- Practically Unbreakable: The stainless steel build easily handles the inevitable drops of a busy service.
- Heat Transfer: Be mindful as it can get hot when serving freshly fried foods directly.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The George & Dragon, a busy gastropub in York, was looking for a durable and stylish alternative to their ceramic ramekins, which were prone to chipping during service and washing.
"We were fed up with replacing chipped pots every month. It was wasteful and looked unprofessional. These Beaumont stainless steel cups are brilliant – they look fantastic, are virtually indestructible, and our regulars have noticed the smarter presentation with our signature fries."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
The switch completely eliminated their monthly spend on replacement ramekins and elevated their table presentation overnight.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give them a good wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.

Keeping It Going
- These cups are dishwasher safe for convenience.
- For the best, long-lasting shine, occasional handwashing and polishing is recommended.

- Stack them carefully in storage to keep them looking pristine for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these cups dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, they are designed to be dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the best possible polished finish long-term, handwashing and drying with a soft cloth is recommended.
Q: Can I use them for hot liquids like soup?
A: While they can hold hot liquids, the stainless steel body will conduct heat and become hot to the touch. They are better suited for warm sides, dips, and cold items.
Q: Do they stack well?
A: Yes, their tapered shape allows them to nest inside each other for easy, space-saving storage.
Q: Will the polished finish scratch easily?
A: Like any polished metal, it can be scratched by abrasive materials. Avoid using steel wool or harsh scouring pads to keep them looking their best.
Q: Will they rust or tarnish?
A: This is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and tarnishing, even with constant commercial use and washing.
Q: What is the exact capacity?
A: The dimensions are 85x85mm, making them a perfect size for a standard portion of sauce, a scoop of ice cream, or a side of coleslaw.
Q: Can you put them in a microwave or oven?
A: No. As they are made of metal, they must never be used in a microwave. They are also not designed for oven use.
Q: Is the material food-grade?
A: Absolutely. Beaumont is a trusted brand in hospitality, and all their serving products are made from food-safe stainless steel suitable for commercial kitchens.

Ever wondered why professional kitchens are packed with stainless steel? It’s not just about the modern, shiny look. The real magic is that the material is non-porous. Think of it like a sheet of glass versus a kitchen sponge. Porous materials like some ceramics can absorb microscopic amounts of oils, flavours, and odours over time. Stainless steel can't. This means every time you wash this stainless steel appetiser serving cup, it's perfectly clean and hygienic, with no risk of a zesty lemon dip tasting faintly of last night's curry. It guarantees a true-to-taste experience for your customers, every single time.
Who Should Buy This?
- Gastropubs & Bistros: An ideal vessel for serving chunky chips, premium dips, or side salads with a modern flourish.
- Hotels & Event Caterers: Perfect for presenting elegant canapés or individual portions on a sophisticated buffet line.
- Tapas Restaurants: A stylish way to serve individual portions of olives, aioli, or patatas bravas sauce.
- Farm Shops & Delis: Excellent for offering samples of olives, cheeses, or chutneys to customers in a smart, hygienic way.
