  • Presentation Power: The semi-matte black finish makes vibrant ingredients and  sauces stand out brilliantly.
  • Cutlery Marks: As with most dark stoneware, it can show marks from heavy cutlery use over time.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salted Pig gastropub in Cardiff recently revamped its menu to focus on modern, locally-sourced ingredients and  needed tableware to match. They replaced their traditional white plates with the Olympia CU950 Black Coupe Plates to create a more dramatic and  contemporary dining experience.

"We were looking for plates that were tough enough for a Saturday night service but still looked the part. These Olympia plates are fantastic – they make our dishes look like they belong in a magazine, and  our customers have really noticed the difference."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The striking new presentation style led to a noticeable increase in customers sharing photos of their meals on social media, boosting the pub's online visibility.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before their first use, give all plates a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run them through a full dishwasher cycle.
  • Upon delivery, quickly inspect each plate to ensure there's been no damage during transit.
  • When stacking for storage, consider using plate dividers or felt squares to protect the glaze and  prevent scratches.

Keeping It Going

  • Load plates into your dishwasher carefully, making sure they don't knock against each other during the wash cycle.
  • To minimise visible marks, try to avoid using heavily serrated steak knives directly on the plate surface.
  • While very tough, it's always best to avoid extreme and  sudden temperature shocks, such as moving a plate directly from a hot oven to a cold water rinse.
  • For any stubborn marks that may appear over time, a gentle buff with a non-abrasive porcelain cleaner can work wonders.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Crockery

Not sure which plates are the best fit for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Stoneware, like this Olympia CU950 black coupe plate 200mm, offers a rustic, robust feel perfect for modern and  casual dining. For a more classic, fine-dining feel, you might prefer porcelain. Match the material to your brand's personality.

Consider the Colour

White is a timeless classic, but it's not your only option. A dramatic black plate provides stunning contrast, making colourful ingredients and  artistic plating truly stand out. Think about your menu and  what will make it look best.

Shape and  Size

A coupe plate gives you a borderless, edge-to-edge canvas for your food. Ensure the diameter fits your portion sizes and, just as importantly, your dishwasher racks and  storage shelves!

Durability is a Must

In a commercial setting, always look for features like 'fully vitrified' and  'chip-resistant edges'. These aren't just buzzwords; they mean the plate is built to withstand the knocks of a professional kitchen, saving you money on replacements.

Check the Stack

Good crockery should stack neatly and  securely. This not only prevents wobbles and  potential breakage but also saves an enormous amount of precious shelf space in a tight kitchen or storage area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates completely black?

A: Yes, they feature a solid black colour on the top serving surface, which provides a fantastic, modern backdrop for food presentation.

Q: What does a 'coupe' plate mean?

A: A coupe plate has a gentle, continuous curve from the base to the edge with no separate rim. This maximises the usable plating area and  gives it a sleek, contemporary look.

Q: Can I use these in my high-temperature commercial dishwasher?

A: Absolutely. They are specifically designed to be commercial dishwasher safe, withstanding the high temperatures and  detergents used in professional kitchens.

Q: Are they very heavy to carry?

A: Each plate weighs 0.53kg. This gives them a quality, substantial feel in the hand without being too heavy for staff to carry in stacks.

Q: How effective are the 'chip-resistant edges'?

A: The soft, rolled edges are designed to absorb minor impacts from daily handling, stacking, and  washing, significantly reducing the likelihood of chipping compared to plates with sharp, thin rims.

Q: Will my customers' knives scratch the surface?

A: Like most quality stoneware, sustained and  heavy use of sharp cutlery can leave faint marks over time. This is a normal characteristic of the material's glaze.

Q: Is the finish shiny or matte?

A: The plate has a stylish semi-matte finish. This helps to reduce glare under restaurant lighting and  enhances the visual texture of the food served on it.

Q: How many plates do I get in one box?

A: This product is sold as a convenient and  cost-effective pack of 12 plates, making it easy to cater for all your tables.

Why 'Chip-Resistant Rolled Edges' Make All the Difference

Ever wondered what 'rolled edges' actually means? It's a subtle but crucial design feature for any commercial plate. Instead of a sharp, thin edge, the rim of the plate is slightly thickened and  smoothly rounded off. Think of it like the reinforced corners on a high-quality suitcase – it’s designed to protect the most vulnerable part of the plate from knocks and  bumps.

In a hectic kitchen environment where plates are constantly being stacked, loaded into dishwashers, and  placed on the pass, this small detail makes a huge difference. It drastically reduces the chance of getting those ugly and  unhygienic chips, meaning your plates stay looking professional for much longer and  you spend less money on replacements. It's a simple feature that delivers real, long-term value.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Modern Bistros & Restaurants: Ideal for plating vibrant mains and  starters where the food is the hero on the plate.
  • Artisan Coffee Shops & Cafes: The perfect black crockery plate for cafes serving up colourful cakes, pastries, or gourmet sandwiches with style.
  • Boutique Hotels & Guesthouses: A superb choice for in-room dining or breakfast service, offering a touch of sophisticated, durable design.
  • Event Caterers: A reliable and  robust option for serving guests at functions, with durability that withstands transport and  busy service.
