Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Top marks for: The shape is incredibly practical for rectangular platters, a common pain point with round doilies.
- Bear in mind: The paper is quite fine, so it’s best for drier items like cakes and sandwiches.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Willow Creek Guesthouse in Ambleside, Cumbria, wanted to enhance the presentation of their popular cooked breakfast and afternoon cakes without a significant investment. They switched from plain platters to using these Olympia doilies as liners.
"It's such a simple change, but the feedback has been wonderful. Guests frequently comment on the 'lovely little touches'. They make our breakfast platters look so much more appealing and professional, and they catch any stray crumbs, making table turnover that bit quicker."
David Chen – Proprietor
The guesthouse noted a marked increase in positive online reviews mentioning their attention to detail and food presentation within three months of making the change.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Store the pack flat in a clean, dry cupboard to prevent curling or creasing.
- Ensure hands are clean and dry before handling to maintain hygiene.
- Select the doily and place it centrally on your plate, platter, or tray before adding food.
- For baskets, gently press the doily into the base to create a neat liner.
Keeping It Going
- These doilies are designed for single use only; always discard after service.
- Dispose of used doilies in your general waste or paper recycling, depending on local council guidelines.
- Keep an eye on your stock levels to ensure you never run out during a busy period.
- Avoid using with excessively wet or oily foods, as the paper will absorb moisture and may tear.

With Olympia, you're not just buying a product; you're investing in the consistency and reliability that the catering industry demands.

These doilies are manufactured for consistency in size, pattern, and quality, so the first one from the pack looks as professional as the last. This removes variables and helps you maintain a high standard of presentation effortlessly, day in, day out. For a busy establishment, this reliability is priceless.

That's the real-world value Olympia brings to your tables.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy a Sanitary Surface Matters More Than You Think
We often see doilies as just decorative, but their role as a 'sanitary surface' is a huge, often-overlooked benefit. Think of it like this: your serving platters, especially rustic wooden boards or wicker baskets, can have tiny crevices where bacteria can hide, and they are handled frequently. While you clean them thoroughly, placing one of these disposable food presentation doilies down first adds an undeniable layer of hygiene.
It acts as a physical barrier, ensuring the food only touches a fresh, clean, single-use surface. For customers, it’s a powerful visual cue that you care about cleanliness and take food safety seriously. It's the equivalent of putting a fresh coaster down for a drink – a simple, reassuring gesture that builds trust and elevates the entire experience.
