Delivery Information

Price Match

The APS Stone Art flat plate is a 250mm melamine plate finished with a traditionally dappled gloss surface and a thick brown rim. The slightly irregular shaping is intentional, giving the plate a hand-crafted, rustic character that works well with contemporary casual dining, street food, and modern pub food presentations. It is sold singly, allowing operators to build quantities to suit their cover numbers.

Melamine construction means the plate is robust enough for the demands of a busy front-of-house environment. It resists chipping and cracking far better than ceramic at this size, which is a practical consideration when plates are handled in volume during a busy service. At 450g it has a reassuring weight in hand without being cumbersome for service staff.

  • Suitable for commercial dishwashers — no specialist warewashing needed
  • Microwave-safe for plating and brief heat retention
  • Chip- and crack-resistant melamine construction for longevity
  • Distinctive dappled finish reduces the visual impact of minor surface wear over time
  • Sold singly, so quantities can be tailored to exact cover requirements

There are no electrical, gas, or water installation considerations for tableware of this kind. The main practical question for most operators is quantity — it is worth calculating against peak cover numbers and allowing for breakages and rotation through the dishwasher cycle. For venues running a high-turnover casual dining or café operation, this plate suits a relaxed, earthy aesthetic. Operators seeking a more formal or plain-white presentation may want to explore other ranges in the APS collection.

If you are building a full table setting or matching this plate to other APS Stone Art pieces and would like to talk through quantities or suitability, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Is this plate suitable for a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, the APS Stone Art plate is rated for commercial dishwashing. Melamine tableware generally performs well in standard warewasher cycles, though it is worth avoiding very high-temperature programmes where possible to preserve the gloss finish over time.

How many plates should I order for a restaurant or café setting?

A common starting point is three to four times your peak cover number to allow for plates in use, in the wash cycle, and in reserve. For high-turnover operations with fast table turns, a larger buffer is worth considering. If you would like help working through quantities, we are happy to advise.

Does this plate suit all types of food service or is it better suited to certain concepts?

The Stone Art range is particularly well suited to casual dining, gastropub, and rustic or artisan food concepts where an earthy, tactile aesthetic adds to the presentation. It is less suited to formal dining settings where a clean, plain-white finish is expected.
