One of our most common complaints from waiters in restaurants is that the latest culinary trends are not operator friendly.

How many times have you watched in that awkward dreaded moment the waiter in a restaurant attempt (whilst apologising) try and remove a heavy real stone or slate platter from your table during service?

The second complaint is we need a more durable replacement as my staff has put it through the dishwasher and it's now broken!

Everyone loves the beauty of natural materials, but the reality is these products are hard to work with and are not suitable for the professional food service environment.

Dalebrook's contemporary Stone Effect Melamine Platters were designed to be a lightweight, chip resistant, dishwasher and food-safe alternative and still provide diners with the theatre they expect from a modern restaurant environment.

Sharing boards are not the easiest to handle whatever the material, however, Dalebrook’s take on replicating natural forms and finishes has ensured there is a durable, food-safe and easy to handle alternative available without compromising on style.
