Product Description
Present your cold meats and artisan cheeses on a natural black stone surface. Booking a large slate platter - 13 x hire gives your catering team a heavy-duty 1.50kg serving board that retains low temperatures during long service periods. The dark background creates a sharp visual contrast against pale foods like brie, crackers, and fresh fruit.
Professional large slate platter - 13 x hire
Each board spans 325mm by 265mm, giving you ample room to arrange complex canapé selections. The textured surface stops small items from sliding around while your waiting staff navigate crowded rooms. You can pair these boards with our catering equipment hire to build multi-level buffet stations.

Event clean-up takes time, so we include our "Send It Back Dirty" service with every order. Your staff pack the unwashed boards straight into their transport crates after the event finishes. We handle the washing at our Birmingham depot. Every order also includes a free Minor Damage Waiver, protecting you against accidental chips or scratches during busy service.
Place these heavy stone boards directly onto your buffet stations or pair them with our table hire for formal dining setups. The natural thermal properties of the stone keep dairy and meat products cool when you chill the boards before service. This temperature control helps maintain food safety standards during extended corporate networking sessions or long wedding breakfasts.
Catering presentation and logistics
Professional event organisers rely on these dark stone boards for high-end hospitality suites and VIP enclosures. The 1.50kg weight gives the board a premium feel while remaining manageable for your waiting staff to carry. You can arrange multiple boards in geometric patterns across your serving stations to feed hundreds of guests. Because we require no security deposit, you keep your event budget focused on food and staff rather than tying up capital in equipment rentals.
