Price Match

This APS melamine platter is finished to closely replicate the appearance of natural slate, giving a clean, contemporary look that works well on buffet counters, self-service stations, and front-of-house display. It follows the standard GN 1/1 footprint, so it integrates directly into existing gastronorm-based display systems without any adaptation.

Melamine is a practical choice for this kind of service. It holds up well under regular handling and daily dishwasher cycles, and the slate-effect surface maintains its appearance over time without the fragility of real slate or the weight and cost associated with it. Non-slip feet keep the platter stable on counters and display surfaces, which matters during busy service when items are being restocked quickly.

It works well for presenting cheese boards, charcuterie, pastries, chocolates, and cold canapés. The neutral slate aesthetic suits most front-of-house styles without clashing with other tableware.

  • Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
  • Non-slip feet keep it stable during service
  • GN 1/1 format fits standard gastronorm display systems
  • Melamine construction resists chipping better than real slate
  • Consistent slate-effect finish across the surface

If you are building out a buffet display and unsure whether this size is the right fit alongside your other servingware, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

Frequently asked questions

Is this platter suitable for hot food service?

Melamine is not recommended for hot food service or use in ovens and microwaves. This platter is best suited to cold or ambient food presentation, such as cheese, charcuterie, pastries, and cold canapés.

Will this fit into a standard gastronorm display system?

Yes, the GN 1/1 footprint means it sits directly into standard gastronorm-compatible display risers, frames, and counters without modification. If you are mixing platter sizes across a buffet layout, it is worth confirming your display system accepts full GN units.

How does melamine hold up compared to real slate for buffet use?

Melamine is considerably more practical for regular commercial use — it is lighter, dishwasher safe, and resists chipping in a way that natural slate does not. The trade-off is that it is a replication rather than the real material, though the finish is close enough for most front-of-house environments.
