Product Description
The Steelite Pompeii Slate Gastronome Platter is a 1/3 GN-format serving piece from Steelite's Pompeii Creations range, finished in a slate effect that gives the appearance of natural stone. The platters are made from melamine, which means they carry the visual character of more artisan materials without the fragility or weight associated with ceramic or actual slate. They are sold in packs of four.
In a working service environment, melamine servingware of this kind tends to hold up well under the conditions typical of casual dining, buffet lines, and counter service. The material is resistant to chipping and handles repeated handling by service staff more reliably than ceramic equivalents of a similar aesthetic. The slate finish suits a broad range of menu styles — from sharing boards and antipasti to dessert presentation — where operators want a rustic or artisan look without the operational risk of breakage-prone tableware.
- Slate-effect finish suited to sharing, buffet, and casual dining presentation
- Melamine construction — resistant to chipping and lighter than ceramic or real slate
- 1/3 GN format fits standard gastronome display systems and buffet units
- Sold in packs of four, practical for consistent table or counter presentation
- Steelite manufacture with consistent finish across the Pompeii Creations range
Because these are melamine, they are not suitable for oven or microwave use, and care should be taken with dishwasher temperatures — commercial dishwashers running at high sanitising temperatures can over time affect the surface finish of melamine products. It is worth checking your warewasher settings before committing to regular machine washing at high cycles.
These platters are well suited to casual dining restaurants, street food concepts, hotel buffet operations, and any venue where presentation matters but durability is equally important. For operations requiring a finer-dining aesthetic, Steelite's ceramic ranges may be more appropriate.
If you're building out a full table or buffet scheme and want to ensure pieces work together across the Pompeii range, the team are happy to talk through what fits your service style.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Melamine is generally dishwasher-safe at standard temperatures, but the high sanitising cycles used in many commercial warewashers — particularly those running above 70°C — can degrade the surface finish over repeated washes. We'd recommend checking your machine's cycle temperatures and, where possible, running melamine on a lower-temperature programme to extend the life of the finish.
- Melamine is not suitable for use in ovens or microwaves and should not be used to serve food that has been heated directly in the platter. They are well suited to presenting ambient or pre-plated cold dishes, sharing boards, antipasti, and desserts, but are not designed for hot food presentation where the serving vessel itself needs to retain heat.
- The Pompeii Creations collection from Steelite includes a number of pieces beyond the gastronome platter, so it's possible to build a consistent look across different elements of your table or buffet layout. If you're specifying a full scheme rather than a single piece, it's worth speaking with us to confirm which items complement each other within the range.
