Product Description
The Steelite Pompeii Slate Large Round Bowl is part of Steelite's Pompeii Creations melamine range, designed to bring a textured, slate-effect aesthetic to casual and fast-casual dining environments. At 356mm across, this is a generously sized serving or presentation bowl suited to sharing plates, salads, pasta dishes, and similar table service formats. The slate finish gives it a visual character closer to natural stoneware than standard melamine, making it a practical choice for operators who want a distinctive look without the fragility of ceramic.
Melamine construction means these bowls are considerably lighter than their ceramic or porcelain equivalents, which matters in busy service environments where front-of-house staff are handling tableware continuously across a shift. The material is also more resistant to chipping and cracking under the knocks of everyday service, making it a sensible option for high-turnover settings where breakage rates with traditional tableware can be a real operational cost.
- Lighter than ceramic, reducing handling strain during busy service periods
- Chip and crack resistant, supporting lower breakage costs over time
- Slate-effect finish suits informal, rustic, or contemporary dining concepts
- Consistent appearance across the pack, useful for uniform table presentation
- Large format suits sharing dishes, salads, pasta, and plated mains
It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for microwave use, and operators should confirm this is appropriate for their service workflow before ordering. These bowls are supplied in packs of six, which works well for stocking by cover count or replacing breakages within an existing set.
This bowl is well suited to fast-casual restaurants, gastropubs, pop-up dining concepts, and any setting where a robust, presentable bowl is needed in volume. If your operation requires a more formal tableware finish or microwave-safe ware, a vitrified ceramic alternative may be worth considering instead.
If you are building out a full tableware range or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Melamine is generally dishwasher safe at standard commercial temperatures, but prolonged exposure to very high heat cycles can cause surface degradation over time. It is advisable to follow the manufacturer's guidance on wash temperatures and avoid extended high-heat drying programmes where possible.
- No — melamine is not suitable for microwave use. If your service workflow involves plating and then reheating, a vitrified ceramic or porcelain bowl would be the more appropriate choice. These bowls are best suited to operations where food is plated and served directly.
- A general starting point for a 40-cover operation is two to three times your cover count in tableware to allow for items in service, in the wash, and in reserve. For bowls used across every course, around 7 to 10 packs of six would give you a working stock with reasonable contingency, though your specific menu format and service pace will influence the right quantity.
