The granite glaze is superb, offering a neutral yet textured backdrop that makes colours pop.

  • Cons: Its distinctive look might not suit every restaurant's existing decor or branding.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salted Pig, a bustling gastropub in Bakewell, Derbyshire, decided to replace their ageing white porcelain to better reflect their rustic, locally-sourced menu. They needed something that was both visually striking and  could handle a relentless service schedule.

"We were looking for tableware that told a story. The moment we saw the Dudson Evo Granite plates, we knew they were the ones. They make our pies and  roasts look absolutely incredible, and  our customers constantly comment on them. They just feel right."

Samuel Jones – Head Chef

Since introducing the new plates, the gastropub has noted a significant uptick in customers photographing and  sharing their meals on social media, effectively boosting their online presence.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust.
  • Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent chips, avoid knocking plates against hard surfaces or other crockery.
  • Use a non-abrasive scourer for any stubborn food residue.
  • The polished foot allows for safe stacking; avoid creating stacks that are too high to be stable.
  • Avoid extreme temperature changes, like moving a plate directly from a freezer to a hot oven, to prevent thermal shock.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Catering Plates

Finding the perfect plates for your business? Here are a few things to keep in mind to make the right choice.

Material Matters

Stoneware offers a rustic look and  great durability, while porcelain is a classic, lighter choice. Consider your menu and  desired aesthetic.

Shape and  Size

Coupe plates offer a modern, borderless canvas, while rimmed plates frame food traditionally. Match the size to your portion control.

Durability is Key

Look for features like 'fully vitrified' and  'chip-resistant edges' for tableware that will stand up to the rigours of a professional kitchen.

Match Your Brand

Your tableware is part of your brand identity. Choose colours and  styles that complement your restaurant's decor and  atmosphere.

Everyday Practicality

Always check for dishwasher and  microwave safety. Good stackability is also crucial for saving space and  preventing damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many plates are included in one box?

A: This is a 6-pack set, so you will receive six 273mm Granite Coupe Plates per box.

Q: Are these plates truly suitable for a busy commercial kitchen?

A: Absolutely. They are made from vitrified stoneware, which is specifically designed for high-intensity use in restaurants and  hotels.

Q: What does a 'polished foot' do?

A: The base of the plate is polished smooth. This prevents the unglazed bottom from scratching the surface of the plate below it when they are stacked.

Q: Is the granite finish identical on every plate?

A: The reactive glaze process means each plate has a slightly unique pattern, which adds to their artisanal charm, but the colour and  overall effect are consistent.

Q: What is a 'coupe' style plate?

A: A coupe plate has a shallow, rimless design. This creates a larger, uninterrupted surface area, which is very popular for modern food presentation.

Q: Can these go in a salamander grill or oven?

A: While they are microwave safe for reheating, direct, high-heat applications like an oven or grill are not recommended for any ceramic tableware.

Q: Do the plates get very hot in the microwave?

A: Like all ceramic items, they will get hot in the microwave. We recommend handling them with care after heating.

Q: How does stoneware compare to porcelain in weight?

A: Stoneware is typically a bit denser and  heavier than porcelain, giving it a very sturdy and  substantial feel.

Why 'Vitrified Stoneware' is a Cut Above the Rest

Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? Think of it as giving the stoneware a superpower. During manufacturing, the plate is fired at an incredibly high temperature until the clay body becomes glass-like and  non-porous. This means, unlike standard pottery that can act a bit like a sponge, our stoneware coupe plates for restaurants won't absorb water, oils, or odours. So, yesterday's fish special won't haunt today's delicate dessert. It’s this process that gives the plate its immense strength, making it far more resistant to chipping and  thermal shock from a hot dishwasher or microwave.
