Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ship Inn, a popular seaside pub in Whitby, was looking for durable and stylish tableware to replace their constantly chipping ceramic ramekins.
"We were fed up with the cost and hassle of replacing broken pots. These Olympia stainless steel dip pots look fantastic, our customers love the hammered effect, and they're practically indestructible. A brilliant investment for a busy pub like ours."
Robert Miller – General Manager
This simple switch completely eliminated their budget for replacement ramekins and significantly improved their table presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the pots a quick wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Remember, being made of metal, these are not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
- Stack them neatly in a designated spot to keep your service area organised and ready for action.
Keeping It Going
- These pots are fully commercial dishwasher safe for a quick and hygienic clean.
- To prevent water spots and keep them gleaming, use a good quality rinse aid or dry with a microfibre cloth.
- For any stubborn, dried-on food, a short soak in warm water is all that's needed.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or steel wool, as this can damage the stylish hammered finish.

Ever wondered what gives these sauce pots their distinctive, shimmery look? It’s a ‘hammered’ finish, created by using a special tool to make tiny indentations across the stainless steel. But it’s not just for show. Think of it like the dimples on a golf ball; the textured surface cleverly helps to hide minor scuffs, smudges, and fingerprints that are inevitable in a busy restaurant. This means your hammered stainless steel sauce cups keep looking fantastic for longer, service after service, without needing constant polishing from your team.
