Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Fig, a popular farm-to-table bistro in Cheltenham, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their modern, natural culinary ethos. They moved from standard white plates to the Olympia Drift Grey commercial coupe plates to add more character to their presentation.
"The moment we started using these plates, the visual impact was immediate. The soft grey colour makes our ingredients look so much more vibrant, and our customers constantly comment on how lovely the tableware is. They just frame the food perfectly."
Laura Jennings – Owner & Head Chef
Following the switch, the bistro noted a 25% increase in food photos shared by customers on social media, significantly boosting their online visibility and appeal.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack carefully and inspect each plate for any transit damage before first use.
- Give the plates a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing.
- Stack them on a secure, level shelf, ensuring they are easily accessible for your kitchen team.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid thermal shock, do not take a plate from a hot dishwasher or oven and place it on a very cold or wet surface.
- Load into the dishwasher carefully, ensuring plates do not knock against each other.
- Ensure plates are completely dry before stacking, paying special attention to the unglazed foot.
- The Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty applies to chipping on the rim, so handle with normal care to maintain the plate's overall integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'vitrified' mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, incredibly strong, and resistant to thermal shock. This is essential for commercial use.
Q: Is the finish on every plate identical?
A: No. Due to the reactive glaze process, each plate will have slight, unique variations in its pattern and tone, which is a celebrated feature of the design.
Q: Can these plates go in a commercial microwave?
A: Yes, they are fully microwave-safe, adding to their versatility in a busy kitchen environment.
Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty cover?
A: It covers chipping to the rim of the plate under normal food service conditions. It's a guarantee of the product's durability where it's most vulnerable.
Q: Are these plates heavy?
A: They have a reassuring weight that signals quality to the diner without being too heavy for serving staff to carry comfortably. Each plate weighs just under 1kg.
Q: What is the benefit of a 'coupe' style plate?
A: The rimless design gives you more usable surface area and provides a modern, minimalist canvas that makes your food the star of the show.
Q: What is BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware Standard?
A: It's a British Standard that certifies a low level of water absorption, ensuring the tableware is hygienic and durable enough for the hospitality industry.
Q: How many plates are in one pack?
A: These are sold in a pack of four commercial coupe plates.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy a 'Reactive Glaze' Makes All The Difference
Ever wondered what gives these plates their unique, artisanal character? It's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard, uniform colour, a reactive glaze contains special elements that transform unpredictably in the heat of the kiln. This process creates subtle, one-of-a-kind patterns and variations in the colour and texture on each and every plate.
Think of it like the natural grain in a piece of oak or the veining in marble. While all the plates are from the same family, each has its own distinct personality. This gives you the beautiful, handcrafted look that customers love, but with the consistent quality, durability, and price of commercially produced porcelain. It's the secret to achieving an authentic, rustic feel without compromising on professional performance.
Who Should Buy This?
- Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for plating signature mains that deserve a sophisticated, contemporary backdrop to impress guests.
- Artisan Cafés & Bistros: The rustic charm elevates brunches, lunches, and specials, matching a fresh, high-quality menu.
- Boutique Hotels: Ideal for in-room dining or the hotel restaurant, adding a touch of class and durability.
- Gastro Pubs: A stylish upgrade for serving premium pub classics, enhancing the perceived value of the food.
