Platters

The APS Element rectangular platter is a melamine serving piece designed for buffet presentation and cold food display. At 310 x 105mm it sits in a useful mid-size range — long enough to hold a reasonable spread of canapés, charcuterie, or portioned items, narrow enough to be arranged in rows on a buffet table without dominating the layout. The concrete-effect finish gives it a contemporary, understated look that works well against both natural timber and plain white tableware.

Melamine at this weight and construction is a practical choice for busy front-of-house environments. It is noticeably more resilient to knocks and drops than ceramic or slate alternatives, which matters when pieces are being moved frequently between a prep area and the service floor. The surface cleans down easily, which helps maintain presentation standards across back-to-back sittings.

• Lightweight enough for comfortable single-handed carrying during service
• Concrete-effect finish suits contemporary casual-dining and event presentations
• Stackable profile makes storage straightforward between service periods
• Resistant to everyday knocks — more durable than ceramic or slate equivalents
• Easy to clean down quickly between covers

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for use in a microwave or conventional oven, so this piece is strictly for ambient or cold food presentation. It is not designed for hot-hold service.

This platter is well suited to hotels, event caterers, cafés, and casual-dining venues running buffet or grazing-style service. If your operation calls for larger statement pieces or a coordinated set in varying sizes, the APS Element range includes additional formats that complement this piece.

If you are building out a buffet display and want to talk through quantities, sizing, or how pieces work together, we are happy to help you get it right.

The APS Loops platter is a half-gastronorm melamine serving piece designed for buffet and food display use in commercial catering environments. Its GN 1/2 footprint means it sits directly into standard gastronorm setups or display risers, keeping buffet layouts consistent and organised. The blue colourway makes it a practical choice for fish, seafood, or cold food presentation where a distinct colour signal helps guests and staff identify food categories at a glance.

Melamine construction gives this platter a more durable and chip-resistant profile than ceramic alternatives, which is a practical consideration in high-turnover buffet settings where pieces are handled repeatedly throughout service. At 840g it is light enough for straightforward clearing and resetting without being flimsy. The temperature tolerance allows use with chilled foods straight from refrigerated storage without risk of cracking or warping.

• GN 1/2 footprint integrates with standard gastronorm buffet setups
• Melamine construction resists chipping better than ceramic in busy service
• Blue finish aids food categorisation and presentation consistency
• Lightweight enough for quick clearing and resetting between sittings
• Suitable for refrigerated storage prior to service

This platter is best suited to cold buffet presentations, carvery side dishes, or canapé and finger food displays. It is worth noting that the temperature range does not extend to oven or hot-hold use, so it should not be used in heated display units or placed in a bain-marie. For operators needing a broader range of sizes or colours within the same range, other GN formats are available.

If you are building out a buffet setup and want to make sure the pieces work together — sizing, colour coding, display risers — our team is happy to talk through what will work best for your service style.

The Steelite Scape 300mm smoked glass round platter is a multi-material tableware piece designed to work across a range of service formats. The smoked glass finish gives a contemporary, understated look that works equally well on a sharing menu, a casual dining table, or a well-presented buffet spread. Each pack contains six platters, making it a practical purchase for venues looking to build or refresh a consistent tabletop scheme.

Glass tableware at this size is commonly used for antipasti, charcuterie, desserts, and cheese boards, where presentation is part of the offering. The Scape range is designed with food service environments in mind rather than purely decorative use, so durability and repeatability across a full service are genuine considerations in its construction. The smoked tone provides a neutral backdrop that suits most food colours without competing visually with the dish.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points to consider are:

• Pack of six supports consistent cover presentation from the outset
• Smoked glass finish is versatile across breakfast, lunch, and evening service styles
• 300mm diameter suits sharing portions and individual starter-sized presentations
• Glass construction allows straightforward cleaning and maintains appearance over repeated service cycles
• Works across buffet display, table service, and casual dining formats

Glass platters at this size are not suitable for direct oven or hot-plate use, and care should be taken with handling during busy service to manage breakage rates, as with any glassware. Operators running high-tempo covers may wish to consider whether ceramic alternatives from the same Scape range better suit their service pace.

This platter is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues where presentation quality matters and a consistent tabletop look is part of the dining experience. If you are building a larger table scheme or want to discuss how the Scape range fits within your wider tableware selection, we are happy to help you think it through.

This APS revolving platter is made from natural slate and sits on a rotating base, allowing guests to access sharing food from any angle without lifting or passing the board. At 320mm in diameter it offers a practical surface area for charcuterie, cheese, canapés, or small sharing portions.

Slate brings a clean, neutral aesthetic that works well in contemporary dining settings — the natural variation in the stone means each piece looks slightly different, which tends to read well on a buffet table or as a centrepiece for table-sharing. The rotating mechanism keeps things practical during service, reducing reach and keeping the presentation tidy as guests help themselves.

From an operational standpoint, this kind of piece is commonly used in hotels, wine bars, gastro pubs, and event catering where the presentation of sharing platters is part of the guest experience. It holds up well to regular service use, though slate does require a degree of care — it should be hand-washed rather than put through a commercial dishwasher, and like all natural stone it can be susceptible to chipping if knocked against hard surfaces.

• Natural slate surface suits cold food presentation and ambient service
• Rotating base improves guest access during shared dining
• Works well for charcuterie, cheese, bread, and canapé service
• Lightweight enough at 1.35kg for easy table placement and clearing
• Requires hand-washing and careful storage to avoid chipping

If you are sourcing platters for a larger buffet operation or high-turnover event service, it is worth considering whether a larger format or a more robust material would better suit your throughput. Our team is happy to talk through what works best for your specific service style.

The APS Pure round cake platter is a straightforward melamine serving piece designed for displaying cakes, pastries, and confectionery in buffet, café, and hospitality settings. The 310mm diameter provides a practical footprint for a whole cake or an arranged selection of smaller items, and the black finish gives a clean, neutral presentation that suits most counter or buffet layouts.

Melamine is a sensible choice for food service display use. It is more resilient than ceramic or glass under busy conditions, resistant to chipping, and easy to wipe down between service periods. The platter's non-slip feet keep it stable on counter surfaces, which matters in busy or self-service environments where items are frequently placed and removed. The carved edge is designed to locate with the compatible plastic cover lid — sold separately — allowing food to remain protected during display without the need for cling film or improvised covers.

• Non-slip feet keep the platter steady on buffet counters and cake displays
• Carved edge allows the optional lid to seat cleanly for covered display
• Black melamine finish is easy to wipe clean between service periods
• Suitable for whole cakes, sliced confectionery, or arranged pastry selections
• Lightweight enough for front-of-house staff to handle without difficulty

This platter is best suited to cafés, hotel buffets, event caterers, and patisseries looking for a practical, consistent display piece. It is a single-tier flat platter — operators needing tiered or elevated display options will find alternatives in the broader range better suited to that purpose.

If you are putting together a display setup and want to make sure the platter and lid combination works for your specific counter arrangement, we are happy to talk it through.

These Steelite Craft rectangular platters are GN 1/3 melamine servingware designed for buffet presentation, canapé service, and cold food display. The white colourwash with a speckled glaze-effect finish gives each platter an artisan, handcrafted appearance without the fragility of ceramic or stoneware. They are supplied in packs of three, which suits operators setting up multiple display stations or rotating items through service.

In practice, melamine performs well in the kind of environments where ceramic would be a liability — outdoor catering, pop-up events, high-traffic buffet runs, and staff-heavy service where accidental drops are a realistic prospect. The material is resistant to chipping and staining, and the platters are dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround time between services manageable without special handling.

• Chip and stain resistant — holds up through repeated service cycles
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning between uses
• GN 1/3 footprint fits standard gastronorm display risers and chilled units
• Artisan speckled finish works well with rustic, organic, or natural food presentations
• Pack of three supports multi-station buffet layouts without additional orders

The GN 1/3 format is worth noting practically: these platters align with standard gastronorm infrastructure, so they sit neatly in compatible display units, chilled counters, or on gastronorm-based risers. They are also designed for use with the Steelite Craft Gastronorm Cover, which extends their usefulness where food needs to be held or transported between preparation and service areas.

These platters are best suited to catering operations, hotels, event venues, and hospitality businesses running regular buffet or canapé service. They are a practical choice where presentation matters but the risk of breakage makes ceramic impractical. For operations requiring larger serving surface areas, wider GN format platters within the same range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and format fits your existing display setup or service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The APS Dual Tone Rectangular Platter is a melamine serving platter from APS's Dual Tone range, designed for food presentation at buffets, catered events, and hospitality service. It features a white interior surface paired with a black matt exterior, giving it a clean, contemporary appearance that works well in both casual and more formal settings.

Melamine platters of this type are a practical choice for busy service environments where breakage risk is a real concern. Unlike porcelain or slate, melamine is lightweight and resistant to chipping, making it easier to handle during high-turnover service and reducing the cost of replacement over time. The matt black exterior also helps to conceal handling marks during service, keeping presentation tidy throughout an event.

• White interior surface shows food presentation clearly against a neutral background
• Black matt exterior reduces the visibility of fingerprints and handling marks
• Melamine construction is chip-resistant and suitable for frequent handling
• Lightweight at 250g, reducing fatigue during high-volume buffet setup
• Stackable form factor supports efficient storage between service periods

There are no special installation requirements for this platter. It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for use in microwaves or ovens, and should be hand-washed or placed on the top rack of a commercial dishwasher where manufacturer guidance permits. It is not a substitute for heated display equipment where temperature retention is required.

This platter is well suited to catering operations, event hospitality, hotel buffets, and deli-style food service where consistent, practical presentation is needed across a number of covers. For operations requiring larger surface areas or higher-volume display, wider platter formats are available within the range.

If you're building out a buffet setup or unsure which sizes and formats will work best for your service style, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Olympia natural slate boards are a straightforward, practical choice for operators who want to present buffet items, cheese, charcuterie, tapas, or sushi directly on the board as part of the tableware. Sized to GN 1/4 and sold in pairs, they fit neatly within standard gastronorm display setups, making them easy to integrate into an existing buffet or counter arrangement.

In service, the boards earn their place through ease of turnaround. The natural slate is varnished to make it waterproof and oil repellent, which matters in a busy environment where boards need to be wiped down and back in use quickly. The coating also prevents the slate from absorbing food odours — a practical consideration when boards are used repeatedly for strong-smelling items such as aged cheese or cured meats. Cleaning requires nothing more than a wipe with a small amount of detergent.

Key operational points worth noting:

• Varnished surface resists oil and moisture, protecting the slate over repeated services
• Odour-resistant coating prevents cross-contamination of flavours between uses
• GN 1/4 sizing integrates with standard gastronorm display trays and risers
• Sold in pairs, giving immediate flexibility for simultaneous presentation
• Natural slate finish provides a neutral, clean backdrop without competing with the food

These boards are best suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers looking for a reusable, low-maintenance presentation surface. They are not dishwasher-safe — hand cleaning is required — so factor that into your service workflow if turnaround speed is critical. For higher-volume buffet operations needing a greater number of boards in rotation, it is worth considering how many pairs you will need to keep service running smoothly.

If you are unsure how these fit alongside your existing display setup, or need guidance on quantities for your service style, our team is happy to help you think it through.

The APS Marone platter is a melamine serving piece finished in black with a contrasting brown edge, designed to replicate the look of stoneware without the weight or fragility that comes with it. It sits within APS's Marone range, which is built around a consistent rustic aesthetic suited to informal dining and buffet presentation.

Melamine is a practical choice in busy food service environments where crockery and serveware take a regular knock. It resists chipping and cracking under the kind of everyday handling that would eventually damage ceramic alternatives, and at 320g it is light enough to handle comfortably during service. The stoneware-style finish means it presents well on a buffet counter or sharing table without looking like functional catering kit.

• Resistant to chipping and cracking under regular commercial use
• Lightweight at 320g — easy to handle and carry during service
• Consistent aesthetic across the Marone range for coordinated presentation
• Smooth surface that wipes clean quickly between covers

It is worth noting that melamine serveware is not suitable for microwave use and should not be placed in a commercial dishwasher at very high temperatures over extended periods, as this can affect the surface finish over time. Hand washing or low-temperature dishwasher cycles are recommended to maintain appearance.

This platter is well suited to informal dining operations, buffet-style service, sharing plates, and food display in cafés, bistros, and event catering. For operators running larger buffet spreads or higher-volume display setups, larger platters within the same Marone range may be worth considering to maintain a consistent look across the table.

If you are building out a buffet display or coordinating serveware across a new concept, we are happy to help you work through what you need.

This APS melamine platter is part of the Dual Tone range — a series of serveware designed to give buffet and event presentations a clean, contemporary look without the fragility of ceramic or glass. The piece features a white interior surface with a matt black exterior, giving it a two-tone appearance that works well against both light and dark table dressings.

In a buffet or function setting, melamine at this weight and construction holds up well to repeated handling and the general wear of service. It won't chip or shatter if knocked during a busy function, which makes it a practical choice where breakage costs and turnaround time between services matter. The matt exterior finish resists fingerprints reasonably well and wipes down easily.

• Suitable for cold food presentation, canapés, cheese, charcuterie, and pastry displays
• Lightweight enough for front-of-house staff to handle comfortably during set-up
• Stacks cleanly for storage between events
• Matt black exterior suits modern and monochrome table styling
• Dishwasher safe, reducing turnaround time between covers

This platter is best suited to event caterers, hotel banqueting teams, and function venues running buffet-style service. It is a mid-size piece — practical for individual stations or as part of a layered display using multiple platters. For operators building out a full buffet range, APS produce complementary pieces within the Dual Tone collection that will coordinate well.

If you're putting together a buffet display and want guidance on sizing or mixing pieces across a service, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Steelite Scape Melamine Oval Platter is a 400mm serving platter designed for buffet presentation, sharing portions, and food display in commercial catering environments. Made from melamine, it carries the distinctive textured swirl finish that characterises the Scape range, giving it a more considered appearance than standard white melamine serviceware.

In practice, melamine platters of this type are a practical choice wherever operators want a consistent, presentable look across a buffet or sharing table without the breakage risk and handling weight associated with ceramics or stoneware. The 400mm length is a useful working size — generous enough for a shared starter or a centrepiece dessert, manageable enough for front-of-house staff to carry and position without difficulty. At 800g the platter has enough substance to feel solid on the table without being cumbersome.

Key practical points for operators:

• Melamine construction resists chipping and cracking under everyday service conditions
• Textured Scape finish helps disguise minor surface wear over time
• Suitable for dishwasher cleaning, supporting straightforward turnaround between sittings
• Consistent sizing makes stacking and storage in back-of-house straightforward
• Works well alongside other pieces in the Scape range for a coordinated table

Melamine is not suitable for use in conventional ovens, and operators should be aware that prolonged exposure to very high dishwasher temperatures can dull the surface finish over time. This platter is best kept to ambient and cold food presentation rather than hot service.

This platter suits hotels, event caterers, buffet restaurants, and hospitality venues that need reliable, presentable serveware in volume. If you are equipping a large-scale buffet operation and need guidance on quantities or coordinating pieces within the Scape range, the team is happy to assist.

The APS Apart range is a straightforward, well-finished line of white melamine buffet trays designed to integrate cleanly into self-service and staffed buffet setups. This GN 1/2 tray is rectangular and sized to fit standard GN half configurations, making it easy to work into existing buffet counters, display risers, or chafing frame arrangements without adaptation.

Melamine is the practical choice for buffet display ware in commercial settings. It holds its appearance well under regular handling, resists the minor knocks and stacking pressures that come with busy service, and is straightforward to clean. The material is rated to handle temperatures between -50°C and 100°C, which means it is suitable for both cold display and warm holding service — a useful range for operators running varied buffet formats across breakfast, lunch, or evening service.

Operationally, the benefits are simple but worth noting:

• Fits standard GN 1/2 configurations for easy integration into buffet counters and risers
• White finish presents food cleanly and works across most table styling
• Temperature tolerance supports both cold and warm display applications
• Robust enough for daily service use and regular washing
• Lightweight at just over 1kg, reducing handling fatigue during setup and cleardown

This tray is best suited to hotels, event caterers, conference venues, and restaurants running buffet or display service where a clean, consistent look is needed without significant outlay. It is a standard-duty piece — appropriate for most buffet volumes, though operators running very high-turnover or outdoor events may want to consider heavier-gauge options from the wider catalogue.

If you are equipping a buffet setup from scratch or want to confirm quantities for a particular service format, the team is happy to assist.

The APS Wave is a full GN 1/1 melamine serving platter in a clean white finish with a gently waved profile. It sits within the GN system, so it works directly alongside standard gastronorm equipment and fits neatly into most buffet display setups without any adaptation.

In practice, this style of platter is commonly used for cold buffet service, canapé presentation, and antipasti or charcuterie displays. The wave profile breaks up flat table arrangements and helps direct guests visually along a buffet line. For high-turnover events — conference lunches, hotel breakfast buffets, or function catering — a consistent look across the table is easier to achieve when platters share a common size and finish, and the GN footprint makes that straightforward to plan.

Melamine is a practical choice for this kind of service. It holds up well under repeated use and is notably more resistant to chipping and surface staining than ceramic alternatives at a comparable price point. Key practical advantages include:

• Dishwasher safe, reducing turnaround time between covers
• Chip and stain resistant surface holds its appearance over repeated use
• GN 1/1 footprint integrates with standard buffet risers and display systems
• Lightweight relative to ceramic, reducing handling fatigue during setup
• White finish presents most food types clearly without competing visually

One consideration worth noting: melamine is not suitable for use in microwave ovens or for hot food service above moderate temperatures, so this platter is best suited to ambient or chilled presentation rather than heated display.

This platter is well suited to hotels, event caterers, hospitality venues, and any operation running regular buffet or display service. For sites requiring a very large volume of covers or a broader range of GN sizes within a single range, it is worth speaking to us about what else is available within the APS Wave line before ordering.

If you have questions about quantities, coordinating pieces, or whether this fits your current display setup, we are happy to help you work it through before you commit.

The Steelite Scape glass platter is a 300mm round serving piece designed for food presentation in commercial hospitality settings. Made from glass, the Scape range combines a clean, contemporary aesthetic with practical durability, making it a workable choice for operators who want to present food attractively without moving away from glass tableware.

In service, glass platters of this type are commonly used across buffet counters, sharing plates, canapé service, and cold starter presentations. The 300mm diameter suits individual sharing portions or small composed dishes well, and the pack of six makes it practical to rotate through service without constant retrieval from wash. Glass presents food clearly without competing visually with the dish itself, which is why it remains a reliable choice in fine dining, hotel banqueting, and casual dining alike.

• Consistent presentation across a matched set of six
• Glass surface is hygienic, non-porous, and easy to clean
• Neutral appearance complements a wide range of food styles
• Suitable for cold food presentation, sharing plates, and buffet display
• Steelite manufacture supports reliable availability for replacement stock

As with any glass tableware in a busy operation, handling procedures and storage conditions are worth considering. Glass benefits from careful stacking and appropriate racking in the dishwasher to maintain appearance and longevity through heavy cover cycles.

These platters are well suited to restaurants, hotels, event caterers, and hospitality venues where presentation quality matters and glass tableware is already part of the service style. If you are equipping a larger buffet operation or need guidance on quantities relative to cover numbers, our team is happy to talk it through.

The APS Pure cake platter is a round melamine serving plate designed for buffet counters, cake displays, and front-of-house presentation. At 310mm in diameter, it offers a practical surface for whole cakes, tray bakes, or other portioned items that benefit from a clean, uncluttered display.

Melamine is a well-established material in commercial catering for good reason. It holds its appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles, resists chipping better than ceramic equivalents, and is noticeably lighter to handle during service. The white finish provides a neutral backdrop that works across a range of food types without competing with presentation.

In practical terms, this platter works well as part of a tiered or multi-level buffet layout. It is designed to be used with compatible display stands from the APS Pure range, allowing operators to build structured displays that make efficient use of counter space. Key practical points include:

• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
• Melamine construction reduces breakage risk compared to ceramic
• Straight outer edges and clean corner detail suit contemporary display styles
• Lightweight at 775g, reducing handling strain during frequent resets
• Compatible with APS Pure display stands for tiered buffet builds

This platter suits cafés, hotel buffets, event caterers, and any operation where cake or pastry display is a regular part of service. It is a single platter — a lid is available separately if covering between service periods is required. For operations needing larger display surfaces or higher-volume coverage, wider format platters are available within the range.

If you are building out a full buffet display and want guidance on combining platters and stands effectively, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

This GN 1/1 rectangular platter is part of the Steelite Craft Melamine range — a collection designed to bring a handcrafted, artisan aesthetic to buffet and display settings without the fragility or replacement cost associated with ceramic alternatives. The white colourway features a subtle speckled-glaze effect and surface texturing that gives the impression of fired stoneware, making it well suited to operators who want a considered presentation without committing to breakable tableware.

In practice, melamine at this weight and size performs reliably across high-turnover buffet environments, grab-and-go counters, and cold display service. The material resists chipping and staining under regular handling, which is a meaningful consideration in venues where platters are moved frequently between kitchen, front-of-house, and storage. Recovery between covers is straightforward — the platter is dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround times manageable during busy service periods.

The GN 1/1 footprint integrates directly with standard gastronorm trolleys, display risers, and most chilled or ambient display units, which helps operators maintain consistency across service formats and simplifies storage. Key practical points worth noting:

• Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between service periods
• Chip- and stain-resistant melamine construction reduces replacement frequency
• GN 1/1 sizing fits standard trolleys, display systems, and storage racks
• Textured artisan finish suits informal dining, buffet, and deli-style presentation
• Compatible with the Steelite Gastronorm Cover for covered display or transport

Melamine is not suitable for use in conventional or microwave ovens, so this platter is intended for cold, ambient, or pre-plated service rather than hot-hold applications. It is also worth noting that while the finish is durable, prolonged use of abrasive cleaning products will gradually affect the surface texture over time.

This platter is well suited to hotel buffets, event catering operations, deli counters, and casual dining environments where appearance and durability both matter. For operators running larger display formats or higher-volume covers, wider or deeper options within the Craft Melamine range may be worth considering.

If you are building out a buffet display and want to discuss how this fits alongside other GN-compatible serving pieces, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The APS Frames GN 1/1 stainless steel platter is part of APS's modular Frames buffet system, designed to give catering operations a consistent, adaptable approach to cold buffet and food display presentation. The platter itself is a full 1/1 GN-format stainless steel base unit that integrates with other Frames components — cover panels, bowl holders, and cool plate inserts — to build a cohesive display that can be adjusted to suit the space and service format at hand.

In practice, the Frames system is well suited to functions, hotel buffets, and event catering where the display needs to adapt quickly between services or between different table layouts. The stainless steel finish gives a clean, professional appearance that holds up well through repeated service periods, and the GN 1/1 sizing means it sits neatly alongside standard gastronorm equipment already in use on most operations.

• Compatible with the full APS Frames modular buffet system
• GN 1/1 format integrates with standard gastronorm equipment
• Stainless steel construction for durability through repeated service
• Easy-grip edges underneath for safe, confident handling during service
• Stackable design for efficient storage between events

At 590g, the platter is light enough for front-of-house staff to reposition without difficulty, which is a practical advantage during live service. The stackable design keeps storage requirements manageable, particularly where back-of-house space is limited. As a single element, this platter can also function independently as a simple serving base without the full Frames configuration around it.

This platter is best suited to operators already working within the APS Frames ecosystem, or those looking to build a modular buffet system from scratch. It is equally at home in hotel banqueting, contract catering, and event venues. If you are unsure whether GN 1/1 is the right size for your table configuration, or how many units you would need for a given cover count, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Olympia Kristallon melamine platter is a large-format serving piece designed for buffet presentation, counter display, and high-volume catering service. Made from melamine with a plain white finish and raised edges, it provides a practical, clean-looking surface for presenting cold meats, cheeses, bread, pastries, and similar items in a catering environment.

Melamine is a well-established material in commercial catering for good reason. It is significantly more resistant to chipping and cracking than ceramic or porcelain, which matters when pieces are being moved repeatedly during service, loaded into dishwashers frequently, and stacked in busy back-of-house areas. The white finish remains presentable across heavy regular use, and the raised edges help contain food and dressings without items sliding off during transport from kitchen to counter.

Practical advantages in a commercial context include:

• Durable melamine construction handles daily commercial use and repeated dishwasher cycles
• Raised edges reduce spillage when carrying loaded platters to service areas
• Rated for temperatures from -20°C to 120°C, suitable for chilled display and moderate oven warming
• Lightweight relative to ceramic equivalents, reducing fatigue during busy service
• White finish presents food cleanly and suits most catering and hospitality styles

At 530 x 330mm, this is a large platter suited to operations serving significant volumes — hotel buffets, conference catering, pub carveries, and similar settings where a single platter needs to hold a meaningful portion of a dish. It is less suited to smaller à la carte settings where compact presentation pieces would be more appropriate. For operators needing a larger fleet of platters to cover a full buffet run, this size works well as a primary serving piece rather than a supplementary one.

If you are putting together a full buffet display or are unsure which sizes and quantities would suit your service setup, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work well in practice.

This plastic dome lid is designed to fit the APS Pure round cake platter range, providing a straightforward cover solution for displayed baked goods, pastries, and cold desserts during buffet and self-service periods. The lid sits cleanly over the platter, keeping contents protected from handling, dust, and ambient contamination without obscuring the display.

In a buffet or hospitality setting, having a reliable cover to hand between service periods is a practical necessity. This lid allows operators to pre-set displays, keep products fresh ahead of service, and maintain a presentable counter even during quieter periods. The transparent plastic construction means guests and staff can see the contents without lifting the cover.

• Fits APS Pure round cake platters in the compatible size range
• Transparent plastic keeps contents visible while covered
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
• Lightweight at 430g — easy to handle in a busy service environment
• Straight-edged profile matches the APS Pure platter aesthetic

There are no installation requirements. The lid is a standalone accessory and requires only the compatible APS Pure platter to function as intended. It is worth confirming platter compatibility before ordering, as the APS Pure range includes several platter sizes and not all lids are interchangeable across the full range.

This lid is well suited to hotel buffets, café counters, event catering, and any operation where covered cake and pastry display is part of the service offer. For larger display platters or more substantial cover requirements, other sizes within the APS Pure range may be more appropriate.

If you're building out a full buffet display and want to check compatibility with your existing APS Pure platters, we're happy to help you select the right components.

These Steelite Craft rectangular platters are white melamine serving pieces sized to GN 1/2, supplied in a pack of three. The surface carries a subtle texture and speckled-glaze finish that gives the appearance of handcrafted ceramics without the associated weight or fragility. They are intended for food presentation at the table, on a buffet run, or as sharing boards in informal dining formats.

In a busy service environment, melamine platters like these earn their place through sheer practicality. They hold up well against the daily handling, stacking, and transport that crockery of this type is subjected to in commercial use. The material does not chip in the way ceramic does, which matters when items are being cleared and loaded quickly during a busy sitting. They are suitable for the dishwasher, which keeps turnaround straightforward without special handling requirements.

• Dishwasher safe — no hand-wash requirement during service turnover
• Melamine construction resists chipping under daily commercial handling
• GN 1/2 sizing integrates with standard gastronorm display and cover systems
• Textured speckled-glaze finish suits rustic, craft, and informal dining presentations
• Supplied in a pack of three, practical for buffet runs and multi-table service

Because these platters are sized to GN 1/2, they are compatible with the Steelite Gastronorm Cover VV466, which is worth considering if you need to hold or transport food prior to service. The GN footprint also means they sit neatly in standard gastronorm storage and display equipment, which is useful for buffet operators working with modular risers or heated display units.

These platters are well suited to casual dining restaurants, hotels running buffet or sharing-plate menus, and event caterers who need consistent, presentable serviceware that travels well. For operations requiring a larger presentation surface or a different format, there are alternative sizes and shapes within the Steelite Craft Melamine range worth considering.

If you are putting together a full buffet setup or want to confirm compatibility with existing display equipment, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The APS Apart GN 1/1 buffet tray is a full-size rectangular melamine serving tray designed to sit within or alongside standard gastronorm buffet setups. Made from white melamine, it offers a clean, neutral presentation surface that suits a wide range of catering styles without dominating the table layout.

In practice, melamine trays of this type are a reliable workhorse across hotel breakfast operations, corporate buffets, conference catering, and event hospitality. The material handles repeated use well, resists light impact, and is straightforward to clean between services. The white finish keeps presentation consistent when used alongside other pieces from the APS Apart range.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Full GN 1/1 footprint integrates with standard buffet frames and gastronorm counters
• Melamine construction is lighter than ceramic and more durable than disposable alternatives
• Temperature-tolerant material suitable for cold buffet displays and ambient service
• White finish photographs well and maintains a tidy, consistent buffet aesthetic
• Easy to wipe down and stack for storage between events

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for microwave use and has a practical upper temperature limit, so this tray is best reserved for ambient or chilled buffet presentation rather than hot holding direct from an oven. It is also not intended for induction or direct heat sources.

This tray is well suited to hospitality venues, contract caterers, and event operators running buffet or display services where a uniform, professional presentation is needed. For operations requiring higher-capacity or tiered display solutions, larger format or elevated buffet accessories within the APS range may be worth considering.

If you are building out a buffet display setup and want to check compatibility with your existing equipment or confirm quantities for a particular service format, the team is happy to help.

The Olympia Kristallon melamine platter is a straightforward, practical serving piece designed for commercial buffet and counter display use. The white finish and raised edges give it a clean, presentable appearance that works well across a range of service styles, from hotel breakfast buffets to canteen counters and event catering.

Melamine is a well-established material in commercial foodservice for good reason. It handles everyday knocked-about use better than ceramic, resists chipping, and maintains its appearance with regular washing. The raised edges help contain food on the platter during service, which is particularly useful on a busy buffet line where presentation needs to hold up without constant attention.

A few practical points worth noting for busy operations:

• Resistant to impact — more forgiving than ceramic in high-turnover environments
• Rated for use from -20°C to 120°C, suitable for chilled and hot-hold display
• Lightweight at 670g, easy to handle and reposition during service
• White finish shows food presentation clearly, suits most buffet aesthetics
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround between sittings

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for microwave use, so it should not be placed in a microwave oven at any point. It is also not intended for direct oven use. For operations needing a larger footprint on the buffet counter, this platter sits within a wider range of Kristallon melamine servingware, so there are alternative sizes available if this format does not suit your layout.

These Olympia slate platters are a straightforward, practical choice for operators who want a clean, natural-looking surface for canapés, small tasting portions, or buffet displays. Made from natural slate with smoothed edges, they offer a more finished appearance than cut-edge alternatives — a detail that tends to matter when presentation is part of the service experience.

The narrow, elongated format suits individual portions or small arrangements rather than large sharing boards, making them a common choice for events catering, hotel food and beverage operations, and restaurants running tasting menus or pre-dinner canapé service. They sit flat and stable on a surface and are compatible with the Olympia bamboo riser base, which allows platters to be stacked or elevated for more structured buffet displays.

A few practical points worth noting before ordering:

• Natural slate construction — each piece will vary slightly in tone and surface texture
• Smooth edges reduce the risk of snagging linens or scratching surfaces during service
• Clean with mild detergent only — do not submerge in water or put through a dishwasher
• Supplied in pairs, so plan quantities according to your service layout and cover numbers

These platters are best suited to lower-volume, presentation-focused settings rather than high-throughput operations where durability and speed of turnaround take priority. For larger display surfaces or higher-volume buffet setups, wider or longer slate options may be worth considering.

If you're putting together a buffet display and want to make sure the pieces work together — including risers, boards, and serving accessories — our team is happy to help you plan the layout before you order.

These triangular melamine platters from Churchill's Lotus buffet range are a practical choice for operators who need reliable, presentable serving ware that holds up through repeated daily use. Designed to sit within Churchill's broader buffet collection, they work alongside ceramic and wood serveware pieces, allowing for a consistent presentation across a spread without mixing materials or styles.

Melamine is a sensible choice for buffet and display service. It has the visual weight and clean finish of more expensive materials but is considerably more resistant to chipping and breakage in high-traffic settings. These platters are stain resistant, which matters when displaying colourful foods over extended service periods, and they maintain a clean, white appearance through regular commercial dishwasher cycles.

From an operational standpoint, a few things make them easy to work with:

• Dishwasher safe — straightforward to clean between sittings or across service periods
• Stackable design reduces storage footprint when not in use
• Supplied as a pack of four, giving a useful ready-to-use quantity for most buffet runs
• Consistent with the wider Churchill buffet range for coordinated display layouts
• Durable enough for daily rotation in catering, hospitality, and event environments

These platters are well suited to hotels, event caterers, conference venues, and staff restaurants running buffet or self-service formats. For operations with very high throughput or extended outdoor use, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge or deeper-profile platter might better suit the workload.

These rectangular white melamine trays from Churchill are a practical serving and display option for buffet counters, carvery stations, canapé service, and similar hospitality settings. Supplied in a pack of four, they offer a clean, uniform presentation surface that works well alongside Churchill's broader range of ceramics and wood serveware.

Melamine is a sensible material choice for front-of-house use in busy environments. It carries the appearance of a more refined surface while offering the resilience needed for repeated handling across multiple services. The trays resist staining and are food safe, making them suitable for both ambient and chilled food displays without any deterioration in appearance over time.

• Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround during busy service periods
• Resistant to staining from common food and beverage contact
• Stack neatly for compact storage when not in use
• Consistent white finish coordinates with mixed serveware setups
• Food safe for both ambient and chilled display use

These trays are well suited to hotels, event caterers, contract catering operations, and any venue running regular buffet or display service. They are a practical everyday option rather than a heavy-duty workhorse, so operators running very high-turnover service may want to consider whether a more substantial tray format would better suit their throughput.

If you're putting together a broader buffet display setup and want to make sure everything coordinates, we're happy to point you in the right direction.

These rectangular white melamine trays from Churchill are a practical serving and display solution for buffet services, catering events, and front-of-house food presentation. At 560x153mm, they offer a useful elongated footprint that works well for breads, charcuterie, pastries, or cold savoury items laid out in a straight run — whether on a buffet counter, servery, or event table.

Melamine is a well-established material in catering environments for good reason. It holds its appearance under repeated use, resists staining from common food contact, and is fully food safe for both ambient and chilled displays. The white finish presents cleanly against most table linen and display surfaces, and works alongside Churchill's wider range of ceramics and wood serveware without looking out of place.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between service periods
• Supplied in a pack of four, giving useful quantity for events or multi-station buffets
• Stack neatly in storage, keeping back-of-house organised when not in use
• Durable enough to withstand the handling typical of busy service environments
• Consistent white finish maintains a professional appearance across a full display

These trays are best suited to hospitality venues, event caterers, hotels, and workplace catering operations running regular buffet service. They are a functional, dependable choice rather than a premium display piece, so operators looking for a more decorative or heavy-gauge option may want to consider alternatives within the Churchill range or elsewhere in the catalogue.

If you are putting together a full buffet display and want to make sure the pieces work together practically, we are happy to help you work through the options.

These white melamine rectangular trays are part of Churchill's buffet and serveware range, designed for food display in hospitality and catering settings. At 460x100mm, the narrow rectangular format suits lined presentations — bread, charcuterie, pastries, or cold accompaniments — and fits naturally alongside other pieces in the Churchill collection, including ceramics and wood serveware.

Melamine is a practical material choice for this type of service. It holds its appearance under frequent use, resists staining from common buffet foods, and maintains a clean, consistent look throughout service without the fragility of ceramic or porcelain alternatives. These trays are fully food safe and suitable for both chilled and ambient displays.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Dishwasher safe, which simplifies turnaround between services
• Stack neatly in storage, reducing clutter in back-of-house
• Supplied in a pack of four, useful for simultaneous multi-point display
• Lightweight enough for front-of-house handling without fatigue
• Consistent white finish coordinates across buffet setups

These trays are well suited to hotels, event caterers, staff restaurants, and café-style operations running self-service or assisted buffet formats. They are not intended for hot food service or oven use — melamine has clear temperature limitations that operators should factor into display planning.

These white melamine rectangular trays from Churchill are a practical choice for buffet counters, cold displays, and pass presentation. Melamine is a long-established material in hospitality serviceware — it holds its appearance well under repeated use, resists staining, and avoids the fragility of ceramic alternatives in high-traffic environments.

In service, they perform reliably for ambient and chilled food presentations. The white finish is neutral enough to sit alongside most table settings and display formats, and they stack cleanly when not in use, which matters in kitchens where back-of-house storage is limited.

• Stain-resistant surface maintains a clean, professional appearance over time
• Stackable design reduces storage footprint between sittings
• Fully food safe for direct contact with ambient or chilled items
