Utah

Utah Melamine Tableware is a contemporary buffet and table presentation range designed for busy restaurants, hotels and catering venues. This collection includes melamine plates, bowls, slabs and serving trays that combine the look of premium tableware with the practicality of hard-wearing plastics.

Break-resistant, lightweight and easy to clean, it is a smart choice for Irish hospitality operations that need reliable style and performance.

• Stylish melamine plates in round, oval and rectangular formats for main courses, sharing dishes and desserts.
• GN-sized melamine slabs and boards, including GN 1/3, GN 1/2 and GN 1/1 options for buffet and chilled display units.
• Coordinated serving trays and deep dishes ideal for self-service counters, carveries and hotel breakfast buffets.
• Durable, break-resistant construction that handles busy restaurant, cafe and hotel service without chipping like traditional crockery.
• Compatible clear polycarbonate dome lids with decorative handles to protect food while maintaining full visibility.
• Versatile designs suited to creative display concepts, from deli counters and salad bars to dessert stations and event catering.

How to choose the right Utah Melamine Tableware

• Match GN sizes and slab dimensions to your existing buffet wells, refrigerated counters and display fridges for a neat, efficient layout.
• Choose plate and tray shapes (round, oval or rectangular) that complement your menu style, from sharing platters to individual plated dishes.
• Consider depth and capacity of bowls and dishes to suit salads, sides, mains or desserts, avoiding overfilled or underwhelming portions.
• Select colours and finishes, such as copper-effect Utah pieces, that work with your brand and interior design for a cohesive presentation.
• Plan for service style: opt for lighter pieces for staff-carried service and larger slabs and boards for static buffet or deli displays.
• Allow for storage space by checking stackability and overall footprint, especially in compact kitchens or mobile catering setups.

Care and maintenance

• Wash Utah melamine items with non-abrasive detergents and soft cloths or sponges to preserve the surface finish.
• Check manufacturer guidance on dishwasher suitability and avoid excessively high temperatures that may warp plastic components.
• Avoid using sharp knives directly on melamine slabs and boards where possible to minimise scratching and extend service life.
• Store plates, bowls and trays in stable, stacked piles to prevent warping and accidental damage during busy service periods.
• Inspect clear polycarbonate dome lids regularly for cracks or clouding and replace any damaged covers to maintain hygiene and visibility.
• Keep items away from direct heat sources such as salamanders or hotplates, as melamine is not designed for cooking or oven use.
