Product Description
Present your main courses and sharing platters on a dark grey surface. Booking a graphite rectangular plate - 12 x hire gives professional caterers a contemporary alternative to standard white round crockery. Each unit measures 310mm x 180mm x 25mm, providing ample space for creative food plating. The dark tone creates a strong visual contrast against bright ingredients. Event organisers frequently select this specific colourway for moody, industrial-themed venues or evening gala dinners where traditional white plates clash with the aesthetic.
Graphite rectangular plate - 12 x hire for modern catering
Porcelite Seasons Vitrified Porcelain forms the core of this item. It weighs 0.70kg and withstands the rigours of commercial use. The vitrified finish resists scratching from cutlery during busy service periods. You can return all crockery unwashed after your event because our "Send It Back Dirty" service covers the cleaning process. Every order also includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver to cover accidental chips or breakages. This removes a common headache for independent caterers managing large-scale banquets.
Precise dimensions matter when planning your table layouts. This plate has a length of 0.3100 metres, a width of 0.1800 metres, and a height of 0.0250 metres. You can pair these dark plates with our wider catering equipment hire inventory to build a complete service setup. Organising a large banquet requires dependable logistics. Expo Hire operates 11 regional depots across England and Wales, delivering directly to your venue with delivery from £40 ex-VAT.
