Expert Review and  Insights

Olympia has long been the go-to for venues that need tableware to be both elegant and  incredibly resilient, and  this platter is a perfect example. It has a reassuring weight and  a flawless finish that makes food look fantastic, but it's the sheer toughness of the vitrified body that really impresses. It’s a smart, no-nonsense investment for any serious hospitality business.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Built to Last: The vitrified porcelain and  rolled edges make it exceptionally chip-resistant.
  • A Bit Heavy: At nearly 2.5kg, it feels substantial but can be weighty for staff.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Mariner's Inn, a popular coastal gastropub in Whitby, was struggling with constant crockery replacements. Their existing plates were chipping easily during busy weekend services, making presentation inconsistent and  driving up costs.

"We switched to the Olympia C362 platters a few months ago and  the difference is night and  day. They look fantastic, they're incredibly tough, and  they make our seafood platters look a million dollars. Our staff love them because they know they can rely on them not to break."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

Since making the switch, the pub has reported a 90% reduction in crockery breakages and  a noticeable improvement in table presentation consistency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unbox and  inspect each platter for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Before first use, it's always good practice to run them through a hot dishwasher cycle to ensure they are perfectly clean.
  • Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf for storage to minimise unnecessary handling and  potential drops.
  • Ensure shelving is strong enough to handle the combined weight of multiple platters.

Keeping It Going

  • To maintain the flawless glaze, avoid using abrasive metal scourers; a standard washing-up brush or sponge is sufficient.
  • When stacking, do so carefully to prevent scratching the surface of the platter below.
  • Although tough, avoid dropping the platters or subjecting them to extreme, sudden temperature changes (like freezer to hot oven).
  • Handle with dry hands or cloths for a secure grip, especially when hot from the oven or dishwasher.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure which crockery is right for your establishment? Here are a few things to keep in mind to help you make the best choice.

Material is Everything

Vitrified porcelain like this Olympia platter offers the best balance of looks and  strength for most commercial uses, resisting chips and  stains far better than standard earthenware.

Consider the Rim

A wide rim rectangular serving platter frames your food beautifully and  gives staff a secure place to grip. A narrow rim maximises serving space. Choose based on your presentation style.

Stackability is Key

In a kitchen where space is at a premium, ensure your chosen tableware stacks securely and  neatly. This prevents accidents and  saves valuable shelf space.

Match Your Menu

Think about the dishes you serve most. Rectangular platters are fantastic for steaks, fish, or sharing boards, while round plates are classic all-rounders.

Don't Forget the Weight

A heavier plate often feels more premium to the customer, but make sure your staff can carry multiple plates comfortably and  safely during a busy service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the white glaze stain over time with things like tomato sauces or curry?

A: No, the super vitrified porcelain is non-porous, which makes it highly resistant to stains and  odours. It will maintain its brilliant white colour.

Q: What does meeting the BS4034 standard actually mean?

A: It's a British Hotelware Standard that certifies the platter has low water absorption and  is durable enough to withstand the rigours of a professional hotel or restaurant environment.

Q: Can this platter go directly from the freezer into a hot oven?

A: We advise against extreme thermal shock. It's best to allow the platter to come closer to room temperature before placing it in a pre-heated oven to ensure its longevity.

Q: Is the serving surface completely flat?

A: The platter has a very slight, gentle curve towards the centre, which helps to keep food and  any juices contained, preventing spills.

Q: How robust are the rolled edges against chipping?

A: The rolled edges are specifically designed as a key durability feature, significantly strengthening the rim against knocks from other plates, cutlery, or kitchen surfaces.

Q: Is the finish on the platter glossy or matte?

A: It has a smooth, classic glossy glaze, which enhances the look of food and  makes it very easy to clean.

Q: Are these sold individually or in a pack?

A: This Olympia C362 platter is sold singly, allowing you to buy the exact quantity you need for your business, whether it's one or one hundred.

Q: Is the wide rim practical for carrying?

A: Absolutely. The wide rim provides a solid and  secure grip for waiting staff, making it easier and  safer to carry from the kitchen to the table.

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

Ever wondered what makes some crockery tougher than others? 'Super Vitrified' is the key. Think of it like this: standard porcelain is like a hard sponge, with tiny pores. Vitrified porcelain, on the other hand, is fired at a much higher temperature until those pores fuse shut, making it solid and  non-porous. This process gives the Olympia serving plate its superpowers. It means it won't absorb water, oils, or food odours, so it's more hygienic and  completely stain-resistant. More importantly, it makes the platter immensely stronger and  more resistant to chipping—a crucial benefit for any busy commercial kitchen where knocks are inevitable.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Bistros: An ideal choice for presenting sharing starters, signature main courses, or elegant side dishes.
  • Hotels & Event Caterers: A must-have for professional buffet displays, serving canapés, and  robust function service.
  • Cafés & Delis: Perfect for showcasing premium cakes, fresh pastries, and  speciality sandwiches in your display counter.
  • Pubs & Gastropubs: The perfect size for serving up hearty sharing platters, steaks, or a classic fish and  chips.
