Small ramekin - hire for professional catering
Commercial kitchens demand durable crockery. These white porcelain ramekins feature a vitrified finish and rolled edges to resist chipping during fast-paced service. You save hours of labour after the event concludes because Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service on all crockery. Your staff scrape the leftover food and pack the unwashed ramekins back into their crates. We handle the commercial washing at our depot.
Event organisers use these 8cm dishes across various dining formats. Place them alongside main courses at corporate banquets to hold individual portions of peppercorn sauce. Position them on buffet stations to serve tapenade, olives, or hummus. Coordinate these dishes with your catering equipment hire order to complete your dining setup. They fit neatly onto side plates and integrate well with standard table hire layouts for formal weddings, charity balls, or gala dinners.
Breakages happen in busy hospitality environments. Every order includes a free minor damage waiver to cover accidental chips or cracks on your hired crockery. We deliver from 11 regional depots across England and Wales, providing live vehicle tracking and SMS arrival times on your delivery day. You never need to pay a security deposit, and large orders over £1,000 qualify for a 25% advance deposit option. Stock levels update in real time on this page.
