Butter pads are essential when serving bread at a function or banquet. Butter can often need time to melt when being served, particularly if being taken from a cold location and the butter pad offers this space on the table.
Like all of our crockery hire, these butter pads are fully vitrified for strength. This means that they can be used safely in dishwashers, freezers and microwaves without worry.
Don't worry about cleaning your crockery hire prior to collection
If there is one thing we've learned from hiring crockery in Manchester and the surrounding areas, it's that not only is washing crockery hire up is a boring chore, but it's when crockery is most likely to get broken while on hire.
It's for this reason we have had to make it compulsory for all crockery items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. This means that the only thing you need to do before we collect is to make sure crockery is free of food debris and liquids, and repacked in the boxes supplied.
