Testimonials

ASMA KHAN FOUNDER • Darjeeling Express, London UK • First British chef to be featured on Netflix’s Chefs Table • Author of “Asma’s Indian Kitchen: Home-cooked food brought to you by Darjeeling Express” Darjeeling Express started as a dinner for 12 guests at home, serving Indian food lovingly cooked from family recipes that go back generations. “I wanted the plates to be a frame for my food - the brown dappled edge was exactly what I wanted and Steelite kindly made a range bespoke for me - and added the logo too. One of our starter dishes - the chilli garlic prawns is heavily instagrammed - the bespoke Steelite plate the perfect background! So happy I spent time and resources on my tableware - every time I walk into my restaurant and see the tables set up for service my heart smiles - I am still so in love with the plates one year since we opened.”

SIMON HULSTONE CHEF PROPRIETOR • The Elephant, Torquay UK The restaurant offers a delicious à la carte menu and set menus featuring fish, meat and vegetables all sourced locally from the surrounding area. Diners looking for something extra special can select the Michelin starred tasting menu. All dishes served at The Elephant change regularly depending on the locally grown and reared ingredients that are best. Many of these are sourced from their dedicated farm. “Steelite have once again come up with on trend and versatile new ranges, I’m drawn to the rustic colours of Vesuvius and Revolution which fit so perfectly in so many dining environments and can be mixed and matched to really make our culinary creations shine. My food has found a perfect partner and tableware has never been so pleasing on the eye”.
