Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Stag & Huntsman in Keswick, Cumbria, wanted to refresh their tableware to match their new rustic interior without compromising on durability. They switched from standard ceramic plates to the Beaumont galvanised platters for their signature burger and steak dishes.
"We needed something that looked the part but could handle the knocks of a busy Saturday night. These platters are brilliant – tough, stylish, and our customers love the look. They just work.".
David Campbell – Head Chef
The change has helped create a more cohesive and memorable dining aesthetic, with customer feedback on presentation improving noticeably since the switch.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give the platter a quick check over to ensure it's in perfect condition.
- Before its first use, wash gently with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Always plan to use a food-safe barrier like greaseproof paper between the platter and your food.
Keeping It Going
- This platter is not dishwasher safe. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the zinc coating.
- Dry immediately and completely after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its finish.
- Stack carefully with paper in between each platter to prevent scratches during storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this platter dishwasher safe?
A: No, to protect the galvanised finish, it should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and dried immediately. The high heat and detergents in a dishwasher can damage the coating.
Q: Can I serve food directly on the tin?
A: We strongly recommend using a food-safe liner, like greaseproof or wax paper. This protects the platter's surface and is best practice for food hygiene, especially with wet or acidic ingredients.
Q: What is the diameter of this round galvanised serving tray?
A: The platter has a serving diameter of 304mm, which is equivalent to 12 inches, making it a great size for mains or sharers.
Q: How heavy is the Beaumont tin platter 304mm?
A: It's very lightweight for its size, weighing just 0.4kg. This makes it easy for your front-of-house staff to carry from the kitchen to the table, even when full.
Q: What kind of look does this platter create?
A: The galvanised tin provides a very popular rustic, industrial look that works perfectly in modern gastropubs, cafés, and bistros.
Q: Can these platters be stacked for storage?
A: Yes, their shape allows for easy stacking to save valuable space in your kitchen or storage area. We suggest placing a paper towel between them to prevent scratching.
Q: Is the surface completely smooth?
A: It has the characteristic, slightly mottled texture of galvanised metal, which is a key part of its rustic charm and visual appeal.
Q: Is this suitable for hot food?
A: Yes, it is suitable for serving hot food like burgers, chips, and pies, but remember to use a liner. The metal can get warm, so handle with care.

Explore more from BeaumontMore Than Just Metal: Understanding Galvanised Tin
Ever wondered what 'galvanised' actually means? In simple terms, it's a process where a protective zinc coating is applied to steel or iron to prevent it from rusting. Think of it like a tough, waterproof coat for the metal. The outer zinc layer takes the hit from moisture and air, sacrificing itself to protect the steel underneath. It's the same technology that helps things like lampposts and farm gates last for decades outdoors. This galvanised food presentation tray uses that very principle to give you long-lasting durability in a busy kitchen environment, resisting the wear and tear of daily service far better than untreated metal would.
