Product Description
This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm dish in porcelain, finished in white and sized at 65mm depth. Unlike the stainless steel gastronorms found in most professional kitchens, porcelain gastronorms are designed specifically for front-of-house use — presenting food cleanly and without the functional, utilitarian look of a standard preparation vessel.
In practice, these dishes work well where food needs to move directly from a chilled prep environment to a buffet counter or table display. The porcelain construction holds temperature reasonably well in chilled settings and presents food in a way that suits hotels, event catering, carvery operations, and staff dining facilities. The white finish is neutral enough to work with most table or buffet presentations without drawing attention away from the food.
- Moves from fridge to buffet counter without the need to transfer food to separate serveware
- Consistent white finish suits both formal buffet and informal self-service settings
- Standard 1/1 GN sizing fits most chilled display cabinets and gastronorm storage systems
- Porcelain surface is straightforward to clean and does not retain odours
- Works as part of a coordinated set when multiple GN sizes are in use
It is worth noting that porcelain is not suited to direct oven use or high-heat applications — this dish is designed for cold and ambient service rather than hot holding or cooking. For operations that need a gastronorm dish to go from oven to pass to table, a different material would be more appropriate. The 65mm depth suits standard portion quantities for buffet service but may not be sufficient for operations serving high volumes from a single vessel.
This dish is best suited to hospitality operations, event caterers, hotels, and buffet-style restaurants where presentation at the point of service matters. For those running larger covers or needing deeper capacity, the wider Olympia Whiteware gastronorm range includes alternative sizes worth considering alongside this one.
If you are unsure whether this size and depth is right for your service format, the team is happy to talk through your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — porcelain gastronorm dishes are designed for cold and ambient service rather than direct heat. They are not suitable for oven cooking or hot holding applications. If you need a gastronorm that can go from oven to service, a stainless steel or suitable ceramic alternative would be more appropriate.
- This dish follows the standard 1/1 GN format, which is compatible with the vast majority of commercial chilled display cabinets, gastronorm fridges, and buffet counters designed to accept full-size GN pans. If your cabinet uses a non-standard format, it is worth checking the internal dimensions before ordering.
- For most standard buffet applications — salads, cold meats, desserts, and similar portions — 65mm is a practical working depth. For operations serving high volumes from a single vessel over a long service period, a deeper dish may reduce how frequently the vessel needs replenishing. The Olympia Whiteware range includes alternative depths if a larger capacity is needed.
