Steelite Performance
Steelite Orbita Coupe Plates White 202.5mm (12 Pack)
£70.51(£84.61 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Orbita coupe plate from Steelite Performance is a mid-size white plate designed for professional table service. At 202.5mm it sits comfortably in the starter-to-dessert range, though many operations also use it as a side plate alongside larger mains covers. The coupe profile — rimless with a gently curved edge — keeps the focus on the food and gives chefs a clean, uncluttered surface to plate against.
Steelite manufacture Orbita from alumina vitrified porcelain, which is the standard body construction used across serious hospitality tableware. In practical terms this means the plates handle the thermal cycling of busy service — moving between hot pass, table and commercial dishwasher — without the crazing or glaze deterioration that affects lower-grade ceramics over time. Edge chipping is the most common cause of tableware replacement in a working operation, and Steelite back these plates with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which is a meaningful commitment in a trade context.
- Alumina vitrified body for durability under daily commercial use
- Suitable for dishwasher, microwave and freezer without degradation
- Good heat and chill retention to support consistent service temperatures
- Lifetime edge chip warranty reduces long-term replacement costs
- Clean coupe profile suits a range of plating styles and cuisines
These plates are well suited to restaurants, hotels, contract caterers and any operation running structured table service. The 12-pack format is practical for initial stock builds or topping up existing covers. Operations running high cover counts will typically want to order in greater volume to maintain a working buffer above active service numbers.
If you are building a full cover count or matching Orbita to other pieces in the range, the team is happy to talk through quantities and combinations before you order.
Frequently asked questions
How many covers will a 12-pack realistically support in service?
As a working rule, most operations hold three to four times their seated cover count in active tableware to allow for breakages, dishwasher cycles and buffer stock. For a 30-cover restaurant, a starting order of 90 to 120 plates is more practical than 12. The 12-pack format suits top-up orders or smaller operations with modest cover numbers.
Are these plates robust enough for high-volume contract catering environments?
Steelite's alumina vitrified construction is widely used across contract catering, hotel banqueting and high-volume restaurant operations. The material handles repeated dishwasher cycles and the physical demands of busy service well. The lifetime edge chip warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the product under commercial conditions.
Can Orbita plates be mixed with other pieces from the Steelite range?
The Orbita collection includes complementary pieces across different shapes and sizes, and Steelite's white glazed finishes are generally consistent enough to mix within a table setting. If you are building a full cover specification or combining multiple shapes, it is worth confirming compatibility with the team before placing a larger order.
