit, freeing up your event budget for other catering equipment hire needs. You can book large quantities for major banquets without tying up excess capital.
Track your delivery on the day with our live vehicle tracking and SMS ETA updates. We operate 11 regional depots across England and Wales, calculating delivery costs from £40 ex-VAT by road distance from your nearest branch.
