Everywhere I look seems to only cater for 6 or 8 maximum and the tables are rectangular (which I don't want). Where online can I peruse round or square tables to seat 8+ ?

I've looked on the website but they seem to be tiny. I'll have a look in store.
There are more instore I think. I looked on the website too. I think that most are rectangular (or round-to-oval with an extension leaf) though.

a bit too fancy, frizbe. Would like light oak, modern, pref chunky, clean lines.

That might be our best option souply. My BIL had one made, a huge square kitchen table to seat 12 (!), it's a bit country pine for my tastes but very well made.

frizbe, that one is in my faves
If you just want plain and simple it shouldn't be too expensive. Although oak isn't cheap...

Buying one off the peg will be expensive anyway, at least we'd get the exact perfect size if we had it made for us.
Another option is maybe a conference table from an office suppliers?

I fell in love with a gorgeous dining table from dfs when I was looking, but it was rectagular.
Why do you want square?

These are 3' wide by 5/6/7' long and you can add a leaf. A square/round table big enough for 8-10 would have to be about 6' across - why do you now want rectangular?
We have a round table 46" across with 2 18" leaves so it ends up nearly 7' long, sits 10 easily and 12 cosily - can just squeeze 6 round it closed (although our chairs are quite broad, with narrower ones 7 would be possible). Also it's a kind of pedestal so the chairs fit OK.
