Product Overview

With its classic white face and  crisp blue rim, it’s a nod to traditional design, but built with all the resilience today’s busy catering environments demand.

Perfect for gastropubs serving hearty pies, trendy cafes plating up vibrant brunch dishes, or outdoor caterers needing stylish yet unbreakable options.

Enamelware's comeback is no surprise. It has that brilliant, tactile quality that you just don't get from plastic or standard ceramics. This Olympia GM512 enamel plate range perfectly captures the retro vibe without feeling flimsy. It’s tough enough for a high-turnover bistro but has enough style for a gastropub. A genuinely smart choice for adding durable character to your service.

  • Pros: Exceptionally resilient to chips and  scratches in a busy environment.
  • Cons: Can get quite hot, so staff should handle with care.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Pilchard's Rest, a bustling seaside café in Whitby, needed to replace their constantly chipping ceramic plates with something more resilient for the tourist season.

"We were going through plates like there was no tomorrow. The cost was adding up and  it looked unprofessional. We switched to this Olympia restaurant enamel dinnerware and  the difference is night and  day. They look the part and  they just don't break."

David Chen – Owner

The switch resulted in a 70% reduction in crockery replacement costs in the first six months and  fewer complaints about chipped tableware.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, unpack and  inspect each plate for any transit damage.
  • Give them a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or a quick dishwasher cycle before their first use.
  • When stacking, try not to slide them over each other; lift and  place them to best protect the rims.

Keeping It Going

  • These plates are fully dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
  • To maintain the smooth finish, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh powders.
  • Important: Enamel on steel is not suitable for microwave use.
  • If a chip occurs on the rim, dry the plate thoroughly after washing to prevent any rust from forming on the exposed steel.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure which plates are the best fit for your business? Here are a few tips to guide your decision.

Match Your Vibe

Your tableware is a key part of your brand's story. Whether you're rustic, modern, or fine dining, choose a style that complements your decor and  food.

Durability is Key

Consider your daily usage. Porcelain is classic, but materials like enamelled steel or stoneware are built to handle more knocks and  bumps in a busy kitchen.

Size and  Shape Matter

Think about your portion sizes and  dishwasher racks. Does a wide rim add a touch of class, or does it just take up valuable space on the table?

Check the Stackability

Space is always at a premium. Check how neatly your chosen plates stack – a good, stable stack saves shelf space and  reduces the risk of chipping.

Think About Weight

Heavier plates can feel more premium to the customer, but remember your staff! Lighter plates are much easier and  safer to carry in large stacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates genuinely ovenproof?

A: Yes, the enamelled steel construction is designed to be completely oven safe, making it perfect for 'oven-to-table' dishes.

Q: Can I put this enamel dinner plate 245mm in the microwave?

A: No. The plate has a steel core, and  metal should never be placed in a microwave.

Q: What happens if the enamel chips?

A: The plate remains perfectly usable. Chips are often seen as adding to the rustic character. Just be sure to dry it properly after washing to protect the exposed steel.

Q: Is the blue rim painted on?

A: No, it's part of the same fused-glass enamel process, ensuring it won't flake or peel off with use.

Q: How do they hold up in a commercial dishwasher?

A: They are designed for commercial dishwashers. The fused-glass coating is extremely durable and  resistant to the high temperatures and  detergents used.

Q: Can you cut food on them with a steak knife?

A: Yes, you can. While aggressive cutting might leave superficial marks over time, the surface is very tough and  designed for restaurant use.

Q: Is the 245mm an exact measurement of the entire plate?

A: Yes, 245mm (or 9 5/8 inches) is the overall diameter of the plate from rim to rim.

Q: Are they heavy?

A: No, they are surprisingly lightweight compared to stoneware or thick porcelain of a similar size, making them easier for staff to handle.

Why a Fused-Glass Coating is Superior

Ever wondered what makes enamelware so tough? It's all in the 'fused-glass' coating. This isn't just a layer of paint; it's powdered glass that has been melted and  permanently fused to the steel core at incredibly high temperatures. Think of it like the hard, glassy surface of an old-fashioned bathtub. This process creates a completely non-porous, seamless finish. For your kitchen, this means food, grease, and  strong flavours like garlic or curry can't seep in or leave a stain. It makes cleaning a breeze and  ensures a more hygienic surface, wash after wash.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Bars: Ideal for serving hearty, rustic meals like pies, burgers, or fish and  chips with an authentic flair.
  • Trendy Cafés: Perfect for plating up photogenic brunch dishes and  speciality cakes, adding to a cool, retro aesthetic.
  • Mobile & Outdoor Caterers: A lightweight and  virtually unbreakable option that travels well and  looks great for any event or food truck.
  • Workplace & School Canteens: A durable, easy-to-clean choice for high-volume service that needs to withstand constant, heavy use.
