Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular bistro in the heart of Chester, wanted to refresh its tableware to better reflect its modern British menu. Their old, plain white plates felt dated and didn't do justice to the chefs' carefully crafted dishes.
"We chose the Olympia Kiln plates for their stunning sandstone finish. As soon as we started using them, the feedback was incredible. Our food not only looks better, but our customers feel they're getting a more premium experience. They are incredibly durable too, which is a huge bonus for our busy kitchen."
Michael Edwards – Owner, The Copper Kettle
After the switch, the bistro noted a 25% increase in food photos shared by customers on social media, significantly boosting their online visibility.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the plates through a full wash cycle in your dishwasher to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Inspect each plate upon arrival to ensure they're perfect and ready for service.
- Brief your team on their new premium quality, reminding them to handle with care despite their durability.
- Plan your storage, ensuring shelves are clean and sturdy enough to handle the weight of stacked plates.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid scratches, try not to slide plates over one another when stacking; lift them instead.
- While dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals during any pre-rinse.
- Stack carefully, ensuring piles aren't too high to become unstable.
- Regularly check the edges for any potential damage, and remember you're covered by the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'fully vitrified' actually mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous and incredibly durable. It won't absorb water, grease, or odours and is much more resistant to chipping and thermal shock (sudden temperature changes).
Q: Is the sandstone finish on this kiln restaurant plate textured?
A: The reactive glaze gives it a very slight, smooth texture, but it is not rough or porous. It's a finish you can feel, adding to the artisan quality, but it's completely smooth for easy cleaning and food safety.
Q: Are these plates heavy?
A: They have a reassuring weight that signals quality, without being overly heavy for staff to carry multiple plates at once. The box of 6 weighs just under 4kg.
Q: Can I use steak knives on the Olympia 230mm kiln plate?
A: Yes, the glaze is incredibly hard-wearing and designed to withstand normal cutlery use, including steak knives, without scratching or marking.
Q: How do the plates stack?
A: They are designed to stack neatly and securely, which is essential for saving space in a professional kitchen environment.
Q: What is the benefit of a coupe plate design?
A: The rimless design provides a larger usable surface area for food presentation and offers a clean, modern aesthetic that is very popular in contemporary dining.
Q: Is every single plate really different?
A: Yes, due to the reactive glaze process, there will be subtle variations in the pattern and tone of each plate, which is a deliberate and desirable feature of the Kiln range.
Q: What does the BS4034 standard guarantee?
A: This is a British Hotelware Standard that certifies a low level of water absorption, which is crucial for hygiene and durability in a catering environment.
The Olympia Kiln Advantage: Artisan Looks, Workhorse Performance
Choosing Olympia Kiln isn't just about buying a plate; it's an investment in your restaurant's identity and operational efficiency. For years, Olympia has been a trusted name in professional kitchens, mastering the art of creating tableware that looks stunningly bespoke while secretly being tough as nails. The Kiln collection is the pinnacle of this philosophy. You get the warm, inviting appeal of hand-thrown pottery that customers love, but with the commercial-grade assurances you need. This means fewer replacements due to chips and cracks, consistent presentation day-in and day-out, and the peace of mind that comes from using products specifically engineered for the rigours of a busy service. It's the long-term value choice for businesses that refuse to compromise on either style or substance.
Explore more from Olympia KilnWhat Does 'Reactive Glaze' Really Mean for Your Restaurant?
Ever wondered why no two plates in the Olympia Kiln collection are exactly the same? It's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Think of it like a little bit of chemistry magic happening in the kiln. During firing, the special minerals in the glaze react to the intense heat, flowing and settling in a slightly different way on every single item. This process creates subtle, unique variations in colour, pattern, and texture across the surface.
So, instead of getting a batch of identical, factory-stamped plates, you get a set of crockery where each piece has its own individual character. It’s this quality that gives the sandstone finish restaurant plate its authentic, hand-crafted feel, adding a layer of depth and artistry to your tables that mass-produced items simply can't match. It’s an easy way to get a bespoke look without the bespoke price tag.
