Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Inn in Porthleven, Cornwall needed to upgrade their tired, mismatched serving dishes to create a more cohesive and upmarket feel for their popular seafood menu.
"We wanted something that looked rustic and premium, but could also handle being dropped, stacked, and chucked in the dishwasher hundreds of times a week. These Olympia platters are brilliant – they look fantastic and are tough as old boots."
David Chen – Head Chef
The new presentation has led to a noticeable increase in social media shares of their food, enhancing their online presence and attracting new customers.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just Looks: Why a Hammered Finish is a Smart Choice
Ever wondered why so many professional kitchens favour a hammered finish on their metalware? It’s not just for that rustic, artisan charm. Think of it like the dimples on a golf ball. The uneven, textured surface scatters light, which brilliantly masks the minor scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints that are unavoidable in a busy service. A smooth, polished platter shows every single mark, meaning more polishing and a shorter 'perfect' lifespan. This hammered stainless steel platter, however, stays looking fantastic for longer, saving your team time and ensuring your presentation is always on point.
