I have a large offcut from a neolith worktop which I want to attach to a set of legs which have a steel top plate that the worktop will rest on. Can anyone suggest what type of adhesive would be best for these materials?

I would say that a good quality epoxy resin would be answer.
This says it is specifically for Neolith:
IRIDIUM - Epoxy Glue for Lapitec, Neolith & Dekton - D Zambelis LimitedThe comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1 -
If you are talking about attaching the legs to the underside of the worktop:
1. I doubt that even a decent epoxy adhesive would hold in the long term.
2. The legs need to be screwed to the worktop.3 -

Something like the threaded inserts/studs sold by Keep-Nut Self-Anchoring Insert for Stone and Composites (npfasteners.com) might work. If you are drilling into the neolith, I would try drilling an offcut first. If the offcut survives, the real worktop will.The comments I post are my personal opinion.

Brilliant thanks, that sounds the job.

I get what you are saying. It is heavy but not huge so should be pretty stable.

I've had a read of the technical manual available here: Technical Forum to answer your questions (neolith.com)
Neolith is not very strong in bending. You might be better to put a piece of 25mm ply under the Neolith offcut to support it, and screw the legs to the ply. Fix the Neolith to the ply with epoxy.The comments I post are my personal opinion.

Thanks for finding the manual tacpot12. The piece is 800 x 1100mm and 20mm thick so I was hoping it would be rigid enough. I would also prefer not to add to the weight if possible
