Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rose & Crown, a busy gastropub in Bakewell, Derbyshire, was struggling with a collection of mismatched and worn-out cutlery that was detracting from their carefully curated table presentation. They needed a full refresh with something durable, classic, and affordable.
"We serve hundreds of covers a week, and our cutlery was letting us down. The Olympia Baguette knives feel substantial, they look fantastic, and they've survived months of our commercial dishwasher without a single issue. Our staff and customers both love them."
Michael Davies – General Manager
Since the switch, the pub has eliminated cutlery breakages and reports a marked improvement in the overall presentation of their dining tables, reinforcing their quality food offering.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the knives thoroughly in warm, soapy water to remove any residual polishing compound from the manufacturing process.
- Dry them completely with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots and ensure they are ready for the table.
- Inspect each knife to ensure it meets your standards before placing it into service.
Keeping It Going
- Always rinse cutlery soon after use to prevent food acids from causing stains or pitting.
- When washing in a commercial dishwasher, use a dedicated cutlery basket to avoid scratching.
- Avoid using harsh scouring pads, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the polished finish.
- To maintain the best possible shine, ensure your dishwasher's rinse aid is topped up and dry the knives if they come out wet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these knives genuinely dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed for commercial dishwashing, but we recommend rinsing them first and drying them thoroughly to maintain their best appearance.
Q: What does the 'Baguette' style refer to?
A: 'Baguette' refers to the classic design, characterised by the clean, simple lines and the subtle ridge that runs down the centre of the rounded handle.
Q: Are these sold individually or in a set?
A: This product (SKU D595) is sold in a box containing 12 table knives.
Q: Is the blade serrated?
A: No, this is a classic table knife with a smooth, non-serrated blade, suitable for a wide variety of dishes.
Q: How do these compare to 18/10 stainless steel knives?
A: These 18/0 knives offer great durability and are magnetic, which is a bonus for bin systems. 18/10 has added nickel for extra rust resistance but is non-magnetic and costs more.
Q: What is the Olympia brand known for?
A: Olympia is a trusted name in the catering industry, known for producing reliable, functional, and affordable catering equipment and tableware for professional environments.
Q: Would these be suitable for a fine dining restaurant?
A: While they have a classic and professional look, they are primarily designed as high-quality workhorses for busy bistros, pubs, and restaurants. For Michelin-level fine dining, you might explore more premium ranges.
Q: Is there a matching fork and spoon in the Olympia Baguette range?
A: Yes, the Olympia Baguette collection includes a full range of matching cutlery, including forks, dessert spoons, and teaspoons, allowing you to create a fully coordinated table setting.
The Olympia Promise: Everyday Excellence on Your Table
When you choose Olympia, you're investing in more than just a box of knives; you're investing in peace of mind. For decades, Olympia has been a cornerstone brand in busy British kitchens and dining rooms, building a reputation for no-nonsense quality that catering professionals can depend on. The design philosophy is simple: create products that can withstand the demanding pace of a commercial environment without an extravagant price tag. This baguette table knife stainless steel model is a perfect example. It's not about fleeting trends; it's about providing long-term value through robust construction, timeless design, and practical features. This focus on real-world durability means fewer replacements, consistent presentation, and one less thing to worry about during a hectic service, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: your food and your customers.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat '18/0 Stainless Steel' Means for Your Business
Ever wondered what the numbers in '18/0 stainless steel' actually mean? It's simpler than it sounds and it directly impacts your kitchen's efficiency. The '18' refers to 18% chromium content, which is what gives the cutlery its shine and protection against corrosion and rust. The '0' refers to 0% nickel content. While nickel (found in 18/10 cutlery) adds an extra layer of rust resistance, its absence here makes the cutlery magnetic.
Think of it this way: a magnetic knife is like having a built-in safety net. If one accidentally gets thrown away with food scraps, it can be easily caught by a magnetic cutlery saver or chute over the bin. For a busy restaurant, this small feature can save you hundreds of pounds a year in replacement costs. So, 18/0 stainless steel offers the perfect blend of everyday durability, a brilliant finish, and a clever, money-saving advantage.
