Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tea Room in Bakewell, Derbyshire, was looking to replace its mismatched and  frequently chipped serving plates to create a more cohesive and  professional look for its popular afternoon tea service.

"We serve dozens of afternoon teas a day, and  our old plates just weren't up to the job. We needed something that looked elegant but could withstand constant use and  washing. The Olympia rectangular platters were the perfect solution."

Eleanor Vance – Owner

Since the switch, the tea room has seen a 90% reduction in breakages and  chipping, significantly lowering their annual tableware replacement budget.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wash thoroughly with a non-abrasive detergent before the first use.
  • Inspect each platter upon delivery to ensure there's no damage from transit.
  • Designate a dry, stable, and  easily accessible shelf for storage.

Keeping It Going

  • To avoid scratches, try not to slide plates over each other; lift and  stack instead.
  • While extremely durable, avoid using metal scourers which can damage the glaze over time.
  • Safe for all commercial dishwashers, but ensure a proper rinse cycle to prevent detergent build-up.
  • The rolled edges are tough, but avoid knocking them directly on hard surfaces.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what fits best? Let's break down the key things to look for when choosing professional plates.

Material Matters

Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures than stoneware, making it tougher and  non-porous. For a busy restaurant, vitrified porcelain is the gold standard for durability.

Shape & Size

Rectangular plates like this commercial rectangular serving plate are great for breaking up the monotony of round tableware and  can be more space-efficient on the table for sharing dishes.

Edge Strength

Look for 'rolled edges'. This slight reinforcement is a simple feature that dramatically reduces the likelihood of chipping, which is the most common form of damage.

Consider Your Menu

A simple white plate is the most versatile canvas. It works for colourful salads, dark, rich stews, and  elegant desserts without ever clashing with the food.

Check for Stackability

An absolute must for any commercial kitchen. Well-designed stackable plates save a huge amount of space and  reduce the risk of storage mishaps.

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

You'll see 'Super Vitrified' on a lot of professional tableware, but what is it? Think of it as porcelain that's been to the gym and  come back stronger. During manufacturing, the platter is fired at an incredibly high temperature. This process melts the material into a single, solid, glass-like state, removing any tiny pores or gaps. For you, this means it’s much less likely to absorb water, food particles, or bacteria, making it more hygienic and  resistant to staining. It’s also what gives the Olympia white ceramic platter its impressive strength against thermal shock (going from hot to cold) and  the inevitable bumps and  knocks of a busy service. It’s the science behind a plate that lasts.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bistros & Gastropubs: Ideal for serving up hearty sharing boards, fish and  chips, or a Sunday roast for two.
  • Hotel Restaurants: A superb choice for everything from the breakfast buffet line to in-room dining service.
  • Event Caterers: Its stackable nature and  extreme durability make it perfect for weddings and  corporate functions.
  • High-End Cafés: Perfect for presenting afternoon tea spreads, sandwiches, or a selection of pastries in style.
