Being a balebus, the balebatishe answer seems more obvious to me: Go to
the table you are seated at, take a roll with you to the washing station,
wash and make hamotzi on a whole roll.

That said, I have noticed many kosher caterers use mini rolls at the
washing station. I had assumed, to avoid this question.
