Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
El Faro, a popular tapas restaurant in Bristol's vibrant city centre, wanted to refresh their table presentation to stand out. They were using standard white ramekins but felt their vibrant dishes deserved a more dynamic backdrop. They switched to the Olympia HY103 stainless steel mini paella pan for all their hot tapas.
"The moment we started using these, the customer reaction was fantastic. They look brilliant on the table, and they keep the food properly hot. Our prawn pil pil and chorizo dishes have never looked better, and we get so many positive comments."
Laura Jennings – Head Chef at El Faro
Since the switch, the restaurant has seen a noticeable uplift in social media tags from customers and reports that the visual appeal has directly contributed to higher side dish sales.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the pans a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- For serving hot dishes, you can gently warm the pans under a heat lamp on the pass.
- The handles are part of the pan and will get hot if the pan is heated, so ensure staff are aware.
- Check each pan for its label upon arrival – easily removed with a bit of warm water.
Keeping It Going
- These pans are fully dishwasher safe, making for a super quick turnaround.
- To remove stubborn food, soak in warm, soapy water rather than using harsh steel wool, which can scratch the finish.
- Dry them thoroughly before stacking to prevent water spots and maintain their shine.
- Stack carefully, perhaps with a thin separator, to protect the surface and make them easier to grab during a busy service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I cook directly in these pans on a hob or in the oven?
A: These pans are designed for presentation and serving, not for direct cooking on a hob. While they are heat resistant for serving hot food, they are not intended for use as cookware in an oven or on a stove.
Q: Are the pans dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are made from durable stainless steel and are designed to be safely and easily cleaned in a commercial dishwasher.
Q: Do the handles get hot?
A: Yes. As they are made from the same piece of stainless steel, the handles will conduct heat from the hot food within. Staff should be trained to carry them with a cloth if they are coming directly from a heat source.
Q: What material are they made from?
A: They are made from high-quality, commercial-grade stainless steel for durability and excellent heat retention.
Q: How much do they weigh?
A: Each pan is very lightweight, weighing just 120 grams, making them easy for staff to handle.
Q: Can I stack them to save space?
A: Yes, they can be stacked. For best results and to avoid scratching, it's best to stack them carefully or with a liner in between.
Q: What is the actual diameter of the pan base?
A: The internal diameter is 120mm (12cm), while the 163mm measurement includes the handles.
Q: Will they rust or tarnish over time?
A: High-quality stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. With proper care and cleaning, they will maintain their appearance for a very long time.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy Stainless Steel is the Smart Choice for Serving
You might wonder why a simple material like stainless steel makes this table presentation paella pan so special. Unlike cast iron, which is heavy and requires careful seasoning, or ceramics, which can chip easily, stainless steel hits the sweet spot for professional serving. Think of it as the best of both worlds: it has the sleek, modern look of high-end tableware, but the resilience and heat-holding power of professional cookware. It’s non-porous, meaning it won’t absorb flavours or odours and is incredibly hygienic. Most importantly, it retains heat exceptionally well, ensuring that a sizzling dish from the kitchen stays sizzling all the way to the customer's table, protecting the quality and integrity of your food.
Who Should Buy This?
- Spanish & Tapas Restaurants: The perfect vessel for serving authentic tapas, patatas bravas, or single-portion paellas with flair.
- Gastropubs & Bistros: Ideal for elevating your side dishes like triple-cooked chips, macaroni cheese, or sizzling prawns.
- Boutique Hotels: A stylish choice for in-room dining or for serving appetisers and small plates in the hotel bar or restaurant.
