Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Mill on the Exe, a popular riverside pub in Exeter, wanted to elevate their starter presentation. Their standard ramekins felt dated and  didn't fit their rustic, locally sourced ethos. They needed tableware that was both charming and  robust enough for a high-volume pub environment.

"These saucers immediately improved how our sharing platters look. Customers regularly comment on them. They feel high-quality, and  the two wells are just so practical for our bread and  oil starters. They look great and  they've not chipped once."

Robert Davies – General Manager

The pub noted that upgrading their presentation with the Steelite Craft saucers contributed to a noticeable lift in customer satisfaction for their food service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each saucer for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Before their first use, run them through a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher.
  • Familiarise your team with their stackable design to ensure they are stored correctly from day one.

Keeping It Going

  • To protect the beautiful glaze, avoid using harsh metal scourers or highly abrasive detergents.
  • While they are incredibly durable, always stack them carefully to maximise their lifespan.
  • Allow pieces to air dry completely before stacking to prevent moisture from being trapped between items.
  • Regularly check for any damage as part of your team's daily closing checks.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure which tableware best suits your vibe? Here are a few tips to help you decide.

Consider Your Environment

A bustling gastropub needs durable, chip-resistant tableware. Look for vitrified ceramic like this, which is specifically designed for high-turnover settings.

Match Your Brand Identity

Your tableware is a key part of your brand's story. A rustic range like Steelite Craft is perfect for farm-to-table concepts, while clean white porcelain might suit fine dining.

Look for Versatility

Can it go from the oven to the table? Is it microwave and  freezer safe? Versatile pieces work harder for you and  save you from buying multiple sets of specialist ware.

Think About Storage

Space is always at a premium in a commercial kitchen. Always check if a range is stackable, as this will save you a huge amount of shelf and  cupboard space.

Prioritise Ease of Cleaning

Ensure any tableware you choose is commercial dishwasher safe. This is non-negotiable for saving time and  ensuring hygiene standards are met easily.

Why Alumina Vitrified Ceramic is a Chef's Best Friend

Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? For these Steelite saucers, the secret is 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic'. It might sound technical, but it's quite simple. During manufacturing, a high amount of alumina—a very hard ceramic oxide—is mixed into the clay before it's fired at an extremely high temperature. This process vitrifies the ceramic, making it non-porous and  incredibly strong.

Think of it like adding carbon fibre to a performance car's chassis. The alumina acts as a strengthening agent woven throughout the ceramic body. This is what gives these large ceramic double-well saucers their exceptional resistance to the chips, knocks, and  thermal shocks of a relentless kitchen environment. It’s how they can look so delicate and  handcrafted, yet perform like a true kitchen workhorse.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Bistros

    Ideal for serving artisanal bread with olive oil and  balsamic vinegar without them merging on the plate.

  • Indian & Asian Restaurants

    Perfect for presenting poppadoms with a duo of mango chutney and  raita, keeping each dip distinct.

  • Hotels & Event Caterers

    An elegant solution for individual butter and  jam portions for breakfast service or canapé functions.

  • Modern Cafés & Delis

    The ultimate way to serve a classic scone with separate portions of jam and  clotted cream.
