How to choose the right New Haven Melamine Buffet Tableware

Match plate and bowl sizes to your menu portions so dishes look full without wasting food or space.
Choose colours and finishes that complement your brand and existing buffet or table presentation.
Consider the depth and shape of bowls and trays for the types of food you serve, from salads to hot mains.
Check stackability and storage footprint to ensure the range fits your shelves, trolleys or back-of-house layout.
Select heavier or lighter pieces depending on whether they are used for self-service buffets or staff service.
Plan compatible items across the collection so you can build coordinated buffet runs and plated sets.

Care and maintenance

Wash melamine items promptly after service using non-abrasive detergents to prevent staining.
Avoid scouring pads or harsh chemicals that can dull the surface or cause fine scratching.
Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher temperatures to protect colour and finish.
Store plates, bowls and trays in stable stacks to prevent warping and reduce the risk of edge damage.
Inspect regularly for deep scratches or chips and rotate out any items that no longer meet presentation standards.
Avoid direct contact with heat sources such as salamanders or oven grills, as melamine is not oven-safe.

Pair this collection with our wider buffet display, melamine platters, service trays and tableware ranges to create a complete front-of-house solution.
