Product Description
These earthenware tapas dishes are made in Spain and intended for traditional tapas service. Each dish is 150mm in diameter — a practical size for individual portions of olives, patatas bravas, chorizo, or similar small plates. The pack contains 24 pieces, which suits a reasonable level of cover turnover without requiring constant re-runs to the kitchen.
In service, the earthenware construction holds heat reasonably well once warmed, which helps keep food at temperature on the table. The dishes can go from oven or microwave straight to the pass, reducing the need for transfer plating and keeping the presentation consistent throughout service. They are also freezer-safe, which allows for pre-portioned preparations to be held and finished to order.
- Suitable for oven, microwave and freezer use
- Goes direct from kitchen to table for authentic presentation
- Earthenware construction retains warmth during service
- Consistent 150mm sizing supports portion control
- Pack of 24 provides a practical opening stock for tapas menus
As with all unglazed or partially glazed earthenware, these dishes will benefit from careful handling during washing — commercial dishwashers can be used, but the long-term appearance of any rustic finish will depend on water hardness and detergent strength. It is worth running a small test batch before committing to full-service volume. Storage space for 24 pieces should also be factored in, as earthenware stacks less compactly than standard ceramic.
These dishes are well suited to tapas bars, Spanish restaurants, and any operation running a small plates or sharing menu where presentation in the cooking vessel is part of the offer. For higher-volume sites needing larger quantities, it is worth considering whether a bigger pack size would reduce the frequency of reordering.
If you are building out a tapas table service and want to talk through quantities or presentation options, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- They can be put through a commercial dishwasher, but earthenware is more susceptible to surface wear over time than standard vitrified china. High water temperatures, aggressive detergents, and hard water can all affect the finish. It is worth testing a small number of pieces through your machine before committing them to a full wash cycle routine.
- That depends on how many dishes per cover your menu requires and how quickly your wash-up cycle turns them around. For a tapas menu with three to four dishes per cover, 24 pieces will support a modest service — typically around six to eight covers at a time. Busier operations may want to hold additional stock to avoid bottlenecks during peak service.
- Yes — they are oven safe, so food can be prepared and finished in the dish before going straight to the table. This works well for dishes that benefit from being served in the cooking vessel, such as gambas al ajillo or baked cheese. Always ensure the dishes are brought up to temperature gradually to reduce the risk of thermal shock.
