A buffet at kids height
Low trays on a low table make the buffet self service. If you put the savoury food low down and the sweet things higher up, even the order of the courses sorts itself out.
A kids buffet works if the children can reach it without asking for help.
Trays and bowls hire for kids buffets in Cagliari
Low, wide containers within reach of anyone helping themselves. We will confirm availability during working hours.
When you need buffet trays and bowls
A kids buffet is judged on one thing only: whether they can help themselves. Tall bowls and deep trays force them to ask an adult for help, and within five minutes there is a queue. Low trays and wide bowls, set at a height a child can reach, keep everything moving. In unbreakable material you can put them on the edge of the table without thinking about it, and at the end of the party they go in the dishwasher with the rest. Tell us what you are planning on the menu, because popcorn, cut fruit, nibbles and cakes want different containers, both in depth and in the number of spares.

What you rent and what you get
Rent only for the time necessary, with pick-up on site and support via WhatsApp during business hours.
How it is usually used
Cut fruit and things that leak liquid
For watermelon, fruit salad or mozzarella balls you need a bowl with a real rim, not a flat tray. Tell us what you are putting on the table and we will work out how many deep bowls you need.
Popcorn and crisps to top up
For the things that run out fast it is better to have twice the containers and swap them, instead of refilling them in front of everyone while the queue waits.
Which container each course needs
The depth of the container decides whether a child can help themselves or not.
| What you put on the table | Suitable container | Spares to allow for |
|---|---|---|
| Nibbles and crisps | Wide, shallow bowl | Twice as many: they run out first |
| Popcorn | A tray or a very wide bowl | Twice as many, better if already filled |
| Cut fruit | Deep bowl with a high rim | One spare, for the liquid at the bottom |
| Sweets and biscuits | Flat tray | Just one, easy to top up |
| Cake in slices | Wide flat tray | One, with the scoop separately |
| Mini pizzas and focaccia | Flat tray | Two, to alternate hot and cold |

FAQs about hiring buffet trays and bowls
How many trays do you need for twenty children?
It depends more on the menu than on the numbers: five or six different courses need at least one container each, plus spares for the ones that run out straight away. Send us the menu and we will work it out together.
Are they suitable for contact with food?
Yes, they are food grade containers and dishwasher safe. We ask you to return them clean and dry.
Can I use them for an adults party too?
Yes. They are the same containers as at any buffet, chosen low and wide precisely so the children can reach them too.
How do they go with the rest of the table?
The simplest way is to start from the complete table set and add trays and bowls to suit the menu. If you are having popcorn too, see the popcorn machine.
