Keep food hot with 12" stainless steel vegetable dish lid hire. Large stock, online booking across England & Wales. Competitive prices.
Keep 12-inch vegetable dishes hot during conference lunches and wedding banquets with this essential stainless steel lid. The integral handle allows catering staff to lift the cover quickly between service intervals, maintaining heat for every guest at the table. Pair this lid with our 12-inch divided vegetable dish or 12-inch undivided vegetable dish to complete your buffet setup.
Position the lid over the 12-inch vegetable dish to lock in steam and retain heat. Use the heat-resistant handle to lift the lid at the point of service to protect food temperature. Stack lids by size when not in use to maximise workspace on your service counters.
Cleaning crockery is not only a bothersome chore, but it is the main reason why any crockery gets broken while out on hire. For this reason, we have made it compulsory for all crockery items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All we ask is that food debris is scraped off plates, bowls etc and all liquids are emptied out prior to repacking ready for collection.

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 50m of the vehicle. If it takes the driver longer then you will be charged £12.50 per additional 15 minutes. If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately an additional carriage charge will be added to your order.
If there are likely to be issues with regards to location, staff onsite or the size of the order, then it's imperative you advise us BEFORE you place your order. Please note that our vans cannot go off-road onto grass or dirt areas, particularly when it has been wet due to the chances of the vehicle getting stuck.
As our drivers are multiple drop drivers, any issues with your delivery or collection of your order could result in issues for other customers. We ask that you are mindful of this when we are delivering or collecting your order.
