I'm organising a lunch get together for approximately 12/13 people. Menu for lunch is sorted but to save time and trouble was just wondering if anyone could recommend good quality (that look like real) disposable dinner plates.

Like most of us I do have lots of china type plates but wanted to make life a bit easier for myself and reduce the washing up. If they come with pudding bowls too that would be even better.

Oh dear , I think I’d rather eat off a nice China plate !
All that plastic in land fill !
Even nice paper plates are coated with plastic , or they would leak

You could buy bamboo.

Tesco sells disposable bamboo plates and bowls but I’ve no idea on cost. Personally, I’d bite the bullet and use crockery, I prefer to not put more stuff into recycling bins.

I used to have a large quantity of woven cane plate holders, they made heavy duty paper plates look acceptable and paper is better than anything else for recycling.
Unfortunately I lent them out to someone and never got them back.

I got my plates from Temu - very pretty , clear plastic with a gold trim. They won’t be going to land fill just yet - I’ll be using them for many parties to come.

PS - they are disposable, but I preferred to give them a quick wash in warm soapy water, but then I only had 6 guests.
