Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grove Kitchen in Harrogate decided to overhaul their tableware to better reflect their commitment to rustic, high-quality British cuisine. They chose the Olympia Build-a-Bowl Earth collection to replace their standard white plates for main courses.

"Our customers absolutely love them. We get comments all the time about how lovely the bowls are. They feel substantial and  really make the colours of the food stand out. They've been through hundreds of dishwasher cycles and  look as good as the day we got them."

Robert Finch – Proprietor

The switch helped elevate their presentation, contributing to a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the overall dining experience.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash thoroughly in a dishwasher or by hand before the first use to ensure they are pristine for service.
  • The non-glazed foot provides stability, but always place on a clean, flat surface.
  • When stacking, align the bowls carefully to protect the edges and  ensure a stable column.
  • These bowls are oven-safe, making them perfect for pre-warming before serving hot food.

Keeping It Going

  • These bowls are designed for commercial dishwashers, ensuring fast and  effective cleaning.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive powders to maintain the integrity of the unique glaze.
  • While incredibly durable, try to avoid severe thermal shock (e.g., from a hot oven straight into cold water).
  • Don't forget, they're covered by Olympia's Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty for added security against accidents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these bowls sold individually or in a set?

A: They are supplied in a convenient, cost-effective pack of four bowls.

Q: Is the finish on every bowl exactly the same?

A: No. The reactive glazing process ensures that each bowl has a unique, subtly different pattern, which adds to its charm.

Q: What does 'fully vitrified' actually mean for a busy kitchen?

A: It means the bowl is non-porous, so it won't absorb flavours, odours, or bacteria. It's stronger and  much more hygienic.

Q: Can I use these bowls to heat up food in the microwave?

A: Absolutely. They are completely safe for use in both commercial microwaves and  conventional ovens.

Q: How big is the bowl in litres?

A: Each bowl has a generous capacity of 1.2 litres (42oz), making it ideal for main courses like pasta, stews, or large salads.

Q: What is the BS4034 certification?

A: It's a British Standard that guarantees the bowl's suitability for the rigours of hotel and  catering use, confirming its high durability.

Q: Are they very heavy?

A: Being made from durable porcelain, they have a quality weight to them. A full box of four weighs 3.6kg.

Q: What is the purpose of the 'non-glazed foot' on the bottom?

A: The unglazed base ring helps to prevent the bowl from slipping on tabletops and  provides a more stable base for stacking.

More Than Just a Pretty Plate: The Power of Vitrified Porcelain

Ever wondered what 'fully vitrified' actually means? It’s the secret sauce that makes this bowl a commercial kitchen champion. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until the clay becomes glass-like and  non-porous. Think of it like turning a regular sponge into a solid, smooth pebble. This process means the bowl won't absorb water, oils, or odours from food, making it far more hygienic and  resistant to stains. It also gives it immense strength, which is why it can handle the oven, microwave, and  the rigours of a commercial dishwasher without breaking a sweat. It’s the science that delivers a tougher, longer-lasting, and  safer product for your business.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs and  Bistros: Perfect for presenting signature main courses, hearty pasta dishes, or large sharing salads with rustic flair.
  • Farm-to-Table Restaurants: The earthy brown tones and  organic feel beautifully complement fresh, seasonal, and  locally sourced menus.
  • Boutique Hotels: An ideal choice for in-room dining or restaurant service, adding a touch of sophisticated, homely luxury.
  • Event Caterers: A durable, stackable, and  stylish option for serving guests at weddings and  functions that demand quality presentation.
