The Olympia Athena range is a true staple in the industry for a reason. These plates aren't trying to reinvent the wheel; they're designed to be the most reliable wheel you can get.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Best Feature: The Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty is a massive vote of confidence in its durability.
  • Consideration: The 165mm size is specific, ideal for sides but not for main courses.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Siren, a popular harbourside bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to replace its collection of mismatched and  constantly chipping side plates. They required a uniform, professional look but, more importantly, something that could survive their intense lunchtime and  evening rushes.

"We were getting through our old plates at an alarming rate; it was a constant expense. Since switching to the Athena Hotelware plates, our breakage and  chipping issues have virtually disappeared. They look smart, handle the heat, and  have already paid for themselves in what we've saved on replacements."

Robert Miller – Head Chef

The bistro significantly cut down on tableware overheads, reporting a drop in replacement needs of over 70% in the first six months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, check each plate for any transit damage before use.
  • Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
  • Designate a clean, dry, and  easily accessible shelf space for your new stackable catering plates Athena.
  • Avoid sliding plates out from the bottom of a stack; always lift from the top.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent scuffs, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift them when stacking or unstacking.
  • When loading into a dishwasher, ensure plates aren't knocking against each other.
  • Although durable, avoid using metal scourers which can damage the glazed finish.
  • Pre-soak plates with stubborn food residue rather than scraping aggressively with metal cutlery.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Plates

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the best crockery for your business.

Consider the Size and  Use

Think about your menu. A 165mm plate is perfect for sides and  starters, but you'll need larger 10-12" plates for mains. Plan your collection around your dishes.

Material Matters

Fully vitrified porcelain, like these white dinner plates 165mm, is the industry standard for durability and  hygiene. It's tough, non-porous, and  built for commercial use.

Stackability is Key

In a commercial kitchen, space is gold. Plates designed to stack neatly and  safely are a must-have to keep your storage areas organised and  efficient.

Look for Edge Durability

The rim is the most vulnerable part of a plate. Look for features like rolled edges or, even better, an edge-chip warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Style vs. Practicality

While fancy designs can be tempting, a classic white plate is timeless, versatile, and  makes your food the star. It's also far easier to replace if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty actually cover?

A: It covers chipping on the rim of the plate that occurs during normal food service, handling, and  washing, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in the product's durability.

Q: Are these plates truly suitable for a busy restaurant?

A: Absolutely. They are made from fully vitrified porcelain and  conform to the BS4034 Hotelware standard, which is specifically for crockery intended for high-use hospitality environments.

Q: What is the main benefit of 'vitrified' porcelain?

A: Vitrification makes the porcelain non-porous. This means it has very low water absorption, preventing it from harbouring bacteria and  making it highly resistant to stains and  odours.

Q: Can I put these plates in a hot holding cabinet?

A: Yes, being oven-safe means they are designed to withstand the sustained, high temperatures used in commercial warming and  hot holding equipment.

Q: Will the glaze scratch easily with cutlery?

A: The hardened glazed finish is designed to resist scratching from everyday cutlery use, helping to maintain its clean, professional appearance over time.

Q: How tall is a stack of 12 plates?

A: As each plate is 20mm high, a full stack of 12 would be approximately 240mm (24cm) tall, though the stacking design may reduce this slightly.

Q: Is the 165mm the full diameter or the inside serving area?

A: The 165mm (6.5 inches) measurement refers to the total diameter of the plate from edge to edge.

Q: Are these Athena CF360 hotel plates part of a larger collection?

A: Yes, the Athena Hotelware range includes a wide variety of matching plates, bowls, cups, and  saucers, allowing you to build a consistent and  complete tableware collection.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

You see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of top-quality restaurant crockery 165mm, but what does it really mean? Think of it as giving the porcelain a superpower. During manufacturing, the plate is fired at an extremely high temperature, which causes the material to become glass-like and  completely non-porous. This means it doesn't absorb water, even if the glaze gets scratched over time. For you, this translates to plates that won't harbour bacteria, absorb food odours or stains, and  are far more resistant to the thermal shock of going from a hot oven to a cooler surface. It's the secret ingredient that makes them so tough and  hygienic.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafes & Coffee Shops: Perfect as stylish, hardwearing side plates for serving cakes, pastries, or a side of toast.
  • Bistros & Restaurants: An ideal choice for serving bread, starters, or small appetisers in a professional setting.
  • Hotels & B&Bs: Great for breakfast service items like fruit portions, or for sides during room service.
  • Care Homes & Hospitals: The durable, hygienic, and  smaller size makes them excellent for controlled portion serving.
