Product Description
The Terrace Truffle range from Steelite is a vitrified stoneware tableware collection designed to bring the warmth and texture of handcrafted stoneware to a commercial dining setting. These 270mm coupe plates carry a semi-matt glaze that pools naturally into the surface embossment, giving each piece an organic, hand-worked quality without sacrificing the consistency or durability that front-of-house service demands. The result is a plate that reads as considered and artisan on the table while performing reliably through a full service.
In a busy restaurant or hotel environment, tableware takes a considerable amount of daily wear. Steelite's vitrified stoneware construction is well suited to this — it is a durable, chip-resistant material that holds up to repeated handling, stacking, and commercial dishwasher cycles. The polished foot reduces the risk of scratching or chipping when plates are stacked in a pass or stored in a plate rack between services, which matters when you are running a full cover count every sitting.
Practical points worth noting for front-of-house use:
- Dishwasher safe — suitable for commercial glasswasher and dishwasher cycles
- Microwave and oven safe — useful for finishing or holding dishes on the pass
- Freezer safe — supports prep and pre-plating workflows where relevant
- Polished foot reduces stacking damage during storage
- Sold in packs of 12, making par-stock planning straightforward
The 270mm diameter sits comfortably as a main course plate for most plating styles. It is worth considering your portion sizes and plating approach — operators serving smaller or more composed dishes may find a smaller plate from the same range a better fit, while those running larger sharing plates or generous portions may want to look at wider options within the Terrace Truffle collection.
This range is well suited to restaurants, boutique hotels, and private dining rooms where the aesthetic of the tableware is a considered part of the guest experience, rather than a background detail. It works particularly well alongside natural materials, earthy tones, and relaxed fine dining concepts.
If you are specifying tableware across a full cover count or want to discuss how the Terrace Truffle range fits alongside your existing table setting, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Vitrified stoneware is a well-proven material in commercial tableware, offering good chip resistance and durability through repeated dishwasher cycles and daily handling. Steelite products are widely used in hotel and restaurant environments where tableware takes significant daily wear, and the polished foot on these plates helps reduce attrition when stacking in a busy pass or plate store.
- A 270mm coupe plate works well for most standard main course portions, giving enough surface area for composed dishes without feeling oversized. If your kitchen plates very generous portions or uses a lot of garnish space, it is worth considering whether a larger diameter would suit your style better — conversely, for smaller tasting course portions a 220mm or 240mm option within the range may give a tighter, more intentional presentation.
- These plates are oven safe, which means they can be pre-warmed in a conventional oven or used briefly on a heated pass. They are not suitable for direct induction hob use, as vitrified stoneware does not respond to induction fields. For plate warming in service, a dedicated plate warmer or low oven is the practical approach.
