Product Description
The Ascot Wide Rim Flat Profile Plate from Royal Bone China is a 225mm side or starter plate produced in bone china. Unlike standard porcelain or stoneware options of a similar size, bone china carries a noticeably lighter weight — the individual plate comes in at 385g — and a translucent, refined finish that sits appropriately in formal dining environments.
The flat profile is the defining characteristic of this version within the Ascot range. Where a conventional wide rim plate carries a more pronounced bowl, this plate sits almost entirely level. That distinction matters at the pass: flat plating surfaces suit contemporary dressing styles, tasting course presentations, and any application where the chef wants the food to read cleanly without the plate itself pulling focus. The wide rim provides space for garnish placement and sauce work without encroaching on the food.
In service, the lighter weight of bone china is a genuine operational benefit rather than just an aesthetic one. Staff carrying multiple plates during a banqueting set-down or a busy restaurant service will find bone china noticeably more manageable than heavier alternatives. That said, bone china still requires appropriate handling — correct racking during dishwashing and careful storage will protect the finish and extend the working life of the plates considerably.
- Lighter than comparable porcelain, reducing fatigue during multi-plate service
- Flat profile supports modern plating styles and tasting course presentation
- Wide rim gives chefs a clear canvas for garnish and sauce placement
- Refined bone china finish appropriate for formal and fine dining settings
- Pack of 12 aligns with standard cover planning for restaurants and hotels
This plate is well suited to restaurants, hotels, private members' clubs, and banqueting operations where a consistent, upmarket table presentation is expected. Sites running larger covers should consider ordering across multiple packs to maintain adequate breakage stock. The Ascot range extends across other sizes and profiles if you are building out a full multi-course setting.
If you are working through which sizes and profiles to pair across a menu, we are happy to talk it through before you finalise your order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Bone china performs well in commercial dishwashers provided it is racked correctly to prevent contact between plates during the cycle. It is more resistant to chipping under normal service conditions than standard porcelain, but like any fine tableware it benefits from careful handling in storage and during transport between kitchen and table.
- The flat profile works well for dressed starters, amuse-bouches, and tasting courses where the food sits naturally level. It is less suited to liquid-based starters or dishes with a sauce that needs to be contained, where a plate with a more pronounced rim or shallow bowl would be more practical.
- A useful rule of thumb is to hold two to three times your maximum cover count in tableware stock to allow for breakages, dishwashing cycles, and stock in transit between services. For a 60-cover banqueting operation, ordering five to six packs of 12 as a working minimum would be a reasonable starting point, with additional stock held as breakage reserve.
