Delivery Information

Price Match

The Utopia Core slate plate is a 270mm stoneware dinner plate finished in a muted slate colourway, combining a glossy inner surface with a matt exterior. The contrast between the two finishes gives the piece a clean, understated look that sits comfortably across a range of dining styles without demanding a themed table setting around it.

In a commercial environment, stoneware at this weight and diameter holds up well to the daily demands of a busy restaurant pass. The ceramic construction resists chipping better than bone china at a comparable price point, and the glaze on the inner surface is practical to clean and maintains its appearance through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. At a 270mm diameter, the plate works well as a main course plate in most plated service formats.

Practical considerations worth noting:

  • Sold in packs of 6 — factor this into par stock planning for your cover count
  • Matt exterior finish can mark if stacked carelessly; use plate racking where possible
  • Suitable for commercial dishwashers, though abrasive cleaning agents should be avoided to protect the glaze finish
  • The ceramic material retains heat reasonably well when plates are pre-warmed prior to service

These plates are well suited to casual dining restaurants, bistros, gastropubs, and hotel food and beverage operations looking for a contemporary slate aesthetic without the fragility or weight of natural slate. They work equally well in café settings running a full lunch and dinner service.

If you are specifying tableware across a full cover count or want to discuss how these sit alongside other items in the Core range, the team are happy to help you work through the quantities.

Frequently asked questions

Are these plates suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, the stoneware construction and glazed inner surface are suitable for commercial dishwasher use. It is worth avoiding harsh abrasive detergents, which can dull the glaze finish over time and reduce the plate's appearance in service.

How many packs would a typical restaurant need to order for a full cover count?

As a general guide, most operators run a plate stock of two to three times their seated cover count to allow for plates in service, on the pass, and in the wash cycle simultaneously. If you are unsure of the right quantity for your operation, our team can help you work through the numbers.

Is the matt exterior finish durable enough for a high-volume kitchen environment?

The matt finish is practical in normal service conditions, but like all matt-finish ceramics it can show scuff marks if plates are stacked directly on one another without plate racking. Using proper plate storage reduces surface wear and keeps the presentation consistent over time.
