Side plates
Ideal for side dishes at dinner or sandwiches at lunch, our side plates come in a big range of styles and materials to help you find what you want. They are part of different series along with bigger plates and bowls, so it's easy to create coordinated sets if you fancy.
Side Plates That Set the Tone for Every Meal
Side plates might be small, but they play a big part in everyday dining. From breakfast toast to pudding portions and afternoon snacks, the right side plate adds that finishing touch to your table – and can make even a biscuit feel special. Our collection of side plates is full of thoughtful design, with a wide mix of colours, textures and materials to suit all kinds of eating occasions.
Which material is best for everyday use?
Most of our side plates are made from stoneware or porcelain – two materials known for their durability and good looks.
- Stoneware has a tactile, crafted feel. It’s slightly heavier and often comes in more rustic glazes like stoneware blue or light beige. These plates bring warmth and character to everyday meals.
- Porcelain is lighter and typically more refined. It’s smooth, sturdy, and often chosen for its clean, classic look – ideal if you want something that feels a little more polished.
All our side plates are dishwasher safe and built for regular use, whether you’re serving up kids’ snacks or after-work nibbles.
What colours and styles are available?
From soft tones to bold patterns, there’s plenty to explore – and mix and match.
- Light green and light pink side plates are perfect for playful, mood-lifting table settings.
- Matt light grey and dark grey options offer a more understated, minimalist feel that works in both modern and traditional kitchens.
- Patterned side plates can add a pop of personality – floral, geometric or hand-painted designs help turn the everyday into something more expressive.
Whether you prefer a matched set or a joyful mix of tones and styles, you’ll find combinations that spark ideas and suit your space.
How do I choose the right side plates for my lifestyle?
Think about how you use plates day to day. If you often host friends or enjoy a variety of cuisines, having a few sets in different colours can make the table feel new every time. For small kitchens, stackable designs save space without compromising on style. And for households with busy routines, choosing hardwearing glazes (especially in stoneware blue or dark grey) can mean fewer chips and less fuss.
However you serve – from toast and tea to tapas nights – the right side plates help set the mood, tell your style story, and turn simple meals into small moments of joy.
