Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Chia range really taps into the current demand for rustic and authentic presentation. The reactive glaze gives each piece a bespoke quality that you'd typically find in much more expensive studio pottery. This green hue is particularly effective, providing a vibrant yet natural canvas that makes colourful ingredients pop. It's a smart choice for any venue wanting to elevate its tabletop without compromising on professional-grade durability.

- Pro: The unique finish and shape make dishes exceptionally photogenic for social media.
- Con: The glaze creates colour variations, so don't expect a perfectly uniform set.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling bistro in Bristol, wanted to refresh their tabletop to better reflect their modern, botanical-themed interior. Their plain white plates felt clinical and didn't do justice to their vibrant, plant-forward menu.
"These plates completely transformed our food presentation. We're a very visual brand, and the Chia plates look incredible on our Instagram feed. They just feel special, and our regulars noticed the upgrade immediately."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The bistro saw a notable increase in social media engagement, with customers frequently tagging them in photos specifically praising the new tableware.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack each box carefully upon arrival, checking every plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Before their first use, run the plates through a full cycle in a commercial dishwasher to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- When stacking for storage, be mindful of heights and consider using plate separators to protect the glaze on each piece.
Keeping It Going
- Always rinse off heavy food sauces and debris before loading the plates into your dishwasher for the best cleaning results.
- Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or sharp utensils to scrape the plates, as this can damage the beautiful glaze over time.
- Regularly check the edges for any chips – remember you're covered by Olympia's fantastic Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty!
- Handle with care to maintain the finish and ensure they look fantastic for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates genuinely safe for a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are made from vitrified porcelain and are designed to withstand the rigours of daily use in a busy commercial dishwasher.
Q: What does 'fully vitrified' actually mean?
A: It means the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, which closes all the pores in the material. This makes it much stronger, non-absorbent, and more hygienic than standard ceramic.
Q: Will every plate I order look exactly the same?
A: No. Due to the reactive glaze used, each plate will have its own unique pattern and slight variations in the green hue. This is a deliberate design feature that gives the range its artisan charm.
Q: How does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty work?
A: It is Olympia's promise to replace any plate from the collection that chips on the edge during normal food service use, for the entire life of the product.
Q: Can I use these plates to heat food in the microwave?
A: Yes, they are completely microwave-safe, making them versatile for kitchens that need to gently heat or reheat dishes before serving.
Q: What is the BS4034 certification?
A: This is a British Standard that certifies the crockery has a low water absorption rate and is durable enough for use in hotels, restaurants, and other demanding catering environments.
Q: Are other colours available in this Chia range?
A: Yes, to complement the green, the Chia collection is also available in beautiful Sand and Charcoal colours, which can be mixed and matched.
Q: What is the material? Is it stoneware or porcelain?
A: It is high-quality, fully vitrified porcelain, which gives it superior strength and durability compared to standard stoneware.

Olympia has built its reputation on perfectly balancing on-trend design with the non-negotiable need for durability in a professional kitchen. These plates aren't just designed to look good on day one, but to withstand hundreds of service and wash cycles without losing their charm.

This isn't just commercial green dinnerware; it's a long-term asset for your brand's presentation and operational budget. Opting for Olympia means fewer reorders due to breakages, consistent quality across your tables, and the crucial peace of mind that your equipment is as resilient as your team.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat is a Reactive Glaze (and Why Does It Matter)?
Ever wondered how some pottery gets that beautiful, unique, slightly varied look? Often, it's down to a reactive glaze. Unlike a standard, uniform glaze, a reactive glaze contains specific minerals that react to the intense heat of the kiln during firing. This reaction is slightly different every single time.
Think of it like a beautiful, natural chemical reaction frozen in time. Just as no two snowflakes are identical, the minerals in the glaze fuse and crystallize differently on each plate. This is what gives the Olympia green restaurant plates their unique patterns and subtle colour variations, creating a genuinely artisan feel without the artisan price tag. It’s a simple way to ensure your tableware looks hand-crafted and special, rather than mass-produced.
