Olympia's U169 range is a fantastic sweet spot between contemporary design and  classic functionality.

  • Practical Style: The rounded corners look great and  are less prone to chipping than sharp edges.
  • Heavier Feel: Being fully vitrified, they are noticeably heavier than standard earthenware plates.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rose & Crown in Canterbury, Kent, decided their traditional round crockery no longer matched their ambitious, modern British menu and  was costing them a fortune in replacements due to constant chipping.

"We were tired of our tables looking inconsistent due to chipped and  worn plates. Switching to the Olympia U169 plates has been brilliant. They look sharp, they're incredibly tough, and  our customers have noticed the step up in quality. The edge-chip warranty sealed the deal for us."

Robert Miller – General Manager

After switching, the pub reported an 80% reduction in crockery breakages and  replacements within the first year, significantly improving their operational budget.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before their first service, wash all plates in a commercial dishwasher to ensure they are perfectly clean and  sanitised.
  • When stacking, place plates down gently rather than sliding them across each other to maintain the pristine glaze.
  • Ensure your storage shelving is level, clean, and  can comfortably bear the weight of multiple stacks of porcelain.

Keeping It Going

  • Although dishwasher safe, pre-scraping food scraps helps maintain the efficiency of your machine and  prevents redeposits.
  • To remove stubborn cutlery marks, a simple rub with a non-abrasive cream cleaner can restore the original finish.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers or steel wool, which can damage the glaze over time. Stick to soft cloths or sponges.
  • Regularly inspect plates for damage, and  remember the lifetime edge-chip warranty is there to protect your investment.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what crockery fits best for your setup? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Size & Use Case

Match plate size to your menu. These 185mm plates are ideal for starters, sides, and  desserts. For main courses, you'll need a larger diameter.

Material Matters

For commercial use, fully vitrified porcelain is the gold standard. It’s non-porous (more hygienic) and  far more durable than standard earthenware.

Look for Durability Features

Features like rolled edges and  an edge-chip warranty are clear signs of a product built for professional life. They save you significant money in the long run.

Storage & Stacking

In any professional kitchen, space is a luxury. Always check that plates are designed to be stackable for neat, secure, and  space-efficient storage.

Consider the Aesthetic

Your tableware is a frame for your food. Classic white is a versatile choice that suits any decor and  makes colourful ingredients pop.

Check for Certification

The BS4034 kitemark is an assurance of quality, proving the tableware has been tested and  approved for the hotel and  catering industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: The plate measures 185mm, which is equivalent to 7 ¼ inches, making it a perfect size for starters or desserts.

Q: How does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty work?

A: It covers chipping on the rim of the plate that may occur during normal food service, preparation, and  washing.

Q: Are these Olympia rounded square dinner plates heavy?

A: As professional-grade vitrified porcelain, they have a reassuring weight which contributes to their durability, but may be heavier than domestic plates.

Why a 'Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty' Actually Matters

You often see 'warranties' and  'guarantees', but what does a lifetime edge-chip warranty mean for your business day-to-day? Think of it as insurance against the most common point of failure for any plate: the rim. In a fast-paced kitchen, plates are constantly being stacked, loaded into dishwashers, and  carried through bustling dining rooms. It's the edges that take the brunt of the impact. This warranty isn't just a marketing promise; it's a statement of confidence from the manufacturer in the plate's design and  material, specifically its rolled edges and  vitrified strength. It means if a chip occurs on the rim during normal use, it's covered. This drastically cuts down your long-term replacement costs and  ensures your tableware remains pristine and  professional for longer.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for presenting intricate starters or desserts where presentation is absolutely key to the guest experience.
  • Hotels and  Event Venues: An ideal choice for room service, banquets, and  conferences requiring smart and  highly durable tableware.
  • Artisan Cafés & Delis: Great for serving premium cakes, pastries, or light lunch bites on stylish, modern square restaurant dinnerware 185mm.
  • Professional Caterers: A reliable workhorse for events, thanks to their excellent stackability, chip resistance, and  versatile size.
