Product Description
Slates are a popular alternative to plates for serving food. They’re often seen as a more stylish way to showcase food, as their dark colour allows for a deeper contrast, particularly with food that is bright in colour.
These slates are 325 x 265mm in size and can be used as either a platter or a plate.
Please note, these slates should not be submerged in water.
Do I need to clean these items before they are returned from hire
Cleaning tableware and serveware hire after a big function is not only a boring job but is also the time when it's most likely to get lost.
It’s the main reason why we have made it compulsory for all tableware and serviceware items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All a customer needs to do is to ensure that all food debris is scraped off tableware before it’s repacked ready for collection.
