Customer Experiences

Alastair Montgomery: After refitting my gastropub with the Olympia Kiln range in “Ocean,” I’ve been incredibly impressed by how the reactive glaze hides minor cutlery marks while making our seasonal starters look spectacular. The rolled edges have survived several clumsy shifts in the glasswash, and the fact that they are microwave and oven-safe has streamlined our kitchen-to-table workflow significantly.

Beatrice Langford: We transitioned our entire hotel breakfast service to Olympia Whiteware three months ago, and the durability of the vitrified porcelain is unmatched; despite high-turnover use, we haven’t seen a single chip on the 145mm cereal bowls. The stackable design of the Athena-style cups has also saved us a tremendous amount of shelf space in our compact service station.

Dominic Thorne: Running a high-volume Italian bistro means our pasta bowls take a beating, but the Olympia Fusion pieces have maintained their high-gloss finish even after hundreds of industrial dishwasher cycles. The thermal shock resistance is a lifesaver when moving platters from the warming lamp to the customer, ensuring our guests’ meals stay hot without the ceramic cracking under pressure.

Olympia FAQ

Are Olympia crockery items suitable for industrial dishwashers?

Yes, Olympia products are specifically engineered for the hospitality industry and are fully dishwasher safe, designed to withstand the high temperatures and chemicals used in commercial glass and dishwashing cycles.

Does the crockery come with a warranty against chipping?

Many ranges within the Olympia Whiteware and Athena collections carry a lifetime edge-chip warranty, providing business owners with peace of mind regarding the longevity of their investment in high-traffic environments.

Is it possible to use Olympia porcelain in the oven or microwave?

Absolutely, the vitrified ceramic and porcelain materials used by Olympia are designed for thermal shock resistance, making them safe for use in microwaves, ovens, and for under-the-grill browning.

How does the Kiln range differ from the standard Whiteware?

While Whiteware offers a clean, professional, and uniform look, the Kiln collection features a reactive glaze that creates subtle variations in colour and texture, giving each piece a unique, handcrafted appearance.

Are the coffee mugs and cups designed to be stackable?

Most of the core commercial lines, particularly the Athena and Whiteware ranges, are explicitly designed with a stackable profile to maximise storage efficiency in cramped professional kitchens and service stations.
