Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Pear, a popular farm-to-table restaurant in Frome, Somerset, was looking to refresh its tableware. Their old plates were constantly chipping and looked dated, failing to match the quality of their locally-sourced dishes.
"We needed something that looked the part but could survive our incredibly busy weekend services. The Olympia Denim bowls were perfect. They look fantastic, our customers have even commented on them, and we haven't had a single chip in six months. The texture just makes our vibrant salads and grain bowls pop."
Samuel Jones – Head Chef
By switching to the Olympia FU229 bowls, The Salted Pear eliminated the cost of replacing chipped plates and significantly enhanced its food presentation, leading to more positive customer feedback.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the bowls a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Inspect each bowl upon arrival to ensure they're all perfect and ready for service.
- Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf for your new stackable bowls to streamline service flow.
Keeping It Going
- Load into the dishwasher carefully, avoiding knocking them against other items to maximise their lifespan.
- Although highly durable, always handle with care to protect the lifetime edge-chip warranty.
- Regularly check for any signs of wear and tear, removing any compromised items from service immediately to maintain professional standards.
- The unglazed foot can be scrubbed if it picks up marks over time, keeping the base clean and non-slip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this bowl microwave safe?
A: Yes, being made from fully vitrified porcelain, these bowls are perfectly safe for use in a commercial microwave.
Q: What does 'coupe' style mean?
A: A coupe bowl has a shallow, rimless design, which offers a modern, minimalist look and makes it easy to eat from.
Q: Does the textured 'denim' finish trap food or stains?
A: Not at all. The glaze is smooth and non-porous, so the texture is purely visual and tactile. It cleans just as easily as standard smooth crockery.
Q: What is the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty?
A: This is Olympia's promise that if a chip occurs on the rim of the bowl during normal food service use, it may be eligible for a replacement, showcasing its durability.
Q: Are these suitable for serving hot soups and stews?
A: Absolutely. Vitrified porcelain has excellent thermal retention properties, helping to keep hot food at the right temperature for longer.
Q: Can I buy these bowls individually?
A: These Olympia FU229 commercial coupe bowls are sold as a catering coupe bowls 6 pack, which offers the best value for professional kitchens.
Q: What does BS4034 Certified mean?

Q: Is the unglazed foot rough enough to scratch tables?
A: No, the unglazed foot is polished to be smooth enough not to scratch surfaces, while still providing enough friction to prevent slipping.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?
Ever wondered what makes 'vitrified' crockery so special? Think of it like turning pottery into something as tough as glass. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature (over 1200°C!), which causes the clay body to fuse and become 'vitrified' – essentially, it becomes non-porous. This means it won't absorb water, oils, or odours from food, which prevents bacteria from growing and stops unsightly stains. It's this process that gives the Olympia FU229 white denim bowls their superb strength, chip resistance, and ability to handle the thermal shock of going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf without cracking. It’s the secret ingredient for tableware that lasts.
