Expert Review and  Insights

The Olympia CB493 plates strike that perfect balance between modern aesthetics and  practical, everyday toughness.

  • Presentation Perfect: The shape beautifully frames food, making mains look more structured and  appealing.
  • A Bit Weighty: Their sturdiness means they are noticeably heavier than standard round porcelain plates.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grove Brasserie in Bath decided to overhaul its entire tableware collection to match a new, locally-sourced seasonal menu. Their previous round plates felt dated and  were showing significant wear and  tear after years of service.

"Our new dishes are all about fresh, bold presentation, and  we needed plates that lived up to that. The Olympia squares look the part and, more importantly, they're tough enough to handle our busiest weekend services without a single chip in sight."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

The switch resulted in a noticeable uplift in social media shares from diners, with management reporting a 30% increase in food photos being tagged with the brasserie's location.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Always run the plates through a full wash cycle in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to ensure they are pristine.
  • Stack them on clean, dry, and  stable shelving. To protect the glaze, avoid scraping them against metal surfaces.
  • Ensure your shelving is strong enough to comfortably hold the full weight of multiple boxes of plates.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, pre-rinse or scrape plates to remove heavy food debris before loading into the dishwasher.
  • Use a plastic or rubber spatula to gently remove any stubborn, baked-on food; avoid using metal scourers.
  • The lifetime edge-chip warranty offers protection, but it's still good practice to handle plates with care to maximise their lifespan.
  • When stacking, ensure plates are aligned properly to prevent unnecessary stress on the edges.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Plates

Struggling to pick the perfect plate? Here are a few things every professional caterer should keep in mind.

Consider the Size

Match your plate size to your portion control strategy and  menu items. This 270mm size is a versatile all-rounder, perfect for main courses and  generous starters.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic for a reason: it's elegant and  clean. For professional use, always look for 'fully vitrified' porcelain, as it offers the best possible durability and  hygiene.

Shape and  Style

Round plates are traditional, but don't be afraid to experiment. These commercial square porcelain plates with rounded edges offer a modern look that can make your food presentation feel more deliberate and  high-end.

Stackability is Key

In any professional kitchen, storage space is gold dust. Always choose plates that are designed to stack neatly and  safely to maximise your shelf space and  prevent accidents.

Look for Durability Features

Features like rolled edges and  an edge-chip warranty aren't just marketing fluff. They are crucial indicators of a product built for the demands of a commercial environment and  can save you a fortune in replacement costs.

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

You'll see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of high-quality porcelain, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C!). This causes the clay and  feldspar within it to melt and  fuse together, creating a single, glass-like body.

Think of it like the difference between a terracotta plant pot and  a glass bottle. The pot is porous and  will soak up water, while the bottle is completely impermeable. Vitrification turns the entire plate into that impermeable, 'glass-like' state, not just the glazed surface. This is why it's so resistant to absorbing water, grease, or odours, making it far more hygienic, stain-resistant, and  dramatically stronger than standard, non-vitrified crockery.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: For presenting main courses or signature dishes with a contemporary, elegant feel that complements artistic plating.
  • Boutique Hotels: To enhance in-room dining or restaurant service, offering guests a premium, memorable experience.
  • Modern Bistros & Cafes: To elevate daily specials and  popular brunch menus on durable, stylish, and  practical tableware.
  • Event Caterers: For a versatile and  hardwearing plate that looks stunning on any wedding or corporate dining table.
