Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rose & Crown, a historic pub in Stratford-upon-Avon, was struggling with a mismatched collection of side dishes that were constantly chipping. They needed a uniform, durable solution that matched their classic British aesthetic for their popular Sunday roasts.

"We switched to the Olympia W441 oval eared dishes six months ago, and  the difference is night and  day. They look fantastic, hold up brilliantly to our high-volume service and  industrial dishwasher, and  the eared handles are a small detail our staff really appreciate for safety."

Michael Edwards – General Manager

Since the switch, the pub has reported a significant drop in crockery breakage, effectively reducing their tableware replacement budget by over 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Unboxing and  First Use

  • Before first use, wash each dish thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
  • Carefully inspect each piece for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
  • Handle with care when unboxing; while durable, porcelain can break from a high drop onto a hard surface.

Keeping It Going

  • These dishes are fully commercial dishwasher safe for quick and  easy cleaning.
  • To prolong their pristine white finish, avoid using abrasive metal scourers which can cause surface scratches.
  • When stacking, avoid sliding dishes over one another; lift and  place them to prevent scuff marks.
  • For stubborn, baked-on food, pre-soak in warm water before placing in the dishwasher.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure what to look for in professional crockery? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose wisely for your business.

Material is Everything

Always opt for fully vitrified porcelain for front-of-house use. It offers the best resistance to chips, heat, and  stains, ensuring a longer lifespan.

Stackability is a Must

In a busy kitchen, space is gold. Look for tableware that stacks securely and  neatly to maximise your storage without risking topples and  breaks.

Check the Edges

Dishes with strengthened or 'rolled' edges, like this Olympia W441 oval dish, are far less likely to chip from everyday knocks and  handling.

The Versatility of White

A classic whiteware serving platter oval design is a smart investment. It fits any decor, makes food look more vibrant, and  is easy to replace.

Look for Standards

Certification like the BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware Standard isn't just jargon; it's your assurance that the product is built specifically for commercial use.

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

You see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it’s a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C) until the clay and  feldspar components literally fuse together and  become glass-like. This closes up all the tiny, natural pores in the clay.

Think of it like this: regular ceramic is like a sponge, whereas vitrified porcelain is like a solid block of glass. This means water, oils, and  food particles can't seep in. The result is a dish that's far stronger, won't absorb odours or flavours from previous meals, and  is much more hygienic as it leaves no place for bacteria to hide. It’s this process that gives the Olympia W441 its incredible resistance to heat, chips, and  the daily grind of a commercial kitchen.
