Product Overview

Thinking of adding a dash of retro cool to your food service? Meet the Olympia GM513 enamel soup plate. This isn't just any bowl; it's a slice of classic design, bringing the timeless appeal of blue and  white enamelware right to your customers' tables. With its generous 245mm diameter and  deep profile, it’s built to serve up hearty portions with a side of authentic charm.

Perfectly suited for bustling gastropubs, rustic cafes, and  quirky bistros, this plate is crafted from tough enamelled steel.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Dog, a bustling seaside pub in Whitby, wanted to refresh their tableware. They were looking for something that could handle a busy service while reflecting their coastal, no-fuss identity, moving away from generic white plates.

"These bowls have been fantastic. They feel incredibly sturdy and  our customers constantly mention how much they love the classic look. It just fits the vibe of the place perfectly and  makes our seafood chowder look even better."

Michael Edwards – Owner

The switch has enhanced their table presentation, leading to a visible increase in user-generated photos on social media platforms, strengthening their brand's visual identity online.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the plates a thorough wash in hot, soapy water before their first use.
  • Check each plate for any dinks or damage that might have occurred in transit.
  • When stacking, consider using plate separators to minimise scuffs and  protect the finish.

Keeping It Going

  • These plates are dishwasher safe, but avoid harsh, abrasive detergents to prolong their life.
  • Don't panic about small chips! They are an expected part of the product's rustic charm.
  • To remove stubborn food, soak in warm water rather than using metal scourers or steel wool.
  • Remember the plate gets hot in the oven; always use oven gloves when handling.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Restaurant Enamel Soup Plates

Not sure if enamelware is the right fit for your business? Here are a few things to consider.

Check Your Portions

A 245mm bowl is generous. Ensure it suits your portion sizes and  fits comfortably on your tables and  in your dishwasher racks.

Match Your Atmosphere

Enamelware creates a relaxed, rustic, and  retro feel. It’s perfect for casual dining but might feel out of place in a formal fine-dining restaurant.

Embrace the 'Character'

These plates are designed to chip over time to build a vintage look. If you need 100% perfect, uniform crockery, porcelain may be a better option.

Think in Batches

These are sold in packs of 6. Calculate how many you'll need for your busiest service, always factoring in a few extra for backup.

Maximise Versatility

Being oven-safe means they are great for more than soup. Use them for individual shepherd's pies, fruit crumbles, or sizzling side dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates microwave safe?

A: No, absolutely not. As they are made of enamelled steel, they must never be used in a microwave.

Q: What does 'fused-glass coating' actually mean?

A: It means a layer of powdered glass has been melted and  bonded to the steel core, creating a single, durable, and  non-porous item.

Q: Can I really put these in a hot oven?

A: Yes, they are fully ovenproof, which makes them brilliant for any oven-to-table dishes like pies or bakes.

Q: What is the capacity of the Olympia GM513 deep soup bowl?

A: Each bowl has a generous capacity of approximately 490ml (or 17¼oz), perfect for hearty servings.

Q: Will the blue rim fade in the dishwasher?

A: No, the classic blue and  white design is fired on and  is very robust, designed to withstand repeated commercial dishwashing.

Q: What happens if it chips? Is it still safe to use?

A: Small, cosmetic chips to the enamel are part of the product's intended look. The steel underneath is safe, but you should discard any plate that has large chips or begins to rust.

Q: How heavy is an individual plate?

A: With a box of 6 weighing 1.9kg, each plate is approximately 316g, giving it a sturdy, high-quality feel without being too heavy.

Q: Is the 245mm measurement the inside or outside of the rim?

A: The 245mm measurement refers to the overall external diameter of the plate from rim to rim.

Why a Fused-Glass Coating is a Cut Above

Ever wondered what makes enamelware so tough? It's all down to the 'fused-glass coating'. This isn't just a layer of paint; it's powdered glass that has been melted at extremely high temperatures and  bonded directly onto the steel bowl. This process creates a single, incredibly resilient object.

Think of it like the protective shell on a tortoise. It’s not just sitting on top; it's an integral part of the whole structure. This non-porous shield makes the bowl highly resistant to chemicals, heat, and  stains. It's also why it's so easy to clean – there are no microscopic cracks for food or bacteria to hide in, which is a huge plus for hygiene in any professional kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Rustic Bistros & Cafes: Perfect for serving hearty soups, stews, and  signature pasta dishes with authentic charm.
  • Traditional Gastropubs: The ideal vessel for elevating classic pub grub like pies or chilli, adding a nostalgic touch.
  • Event Caterers & Food Trucks: A durable and  stylish option that travels well and  helps your food stand out from the crowd.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Ideal for showcasing homemade soups or for retailing as a stylish, desirable homeware item.
