Product Description
The Steelite Creations Pompeii Slate Platter is a melamine serving platter with a slate-effect finish, designed to replicate the look of natural stone without the weight or fragility associated with it. At 355.6 x 203.2mm, it offers a practical surface area for sharing plates, antipasti, charcuterie, or composed starters in a casual dining context.
Melamine is a well-established choice in catering environments where durability and resistance to breakage are priorities. It holds up well in high-throughput front-of-house settings, particularly where tableware is handled frequently by both staff and guests. The slate-effect aesthetic suits informal and fast casual dining formats, as well as food-led bars and bistros where the visual presentation of food is part of the offer.
From an operational standpoint, melamine platters like this one offer a few clear practical advantages:
- Significantly lighter than ceramic or genuine slate, reducing fatigue for front-of-house staff
- Resistant to chipping and breakage, keeping replacement costs low over time
- Easy to clean and consistent in appearance across a full set
- Suited to both plated service and sharing-style presentation formats
It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for use in microwaves or conventional ovens, so this platter is intended purely for ambient or cold food presentation and service. It should not be used with very hot food straight from the pass for extended periods.
This platter is well suited to casual dining restaurants, gastropubs, food-led bars, and similar environments. It is sold in boxes of 12, which suits operators outfitting a full section or replacing existing stock in volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Melamine is not suitable for use in microwaves or ovens, and is not designed for prolonged contact with very high-temperature food. It is best suited to ambient, cold, or warm food presentation rather than direct service of freshly cooked items at high heat.
- Melamine tableware is generally compatible with commercial dishwashers, though repeated high-temperature wash cycles over time can affect the surface finish. We would recommend checking the manufacturer's guidance and, if longevity of appearance is important, erring toward shorter or cooler wash programmes.
- This platter is sold in boxes of 12 as a minimum unit, which suits most operators outfitting a section or building a new tableware scheme. If you are unsure how many you need based on covers and service patterns, the team can help you work through a practical quantity.
