Choosing the Perfect Crockery for Your Event with Plato Catering Equipment Hire

When it comes to planning an event, every little detail counts and contributes towards creating the perfect ambiance and experience for your guests. One such decision that is really important but can often get overlooked, is choosing the right crockery

Getting your crockery choices right is so important, as it allows food to be served correctly. At Plato Catering Equipment Hire, we’re multi award winning and take pride in offering a range of crockery that not only looks great but also adds to the overall atmosphere of your event. We're all about quality and making sure your table settings are on point! 

Why is choosing the right crockery important? 

You might be thinking that crockery is just plates and bowls… surely picking the right ones can’t be that big of a deal? But the right crockery does more than just hold food and drinks; it sets the tone for your event. It complements your décor, aligns with your theme, and can even add a touch of elegance to your dining experience. Mismatched or inappropriate crockery can detract from the ambience and be difficult or frustrating to use, while thoughtfully chosen pieces can make your event stand out. 

Why should you choose Plato Catering Equipment Hire for your crockery hire needs? 

With years of experience in the industry and variety of crockery available, we make hiring crockery for your event simple. If you’re not quite sure what you need, we can also provide personalised advice and recommendations to help ensure you get exactly what you need. 

Variety of crockery available 

At Plato Catering Equipment Hire, we have plenty of different types of crockery available, including: 

Plates: We offer a variety of sizes, including dinner plates, and dessert plates, ensuring you have the right plate for every course. We also stock ranges like Villeroy & Boch Fine Bone China

Bowls: We provide a wide selection of bowls, including salad bowls, pasta bowls, and dessert bowls.  

Glasses: Our glassware selection is extensive, featuring wine glasses, champagne flutes, cocktail glasses, and much more. We even have Magnifico Fine Italian Crystal Glass available for hire. The right glass can transform your beverage serving, making every drink feel extra special!  

Specialty items: For those looking to add a unique touch to their event, we offer specialty items such as cake stands, dip pots, and unique crockery pieces that take your dessert or buffet presentation to the next level. 

Different styles and designs to suit various events 

No matter what kind of event you are hosting, we have crockery to match! Whether you’re after classic designs like fine bone china for an elegant wedding, or you want something tougher for outdoor BBQs, we’ve got you covered. With such a variety, you can mix and match pieces to create a unique look that reflects your personal style and the theme of your event. 

Ensuring quality 

At Plato Catering Equipment Hire, quality is our top priority. We understand that the success of your event depends on the reliability and appearance of the equipment you use, and crockery is no exception. That’s why we have stringent quality control measures in place: 

Quality control measures: Each piece of crockery undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure it meets our high standards. We check for chips, cracks, and any signs of wear to ensure that every item is in perfect condition. 

Maintenance and preparation: Our crockery is carefully cleaned, sanitised, and polished to ensure it arrives in pristine condition for your event. We take care of all the details, so you can focus on planning and enjoying your event.
