- Cons: Their 320mm size needs a commercial dishwasher and ample shelf space to store properly.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Sparrow, a contemporary eatery in Bristol, was looking to refresh its tableware to match a new, more adventurous menu. Their old, standard round plates just weren't doing justice to the chef's creations.
"We needed something that was both tough and elegant. These Olympia rectangular plates immediately made our dishes look more professional and intentional. Customers constantly comment on the presentation, and the durability has been fantastic. They've been through hundreds of services and still look brand new."
Robert Miller – Head Chef, The Gilded Sparrow
Following the switch, the restaurant noted a significant uptick in food photos being shared on social media, directly contributing to increased bookings.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
- Ensure you have adequate, sturdy shelving cleared to store the plates safely.
Keeping It Going
- When stacking, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift them to prevent scuff marks on the glaze.
- To prevent thermal shock, avoid taking a plate directly from the freezer and placing it into a hot oven. Allow it to come to room temperature first.
- Load into dishwashers carefully, ensuring they don't knock against other items during the wash cycle.
- The super vitrified body is stain-resistant, but it's always best practice to rinse off sauces with strong colours like beetroot or turmeric promptly.

For years, the brand has been a cornerstone of the UK hospitality industry, trusted by chefs and restaurateurs who need equipment that won't let them down.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Super Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You see 'vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what is it? Think of it as giving porcelain superpowers. During manufacturing, the plate is fired at an incredibly high temperature, which causes the material to fuse together and become 'vitrified'. This process closes up all the tiny, microscopic pores in the porcelain.
Imagine the difference between a sponge and a pane of glass. A sponge soaks everything up, but glass is completely non-porous. Vitrification turns the plate into that pane of glass. This means it won't absorb water, grease, or food odours, making it far more hygienic and resistant to stains. It's also what gives the plate its immense strength and resistance to chipping, ensuring it lasts longer in a demanding commercial kitchen.
