Product Overview
Thinking about how to present your mains and sides without them getting all mixed up? This pack of six Olympia divided oval eared dishes is your answer. Beautifully crafted from brilliant white porcelain, this divided oval eared dish 290 x 160mm is a classic bit of kit designed to make your food look fantastic while being incredibly practical. The central divider neatly separates two parts of a meal, making it a firm favourite for everything from pub curries to elegant bistro lunches.
It’s designed for the hustle and bustle of a professional kitchen. This isn't just any old dish; it's fully vitrified, which is a fancy way of saying it’s super tough, heat-resistant, and won't absorb flavours or odours. The strengthened rolled edges mean you can say goodbye to constant chipping, and the little 'ears' on each side make it much safer to carry from a hot oven straight to the table. It’s the kind of hard-wearing, versatile crockery that quickly becomes an indispensable part of your service.
So, whether you're serving pie and mash, bangers and mash, or a delicate fish with a side of greens, this dish keeps your presentation sharp and your customers happy. It’s oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe, ticking all the boxes for a busy catering environment. It’s a simple, smart investment in quality that your kitchen team will thank you for.

Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Y100 is a real workhorse masquerading as simple, elegant tableware. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but it perfects the fundamentals. The vitrified body can take a real beating, which is exactly what you need in a high-turnover spot. Its practicality for serving 'two-part' meals is just brilliant, a simple solution that chefs genuinely appreciate.
Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Pros: The build quality is top-notch; it resists thermal shock and chips remarkably well.
- Cons: Its classic design, while versatile, might not suit very modern or rustic restaurant themes.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ship Inn, a bustling seaside pub in Whitby, needed a more robust and practical solution for their popular fish pie and mushy peas special. Their existing plates led to soggy presentation if there was any delay getting them to the table.
"These divided dishes have been brilliant. They look clean and professional, and they keep the two halves of the meal perfectly separate right up until the customer takes their first bite. The kitchen staff love how tough they are, too."
Robert Davies – Pub Manager
Since switching, the pub has seen a noticeable drop in complaints about food presentation and has improved kitchen-to-table efficiency during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- On arrival, unpack and check each dish for any transit damage.
- Give all dishes a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use.
- If placing in a hot oven from room temperature, do so gently to allow gradual heating.
- Stack carefully in your storage area, ready for a busy service.
Keeping It Going
- These dishes are dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers or steel wool, which can damage the glaze.
- Stack with care. While chip-resistant, dropping them is never a good idea!
- Regularly inspect the rolled edges for any potential damage to maintain standards.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy 'Fully Vitrified' Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what 'fully vitrified' actually means? Think of it as giving the porcelain a superhero upgrade. During manufacturing, the dish is fired at an incredibly high temperature until the clay becomes glass-like and non-porous. This means, unlike standard ceramic, it has virtually zero water absorption. So, what's the big deal? It means strong-smelling or brightly-coloured foods (hello, curry and beetroot!) won't leave behind stains or lingering odours after washing. It also makes the dish far stronger, more resistant to chipping, and better able to handle the 'thermal shock' of going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf. In short, it’s the secret to crockery that lasts longer, stays looking newer, and is far more hygienic for your customers.
