Introduce a touch of modern sophistication to your event with our 12" Graphite Oval Dinner Plate hire. This distinctive dark grey vitrified porcelain plate offers a contemporary alternative to traditional round white crockery, setting a refined tone for your culinary presentations.
Crafted from Porcelite Seasons Vitrified Porcelain, these plates are designed for both aesthetic appeal and practical durability. The vitrified process creates a non-porous surface, making them highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and staining – essential qualities for busy event catering. The unique oval shape provides an expansive canvas for chefs to present main courses with flair, ensuring your guests receive a memorable dining experience.
Planning a corporate gala dinner or a black-tie awards ceremony? These graphite oval plates will present your main courses with distinction, complementing sophisticated table settings. For premium wedding receptions, they offer a bespoke touch, moving beyond standard options to reflect your unique style. If you're hosting a product launch or brand activation showcase, these plates provide a modern backdrop for culinary presentations that align with your brand's forward-thinking image. They are also an excellent choice for high-end gallery openings and private celebration dinners, where every detail contributes to an exclusive atmosphere.
Our 12" Graphite Oval Dinner Plates are fully dishwasher and microwave safe, simplifying preparation and cleanup for your catering team. This ensures a smooth operation behind the scenes, allowing you to focus on your guests. Pair them with other items from our full Graphite crockery hire range to create a cohesive and stylish table setting that impresses.
When setting up, position these plates on stable, level surfaces for secure presentation. Consider aligning the longest axis of the plate parallel to your table edge for a refined and organised look.

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.
