Expert Review and  Insights

The Olympia U820 jug is a prime example of doing the simple things exceptionally well. It doesn't shout for attention, but its performance speaks volumes.

  • Best Feature: Its vitrified build is genuinely tough, a must-have for high-turnover establishments.
  • Consideration: The classic design might be too traditional for highly stylised or modern venues.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Willow Tea Room in Harrogate was struggling with a mismatched collection of jugs that were constantly chipping. They needed a uniform and  durable solution that matched their classic, elegant aesthetic without breaking the budget.

"We were replacing jugs every other month. Since we switched to the Olympia U820, our tables look so much smarter and  we haven't had a single chip or break in six months. They just handle the constant use and  washing cycles beautifully."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Willow Tea Room

The switch resulted in a 100% reduction in crockery replacement costs for milk jugs over the first six months and  a noticeable improvement in table presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unbox and  inspect each jug for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Before the first use, we recommend running them through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher.
  • Designate a specific, safe storage area where they can be stacked carefully to protect spouts and  handles.

Keeping It Going

  • These jugs are fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze.
  • To maintain the pristine glaze, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals.
  • Stack with care, avoiding direct contact between the spout of one jug and  the body of another.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or cracks; while tough, no crockery is indestructible.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Crockery

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the best tableware for your business.

Check the Material

Porcelain is a classic choice for its looks, but 'vitrified' porcelain is the professional standard. It's far stronger, less porous, and  built for commercial wear and  tear.

Consider Capacity

Think about your portion control. A 212ml jug is ideal for milk for two, or a generous single serving of cream or custard. Standardising sizes ensures consistency.

Prioritise Versatility

Can it go in the oven, microwave, and  freezer? A jug that can do it all, like this one, saves you needing multiple types of dishes and  streamlines your operation.

Think About Storage

Look for items that are designed to be stored easily. While these jugs don't 'nest' perfectly, their robust build and  stable base make them simple to store on shelves.

Match Your Style

A simple, clean whiteware milk jug 212ml like this is a safe bet. It fits with any decor, from rustic to modern, and  lets the quality of your food and  drink shine.

Why a 'Vitrified' Glaze is Your Secret Weapon

Ever wondered what 'fully-vitrified' actually means? Think of it as giving porcelain superpowers for your restaurant. During manufacturing, the jug is fired at an incredibly high temperature until the clay becomes glassy and  non-porous. It's like the difference between a sponge and  a marble. A normal plate might absorb tiny amounts of water, oils, and  odours over time, leading to stains and  weakness. But this Olympia porcelain cream jug is like a sealed fortress. It won't absorb a thing, meaning it's more hygienic, resistant to stains from coffee or sauces, and  far less likely to crack when going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf. This is the feature that ensures it lasts years, not months.
