Delivery Information

Price Match

The Steelite Monaco White range is a commercial porcelain tableware collection designed to replicate the aesthetic qualities of fine bone china — warm whiteness, translucency, and a refined finish — while offering the practical durability that busy catering environments demand. These 160mm plates are a compact side plate size, commonly used for bread, amuse-bouche, pre-dessert courses, or as part of a mixed tablescape in formal dining settings.

In service, Monaco White holds up well under the daily handling pressures of professional kitchens. The porcelain body is formulated to resist chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware, which matters when plates are being stacked, run through commercial dishwashers multiple times a day, and handled at pace during busy covers. The lighter, whiter body maintains its appearance over repeated wash cycles, which is a practical consideration when consistency of presentation matters front of house.

The key operational advantages of this range include:

  • A bright, consistent white finish that photographs cleanly and presents well under dining room lighting
  • Porcelain construction that withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant glaze degradation
  • A shape and scale suited to modern multi-course plating formats
  • Compatibility with other pieces across the Monaco White collection, allowing mixed-shape table settings without losing visual coherence

These plates are sold in packs of 36, which suits most opening-stock requirements for a single service section. For larger dining rooms or high-turnover covers where breakage replacement is frequent, it is worth considering how many packs are needed to maintain a comfortable working stock alongside the plates currently in circulation.

Monaco White is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, private members clubs, and event caterers where presentation standards are high but plates need to withstand daily commercial use. It sits in the mid-to-upper tier of commercial tableware and is not intended for canteen or high-throughput casual dining where a more utilitarian specification may be more cost-effective.

If you are specifying tableware across multiple courses or want to discuss pack quantities relative to your covers, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers before you order.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need for a typical restaurant service?

As a general guide, most operators aim to hold two to three times their seated cover count in circulation to allow for dishwasher turnaround and breakage. For a 40-cover restaurant using these as a side plate, two packs of 36 would give you a working stock of 72, which is usually sufficient with a well-timed wash cycle. Higher-volume or banqueting operations will typically need more.

Is Monaco White suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes. The Monaco White range is designed for commercial warewashing environments. The porcelain construction is more resistant to glaze crazing and thermal shock than standard earthenware, making it practical for the repeated high-temperature cycles typical of rack or conveyor dishwashers. That said, as with all commercial tableware, handling care during loading and unloading will extend the lifespan of individual pieces.

Can I mix these 160mm plates with other sizes in the Monaco White range?

Yes. One of the practical advantages of the Monaco White collection is that it is designed as a coordinated range across multiple plate sizes and forms, so mixing sizes within a table setting works visually. This is particularly useful for multi-course formats where different plate sizes are used across courses but a consistent look front of house is important.
