Product Description
The Olympia Whiteware snack plate is a straightforward, practical piece of crockery designed to sit alongside cups and mugs on a café counter, tea tray, or buffet spread. The extended profile gives enough surface area to accompany a hot drink with a slice of cake, a biscuit, or a small pastry without crowding the cup itself — a detail that matters when you are turning tables quickly during a morning rush.
Made from fully vitrified porcelain, these plates are built to handle the daily wear of a commercial operation. Vitrification means the body is non-porous, which supports hygiene and helps resist staining from tea, coffee, and sauces over time. The soft rolled edge is a practical choice for busy service environments where crockery is stacked, slid, and handled repeatedly by staff — it reduces the risk of chipping at the rim, which is typically where plates fail first.
- Fully vitrified body resists staining and supports food hygiene standards
- Chip-resistant rolled edge reduces breakage during daily handling and stacking
- Compatible with Olympia Whiteware cups and mugs for a co-ordinated table setting
- Classic white glaze suits most café, hotel, and hospitality environments
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for initial stock or topping up existing sets
These plates are a sensible choice for cafés, hotel lounges, tearoams, and buffet operations that already use or are building out the Olympia Whiteware range. The 240mm size is well suited to snack accompaniments rather than full plate service, so it is worth considering your menu before ordering — operators running a broader food offer may also need larger diameter plates from the same range.
If you are building a full crockery set or are unsure which pieces suit your service style, we are happy to help you put together the right selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Fully vitrified porcelain is generally well suited to commercial dishwasher cycles, and the chip-resistant edge helps the plates withstand the handling involved in rack loading and unloading. That said, the longevity of any crockery in a commercial dishwasher depends on water hardness, chemical concentrations, and cycle temperatures, so it is worth checking your machine settings are within normal ranges.
- A useful starting point for a small café is three to four covers' worth of crockery in active circulation, plus a reserve for breakages. For a ten-cover operation running continuous service, two to three packs of 12 is a reasonable opening stock, though higher-volume sites or those with slower wash turnaround may need more.
- Yes — the Olympia Whiteware range is designed to coordinate across its pieces, and these snack plates are specifically sized to pair with the CB461 mug and CB462 cup. If you are building out a full set covering various service occasions, it is worth planning the mix of plate sizes and cup styles to match your menu rather than ordering each piece in isolation.
