Dishes

These Churchill round pie dishes are a straightforward, practical choice for kitchens serving individual portion pies, pot pies, or baked desserts. Made from white porcelain, they are designed to go directly from oven to table, which suits the kind of streamlined service flow most catering operations depend on.

Porcelain at this thickness holds heat well once out of the oven, helping dishes arrive at the table at a proper serving temperature without needing to rush between kitchen and pass. The white finish presents cleanly across most table settings, and the round format works equally well for savoury fillings and sweet dishes such as crumbles or bread pudding.

For day-to-day kitchen use, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Chip-resistant construction handles the stacking and handling of busy service
• Oven-to-table suitability removes the need for separate serving dishes
• White porcelain cleans consistently and resists staining under regular dishwasher use
• Uniform shape makes portion control and presentation consistent across covers
• Supplied in a pack of 12 to cover a reasonable table count from a single order

There are no unusual installation or preparation requirements — these dishes suit conventional ovens and standard dishwasher cycles. They are not designed for direct flame or induction use, so bear that in mind if your finishing process involves a salamander or direct heat source.

This size is well suited to pub kitchens, hotel restaurants, and casual dining operations running individual portion dishes. For operations with a higher table count or a need for larger sharing portions, different sizes within the Churchill range may be worth considering.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or standardising your tableware across a site and want to talk through quantities or suitability, the team is happy to help.

The Masterclass 4Ltr Shallow Casserole is a lidded cast aluminium dish designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. It functions in the same way as traditional cast iron cookware — retaining and distributing heat evenly — but at a fraction of the weight, making it easier to handle during busy service periods.

Cast aluminium conducts heat well across the base, which supports consistent cooking results whether the dish is used on a hob or in an oven. The shallow profile suits braised dishes, roasted vegetables, and service-ready preparations where presentation matters as much as cooking performance. The included lid helps retain moisture and temperature when holding food prior to service.

For day-to-day kitchen use, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Double-layer scratch-resistant non-stick interior aids food release and simplifies cleaning
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue compared with cast iron alternatives
• Even heat distribution supports consistent cooking results across the base
• Lidded design helps retain heat and moisture during holding
• Robust aluminium build suitable for regular commercial use

At 1.7kg, this dish is noticeably lighter than comparable cast iron pieces, which is a practical consideration in kitchens where staff are handling multiple dishes across a shift. The non-stick surface requires standard care — avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning materials to maintain performance over time.

This size is well suited to small-batch cooking, individual service portions at scale, or table-to-kitchen preparation in restaurants, cafés, and similar settings. For higher-volume operations requiring larger batch sizes, a bigger capacity option may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this dish suits your menu or service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This is a straightforward cast iron roasting dish from Vogue, finished in black with a cream enamelled interior. At 3 litres capacity, it sits in a practical mid-size range — large enough for roasting joints, root vegetables, or oven-baked dishes for multiple covers, without being unwieldy to handle during a busy service.

Cast iron performs well in commercial kitchen environments because of the way it handles and retains heat. Once the dish is up to temperature, it holds that heat consistently across the base and sides, which helps with even cooking and means food stays warmer for longer when held or brought to the pass. It is compatible with all heat sources — gas, electric, ceramic top, and induction — which makes it a flexible addition to any kitchen regardless of the hob setup.

The enamelled interior is worth noting from an operational standpoint. A properly maintained enamel surface resists rust, makes cleaning more straightforward than bare cast iron, and reduces the need for seasoning. Key practical points for kitchen operators:

• Works across gas, electric, induction, and ceramic hob types
• Retains heat well, helping food stay at temperature before serving
• Enamelled interior is easier to clean and maintain than bare cast iron
• Oven-safe construction suitable for hob-to-oven use
• Weighs 3.7kg — heavier than aluminium or stainless equivalents at this size

The weight is worth bearing in mind. At 3.7kg empty, this dish is noticeably heavier than comparable stainless or aluminium cookware. For most kitchen environments this is not a problem, but it is something to consider if staff are handling multiple dishes in quick succession or if there are manual handling considerations in your operation.

This dish is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, gastropubs, boutique hotels, and catering operations where cast iron cookware fits the cooking style or front-of-house presentation. For higher-volume operations requiring larger batch sizes or faster turnaround, a larger capacity dish or a different material may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your menu or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

This is a full 1/1 gastronorm roasting dish from Matfer Bourgeat, constructed in stainless steel and produced to the standard GN footprint that fits directly into commercial ovens, bain-maries, and hot holding equipment. The 20mm depth makes it well suited to roasting, baking, and reheating tasks where a shallow profile is an advantage — browning vegetables, roasting proteins, or finishing gratins without the excess volume of a deeper tray.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistency of fit matters as much as the dish itself. Because this tray conforms to full GN sizing, it works across the standard range of combi ovens, convection ovens, and holding cabinets without adjustment or guesswork. Stainless steel construction handles the thermal demands of repeated oven cycling reliably, resists warping under high heat, and is straightforward to clean after service.

• Full 1/1 GN format fits standard commercial ovens and holding equipment directly
• 20mm shallow depth suited to roasting, browning, and finishing dishes
• Stainless steel construction resists warping under repeated high-heat use
• Smooth interior surface cleans down quickly after service
• Produced by Matfer Bourgeat to consistent commercial-grade standards

There are no special installation requirements — this is a hand-use item that fits into existing GN-compatible equipment. It is worth confirming your oven or holding unit accepts full 1/1 GN trays before ordering, particularly in smaller kitchens where half-GN equipment is more common. For higher-volume operations running multiple trays simultaneously, it is worth building up a working stock rather than relying on a single tray per service.

This dish is a practical choice for restaurants, hotels, contract caterers, and pub kitchens running standard GN-compatible equipment and looking for a reliable, workaday roasting tray from a well-regarded manufacturer. If you are unsure whether this depth suits your menu or whether a deeper GN tray would serve you better, the team is happy to help you work it out.

These round eared dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a straightforward, dependable porcelain option for commercial operations that need practical, presentable tableware day in and day out. The eared design makes them easy to handle when hot, which is useful in busy service environments where speed and safety matter equally.

Made from fully vitrified porcelain, the dishes are built to hold up under the repetitive thermal cycling that comes with commercial use — moving between oven, pass, and dishwasher without the glaze degradation that affects lower-quality alternatives over time. The rolled, strengthened edges reduce chipping during stacking and handling, which helps keep replacement costs manageable across a large cover count.

• Fully vitrified porcelain body resists glaze wear over repeated wash cycles
• Strengthened rolled edges reduce chipping during everyday handling and stacking
• Oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe for versatile kitchen use
• Stackable design supports compact storage in busy prep and service areas
• Sold in packs of six, suited to building up covers cost-effectively

These dishes are well suited to canteens, cafés, pub kitchens, and casual dining restaurants where a clean, unfussy white finish works across a range of dishes and presentation styles. They are a practical everyday choice rather than a fine-dining piece, and their price point makes them a sensible option where attrition from breakages is a normal operational consideration.

If you're unsure how many to order for your cover count, or whether a different size or style would serve your menu better, we're happy to talk it through.

These oval pie dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a practical porcelain option for operations that serve individual pies, baked dishes, or vegetable sides directly to the table. Made from porcelain, they move comfortably from oven to table, which reduces handling steps during busy service and keeps presentation clean and consistent.

In a pub kitchen or café setting where the same dishes cycle through service repeatedly, durability matters as much as looks. Porcelain of this type is resistant to everyday chipping and holds up well to commercial dishwasher cycles, making it a realistic choice for establishments that need tableware to last across a full season of regular use rather than a handful of sittings.

Practical benefits for day-to-day service include:

• Oven-to-table format removes the need for separate serving dishes
• Consistent sizing supports portion control across a menu
• Plain white finish works across a range of table settings and branding styles
• Dishwasher-safe construction suits high-turnover service environments
• Sold in a pack of six, making it straightforward to stock a working set

These dishes suit operations running a pub menu, a café lunch service, or a small restaurant where individual baked dishes feature regularly. For sites needing a wider range of complementary Whiteware pieces — ramekins, bowls, platters — the broader Olympia Whiteware range carries matching options that keep tableware consistent across the menu.

If you're unsure how many covers a pack of six will realistically support through a full service, or whether a different size in the range would work better for your menu, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Steelite Simplicity round eared dish is a compact, single-portion cookware piece made from alumina vitrified ceramic. At 165mm across, it is a practical size for individual starters, sides, or small sharing portions, and the eared design gives both chef and guest a safe, comfortable way to handle a hot dish.

In a working kitchen, the main practical advantage of this range is thermal shock resistance. Dishes can move directly from freezer storage into a hot oven without risk of cracking, which suits prep-ahead workflows common in high-volume operations — banqueting, carvery service, or any kitchen that batches and finishes to order. The ceramic also retains heat well at the table, which helps maintain food quality during service.

• Alumina vitrified ceramic construction resists chipping and handles heavy daily use
• Eared design allows safe handling of hot dishes without separate ramekin cloths
• Thermal shock resistance supports freezer-to-oven working methods
• White finish presents cleanly under a range of plating styles
• Supplied in a pack of 36, suited to stocking a full section or service station

These dishes are dishwasher safe and the Steelite Simplicity range is widely used in contract catering, pub kitchens, and hotel food service where reliability and consistent presentation matter more than novelty. The lifetime edge chip warranty reflects confidence in the material, though as with any ceramic cookware, avoiding hard impacts during handling will extend service life.

If you are fitting out a new section or replacing stock across a large operation and are unsure of the right quantity or size mix, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your service style.

The MasterClass 2.5Ltr Deep Casserole Dish is a cast aluminium cooking pot designed for use across all common heat sources, including induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate. The stainless steel base provides the compatibility with induction hobs while the cast aluminium body distributes heat evenly across the base and sides. It is also oven-safe, making it practical for dishes that move from hob to oven during service.

Cast aluminium strikes a useful balance for catering smallwares — it conducts heat well and responds quickly to temperature changes, which helps with dishes that require careful heat management. Despite the material's performance, the pan remains noticeably lighter than comparable cast iron pieces, which reduces strain during a busy service when staff are moving pots frequently.

• Compatible with induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate hobs
• Oven-safe construction for hob-to-oven cooking workflows
• Lightweight relative to cast iron, reducing handling fatigue during service
• Even heat distribution from cast aluminium body supports consistent cooking
• 2.5Ltr capacity suited to batch cooking of sauces, stews, and braised dishes

At 2.5 litres, this is a relatively modest capacity — well suited to smaller kitchens, table service restaurants preparing dishes to order, or as a supplementary piece alongside larger pots. For kitchens cooking in bulk or holding larger quantities through service, a higher-capacity casserole would be the more practical choice.

If you're unsure whether this size fits your service volumes or workflow, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Steelite Simplicity round eared dish is a practical piece of oven-to-table cookware designed for professional food service. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is built to handle the rigours of a busy kitchen — moving from prep and cooking through to table presentation without the need for a transfer to separate serveware.

In a working kitchen, the real value of this dish is in how it handles temperature transitions. Its thermal shock resistance means it can go directly from freezer storage into the oven, which is useful where dishes are prepped in advance and finished to order during service. The white finish is neutral enough to suit most plating styles, and the eared design gives service staff a practical grip when moving hot dishes.

Key practical advantages include:

• Thermal shock resistance supports freezer-to-oven workflows without cracking
• Oven-to-table format reduces the need for additional serveware
• Alumina vitrified ceramic construction is durable under regular commercial dishwashing
• Eared design aids safe handling during service
• Lifetime edge chip warranty provides meaningful long-term assurance

These dishes are well suited to casual dining, pub kitchens, and hotel food service operations where individual portions are cooked and served in the same vessel. They work particularly well for gratins, pies, baked dishes, and similar menu items. At 215mm, the dish is a mid-range size — operations serving smaller portions or tapas-style dishes may find a smaller format more appropriate, while higher-volume kitchens may want to assess larger sizes within the Simplicity range.

If you are unsure which size or quantity best suits your menu and covers, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

These round eared dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a straightforward, practical choice for operations that need reliable, good-looking crockery without unnecessary complexity. Made from fully vitrified porcelain, they're built to hold up under the daily demands of a commercial environment — repeated dishwasher cycles, stacking, and the general wear of a busy service.

The rolled, reinforced edges provide meaningful chip resistance at the points most vulnerable to contact damage — the rim and the ears. In practice, this extends the usable life of the dish and reduces the frequency of replacements, which matters when you're running a large cover count. The fully vitrified body also maintains glaze integrity over time, so the dishes continue to present well even after extended use.

• Chip-resistant rolled edges reduce breakage in high-turnover service
• Fully vitrified porcelain maintains glaze and appearance over time
• Stackable design makes efficient use of storage space
• Safe for oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer use
• Classic white finish suits a wide range of presentation styles

These dishes are well suited to canteens, hotel food service, casual dining restaurants, and cafés — environments where durability and consistency across a large crockery inventory are more important than premium aesthetics. They're a sensible mid-volume choice. Operations with particularly high throughput or extended service periods may find it worth considering a heavier-duty alternative.

If you're building out a crockery set or matching to an existing Whiteware range, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to help you work out quantities and check availability.

These divided oval eared dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a straightforward, practical choice for operations that need reliable porcelain tableware capable of handling daily commercial use. The dish is divided into two sections within a single oval form, making it well suited to serving accompaniments, sauces, or side portions alongside a main item without the need for an additional piece of crockery.

The fully vitrified porcelain construction gives the dish good resistance to heat and thermal shock, which matters in a busy service environment where crockery moves quickly between dishwashers, heated pass areas, and cold garnish stations. The rolled, chip-resistant edge helps extend the working life of each piece — an important consideration when running a large tableware inventory across multiple covers.

• Divided interior keeps accompaniments and sauces separate on the plate
• Rolled chip-resistant edge reduces attrition during handling and washing
• Fully vitrified body supports repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles
• Smooth glaze finish is easy to clean and resists staining
• Supplied in a pack of six, practical for building or topping up existing stock

These dishes are suitable for restaurants, hotels, cafés, and contract catering operations running an Olympia Whiteware scheme or looking for a clean, unfussy white porcelain to complement existing tableware. They work equally well on a formal dining table or in a more casual setting. Operations with very high cover volumes may want to consider ordering in larger quantities to maintain adequate par stock through peak service.

If you're matching these to an existing range or working out quantities for a new opening, we're happy to help you work through what you'll need.

These Churchill oval eared dishes are a practical oven-to-tableware option for commercial catering operations. Made from porcelain and sold in packs of six, they are designed to move directly from oven to table, which keeps service straightforward and reduces the need for additional serving vessels.

In a busy kitchen environment, durability matters as much as appearance. Churchill's porcelain construction offers good chip resistance under the everyday handling that comes with high-cover service, and the material retains heat well, helping dishes arrive at the table at a reasonable temperature without operators needing to work around a narrow service window. The eared design gives waiting staff a practical grip point when carrying hot dishes, which is a small but useful detail during a busy service.

• Chip-resistant porcelain suitable for high-turnover catering environments
• Oven-to-tableware design simplifies plating and service workflow
• Good heat retention helps maintain food temperature through to the table
• Eared rim provides a practical grip for handling when hot
• Consistent white finish works across a range of menu presentations

These dishes are well suited to gastro pubs, hotel restaurants, carveries, and contract catering operations where a reliable, presentable eared dish is needed in volume. They are a mid-size option — operators running larger sharing portions or higher-volume covers may want to consider a larger format dish from the range.

If you are unsure which size or quantity suits your service style, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Churchill Stonecast Hints small casserole dishes are part of Churchill's super vitrified stoneware range. The Indigo Blue colourway features a hand-applied speckle finish, giving each piece a degree of natural variation that suits relaxed, informal presentation styles. Sold in packs of four, they are intended for commercial use in counter, buffet, and casual dining environments.

The dishes are built to move directly from oven to counter without requiring food to be transferred into separate serving vessels. The super vitrified construction gives them the durability expected in a commercial setting — resistant to chipping under regular handling and capable of withstanding the thermal cycling of a busy service. They are rated to 180°C, making them practical for finishing or holding in the oven before going straight to the pass or counter.

• Super vitrified body resists chipping through daily commercial handling
• Oven-to-counter capable, keeping service workflows efficient
• Hand-applied indigo speckle finish gives each piece slight natural character
• Pack-of-four format supports counter rotation and buffet restocking
• Consistent with the wider Stonecast Hints range for coordinated table or counter presentation

These dishes are not suitable for use on direct heat sources and should not be taken from cold to high oven temperatures in a single step. For operations running long continuous service, it is worth considering whether the pack quantity and vessel format will hold up to the specific throughput demands of your site.

They are well suited to buffet operations, counter service venues, and casual dining restaurants where durability and a consistent aesthetic both matter. If you are building out a counter or buffet presentation and want to see how these sit alongside other pieces in the Stonecast Hints range, the team is glad to help you think it through.

These Churchill round eared pie dishes are a practical, hardwearing choice for kitchens serving individual portions of pies, gratins, baked pastas, and similar oven-finished dishes. Made from porcelain in a plain black finish, the raised ears make them straightforward to handle safely when hot, which matters during a busy service when speed and safety both count.

Porcelain at this weight and construction holds heat well once out of the oven, which helps keep dishes at the right temperature between kitchen pass and table. That thermal retention is a genuine operational advantage for dishes that need to arrive at the table genuinely hot rather than merely warm.

The chip-resistant construction is well suited to the daily realities of a commercial kitchen — stacking, dishwasher cycles, and regular handling. Churchill cookware is commonly used across pub kitchens, hotel restaurants, and contract catering operations precisely because it performs consistently under that kind of volume without rapid deterioration.

• Chip-resistant porcelain suitable for high-frequency dishwasher use
• Eared design for safe handling direct from the oven
• Good heat retention keeps portions hot to the table
• Suitable for oven cooking and finishing as well as serving
• Consistent black finish works across a range of cover styles

These dishes are sold in packs of six, which suits most kitchens building up stock in multiples. For higher-volume operations running large numbers of individual portions simultaneously, it is worth considering how many packs will be needed to support service without a shortfall mid-shift.

If you are specifying cookware across a full menu or want to discuss quantities for a particular service style, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

These Churchill mini round eared dishes are a practical porcelain oven-to-tableware option, commonly used for individual portions, side dishes, sauces, and desserts across a wide range of catering operations. The eared design makes them straightforward to handle safely when hot, whether moving from oven to pass or placing directly in front of a guest.

Porcelain is a well-proven material choice for this type of dish. It retains heat effectively once brought up to temperature, which helps maintain food presentation and eating quality at the table. The construction is chip-resistant, which matters in a busy kitchen environment where dishes are handled repeatedly, stacked, and run through commercial dishwashers on a daily basis.

In practical terms, these dishes suit catering operations where consistency and durability are priorities:

• Porcelain construction offers reliable chip resistance under regular commercial use
• Oven-to-tableware suitability reduces the need for separate serving vessels
• Eared design allows safe handling straight from the oven or salamander
• Retains heat well, supporting food quality through service
• White finish presents cleanly across a range of menu styles and plating approaches

As with all tableware purchased for service, it is worth considering your wash cycle throughput and storage capacity alongside pack quantity. These are sold in packs of six, which suits operations building out or topping up an existing set rather than outfitting from scratch at volume.

These dishes are well suited to cafés, gastropubs, hotel restaurants, and contract catering operations that need a reliable, presentable eared dish for everyday service. For sites requiring larger quantities or a different capacity, Churchill offers a broader range of eared dish sizes worth exploring.

If you are unsure which size or quantity best suits your menu and service style, the team is happy to help you work it out.

These Olympia stoneware pie bowls are a straightforward, practical piece of tableware designed for operations that serve individual pies, baked dishes, or deep-filled portions directly from oven to table. The round format and generous depth make them a reliable choice for consistent portion presentation without the need to transfer food between cookware and serving dish.

Stoneware construction means these bowls handle the repeated thermal cycling that comes with busy service — going from a hot oven to the pass and onto the table without the cracking or crazing that affects lower-quality earthenware over time. They're well suited to kitchens running high cover counts where tableware takes a sustained amount of daily use, washing, and stacking.

From an operational standpoint, the oven-to-table format offers a few practical advantages:

• Reduces the number of dishes used per cover, keeping washing up manageable
• Food retains heat at the table, reducing the risk of complaints about cold pies
• Consistent sizing supports portion control and presentation standards
• Sturdy enough to withstand commercial dishwasher cycles reliably

These bowls are a standard fit for pub kitchens, café operations, and casual dining restaurants serving pies, crumbles, gratins, or baked sides. They're sold in packs of six, which suits most operators building up tableware stock gradually or replacing breakages. If your service volume demands a larger initial quantity, it's worth considering how many covers you're turning at peak and ordering accordingly.

If you're unsure whether this size is right for your portion sizes or presentation style, the team is happy to talk through what works best for your menu.

Churchill's oval eared dishes are a straightforward, reliable piece of tableware designed specifically for commercial catering use. The eared design gives serving staff a practical grip when moving dishes from oven or pass to table, and the oval form suits a wide range of plated dishes — from starters and sides to desserts and condiment portions. The 224ml capacity makes these a useful size for individual portions without being oversized on the plate.

Made from porcelain, these dishes are built to withstand the everyday wear of a busy kitchen and front-of-house operation. Porcelain is a practical choice for catering environments: it holds heat well once warmed through, which helps maintain dish temperature during service, and the white glaze is straightforward to keep clean. Churchill's catering-grade construction also means the dishes are designed with chip resistance in mind — an important consideration when pieces are handled at pace, stacked repeatedly, and passed through commercial dishwashers on a daily basis.

• Chip-resistant porcelain suited to high-frequency commercial use
• Eared design provides a secure grip for service staff
• Good heat retention once pre-warmed at the pass
• Oven-to-table suitable, reducing the need for additional serving dishes
• White glaze presents cleanly across a range of menu styles

These are sold in packs of six, which works well as a top-up quantity for existing tableware stocks or as a starting point for a smaller operation. For sites running high covers or where attrition through breakage is a factor, buying in larger quantities is worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this size and capacity suits your menu, or if you'd like guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to help you work it through.

These round eared dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a straightforward, practical tableware choice for commercial catering operations. Made from fully vitrified porcelain, they are built to handle the daily demands of professional use — repeated dishwasher cycles, stacking in storage, and movement through a busy pass — without losing their finish over time.

The eared design makes them easy to handle when hot, which suits both front-of-house service and kitchen prep. The rolled, strengthened edges provide a degree of chip resistance that matters in high-turnover environments where crockery takes inevitable knocks. Vitrified porcelain holds its glaze well under prolonged commercial use, which keeps presentation consistent across a busy service period.

• Fully vitrified porcelain resists crazing and glaze wear over time
• Strengthened rolled edges reduce chipping during everyday handling
• Eared design aids safe handling straight from oven or grill
• Stackable profile helps manage storage space in tight back-of-house areas
• Compatible with oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer use

These dishes are well suited to canteens, cafes, casual dining restaurants, and hotel food service operations where a clean, consistent white presentation is required without the cost of fine dining crockery. They are a practical choice for venues running high covers or anywhere crockery replacement costs need to be kept manageable. For operations with very high breakage rates or a need for heavier-gauge porcelain, it is worth considering whether a more robust specification would offer better long-term value.

If you are sourcing tableware across multiple covers or want to discuss what works well for your type of operation, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Simplicity oblong roaster is a practical piece of oven-to-table cookware made from alumina vitrified ceramic. Each dish moves directly from preparation through cooking and on to the pass without any need to transfer food to separate serving dishes, which is a straightforward efficiency gain during a busy service.

In commercial kitchen use, the ceramic construction handles the thermal demands of high-temperature ovens without issue, and the material's thermal shock resistance means dishes can go straight from frozen storage into the oven — a useful characteristic when working with batch-prepared or blast-chilled food. The vitrified surface is non-porous, which supports easier cleaning and helps resist staining and odour absorption over repeated use cycles.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Oven-to-table format reduces washing-up and plating time during service
• Thermal shock resistance supports straight-from-freezer-to-oven working practices
• Non-porous vitrified surface resists staining and simplifies cleaning
• Supplied as a pack of six, providing practical cover for service volume
• Lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite offers a degree of long-term value assurance

These roasters are well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and hospitality operations where a consistent, presentable oven-to-table format is part of the service style. The pack-of-six format suits operations with moderate to high turnovers of covers. For higher-volume sites running continuous service across multiple sections, a larger pack quantity or heavier-gauge alternative may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and format fits your menu or service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

This Pyrex rectangular glass roasting dish is a straightforward, multi-purpose piece of cookware suited to a range of light-duty commercial and hospitality applications. Made from borosilicate-style glass with high thermal shock resistance, it moves reliably between temperature extremes without the cracking risk associated with standard glass.

In a working kitchen, that thermal resilience matters. A dish that can go from a chilled larder into a hot oven — or be used to carry food from the oven directly to a buffet or table — removes a handling step and reduces the risk of breakage during service. The transparent construction also makes it straightforward to check food colour and doneness without lifting or disturbing the dish.

• Suitable for oven, microwave, and dishwasher use
• High thermal shock resistance for oven-to-table service
• Glass construction allows visual monitoring of cooking progress
• Doubles as a food storage vessel for chilled or ambient use
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

It is worth noting that glass cookware of this type is better suited to lower-intensity, moderate-volume operations — catering for small functions, care homes, bed and breakfast kitchens, or front-of-house buffet service — rather than high-throughput production kitchens where metal gastronorms and bakeware tend to be more practical. The glass is durable within its intended use, but it will not withstand the knocks and stacking pressures of a busy brigade environment in the way steel trays would.

If you are unsure whether glass bakeware is the right choice for your service style or kitchen setup, we are happy to talk it through.

These round eared dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a straightforward, practical porcelain option for commercial catering operations. The eared design gives service staff a secure grip when moving hot dishes from oven to pass, and the classic white finish suits a wide range of table settings without drawing attention to itself.

Made from fully vitrified porcelain, the body resists moisture absorption and holds its glaze well under the repeated thermal cycling that commercial kitchens put tableware through daily. The rolled, reinforced edges reduce the risk of chipping at the rim — the point where most crockery damage occurs in busy operations. They stack cleanly, which matters when storage space is limited and turnover is fast.

• Suitable for oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer use
• Strengthened rolled edges for chip resistance during heavy service
• Fully vitrified body maintains glaze integrity over time
• Stackable design to make efficient use of storage
• Classic white finish compatible with most table presentations

These dishes are compatible with standard commercial dishwashers and require no special handling beyond normal crockery care. Being porcelain rather than bone china, they are robust enough for canteen and casual dining environments where turnover is high and gentle handling cannot always be guaranteed.

Well suited to hotels, canteens, casual dining restaurants, cafés, and staff restaurants where a reliable, consistent white crockery solution is needed at a sensible price point. For operations with very high daily covers or where a finer finish is required, it is worth considering a heavier-duty or premium porcelain alternative.

If you are building out a crockery range or matching to existing tableware, the team is happy to help you work through quantities and options before you order.

This Olympia flat-bottomed balti dish is a straightforward stainless steel serving vessel designed for presenting balti-style dishes, curries, and similar South Asian preparations directly at the table. The flat base keeps it stable on both wooden boards and flat surfaces, which is a practical consideration when serving on uneven or rustic tableware setups common in casual dining environments.

In service, stainless steel retains heat reasonably well once the dish has been warmed, helping to keep food at an acceptable temperature from the pass to the table. At 170mm across, the medium size suits a standard single-portion balti or a generous side dish. It works equally well for smaller sharing portions in a multi-dish format, which suits the way many South Asian and Indian menus are structured.

• Stable flat base suits wooden boards and flat service platters
• Stainless steel construction is robust and easy to clean between services
• Consistent sizing supports portion control across covers
• Suitable for oven warming prior to service
• Lightweight enough for front-of-house handling without difficulty

At 240g, the dish is light enough for comfortable front-of-house handling, and stainless steel holds up well to the rigours of a busy restaurant environment — dishwasher-safe and resistant to the knocks of a high-turnover service. Smaller dishes in this range suit tapas-style or starter portions; larger options are available where full mains or sharing servings are the norm.

If you are building out a consistent tableware range or matching dishes to a specific board or platter format, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Olympia stoneware pie bowls are a practical, reliable choice for commercial kitchens that serve individual pies, pot roasts, baked dishes, or sides directly from oven to table. The 156mm diameter makes them well suited to single-portion service, and the stoneware construction handles the repeated thermal cycling that comes with continuous oven use in a busy kitchen.

Stoneware is a sensible material choice for this type of serviceware. It retains heat well once out of the oven, which helps dishes arrive at the table at a proper serving temperature rather than cooling off on the pass. The finish is hardwearing enough for everyday commercial use, and the bowls present well on the table without requiring additional serving dishes.

• Oven-safe stoneware construction handles repeated daily thermal cycling
• Retains heat effectively to maintain serving temperature at the table
• 156mm diameter is well matched to individual portion sizes
• Earth-toned finish suits casual dining and pub kitchen presentations
• Supplied in a pack of six, practical for batch purchasing and stock management

These bowls are suitable for most standard commercial ovens and are practical for kitchens running a regular pie or baked dish menu. They are not intended for induction use. As with all stoneware, they benefit from careful handling during washing and stacking to reduce the risk of chipping over time — this is worth bearing in mind when assessing suitability for high-turnover operations with rapid pot-wash cycles.

These bowls are a good fit for cafés, pub kitchens, and casual dining restaurants that want consistent, presentable serviceware for individual hot dishes. For sites needing larger portion formats or a broader matching range, other sizes within the Olympia stoneware range are worth considering.

If you are unsure whether these suit your menu format or service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Simplicity casserole is an alumina vitrified ceramic dish designed for oven-to-table service in commercial catering environments. At 3 litres capacity and sold as a pack of two, it sits in a practical mid-size range suited to portion-controlled dishes, sharing plates, and table service presentation. Lids are available separately.

In busy kitchen service, the ability to move a dish directly from freezer storage to the oven without risk of cracking is a genuine operational asset. The thermal shock resistance built into the alumina vitrified ceramic construction supports exactly that workflow, reducing handling steps and the risk of breakage during service prep. The material also retains heat well once plated, which helps dishes arrive at the table at the right temperature.

For front-of-house presentation, the clean white finish is well suited to contemporary table settings without requiring separate serving dishes. Key practical advantages include:

• Freezer-to-oven capability removes the need for pre-thawing in separate vessels
• Oven-to-table presentation reduces washing-up and speeds service
• Alumina vitrified ceramic construction is durable under repeated commercial use
• Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty reflects the expected durability in everyday service

These dishes are straightforwardly stackable for storage, which matters when space behind the pass or in prep areas is limited. There are no installation requirements — they are oven-safe and require no additional equipment beyond a standard commercial oven.

This casserole suits gastropubs, hotel restaurants, and any operation serving portioned hot dishes directly to the table. For operations running very high covers or needing a larger serving vessel, a larger capacity alternative may be worth considering.

If you are building out a new tableware range or matching these to existing Simplicity pieces, the team are happy to help you work through what quantities and sizes make sense for your service style.

The Vogue 800ml glass dish is a straightforward cook-and-serve piece made from borosilicate glass — a material chosen specifically for its ability to handle the thermal demands of commercial kitchen work. It moves from oven to table without requiring a transfer to a serving dish, which suits operations where speed and simplicity matter.

Borosilicate glass has a notably higher resistance to thermal shock than standard glass, meaning it can be taken from a hot oven and placed on a cooler surface without the risk of cracking that would affect ordinary glassware. This makes it a practical choice in busy kitchens where handling is fast and not always careful. The glass is also non-porous, so it does not absorb odours, flavours, or staining from strongly coloured ingredients — a genuine advantage when the same dish is used across different menu items throughout service.

• Suitable for oven cooking and direct table presentation
• Non-porous surface resists odour and flavour transfer
• Thermal shock resistance supports confident handling during service
• Compatible with dishwasher cleaning for back-of-house efficiency

In terms of practical considerations, this is a glass item and does carry the breakage risk associated with all glassware in a commercial environment. It is best suited to lower-volume operations, smaller service teams, or specific menu applications rather than high-turnover covers where durability under constant handling is a priority. Stoneware or ceramic alternatives may be more appropriate where breakage rates are a concern.

This dish suits cafés, bistros, smaller restaurants, and hospitality operations looking for a clean, presentable vessel that serves both a cooking and a front-of-house function without the need for additional crockery. If you are unsure whether this size and material suits your service style, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Vogue 3.6Ltr glass dish is a straightforward cook-and-serve vessel made from borosilicate glass. Borosilicate is a specialist glass composition that offers considerably greater resistance to thermal shock than ordinary glass, meaning the dish can move from a hot oven to a cooler surface without risk of cracking under normal use. It is suitable for oven cooking and can be brought directly to the table or counter for service.

In a working kitchen environment, the practical value of a single vessel that handles both cooking and presentation is largely about reducing handling and wash-up. There is no need to transfer food to a separate serving dish, which keeps the pass tidier and marginally reduces the risk of spillage or heat loss during plating. The glass construction means staff and guests can see the contents clearly, which is useful for self-service counters or buffet-style service.

• Borosilicate glass construction resists thermal shock during oven-to-table use
• Non-porous surface does not absorb odours, flavours, or staining
• Suitable for oven temperatures up to 250°C
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward back-of-house cleaning
• Transparent sides aid portion visibility on buffet and self-service counters

Because the surface is non-porous, it cleans readily and does not carry residual flavours or colours between uses — a practical consideration when the same dish is used for different menu items across a service. It is suitable for both back-of-house cooking and front-of-house presentation, and the smooth glass surface is straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher.

This dish is well suited to smaller catering operations, hospitality venues, hotel buffets, or as a supplementary serving vessel in larger kitchens. It is a single-unit, general-purpose size — operators needing to serve larger volumes or run multiple dishes simultaneously may want to consider larger-capacity options within the range.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service style or menu requirements, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Churchill Stonecast Hints small casserole dish is part of Churchill's Stonecast Hints range — a collection of super vitrified stoneware designed to bring a handcrafted aesthetic to commercial tableware without sacrificing everyday durability. Each piece carries a fine speckle finish with a darker rim edge applied by hand, so no two dishes are identical. The Barley White colourway is neutral and sits comfortably alongside a wide range of plating styles without drawing attention away from the food.

In a commercial setting these dishes are commonly used for à la carte presentations, deli counter displays, and buffet or breakfast service where the vessel contributes to the overall look of the dish. The super vitrified construction gives the body greater resistance to chipping and crazing than standard earthenware, which matters in kitchens where crockery is handled at pace and goes through a commercial dishwasher multiple times each day. A temperature rating of 180°C means they are suitable for brief oven warming as well as cold counter use, giving operators useful flexibility across service formats.

• Super vitrified body for improved chip and craze resistance under daily use
• Hand-applied speckle and rim finish — each piece individually decorated
• Rated to 180°C, suitable for oven warming and cold counter service
• Microwave and dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround during service
• Neutral Barley White finish complements a broad range of food presentations

These dishes are well suited to cafés, bistros, hotel breakfast operations, and similar venues where presentation matters but crockery needs to hold up to regular commercial use. They are sold in packs of four. For sites running higher covers or needing larger serving formats, there are bigger capacity pieces within the Stonecast Hints range worth considering.

If you are building a cohesive table or counter scheme and want to talk through how these sit alongside other pieces in the range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These round pie dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a straightforward piece of porcelain tableware designed to go from oven to table without a change of vessel. Made for individual portion service, they are commonly used for pies, crumbles, and baked side dishes across pub kitchens, cafés, and contract catering operations.

Porcelain construction means these dishes handle the repeated thermal cycling of a busy kitchen without degrading quickly. They can move between oven heat and the pass without issue, and the white glaze resists staining reasonably well under regular use. As smallwares go, they are a practical everyday item rather than a premium display piece — which suits most operators who need reliable, consistent tableware that can withstand frequent washing and handling.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Oven-to-table use reduces the need for separate serving dishes, saving time at the pass
• Uniform white finish presents well across mixed tableware sets
• Porcelain construction is chip-resistant under normal service conditions
• Individual portion size keeps presentation consistent across covers
• Pack of six supports staged replacement without over-ordering

These dishes are well suited to operations serving individual hot portions where a presentable, oven-safe vessel is needed. For sites running very high covers or where dishes take significant daily punishment, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty option from the wider range would offer better longevity.

If you are building out a tableware set or want to talk through quantities for your operation, the team is happy to help.

The Steelite Simplicity oval eared dish is a compact, oven-to-table piece designed for everyday use in commercial food service. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it holds 360ml and is built to handle the demands of a busy kitchen pass — going from preparation through cooking and straight to the table without needing an intermediate transfer to serving ware.

In practice, these dishes suit kitchens where speed and presentation both matter. The ceramic construction handles thermal shock well, meaning dishes can move directly from freezer storage into the oven without the cracking risk that affects lower-grade materials. For kitchens running batch cookery or operating with prep done well ahead of service, that resilience makes a genuine difference to workflow. The eared design makes handling straightforward — service staff can carry hot dishes safely without specialist equipment.

Operationally, the Simplicity range offers a few clear advantages:

• Thermal shock resistance supports freezer-to-oven workflows without the risk of cracking
• Oven-to-table format eliminates the need for separate serving dishes, reducing washing cycles
• The white vitrified finish resists staining and presents well under both bright kitchen lighting and at the table
• Alumina vitrified ceramic is durable under the repeated heating and cooling cycles typical of high-volume service
• Lifetime edge chip warranty reflects the build quality Steelite backs this range with

These dishes are well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, gastropubs, and contract catering operations where presentation is expected but practical durability cannot be compromised. Buying in a pack of 24 supports efficient stock rotation for busy services. For operations with significantly higher covers or more intensive throughput, a heavier-gauge or larger-format alternative may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and format fits your menu and service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Steelite Simplicity oblong roasters are alumina vitrified ceramic dishes designed for both cooking and table presentation. They are well suited to operations that want to move food directly from oven to table without transferring it to separate serving dishes — a practical approach that reduces handling, keeps food hotter for longer, and cuts washing-up during busy service periods.

In a commercial kitchen context, the thermal shock resistance of this ceramic is a genuinely useful property. Dishes can go from cold storage into a hot oven without cracking, which supports prep-ahead workflows common in restaurants, hotels, and contract catering environments. The material also retains heat reasonably well once on the table, which helps maintain food temperature during service.

From a practical standpoint, the key advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Oven-to-table presentation reduces the need for separate serveware
• Thermal shock resistance supports cold-to-oven workflows without damage
• Consistent ceramic finish is straightforward to clean and resists staining
• Pack of six supports consistent presentation across multiple covers
• The Lifetime Edge Chip warranty offers reassurance against day-to-day handling damage

These roasters are sized for sharing dishes, side servings, or individual portion roasts depending on how they are used. They are not heavy-duty roasting trays intended for repeated high-temperature roasting of large joints — operations with that kind of demand should consider whether a more robust aluminium or cast iron option would be more appropriate for the primary cooking stage, reserving these for finishing and presentation.

Well suited to restaurants, hotel dining, event catering, and any operation that values consistent table presentation. If you are unsure whether these fit your service style or portion sizes, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
