Every unit measures exactly 0.1900 metres in length, 0.1350 metres in width, and 0.0350 metres in height. The lightweight 0.12kg construction includes an integral handle, allowing your servers to lift the cover with one hand.

Pair this cover with the 8-inch vegetable dish to complete your serving setup. Expo Hire operates a "Send It Back Dirty" policy for all catering items. Your team returns the stainless steel lids unwashed after the event, and we handle the cleaning. This saves your staff hours of washing up at the end of a busy shift. You can also browse our catering equipment and tableware to find matching items for your buffet stations.

Professional caterers use these covers across various event formats:
\\n
\\n- Banquet Service: Waitstaff carry hot vegetables from the kitchen to the dining room. The lid retains heat until the food reaches the table.
\\n- Buffet Receptions: Guests lift the covers at self-service stations. The metal material withstands constant handling throughout the meal.
\\n- Corporate Lunches: Event organisers set up temporary dining spaces in offices. Covered dishes keep the food presentable and warm until delegates break for lunch.
