  • Con: The reactive glaze means slight colour variations, which might bother perfectionists.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Mariner, a popular seaside restaurant in Whitby, needed to upgrade their old porcelain to something that better reflected their hearty, home-cooked menu and  coastal setting. They chose the Olympia C108 Stoneware Dishes for their robust build and  aesthetic appeal.

"These dishes are brilliant. They look the part, they're tough as old boots, and  our customers love the presentation of our signature fish pies. They hold the heat really well, which is exactly what you want on a chilly day by the sea."

Robert Clarke – Head Chef

The move to oven-to-table service with these dishes streamlined their kitchen-to-diner process, contributing to a 10% increase in covers during their peak evening service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water before their first use to remove any dust from packing and  transit.
  • Upon unboxing, quickly check each dish to ensure there's no damage from the journey.
  • When stacking, be mindful not to slide them against each other to protect the glaze; lift and  place them carefully.

Keeping It Going

  • For really stubborn, baked-on food (like cheese or gravy!), let the dish soak for a bit before it goes in the dishwasher.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive powders, as these can dull the lovely glazed finish over time.
  • While they are tough, always try to avoid extreme temperature changes, like taking a piping hot dish and  plunging it into cold water.
  • Load into your dishwasher racks carefully to prevent them from knocking against other items during the wash cycle.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Finding it tricky to pick the perfect dishes? Here are a few pointers to help you decide what's right for your business.

Consider Capacity

Make sure the dish size matches your portion control strategy. This 395ml Olympia C108 pie bowl is fantastic for main course pies or generous sides.

Material Matters

Stoneware, like this, offers brilliant rustic charm and  durability. Porcelain is more classic and  formal, while melamine is a lightweight champ for outdoor or event catering.

Think About Colour

A warm, neutral colour like this 'Earth' tone really makes food the star of the show. White is a timeless classic, but coloured dishes can beautifully enhance your brand's theme.

Versatility is Key

Can it go in the oven, microwave, and  freezer? A multi-functional commercial stoneware oval dish like this saves a huge amount of time, effort, and  storage space.

Stackability and  Storage

Check if the items stack neatly and  securely. In a busy kitchen where space is at a premium, efficient and  stable storage is an absolute must.

Q: Are these dishes sold individually?

A: No, the Olympia C108 is supplied in a convenient and  value-for-money pack of 6.

Q: Is the 'Earth' brown colour perfectly uniform on every dish?

A: Due to the reactive glaze used to create the lovely rustic effect, you can expect slight, charming variations between pieces, which adds to their character.

A: The total capacity is 395ml (14oz), which is ideal for a generous individual portion of pie, crumble, or casserole.

The Olympia Promise: Durability Meets Design

For any busy pub, bistro, or café, tableware is an investment that needs to perform day in, day out. The Olympia C108 oval stoneware pie bowl is more than just a pretty dish; it's a workhorse designed for the rigours of professional catering. Olympia is renowned for creating products that balance aesthetic appeal with practical toughness. This vitrified stoneware isn't just chip-resistant; it's non-porous, meaning it won't harbour flavours or odours from previous meals, ensuring a fresh experience for every customer. This long-term hygiene and  durability mean fewer replacements, lower operational costs, and  consistent presentation that you can rely on, service after service. It's the kind of smart, reliable choice that lets you focus on the food, not the plate it's served on.

Why a Vitrified Stoneware Body Makes All the Difference

Ever wondered what makes commercial stoneware so tough? It's a process called 'vitrification'. During firing at incredibly high temperatures, the clay and  minerals fuse together and  become glass-like and  non-porous. This is the key difference between high-quality catering stoneware and  standard pottery.

Think of it like the difference between a regular house brick and  a glazed bathroom tile. One soaks up water, while the other is completely sealed against it. Because this Olympia stoneware serving bowl is vitrified, it won't absorb oils, liquids, or strong flavours from food like a curry or a fish pie. This means superior hygiene, no lingering odours, and  much greater resistance to the 'thermal shock' of going from a hot oven to a cooler environment. It's this hidden feature that ensures a longer life and  better performance in your kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Traditional Pubs & Inns: Absolutely ideal for serving your signature steak and  ale pies or fish pies with rustic flair.
  • Bistros & Cafés: Perfect for elevating your lunch menu with individual lasagnes, shepherd's pies, or warming crumbles.
  • Hotel Restaurants: A durable and  stylish choice for room service mains or for serving individual breakfast dishes like shakshuka.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Great for presenting deli counter sides or selling pre-made meals in an attractive, oven-ready dish.
