If you are using our 12" vegetable dishes then you may need the lids too - and we've got them right here. Made from stainless steel and featuring an integral handle, these lids are just the job.
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.
