  • Practical Strength: The vitrified body and  chip warranty aren't just marketing; they really work.
  • Understated Design: Its classic look might be too simple for venues with edgy aesthetics.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Falmouth, Cornwall, was looking to standardise its tableware. Their collection of mismatched plates, acquired over years, looked unprofessional and  was prone to chipping, leading to constant replacement costs during the busy tourist season.

"We needed something that looked clean and  could withstand a hectic service, day in, day out. The Olympia platters have been absolutely brilliant. They look smart on the table and  have survived countless cycles through the dishwasher without a single mark on them."

Robert Davies – Owner & Head Chef

The switch resulted in a more cohesive, professional look for their tables and  cut their tableware breakage and  replacement budget by half within the first year.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Always wash thoroughly before the first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
  • Unpack and  inspect each platter carefully upon delivery to ensure they're all in perfect condition.
  • Familiarise staff with the ideal uses for this size to ensure consistent plating across your menu.

Keeping It Pristine

  • Stack carefully in the dishwasher, ensuring items do not knock against each other during the wash cycle.
  • Use a non-abrasive detergent to maintain the pristine glazed finish over thousands of washes.
  • Avoid extreme thermal shock – don't take a platter from the freezer and  put it straight into a hot oven.
  • When stacking for storage, avoid sliding them over each other to prevent scuffing the glaze over time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what fits best for your service? Finding the right tableware can make a huge difference to your efficiency and  presentation. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Material Matters

Vitrified porcelain, like this Olympia CB477 oval serving platter, is the industry standard for durability and  hygiene. It's tougher and  less porous than earthenware or stoneware, making it a wise investment.

Size and  Shape for Your Menu

Consider what you'll be serving. This 25cm oval shape is a brilliant all-rounder for mains, shared plates, and  sides, but you might need different shapes for soups or specific appetisers.

Look for Durability Features

Features like rolled edges, an edge-chip warranty, and  certification (like BS4034) are clear signs that a product is designed for the knocks and  scrapes of a professional kitchen.

Think About Storage

Is space tight? Always check if tableware is stackable. A uniform, stackable set saves a surprising amount of shelf space and  reduces the risk of breakages.

Match Your Brand's Aesthetic

Classic whiteware is versatile and  timeless. It lets your food be the hero and  fits almost any restaurant style, from a traditional pub to a contemporary bistro.

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

You see the term 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional tableware, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature (over 1200°C). This process fuses the clay particles together, turning a naturally porous material into a solid, glass-like substance.

Think of it like the difference between a sponge and  a glass marble. A sponge soaks up everything, but a marble is completely sealed. Because vitrified porcelain is non-porous, it won't absorb water, grease, or food odours. This makes it far more hygienic, resistant to stains, and  much stronger. It’s this incredible density and  strength that allows Olympia to confidently offer its Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty – they know it's built to withstand the rigours of a commercial kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for serving main courses, sharing starters, or classic pub grub with a professional touch.
  • Hotels & Guesthouses: A durable and  elegant choice for room service, breakfast buffets, or in-house restaurant dining.
  • Event Caterers: Its stackable, robust design makes it ideal for transporting and  serving at weddings and  functions.
  • Cafés & Bistros: An ideal size for presenting lunch specials, cakes, or hearty sandwiches in a stylish way.
