Disposable tableware and kitchen renovation tips please?

I'm about to have my kitchen ripped out and a new one fitted. (Happy days, eh?)

I'm basically going to have a microwave and an airfryer. I'm batch cooking a few bits for the freezer and I've put in an Ocado order for 10 ready meals. I shall get a selection of cold meats, chicken etc and buy some of the ready made salad bowls. along the way.

I'll have barely any preparation area and I suppose washing up will have to be in the bathroom.

I'm thinking that buying disposable plates and bowls would be sensible. Just had a quick look on Amazon and I am reluctant to use single use plastic, so I wondered if anyone has used the disposable plates made from sugar cane fibres? I'm just worried that hot food will make them go soggy and mushy?

And if anyone has any tips about how not to go completely bonkers whilst have a kitchen re-fit I'd be very happy to hear them.

We're waiting for a quote but I might just settle for new worktops 😯

We kept out two big china pasta bowls to use for nearly everything, and washed up in the bathroom.
I was glad to have proper cutlery and crockery - as camping out in one room is grim. I bought a pack of bamboo plates but only used them once or twice.
