  • First Impressions: The unique shape and  rich colour immediately impress diners.
  • Storage Space: The unconventional shape can be a bit trickier to stack than round plates.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salted Quay, a bustling seaside bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, wanted to move away from plain white crockery to better reflect their coastal location and  creative, locally-sourced menu.

"Our food is all about fresh, local ingredients, and  we needed plates that told the same story. The Olympia Kiln plates feel special, and  our customers constantly comment on them. They just make everything look better and  more considered."

Marcus Bell – Owner & Head Chef

The team noticed the new tableware contributed to a 15% increase in dessert sales, as the stunning visual appeal made them more tempting to diners browsing the menu.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unbox and  inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Before their first use, give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher to remove any dust.
  • For serving very hot food, you can gently pre-warm the plates to help maintain food temperature.

Keeping It Going

  • These plates are tough, but avoid sudden and  extreme temperature changes (like moving from a freezer to a hot oven).
  • When stacking, be mindful of the triangular shape. If stacking high, consider plate separators to protect the glaze.
  • Always use a non-abrasive detergent in your dishwasher to keep the beautiful blue glaze vibrant.
  • The lifetime edge-chip warranty gives you peace of mind, so you can use them with confidence every service.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Struggling to find the perfect plates for your establishment? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic for a reason: it's elegant and  non-porous. Vitrified porcelain, like this, is even tougher as it's fired at higher temperatures, making it ideal for commercial use.

Durability is Key

Look for features like an edge-chip warranty and  compliance with standards like BS4034. It’s a sign that the manufacturer stands by their product's ability to withstand a busy kitchen.

Match Your Brand's Style

Your tableware is part of your brand identity. A rustic pub might choose earthy tones, while a modern bistro might opt for a unique shape and  bold colour like this blue ceramic side plate for restaurants.

Consider Size and  Shape

Think about your menu. Are you serving delicate appetisers, hearty sides, or sharable tapas? The size and  shape of your plate should complement the food you serve.

Look for a Trusted Brand

Brands like Olympia have a long-standing reputation in the hospitality industry for creating products that are designed with professional chefs and  restaurateurs in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates safe to use in a commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed to withstand the rigours of daily use in a commercial dishwasher.

Q: Is every single plate identical?

A: No. Thanks to the reactive glaze finish, each plate has its own unique pattern and  character, while still maintaining the same core colour and  shape.

Q: What does 'fully vitrified' mean?

A: Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, much stronger, and  more resistant to chipping and  staining.

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

A: It covers chipping on the rim of the plate during normal food service use, offering a guarantee of its durability.

Q: Can I use the Olympia GP342 side plate in a microwave?

A: Yes, these plates are microwave safe, making them versatile for reheating or warming.

Q: How many plates come in one box?

A: These are sold in a box of 6 plates.

A: The plate has a diameter of 230mm, or 9 inches.

What is a 'Reactive Glaze' and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered how each of these plates gets its unique, mottled pattern? It’s all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Before being fired in the kiln, the glaze is infused with special minerals. As the plate is heated to extreme temperatures, these minerals react in unpredictable ways, creating one-of-a-kind swirls and  patterns. Think of it like a natural process, such as how every seashell on a beach has a slightly different pattern. This means you get a cohesive, matching set of the Olympia ocean blue crockery where every single piece is also an individual work of art.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Seafood Restaurants: An absolutely perfect canvas for presenting fresh oysters, seared scallops, or a signature fishcake.
  • Boutique Hotels: Elevate your in-room dining and  restaurant service with distinctive, high-end crockery that guests will remember.
  • Fine Dining Bistros: The ideal size and  shape for framing creative starters, artisan breads, or decadent desserts.
  • Artisan Cafés: A beautiful backdrop that makes your finest pastries, cakes, and  signature bakes look even more delicious.
