Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Swan Inn, a bustling gastropub in Stratford-upon-Avon, needed a durable, oven-safe solution for their new menu of individual baked gratins and  fruit crumbles. Their existing tableware was prone to chipping and  couldn't go in the oven.

"These Olympia dishes are brilliant. They look the part on the table and  stand up to our hectic kitchen. Customers love getting their own personal crumble, and  it’s cut down our plating time significantly."

Robert Green – Head Chef, The Swan Inn

The switch streamlined their dessert service, allowing them to go straight from oven to table and  increasing plating speed by 25% during busy weekend shifts.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the dishes a good wash with hot, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle.
  • Check each dish for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping.
  • Brief your kitchen and  front-of-house teams on their oven-to-table properties and  stress using oven gloves.
  • When stacking, try to avoid direct edge-on-edge contact to minimise the risk of chipping.

Keeping It Going

  • Always rinse off any heavy food residue before loading into your commercial dishwasher.
  • To keep the glaze looking its best, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh steel wool.
  • Regularly check for any new chips or cracks and  remove any damaged items from service immediately.
  • For best results and  longevity, stack the dishes rim-to-rim and  base-to-base in storage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure which dish fits your menu? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose.

Material Matters

Porcelain like this offers a classic, clean look that suits any decor. For a more rustic feel, consider stoneware, but for all-round versatility and  durability, a white porcelain round eared dish is a safe bet.

Consider Capacity

Think carefully about your portion sizes. Is this for a small side, a generous starter, or a main course? Check the dimensions to ensure it matches what you plan to serve.

Durability is Key

In a commercial setting, things get dropped and  knocked. Look for features like a fully vitrified body and  strengthened or rolled edges, which are designed to withstand the rigours of a professional kitchen.

Check its Versatility

If you plan on baking and  serving in the same vessel, make sure your chosen dish is certified as oven, grill, and  microwave safe. This saves time and  washing up.

Think About Storage

Space is always at a premium. Check how well the items stack. A good, stable stack saves precious shelf space and  reduces the risk of breakages.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

You see 'fully vitrified' mentioned a lot with professional crockery, but what is it? In simple terms, it means the porcelain has been fired in the kiln at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C!) until the clay particles literally fuse together and  become glass-like and  non-porous. Think of the difference between a terracotta plant pot that soaks up water, and  a glazed coffee mug that doesn't. Vitrification makes the entire body of the dish like that mug, not just the shiny surface.

For your kitchen, this is a huge plus. It means the dish won't absorb moisture, flavours, or odours from food, which makes it far more hygienic and  prevents it from getting stained. It also makes it much stronger and  more resistant to 'thermal shock' – the cracking that can happen when temperatures change quickly. It’s this process that gives the Olympia W439 serving dish its professional-grade toughness.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Bistros: Perfect for serving signature individual pies, gratins, or premium sides straight from the oven.
  • Hotels & Event Caterers: Ideal for presenting consistent, elegant starters or desserts across multiple covers and  functions.
  • Cafés & Delis: A great choice for baking and  displaying single-portion lasagnes, crumbles, or hot counter specials.
  • Tapas Restaurants: Superb for serving hot, sizzling dishes like patatas bravas or chorizo al vino to the table.
