Olympia has really nailed it with the CB479 range. They've got that classic, clean look that lets the food do the talking, but they're built to withstand the chaos of a professional kitchen. The vitrified body and  rolled edges aren't just marketing speak; they genuinely reduce replacements, which is a big win for any busy establishment's bottom line.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Truly Commercial-Grade: The lifetime edge-chip warranty is a massive vote of confidence.
  • Classic, Not Cutting-Edge: The traditional design may not suit very modern, avant-garde restaurant concepts.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Cotswold Scullery in Stow-on-the-Wold was tired of their old plates chipping constantly during busy weekend services, making their tables look inconsistent. They needed a durable solution that didn't compromise on their classic, rustic aesthetic.

"We needed tableware that looked refined but could handle the pressure. The Olympia plates have been brilliant – they still look brand new after months of heavy use, and  the wide rim makes our plating look so much more professional."

David Chen – Head Chef

By switching to the Olympia CB479 plates, the Scullery has cut its quarterly crockery replacement costs by over 60%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give new plates a thorough wash before their first use to remove any dust from the factory or warehouse.
  • When stacking, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift them straight up and  down to prevent scratching the glaze.
  • Ensure your dishwasher racks are correctly spaced to prevent plates from knocking together during the wash cycle.
  • Check that the size fits comfortably in your plate warmers and  storage shelves before putting a full order into circulation.

Keeping It Going

  • To remove stubborn metal marks from cutlery over time, use a non-abrasive, specialised porcelain cleaner.
  • While incredibly durable, always avoid dropping them or hitting them against hard surfaces to maximise their lifespan.
  • Remember the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty covers the rim, so your staff can handle them with confidence during service.
  • Regularly check and  clean your commercial dishwasher filters to prevent old food particles from being baked onto the plates.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Restaurant Plates

Not sure which crockery is right for your venue? Here are a few things to consider before you decide.

Consider Your Clientele

Fine dining venues might opt for delicate bone china, while a bustling cafe or gastropub needs robust, vitrified porcelain like this.

Size and  Shape Matter

Think about your portion sizes and  menu style. These 202mm wide rimmed plates are ideal for starters or desserts, but you might need larger for mains.

Colour and  Style

White is a timeless classic that makes food pop. Coloured or patterned plates can add character but may date more quickly or clash with certain dishes.

Durability vs. Cost

Cheaper plates might save money upfront but cost more in replacements. Look for features like vitrification and  chip warranties for better long-term value.

Practicality in Service

Are they stackable? Are they safe for the oven, microwave, and  dishwasher? These practical points are vital for a smooth and  efficient service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates sold individually?

A: These Olympia CB479 plates are supplied in a convenient and  cost-effective box of 12.

Q: What exactly does 'vitrified' mean?

A: It means the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous. This prevents it from absorbing water or odours and  gives it superior strength.

Q: Can I use metal cutlery on these plates without them scratching?

A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed for commercial restaurant use with standard cutlery. Over time, minor metal marks can be removed with a porcelain cleaner.

Q: What is covered by the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty?

A: This is Olympia's guarantee to replace any plate that chips on its rim during normal food service use, offering fantastic long-term value.

Q: Is the rim completely flat or sloped?

A: The wide rim has a classic, gentle slope designed to elegantly frame the food presented in the centre of the plate.

Q: How heavy is an individual plate?

A: The total box weight is 5.15kg for 12 plates, making each individual plate approximately 430g, giving it a solid, quality feel.

Q: Is the white a brilliant white or more of a cream colour?

A: It is a sophisticated, clean white colourway, specifically chosen to complement vibrant food colours without appearing too stark or clinical.

Q: Do these match other items in the Olympia Whiteware collection?

A: Yes, these plates are part of the extensive Olympia Whiteware collection, allowing you to build a consistent and  professional tableware set across your entire service.

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

You'll see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what is it? Think of it like turning regular pottery into superhero pottery. The porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, which makes it non-porous. This means it won't absorb water, grease, or odours, so it stays hygienic and  won't get those nasty grey marks from cutlery. It’s also what gives these plates their incredible strength and  resistance to thermal shock – going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf without a problem. Essentially, it's the secret ingredient that makes them last so much longer in a busy commercial environment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for serving main courses with a touch of class that stands up to constant daily use.
  • Hotels & Function Venues: An excellent choice for room service, banquets, and  breakfast service, offering uniform elegance and  durability.
  • Colleges & Upscale Canteens: A durable and  professional upgrade from standard crockery, ideal for high-volume but quality-focused dining halls.
  • Gastropubs & Wine Bars: Ideal for plating up hearty pub classics or stylish bar snacks where presentation matters.
