Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Bridgeford Bistro in Bakewell, Peak District, wanted to enhance their popular afternoon tea service, moving away from standard, plain trays to something with more character. They chose the Olympia HY125 hammered stainless steel serving tray to add a touch of rustic elegance.
"The moment we started using these trays, the feedback was instant. Customers constantly comment on how lovely they look. They've genuinely elevated the entire experience, making our afternoon tea feel much more special and photogenic."
David Campbell – Manager
Since the switch, the bistro has noted a significant increase in social media tags from customers and reports that afternoon tea bookings have risen by over 15%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this hammered stainless steel serving tray fully dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed for professional use, so you can pop it in a commercial dishwasher for a quick and easy clean.
Q: Can I use this tray for serving very hot items directly from the oven?
A: It's designed for serving and presentation, not for cooking. We recommend transferring hot food onto a plate before placing it on the tray.
Q: How heavy is it? Is it easy for staff to carry?
A: It weighs just 760g, so it's surprisingly lightweight for its size and durability, making it easy for staff to handle during a long shift.
Q: Does the hammered finish scratch easily?
A: The finish is very durable and actually helps to hide minor scratches and scuffs from everyday use, keeping it looking better for longer than a plain polished tray.
Q: Will the stainless steel rust over time?
A: No, it's made from high-quality stainless steel which is specifically chosen for its excellent rust and corrosion resistance.
Q: Is the tray magnetic?
A: Yes, as it's made from a ferritic grade of stainless steel, it is magnetic, which can be useful for some types of storage systems.
Q: Can the trays be stacked without damaging each other?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable. We recommend stacking them carefully to best protect the polished rims over the long term.
Q: How many drinks can a 320mm stainless steel tray comfortably hold?
A: It can comfortably and safely hold about four to five standard-sized glasses, like pint glasses or highball tumblers.
The Olympia Standard: Presentation That Lasts
With any piece of catering equipment, the real test isn't how it looks on day one, but how it performs on day one hundred. This is where the Olympia brand truly shines. For years, they've built a reputation on creating products that fuse front-of-house aesthetics with uncompromising back-of-house durability. This commercial round serving tray is no exception. It’s more than just a piece of metal; it’s an investment in consistency and brand perception. Choosing Olympia means fewer replacements, less time spent polishing, and more time delighting customers. The robust construction ensures it won't warp or dent easily, while the timeless design means it won’t fall out of fashion. It’s a workhorse in a dinner jacket – a reliable, hard-wearing tool that helps you deliver impeccable service, day in, day out.

You might think the hammered finish on this service tray is just about looks, but it’s a clever bit of practical design. Think of it like this: a standard, mirror-polished tray is like a still lake – every single ripple (or in this case, smudge and tiny scratch) is immediately obvious. The hammered finish, however, is like a gently rippling stream. Its textured surface is made of dozens of small facets that break up and scatter light.
This does two things brilliantly. Firstly, it makes the food and drink you place on it look more vibrant and appealing. Secondly, it naturally camouflages the fingerprints, smudges, and minor scratches that are inevitable in a commercial setting. This means the tray looks pristine for longer, requiring less frantic polishing during a hectic service, and maintaining its high-end appearance night after night.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & B&Bs: Perfect for elevating your room service presentation or for serving welcome drinks in the lobby.
- Gastro Pubs & Restaurants: Ideal as a restaurant presentation tray for sharing starters, charcuterie boards, or dessert selections.
- Cocktail Bars & Lounges: A stylish and stable way to deliver rounds of drinks to tables without spills.
- Event Caterers: Adds a professional, high-end touch when serving canapés and appetisers at weddings and corporate functions.
