Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth was looking to create a more consistent and  upscale presentation for their popular seafood platters and  side dishes. They replaced their mismatched collection of bowls with the Olympia P185 oval platter.

"These dishes have tidied up our presentation massively. They look so clean and  professional on the table, and  the two compartments are fantastic for separating sauces or serving 'surf and  turf' style appetisers. Our staff love how easily they stack, too."

Robert Davies – Restaurant Manager

The switch streamlined their plating process during busy shifts and  contributed to a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully inspect each dish for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Before the first use, wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • Ensure dishes are completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture being trapped between them.

Keeping It Going

  • This dish is fully vitrified and  safe for use in a commercial dishwasher.
  • To maintain the polished glaze, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals.
  • While durable, always handle porcelain with care to prevent chipping against hard surfaces.
  • The dish can be safely warmed in a plate warmer or under heat lamps before service.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serveware

Not sure which dishes are right for your establishment? Here are a few things to think about when choosing commercial porcelain serveware.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic for a reason: it's durable, non-porous, and  retains heat well, keeping food warmer for longer on its way to the table.

Size and  Capacity

Think about your typical portion sizes. This 10 inch white serving dish is ideal for shared sides for two people or a generous single portion.

Colour and  Style

White is the ultimate blank canvas. It makes the colours of your food pop and  matches any decor, from rustic country pubs to modern city bistros.

Stackability is Key

In any commercial kitchen, space is gold. Always look for serveware that stacks neatly and  safely to make the most of your storage area.

Versatility Equals Value

Can the dish be used for appetisers, sides, and  desserts? A versatile piece like this P185 oval platter offers much better long-term value.

Why Dual Compartments Make a Big Difference

It might seem like a small detail, but the twin-section design of this porcelain vegetable serving dish is a secret weapon for better food presentation. It solves the age-old problem of keeping 'wet' and  'dry' foods separate on one plate, ensuring flavours and  textures remain exactly as the chef intended. Think of it like a bento box for your side dishes; it keeps your perfectly crisp roast potatoes from getting soggy from the gravy, or a delicate sauce from overwhelming a fresh salad. It’s a simple feature that gives you more control, prevents flavours from mingling, and  ultimately delivers a more thoughtful and  enjoyable dining experience for your customers.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for serving shared vegetable medleys or sides like rice and  curry with professional flair.
  • Hotels & Function Venues: An elegant and  durable choice for buffet lines, room service trays, and  event catering.
  • Event Caterers: Lightweight and  stackable, making it ideal for transporting to and  from different venues with ease.
  • Gastropubs: The perfect way to elevate the presentation of classic pub sides, from mushy peas to onion rings.
