Product Description
The Steelite Simplicity White handled soup cup is a straightforward, practical piece of tableware used across a wide range of catering operations. At 285ml it sits comfortably in the standard portion size for starter soups, bisques, and broth-based dishes, and the twin handles allow front-of-house staff to place and clear quickly without the need for a separate saucer or cloth.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, the body is notably more durable than standard porcelain. The material handles the daily cycle of commercial dishwashers reliably, retains heat well enough to keep soup at serving temperature through a busy pass, and is suitable for microwave and freezer use — useful where pre-portioned or batch-prepared dishes are part of the operation. The stacking profile helps with storage efficiency in tight back-of-house conditions.
Practically speaking, the Simplicity range suits operations that need a clean, neutral presentation across a varied menu. Its undecorated white finish works alongside most crockery collections without clashing, and the consistent shape makes it straightforward to train staff on portion standards.
- Stacking design reduces storage space requirements on shelving and in transit
- Handled construction supports faster, safer service without separate saucers
- Alumina vitrified body stands up to the demands of continuous dishwasher cycling
- Neutral white finish suits most menu and table presentation styles
- Lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite provides practical long-term reassurance
This cup is well suited to hotels, pub restaurants, cafés, and contract catering sites where a reliable, everyday soup cup is needed in volume. For very high-turnover operations where breakage rates are a significant cost concern, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty specification would be more economical over time.
If you are building out a full crockery range or matching to existing Simplicity pieces, the team is happy to go through the options with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a denser, harder material than standard porcelain, which makes it better suited to the thermal stress and mechanical handling of continuous commercial dishwasher cycles. In practice, operators tend to see lower chipping and crazing rates compared with standard earthenware or bone china at a similar price point.
- For most operations, 36 pieces per pack is a useful base unit rather than a full service quantity. A busy pub restaurant or hotel doing 80 or more covers at a sitting would typically hold two to three packs as a working set, with additional stock to cover breakage over time. It is worth factoring in your dishwasher turnaround cycle when calculating how many covers a given quantity will support.
- Yes — the handled cup format works well for hot desserts, porridge, ramen, and other broth-based or semi-liquid dishes where a handled vessel aids the guest experience. The neutral white finish and clean shape make it versatile across breakfast, lunch, and dinner service without looking out of place.
