[Sca-cooks] trenchers

With all of the questions/responses about the use of trenchers
at feasts, (and thanks to you all, I have been interested)
has anything been mentioned about the use of plates, bowls, etc
at roadhouses/inns?  I would assume that if you were on pilgrimage,
you would have your own cooking/eating utensils; and if you
were of the nobility then your retainers would make sure
you had what you needed.

But if you were, say, a merchant, mid 13th - mid 14th century -
would the innkeeper be expected to provide? like modern-day
eating establishments?

thanks
