The Steelite Spyro is a 280mm (11 inch) flat plate finished in white, sold in packs of 12. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic — a dense, high-fired material widely used in professional foodservice for its resistance to the knocks and thermal stresses of daily commercial use. The embossed swirling detail on the rim is applied during manufacture rather than added as a surface decoration, which means it retains its definition through repeated dishwasher cycles without fading or wearing back.

In practice, alumina vitrified ceramic handles the transition between cold storage, hot plating, and the dishwasher better than standard vitrified china. The Spyro's glaze is engineered to resist staining from sauces, oils, and pigmented ingredients — a consideration that matters when plates are being assessed under bright pass-through lighting during a busy service. At 280mm, the plate gives a generous presentation area suitable for main courses, making it a practical choice for restaurant and hotel dining where portion presentation is part of the offer.

  • Embossed swirling rim detail that holds through commercial dishwasher cycles
  • Stain-resistant glaze suited to high-turnover plating environments
  • Thermal shock resistance for cold-to-hot service transitions
  • Alumina vitrified construction for durability under daily commercial use
  • Lifetime edge chip warranty provides reassurance on breakage risk

The plates arrive in a pack of 12, which suits initial stocking for a smaller operation or top-up purchasing for an established one. For high-volume banqueting or large hotel restaurants turning significant covers, it is worth calculating replacement rates against the pack size to ensure you hold adequate stock.

The Spyro sits within Steelite's mid-to-upper range and is well suited to à la carte restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and quality casual dining environments. It is not positioned as a budget plate, and buyers looking for high-volume, cost-focused crockery may find a simpler profile within the wider catalogue more appropriate for their operation.

If you are specifying crockery for a new opening or refreshing an existing set, our team is happy to talk through quantities, back-up stock levels, and how the Spyro fits alongside other pieces in your service.

Frequently asked questions

How many plates should I order for a restaurant service?

A common starting point is three times your cover count for the plate size in question, which allows for plates in use, plates being washed, and a buffer for breakages. For operations running multiple sittings or banqueting services, a higher multiplier is sensible. We can help you work through the right quantity based on your service pattern.

Are these plates suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is specifically formulated for the thermal and mechanical demands of commercial dishwashers, including high-temperature wash and rinse cycles. The Spyro's glaze and embossed detailing are designed to withstand this environment without fading or surface degradation over time.

What type of operation is the Spyro plate best suited to?

The Spyro is well suited to à la carte restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and quality casual dining environments where plate presentation is part of the guest experience. It is less well matched to very high-volume, budget-focused operations where a simpler, lower-cost profile would be more appropriate — and we are happy to advise on alternatives if that describes your setting.
