Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Tea Room in Harrogate wanted to refresh its dessert presentation to better match its modern, floral-themed decor, moving away from plain white ramekins that felt dated.
"These mint cups were exactly what we were looking for. They make our lemon possets and chocolate fondants look incredible. Our customers constantly comment on how lovely they are, and they’ve survived our dishwasher and daily use without a single mark on them. A brilliant bit of kit."
Eleanor Vance – Owner
The update contributed to a 15% increase in dessert orders in the first quarter of use, as customers were more tempted by the vibrant presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give your new cups a thorough wash before their first use to remove any dust from packing and transit.
- Their uniform size makes them perfect for pre-portioning desserts before a busy service, helping you stay organised.
- When stacking, ensure they are completely dry to prevent a vacuum seal from forming between them.
- While oven-safe, it's best practice to avoid extreme thermal shock, like moving directly from a freezer to a hot oven.
Keeping It Going
- These cups are fully commercial dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and hygienic.
- The non-porous vitrified finish is highly resistant to staining from colourful ingredients like berries or sauces.
- To maintain standards, give each cup a quick visual check for any damage before use.
- The rolled edges are strengthened for durability, but try to avoid dropping them on hard surfaces to ensure a long life.

The Olympia Promise: Style Meets Stamina
Choosing tableware often feels like a compromise between looks and longevity. Olympia has built its reputation on eliminating that choice. These mint green fondant cups are a perfect example of the brand’s philosophy: create products that look fantastic on the table but are engineered for the harsh realities of a commercial kitchen. This isn't just about surviving the dishwasher; it’s about enduring the knocks, scrapes, and high-turnover environment of a busy service, day in, day out. The investment in vitrified porcelain and strengthened edges translates directly into lower replacement costs and greater consistency for your business. When you choose Olympia, you're not just buying a cup; you're investing in the peace of mind that comes from knowing your equipment is as reliable and hardworking as your team.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified Hotelware' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
Ever wondered what makes some crockery tougher than others? It often comes down to vitrification, the secret behind the BS4034 Hotelware Standard. During manufacturing, these porcelain cups are fired at an extremely high temperature, which causes the clay and feldspar within to fuse and turn into a non-porous, glass-like material. It's not just a surface glaze; the entire body of the cup becomes incredibly dense and strong.
Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a glass marble. A sponge soaks up everything, but a marble is impermeable. Because these cups are vitrified, they won't absorb moisture, flavours, or odours from food. This means last night's garlic-baked starter won't leave a ghost of its flavour in today's delicate panna cotta. It also makes them far more resistant to the chips and cracks that come from the daily knocks of a professional kitchen, saving you money on replacements in the long run.
Who Should Buy This?
- Gastropubs & Bistros: Perfect for elevating classic desserts like sticky toffee pudding or a modern crème brûlée with a splash of colour.
- Artisan Cafés: An ideal way to serve individual baked eggs for brunch or showcase your signature 230ml mint pudding cups.
