Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grove Bistro in Harrogate was looking to refresh its image. Their fantastic, locally-sourced menu felt let down by their dated, generic white tableware. They needed something that reflected their commitment to quality and rustic charm.
"We wanted our plates to be part of the story, not just a carrier for the food. The Olympia Canvas plates have this incredible, tactile quality. Our customers notice it, and it makes the whole meal feel more premium. They're tough as old boots, too!"
Robert Finch – Owner, The Grove Bistro
Since introducing the new professional tableware 250mm, the bistro has seen a 25% increase in social media tags from customers sharing photos of their meals.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before first use.
- The unglazed foot provides grip but check it's smooth to avoid marking delicate surfaces.
Keeping It Going
- Stack carefully using felt dividers if possible to protect the glazed surface over the long term.
- While oven-safe, avoid extreme temperature changes (thermal shock), like moving a plate from a hot oven to a cold surface.
- These plates are fully vitrified, making them perfect for the rigours of commercial dishwashing.
- Rinse off acidic foods like lemon or vinegar soon after service to best maintain the glaze's integrity.

Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? Think of it like a special recipe used during the firing process in the kiln. Minerals and other elements in the glaze react to the intense heat, creating unique patterns, colours, and textures as the plate bakes. It’s a bit like the way no two pieces of wood have the same grain, or no two stones have the same pattern. This process ensures that every wheat porcelain flat plate you receive has its own subtle character. It’s not a flaw; it’s a feature that brings an authentic, handcrafted feel to your tables, which is impossible to achieve with standard, uniform tableware.
