Price Match

The Utopia Core slate plates are 175mm ceramic plates finished with a glazed upper surface and a matte exterior, giving them a natural slate-like appearance without the fragility or weight of real stone. Sold in packs of six, they are intended for commercial front-of-house use in restaurants, bistros, and casual dining operations.

In practical terms, these are small plates — well suited to bread, side dishes, amuse-bouches, or small plate concepts where presentation matters as much as portion size. The ceramic construction keeps weight manageable for service staff handling multiple covers, and the contrasting glaze finishes hold up reasonably well through regular commercial dishwasher cycles, though as with all decorative stoneware, the finish should be monitored over extended use.

  • Glazed inner surface is practical to clean and resistant to everyday staining
  • Matte exterior gives a tactile, contemporary feel in the hand
  • Compact 175mm diameter suits small plate, side, and sharing menu formats
  • Ceramic material is lighter than natural slate and safer for busy floor service
  • Pack of six supports consistent table setting across a section

These plates are best suited to independent restaurants, cafés, and hotel dining rooms running a modern or casual menu format. For operations covering high volumes or requiring a more robust specification, heavier-duty tableware options are worth considering. Equally, if you need larger dinner plates or a matching range, it is worth confirming that the full Core collection is available before committing.

If you are building or refreshing a tableware range and would like guidance on what quantities or formats suit your covers and service style, we are happy to help you work through it.

Frequently asked questions

Are these plates suitable for daily commercial dishwasher use?

Yes, ceramic stoneware of this type is generally compatible with commercial dishwashers. That said, the decorative matte exterior finish on any stylised tableware should be monitored over time, as repeated high-temperature cycles can gradually affect surface appearance on some finishes.

What service formats are these plates best suited to?

At 175mm, these are small plates rather than main-course dinner plates. They work well for bread, amuse-bouches, side dishes, or operations running a small plates or sharing menu. If you need a plate that doubles as a main course plate, a larger diameter from the range would be more appropriate.

How many packs would a typical restaurant section require?

A useful rule of thumb for side or small plates is to hold roughly three times your seated cover count to allow for service, washing, and breakage buffer. For a section of 20 covers, that would suggest a minimum of around 60 plates — ten packs — though your actual throughput and dishwasher cycle time will influence the right quantity for your operation.
