Book your oval wide rim platter - 14½ x hire online today. White porcelain construction suits professional catering. Return unwashed after use.

Presenting food to large groups requires commercial-grade tableware. Securing your oval wide rim platter - 14½ x hire gives your catering team a reliable serving option for banquets, corporate dinners, and charity galas. Measuring 374mm x 254mm, this white porcelain dish holds generous portions of roasted meats, sharing sides, or assorted canapés. The broad edge frames the food while giving staff a secure grip during busy service periods.
Each platter weighs exactly 1.00kg, providing a substantial feel without overloading your waiting staff. Vitrified porcelain construction resists scratches from heavy cutlery and withstands the daily demands of high-volume hospitality environments. You can pair these dishes with our catering equipment hire to complete your temporary kitchen setup. The classic white finish matches standard event crockery, keeping the visual focus entirely on your carefully prepared menu.
Cleaning up after a major function takes hours of valuable time. Expo Hire removes this burden completely with our "Send It Back Dirty" service. Your team can pack away the unwashed plates straight into their transport crates, and we handle the washing at our central depot. Every order also includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, protecting your budget against accidental chips or breakages during the event.
Organising a formal gala or a large wedding breakfast demands careful logistical planning. These platters sit neatly in the centre of round dining arrangements, allowing guests to share side dishes or artisan bread selections. Combine them with our table hire to build a complete dining layout for your venue. You can also use them on long buffet stations to display cold meats, regional cheeses, or delicate pastries.
Booking your event equipment takes just a few clicks through our website. We display live stock levels and accurate pricing directly on this page, meaning you never need to wait for a manual quote.

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.
