Emily Hart – Tableware View Profile →

  • Built to Last: The vitrified body and  edge-chip warranty are genuinely reliable for busy service.
  • Classic Look: The traditional design may not suit very modern or rustic-themed establishments.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Mariner's Inn, a popular seaside pub in Whitby, was struggling with a mix of mismatched and  constantly chipping plates that looked unprofessional. They needed a full refresh with a durable, classic set of hotelware wide rim plates that could handle hundreds of covers a week.

"We were spending a small fortune replacing chipped crockery every quarter. Since switching to the Olympia CC208 plates six months ago, we haven't had a single chip. The presentation of our fish and  chips has improved, and  our pot wash team loves how tough they are."

Michael Davies – Owner

The switch resulted in a complete halt to their crockery replacement budget for two consecutive quarters, saving them an estimated 25% on annual operational costs.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully inspect all plates for any transit damage before use.
  • Give all plates a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher to remove any dust from manufacturing and  transport.
  • Seasoning is not required; they are ready for service immediately after the initial wash.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent scuffs, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift and  stack them carefully.
  • When loading into a dishwasher, ensure plates do not knock against each other to maximise their lifespan.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers like steel wool, which can damage the glazed surface over time.
  • Although durable, try to avoid extreme temperature changes, like taking a plate from the freezer directly to a hot oven.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Plates

Not sure what fits best for your establishment? Here are a few things to consider when choosing your next set of commercial plates.

Material Matters

Fully vitrified porcelain is the industry standard for a reason. It's far more durable and  hygienic than earthenware or standard ceramic, making it perfect for heavy use.

Look for Durability

Rolled edges and  an edge-chip warranty are key indicators of a plate designed for commercial life. They save you money and  hassle in the long run.

Size and  Shape

These 228mm wide rimmed dinner plates are perfect for main courses. The wide rim frames food beautifully and  helps prevent spills, but consider rimless coupe plates for a more modern look.

Check for Stackability

In a professional kitchen, space is always at a premium. Plates with a uniform, stackable design are essential for efficient storage and  access.

Match Your Aesthetic

While these classic white plates are incredibly versatile, consider how your crockery will complement your decor, brand, and  the style of food you serve.

Why 'Fully Vitrified' Porcelain is Your Secret Weapon

Ever wondered what 'fully vitrified' actually means? Think of it like turning regular pottery into superhero-pottery. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at incredibly high temperatures until the clay body becomes glass-like and  non-porous. This means there are no tiny holes for water, oil, or bacteria to seep into. So, unlike standard ceramic, it won't absorb odours or stains from strong foods like curries or bolognese.

This process is what makes these plates incredibly strong, resistant to the thermal shock of going from a hot oven to a cooler surface, and  gives them the confidence to carry a lifetime edge-chip warranty. It’s the difference between a plate that just looks good and  a plate that's built for the relentless demands of a commercial kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants: Perfect for plating main courses reliably, service after service, without fear of constant chipping.
  • Hotels & Guesthouses: An ideal choice for room service and  in-house dining, offering a professional and  uniform look.
  • Event Caterers: Durable, stackable, and  easy to transport, they withstand the rigours of mobile catering operations.
  • Gastro-Pubs: The classic design is perfect for presenting hearty, traditional pub fare with a touch of class.
