Expert Review and  Insights

Olympia has really hit the mark with the Kiln range. This ochre finish is warm, inviting, and  bang on trend. It has a reassuring weight without being clunky, and  the glaze makes food colours pop. It’s the kind of plate that feels special to eat from, elevating a simple dish into something much more impressive. A top choice for any venue wanting to make a statement.

  • Standout Finish: The reactive glaze is genuinely unique and  looks far more expensive than it is.
  • A Slight Consideration: The handmade feel means slight size and  finish variations, so they aren't perfectly uniform.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth, Cornwall, was looking to refresh its tableware to better reflect its modern, coastal-inspired menu. They needed plates that were as beautiful as their dishes but tough enough for a relentlessly busy summer season.

"These Olympia plates were exactly what we needed. The ochre colour echoes the Cornish sands, and  our food has never looked better. Customers constantly comment on them, and  they’ve survived a full season without a single chip. We’re absolutely chuffed."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since introducing the plates, the restaurant has seen a noticeable increase in social media shares of their dishes, directly contributing to a busier-than-ever service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • On arrival, check each plate for any transit damage before use.
  • Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle to remove any dust.
  • Ensure shelving is clean, dry, and  strong enough to hold the weight of the full pack.

Keeping It Going

  • These plates are fully dishwasher safe, so use a commercial machine for best results.
  • To avoid 'thermal shock' (cracking from sudden temperature changes), don't take a plate from a hot oven and  plunge it into cold water.
  • Stack them carefully to protect the glazed finish and  make the most of your storage space.
  • The Lifetime Edge-Chip warranty gives you peace of mind, but avoid using harsh metal scourers on the surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure which plates are right for your menu? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing tableware for your business.

Material Matters

Fully vitrified porcelain, like this, is non-porous and  incredibly durable, making it the gold standard for busy commercial environments.

Size and  Shape

Consider your portion sizes. A 260mm (10¼") plate is ideal for main courses, while a flat base gives you more freedom for creative plating.

Style and  Aesthetics

Your crockery is part of your brand. A unique finish like this reactive glaze helps you stand out and  enhances the perceived value of your food.

Check the Warranty

An edge-chip warranty is a sign of a manufacturer's confidence in their product's durability. It’s a huge plus for any busy kitchen.

Stackability

In a professional kitchen, space is always at a premium. Plates that stack neatly and  safely are an absolute must for efficient storage.

What Exactly is a 'Reactive Glaze'?

Ever wondered why no two of these plates look exactly the same? That’s the magic of a reactive glaze. Unlike a standard, uniform coating, a reactive glaze contains different elements that 'react' to the intense heat inside the kiln during firing. This process creates unique, flowing patterns and  subtle variations in colour and  texture across the surface of the plate.

Think of it a bit like painting with watercolours on wet paper – the colours bleed and  blend in a way you can guide but never perfectly replicate. The result is that every single plate has its own individual character, giving you a set of tableware that feels genuinely handmade and  artisanal, not like it just rolled off a production line.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Bistros & Gastropubs: Perfect for plating hearty mains and  signature dishes with a rustic, high-quality flair.
  • Fine Dining Restaurants: The unique, artisan finish provides a beautiful canvas that complements meticulously crafted food.
  • Artisan Coffee Shops: Ideal for serving premium brunch dishes or main lunches, matching a bespoke, quality aesthetic.
  • Boutique Hotels: Elevate the in-room dining or hotel restaurant experience with distinctive and  durable tableware.
