Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Inn, a popular seaside pub in Whitby, was constantly replacing its chipped and  mismatched crockery. They needed a durable, professional set of restaurant deep plates Olympia that could withstand a hectic tourist season.

"We switched to the Olympia CM188 plates six months ago, and  the difference is night and  day. They still look brand new despite going through the dishwasher multiple times a day. They feel sturdy, our food looks better on them, and  our staff have more confidence carrying them. A truly solid investment."

Robert Miller – General Manager

The pub has reduced its quarterly crockery replacement budget by over 60% and  received numerous positive comments from regulars on the improved presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully check each plate for any transit damage before the first use.
  • Give the plates a full cycle in the dishwasher to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and  packing.
  • Ensure your storage shelves are clean, dry, and  sturdy enough to handle the weight of stacked porcelain.

Keeping It Going

  • Stack plates of the same size together to prevent instability and  potential chipping. Avoid overly high stacks.
  • Scrape off excess food before loading into the dishwasher to ensure a perfect clean every time.
  • Although tough, avoid using metal scourers or highly abrasive detergents which can scratch the glaze over time.
  • To remove stubborn marks like metal-marking from cutlery, a gentle, non-abrasive cream cleaner is usually effective.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure which plates are the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your next set of commercial porcelain plates 200mm.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic choice for its strength and  refined look. It's less porous than earthenware, making it more durable and  resistant to staining for professional use.

Check for Durability

Look for features like 'rolled edges' and  'vitrified' bodies. These aren't just buzzwords; they signify a product designed to withstand knocks, scrapes, and  thermal shock from ovens and  dishwashers.

Think Versatility

Can the plates go in the oven, microwave, and  dishwasher? A 'yes' to all three saves you time, hassle, and  the need for separate cookware, streamlining your kitchen operation.

Style and  Shape

While a classic round, white plate is incredibly versatile, consider your menu. Deep plates are brilliant for dishes with sauce, while flat plates or coupe styles offer a more modern canvas.

Stackability is Key

In a commercial kitchen, space is always at a premium. Ensure your chosen crockery is designed to stack neatly and  safely, maximising your valuable storage space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates pure white or more of a cream colour?

A: They are a classic, bright 'brilliant white' porcelain, which provides a clean and  neutral backdrop for any type of food.

Q: What does 'deep plate' mean? Are they like a pasta bowl?

A: They are a hybrid between a standard plate and  a bowl. They have a wider rim than a typical pasta bowl but a deeper well than a flat plate, making them excellent for main courses with sauces or gravy.

Q: Can these really go straight from a hot oven to the table?

A: Yes, they are designed to be thermally resistant. However, always use appropriate protection like oven gloves, as the plate will be extremely hot.

Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty actually cover?

A: It covers chipping on the rolled edge of the plate during normal food service use. It's a testament to the product's durability and  quality manufacturing.

Q: Are the Olympia CM188 deep plates heavy?

A: They have a reassuring, professional weight due to the dense, vitrified porcelain. They are heavier than typical domestic plates but are well-balanced for carrying.

Q: What is the BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware Standard?

A: It's a British Standard that certifies the crockery meets specific levels of strength, water absorption, and  durability required for the hospitality industry.

Q: Is the glaze lead-free and  food-safe?

A: Absolutely. All professional-grade crockery sold for commercial use in the UK must meet strict food safety standards, and  this range is no exception.

Q: Can I buy these plates individually?

A: These plates are supplied in boxes of 6 to provide the best value and  ensure they are well-protected during transit to your business.

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

You see the term 'vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what does it really mean? Think of it like this: standard ceramic is a bit like a sponge. It has tiny, microscopic pores that can absorb water, oils, and  food particles over time. That's why old mugs get stained and  can sometimes retain odours. Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until it becomes glass-like and  non-porous. This means these Olympia plates have a super-hard, sealed surface that won't absorb anything. The practical upshot? They are far more resistant to stains, easier to clean, more hygienic, and  much, much stronger against chipping and  cracking. It’s the key difference between domestic tableware and true commercial-grade crockery.
