Beautifully present sushi, tapas or other buffet items on these 1/3 gastronorm size slates. These slates have been varnished to make them waterproof and oil repellent. The natural jagged edges give a striking appearance, especially against a white cloth. Natural slate is also great for serving cheese boards or cold meat platters.
Do I need to clean these items before they are returned from hire
From our experience of delivering tableware to Southampton and the south coast area we've come to learn that cleaning tableware is not only a pain, but the time when it's most likely to go missing.
This is why we have made it mandatory for all tableware and serving items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All we ask of our customers is that all food debris is removed from tableware and serving items before it's packed ready for delivery.
