Crockery Hire London — White Porcelain Plates for Every Event
The right crockery sets the tone for a meal. Whether you are hosting a formal wedding breakfast in Mayfair, a corporate dinner in Canary Wharf, or a marquee celebration in Hampstead, our Athena white porcelain plates provide the clean, classic look that works with any theme and colour scheme. Our crockery hire service delivers across all London boroughs — from Kensington and Chelsea to Hackney, Islington, Tower Hamlets and Southwark.
White plates are the universal choice of caterers and event planners for good reason — they let the food take centre stage. Our Athena range features a simple, elegant rimmed design that photographs beautifully and stacks neatly for efficient service. Looking for crockery hire in London? You have come to the right place.
Our Plate Range
Dinner Plate (9 inch) — The workhorse of any place setting. Sized perfectly for main courses, this plate gives chefs ample space for plating while keeping the presentation tight and professional. The slightly raised rim contains sauces and dressings.
Starter and Dessert Plate (8 inch) — A versatile smaller plate suited to starters, desserts, cheese courses and canapés. Using a dedicated starter plate rather than serving everything on dinner plates instantly elevates the dining experience for your guests.
Why Hire Crockery Instead of Buying?
Purchasing 100 or more dinner plates for a one-off event means significant upfront cost, storage space and the risk of breakages gathering dust in a cupboard. Crockery hire in London eliminates all of that. You get pristine, matching plates for the exact number of guests you need, with no leftovers to store and no washing up to worry about.
Hiring is also the more sustainable option. Our plates are reused across hundreds of events, reducing waste compared to disposable or cheap alternatives that end up in landfill after a single use.
Combine Plates with Cutlery and Glassware
For a complete table setting, pair our Athena plates with our Olympia stainless steel cutlery and our full glassware range. Ordering everything from a single supplier simplifies your logistics — one delivery, one collection, one point of contact. Many clients find that hiring a full place setting works out more cost-effective than sourcing plates, cutlery and glasses separately.
Crockery Delivery and Collection Across London
We deliver crockery and plate hire across all London boroughs, including Westminster, Camden, Lambeth, Greenwich, Richmond, Wandsworth and East London. Plates arrive the day before your event in protective crates, clean and ready to use. After your event, simply stack them back in the crates and we collect the following day. The standard hire period is three days, with longer durations available on request.
