Delivery Information

Price Match

The Arcoroc Intensity range is a well-established choice in commercial tableware, and the 160mm plate sits at the smaller end of the collection — suited to side dishes, bread, amuse-bouche, or dessert presentation. Made from opal glass rather than conventional porcelain, these plates have a clean, bright white finish that holds up well under the repeated thermal and mechanical stresses of a working kitchen environment.

In practice, opal glass performs reliably in operations where crockery takes a daily battering through service, racking, and commercial dishwasher cycles. The material is non-porous, which supports food hygiene standards and means staining from sauces or coloured foods is less of a concern over time. At 240g per plate, they are light enough to handle comfortably during plating but substantial enough to feel appropriate on a restaurant table.

A few practical points worth considering:

  • Opal glass is resistant to thermal shock, making these suitable for use straight from a commercial dishwasher into service
  • Uniform shape and low profile allow consistent stacking, which keeps storage compact on shelving or in the pass
  • The white finish provides a neutral background that suits most plating styles and cuisines
  • Non-porous surface supports HACCP hygiene requirements and resists absorbing odours
  • Sold in packs of 24, which suits both initial purchases and top-up orders to replace attrition

At 160mm, this is a side plate rather than a main course plate. It works well as part of a broader Intensity table setting, alongside larger plates from the same range for a consistent look across covers. For operations needing a main course or sharing plate format, other sizes within the Intensity collection would be more appropriate.

These plates are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, contract caterers, and event catering operations where consistent appearance and durability across a large number of covers are priorities. If you are building a full table setting or need guidance on quantities relative to your cover count, we are happy to help you work through the numbers before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Are these plates suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes. Opal glass is designed to withstand the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers, including the high-temperature rinse cycles used in rack and conveyor machines. This makes them a practical choice for high-turnover operations where crockery is being turned around quickly between sittings.

How many packs would a typical restaurant need to hold in stock?

A general rule of thumb for side plates is to hold around two to three times your cover count, accounting for plates in use, in the wash, and in storage. For a 40-cover restaurant, three packs of 24 would be a reasonable starting point, though operations with faster cover turns may want more. We are happy to talk through quantities if you are setting up a new operation or refreshing existing stock.

Can these plates be used alongside other sizes in the Arcoroc Intensity range?

Yes. The Intensity range is designed as a coordinated collection, so the 160mm plate will match in finish and style with larger Intensity plates used for main courses or sharing dishes. This makes it straightforward to build a consistent table setting across different cover sizes without mixing ranges.
