Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch Bistro in Cardiff was looking to move away from standard white crockery to create a more memorable and rustic dining atmosphere for their Mediterranean-inspired menu. They needed tableware that was both stylish and tough enough for a busy evening service.
"We introduced the Olympia HY111 hammered serving dish for our shared starters and signature sides. The customer feedback was immediate. People love the look and feel; they commented that it makes the food seem more special and authentic. They are also incredibly practical for our team to handle."
Michael Davies – Owner
Since making the switch, the bistro has noted a distinct increase in social media posts from customers tagging their location, specifically highlighting the attractive food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Setup
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before the first use to remove any residue from manufacturing.
- For serving hot food, you can gently pre-warm the dishes under a heat lamp or in a plate warmer.
- Give them a final polish with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to ensure they are sparkling for their table debut.
Keeping It Looking Great
- These dishes are fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast and efficient cleaning.
- To maintain the finish, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring pads.
- Dry immediately after washing, either by hand or in the dishwasher, to prevent water spots.
- Stack carefully with protectors if possible to avoid scratching and denting the rims over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these dishes stackable?
A: Yes, they are designed to nest inside one another for space-saving storage, though we recommend careful stacking to protect the finish.
Q: Can I use them for cold food like salads or desserts?
A: Absolutely! Stainless steel is excellent for retaining cold temperatures. Just chill the bowls beforehand for serving items like ice cream or cold noodle salads.
Q: Will the handles get hot when serving warm food?
A: The handles may become warm if the dish contains very hot food. We always advise staff to handle with care, using a cloth if necessary, as standard practice.
Q: What is the best way to clean the hammered surface?
A: They are fully dishwasher safe. For manual washing, a soft cloth or sponge with regular washing-up liquid is perfect. Avoid abrasive scourers.
Q: Does the hammered finish make them harder to clean?
A: Not at all. The dimples are shallow and smooth, so food does not get trapped. They clean just as easily as a standard smooth bowl.
Q: How well do they retain heat?
A: Stainless steel offers good heat retention, helping to keep hot food at the correct serving temperature on its way from the pass to the table.
Q: Are they heavy to carry?
A: No, at just 180g, they are surprisingly lightweight, which helps reduce fatigue for your waiting staff during long shifts.
Q: Can these go in the microwave?
A: No, as they are made of stainless steel, they are not safe for use in a microwave oven.

You might think the hammered finish on this commercial table presentation dish is purely for show, but it has a clever practical advantage. Think of it like the dimples on a golf ball. In a busy kitchen, smooth, mirror-polished surfaces show every single tiny scratch and scuff mark, quickly looking worn. The textured, dimpled surface of a hammered bowl is fantastic at disguising these minor imperfections that are an inevitable part of daily service. This means your Olympia HY111 hammered serving dish will maintain its premium, pristine appearance for much, much longer, protecting your investment and keeping your tables looking sharp.
