Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Meadow Pantry' in Shrewsbury was looking to upgrade its tableware to better reflect its fresh, locally-sourced menu, moving away from generic white plates.
"We wanted our plates to tell the same story as our food. The Olympia Kiln platters have this gorgeous, earthy feel that makes every dish look like a work of art. Our customers constantly comment on them and ask where they are from."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since the switch, their social media engagement on food photos has increased by over 30%, directly impacting bookings.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack each platter carefully, checking for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Before the first use, give them a thorough wash cycle in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with detergent.
- When stacking, do so with care. For long-term storage, consider using plate protectors to prevent scuffs on the glaze.
Keeping It Going
- These platters are fully commercial dishwasher safe for a quick and hygienic clean.
- Avoid using harsh, abrasive scouring pads or steel wool, as this can scratch the glazed surface over time.
- The vitrified body is incredibly tough, but it's still best to avoid severe thermal shock or hard knocks on worktops.
- To keep it looking its best, rinse off highly acidic foods (like tomato or lemon) soon after service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Olympia CP170 ceramic serving platter really suitable for a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, absolutely. It is designed and tested to withstand the rigours of daily use in commercial dishwashers, making cleanup quick and efficient.
Q: What exactly does 'reactive glaze' mean?
A: It’s a special glazing process where minerals react to heat during firing, creating a unique, slightly different pattern on every single platter. This ensures no two are exactly the same.
Q: Can I use this platter for serving hot food?
A: Yes. Being made from vitrified porcelain, it has excellent heat retention and thermal shock resistance. It's also completely microwave safe for reheating.
Q: How does the 'lifetime edge-chip warranty' work?
A: This is Olympia's guarantee that they will replace any piece that chips on the rim during normal food service use, giving you confidence in its durability.
Q: Is the surface porous? Will it stain with foods like beetroot or curry?
A: No, the high-quality glaze makes the surface non-porous. This means it won't absorb colours, strong flavours, or odours from food.
Q: How many platters are in one box?
A: These are supplied in a box containing 4 platters.
Q: What is the BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware Standard?
A: It's a British industry standard that certifies the platter has very low water absorption. This makes it incredibly strong, hygienic, and durable for professional kitchen and hotel use.
Q: Are the rims genuinely painted by hand?
A: Yes, they are. The rims are carefully hand-painted before the final firing process, which adds to the unique, artisanal quality of each individual piece.

Explore more from Olympia KilnWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered why no two platters in the Olympia Kiln range are identical? It's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Think of it less like a coat of paint and more like a chemistry experiment happening in the kiln. During firing, different minerals and elements within the glaze react to the intense heat, flowing and melting to create unique, organic patterns and subtle variations in colour. It’s similar to how natural stone is formed. This process ensures that your Olympia CP170 sandstone platter has its own distinct character, giving you an authentically handcrafted feel that a standard, uniform plate simply can't replicate.
