Catering Ramekins

Ramekins wholesale – that’s what most trade buyers are actually searching for, and it’s exactly what this range covers. Ascot Wholesale stocks over 400 ramekin lines at trade prices: porcelain, ceramic, stoneware, metal and glass, from small dip pots to large baking dishes. Cheap ramekins don’t have to mean poor quality – the lines here are built for commercial service and priced accordingly.

Use the filters above to narrow by material, size, colour or brand.

Porcelain & Ceramic Ramekins

The most common commercial format. White porcelain ramekins are the default choice for most restaurants, cafés and hotels – they’re neutral, stackable and easy to replace.

What’s in this section:

• Standard white porcelain ramekins – 7–9cm diameter, 85–170ml capacity, cases of 12 or 24
• Coloured ramekins – black, blue, green, grey and reactive-glaze finishes from Churchill and Steelite
• Glazed ceramic ramekin dishes – textured and matte options for artisan or rustic presentations
• Porcelain ramekins from Genware and Utopia – affordable ramekins at trade price, reliable glaze, consistent sizing

Porcelain ramekins are the practical choice for high-volume operations. They’re lighter than stoneware, stack tighter and survive commercial dishwashers without the glaze degrading quickly. A 7cm porcelain ramekin from Genware, for example, typically comes in cases of 12 – straightforward to stock and replace.

For operators who want something more distinctive, Churchill’s Stonecast and Craft ranges include coloured ramekins with reactive glazes that vary slightly between pieces – a popular choice for independent restaurants and gastropubs.

Large Ramekins & Baking Dishes

Larger formats for individual gratins, soufflés, baked eggs and portion-controlled desserts. These are the oven ramekins that do real kitchen work.

What’s in this section:

• Large ramekins – 10–12cm diameter, 250–350ml capacity, suited to individual desserts and baked starters
• Individual gratin dishes – oval or round, deeper profile, oven-safe ceramic or porcelain
• Soufflé dishes – straight-sided, typically 9–11cm, available from Steelite and Dudson
• Baking ramekins – thicker walls for oven use, rated for temperatures up to 220°C in most cases

Large ramekins are worth buying in bulk if you’re running a set menu with a baked starter or individual dessert. The capacity difference between a 170ml and a 350ml ramekin is significant for portion control – check the millilitre figure, not just the diameter.

Oven ramekins in this range are built for direct oven use. Most are also dishwasher safe, which matters when you’re turning around 60+ covers a night.

Metal & Glass Ramekins

Not every service calls for ceramic. Metal and glass ramekins suit specific presentation styles and are increasingly common on sharing boards and casual dining menus.

What’s in this section:

• Metal ramekins – stainless steel, typically 42–120ml, used for sauces, dips and condiments; available from Genware and Artis
• Glass ramekins – clear borosilicate or tempered glass, 60–170ml, suited to desserts and cold prep
• Enamel ramekin dishes – vintage-style finish, popular for brunch and casual dining concepts
• Stainless steel dip pots – compact, stackable, suited to sharing boards and bar snack service

Metal ramekins are more durable than ceramic for sauce service – no chipping risk if they’re knocked on a pass. Glass ramekins work well for desserts where you want the layers visible: a panna cotta or a layered mousse looks better in glass than in an opaque ceramic.

Disposable ramekins are also stocked for operators who need a single-use option for takeaway or event catering – paper formats available in cases of 250.
