This dark grey vitrified porcelain plate brings a contemporary edge to any event, making it an excellent choice for modern food presentations and formal plating styles. Its sleek design and practical features help you serve dishes with confidence and flair.
Crafted from Porcelite Seasons Vitrified Porcelain, this plate offers exceptional durability, standing up to the demands of busy event catering. The vitrified finish means it resists chipping and scratching, maintaining its pristine appearance throughout your event. You can confidently use these plates for hot or cold dishes, knowing they are both dishwasher and microwave safe, simplifying your event logistics and cleanup. A subtle central dip in the plate's surface helps to contain sauces and prevent accidental spillages, helping your guests enjoy their meal without mess. The deep graphite colour provides a striking contrast for colourful ingredients, allowing your food to truly stand out.
Consider these versatile plates for a range of event types. For formal black-tie dinners or charity galas, they are a strong choice for presenting plated starter courses with an elegant touch. If you are hosting high-end product launches or fashion shows, use them to create bespoke canapé displays that impress your guests. They also serve beautifully for main course presentations at contemporary wedding breakfasts and private parties, adding a refined aesthetic to your dining experience. Even for corporate conferences and executive meetings, these plates add a touch of class to breakfast buffet service, offering a stylish alternative to traditional round plates. Position them perpendicular to the table edge to create a uniform, organised look across your tables.

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 into lifts, 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.
