£57.70(£69.24 inc VAT)
These small earthenware tapas dishes are made in Spain from traditional terracotta and are designed to be used both for cooking and table presentation. The rustic finish and natural material give a straightforward, authentic look that suits casual Spanish dining, sharing menus, and tapas-style service formats.
In a busy service environment, the dishes can move directly from oven to table, which keeps food warmer for longer and reduces the handling involved in plating up separately. The earthenware retains heat well, making it a practical choice for dishes that benefit from staying at temperature during service — patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo, or any small hot portion that needs to hold through a table turn.
- Suitable for oven, microwave, and freezer use
- Can be served directly to the table from the oven
- Traditional terracotta construction for heat retention
- Made in Spain — authentic appearance for themed menus
- Sold in a pack of 24, suited to batch purchasing for operational stock
Being earthenware, these dishes are more fragile than porcelain or stoneware alternatives and require careful handling during washing and storage. They are not indestructible under heavy commercial use, and operators running high-turnover covers should factor in a reasonable breakage allowance when calculating stock levels. The pack of 24 helps with this.
These dishes are well suited to tapas bars, Spanish restaurants, and casual dining operations building a sharing menu. They also work for smaller hospitality venues wanting to add a rustic tableware element without committing to a full range. If you are fitting out a larger site or need a more durable everyday option, it is worth considering whether a stoneware or glazed alternative might better suit your throughput.
If you are unsure how many packs suit your cover count or how these fit alongside other tableware in your range, the team is happy to talk it through.
£54.63(£65.56 inc VAT)
These terracotta tapas dishes are made in Spain from earthenware and are designed for both cooking and table service. The traditional material and form suit Spanish and Mediterranean menus where presentation at the table is part of the dining experience. Sold in a pack of 24, they are a practical choice for operators setting up or restocking a tapas service.
Earthenware retains heat reasonably well once warmed, which helps keep food at temperature during the short window between kitchen and table. The dishes can go straight from oven or microwave to the pass, which reduces handling and simplifies service flow. They are also freezer-safe, allowing prep and storage ahead of service where useful.
- Suitable for use in oven, microwave, and freezer
- Can be used for cooking and served directly to the table
- Traditional terracotta appearance supports authentic presentation
- Pack of 24 provides practical quantity for table service operations
- Made in Spain from earthenware
Being earthenware, these dishes require a degree of care. They are more susceptible to thermal shock than porcelain or stoneware, so avoiding sudden temperature changes will extend their service life. They are not indestructible under heavy commercial use and should be considered a consumable item over time, particularly in high-turnover environments. Breakage rates are worth factoring into stock planning.
These dishes are well suited to restaurants, tapas bars, and casual dining venues running Spanish or Mediterranean menus. They work equally well in smaller operations and larger venues where the rustic aesthetic is part of the offer. If you are unsure how many to carry as working stock relative to your covers and turnover, we are happy to talk it through.
From £43.65(£52.38 inc VAT)
The Dudson Evo Tapas Dish is a small vitrified stoneware dish for sharing plates, side servings and informal table presentation. The Evo range is finished to look like hand-thrown pottery, with a textured, tactile surface that adds warmth to a table setting where plain white crockery would not. It comes in three colours, Pearl, Jet and Granite, and two sizes: 118mm in packs of 12 and 159mm in packs of 6.
Vitrified stoneware is a practical choice for commercial table service. It is denser and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, so it copes with stacking, quick clearing and repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The 118mm dish suits tapas portions, condiments and small sides. The 159mm dish gives a bigger serving area for olives, charcuterie, dips, small sides or plated amuse-bouche. Jet is a dark, neutral colourway that sets off lighter food and garnishes, Granite has a granite-effect finish, and Pearl has a pearl glaze.
- Vitrified stoneware construction for daily commercial use
- Hand-thrown pottery look suits informal, rustic and small-plates menus
- Dishwasher safe and stackable
- Three colours: Pearl, Jet and Granite
- 118mm (pack of 12, 245g each) and 159mm (pack of 6, 415g each)
Stoneware is slightly heavier than standard porcelain, which is worth bearing in mind when front-of-house staff carry several pieces at once. Operators with high cover volumes or demanding wash cycles should consider holding extra packs so dishes can rotate through the dishwasher without running short on the floor.
These dishes suit restaurants, tapas bars, wine bars, gastropubs and hotel food and beverage operations running sharing-plate or small-plates menus. If you are building a table service specification or want help with quantities for your covers, the team is happy to talk it through.
£10.71(£12.85 inc VAT)
These Olympia ramekins are made from vitrified stoneware with a glazed finish designed to replicate the warm, earthy appearance of traditional terracotta. The result is a piece that sits naturally on a tapas board or mezze spread without looking out of place alongside more rustic serving ware, while still offering the practical durability expected of professional tableware.
In busy table service, ramekins take a fair amount of handling — stacked in the kitchen, passed through dishwashers, and placed in front of guests multiple times a day. Vitrified stoneware is well suited to that kind of continuous use. It resists chipping better than standard earthenware and holds up reliably under the thermal cycling that comes with regular commercial washing.
From a practical standpoint, these ramekins work across a range of service contexts:
- Tapas and mezze service, individual portion accompaniments
- Sauces, dips, dressings, and condiments on the pass
- Dessert portions and small amuse-bouche presentations
- Mise en place prep bowls during kitchen service
The 77mm diameter makes them a standard single-portion size, easy to stack and store in quantity. They are sold in packs of six, which suits operations that want to build cover sets without committing to large case quantities upfront.
These are best suited to restaurants, bistros, and casual dining venues where the rustic aesthetic fits the style of service. For higher-volume operations or venues running more formal tableware, alternative finishes and sizes are available across the range.
If you are putting together a tableware set or need to match an existing service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£16.44(£19.73 inc VAT)
These Olympia Rustic Mediterranean dishes are shallow stoneware serving pieces with a terracotta-effect finish. Designed for table service of tapas, mezze, olives, dips, and small side dishes, they bring a rustic, informal aesthetic to the table without sacrificing the durability required in a working kitchen environment.
Despite their traditional appearance, these dishes are made from vitrified stoneware rather than actual terracotta clay. That distinction matters in a busy service — vitrified stoneware is significantly harder, less porous, and more resistant to chipping than unglazed earthenware. They hold up well to the daily handling, stacking, and warewashing cycles that tableware in a commercial setting must endure.
For operators running tapas menus, sharing plates, or mezze-style service, consistency of presentation across the table matters. Selling in packs of six supports practical batch purchasing and makes it straightforward to build and replenish a uniform cover set over time.
- Rustic terracotta finish suits informal dining and sharing plate concepts
- Vitrified stoneware construction — more durable than standard earthenware
- Suitable for dips, olives, small sides, and tapas-style sharing dishes
- Sold in packs of six to support batch purchasing and cover building
- Compatible with standard commercial warewashing
These dishes are best suited to restaurants, bars, and casual dining operations with a Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or sharing-plate concept. They are a practical size for individual portions within a shared spread. For operators needing larger serving dishes or platters for table-centre use, a bigger format from the same range may be more appropriate.
If you are building out a full tableware set or matching these with other pieces in the Olympia range, we are happy to help you work through quantities and formats before you order.
£43.69(£52.43 inc VAT)
These 100mm terracotta tapas dishes are made in Spain from earthenware in the traditional style used for authentic tapas service. Small, shallow, and rustic in appearance, they are equally at home in the oven, microwave, or freezer, and can go straight from the kitchen to the table — which is how they are intended to be used.
In a busy tapas or sharing-plate environment, the ability to cook, hold, and serve in the same dish reduces handling, speeds up pass times, and keeps food warmer for longer once on the table. The earthenware material retains heat well, which suits smaller portions that would otherwise cool quickly on a conventional plate. The rustic finish also adds to the presentation without any extra effort from front-of-house.
- Cook-to-table format reduces wash-up and handling at the pass
- Earthenware retains heat, keeping small portions warmer for longer
- Rustic terracotta finish suits Spanish, Mediterranean, and sharing-plate menus
- Oven, microwave, and freezer-safe for flexible kitchen use
- Pack of 24 provides practical opening stock for a mid-sized tapas operation
These dishes are a practical fit for Spanish restaurants, tapas bars, and any venue running a sharing-plate format. A pack of 24 is a reasonable starting quantity for a mid-sized section, though higher-volume operations or those running multiple sittings per service may want to consider ordering additional packs to allow for breakages and turnover in the wash.
If you are setting up a tapas concept and want to talk through quantities or how these fit alongside other tableware, the team is happy to help.
£72.50(£87.00 inc VAT)
These earthenware tapas dishes are made in Spain and intended for traditional tapas service. Each dish is 150mm in diameter — a practical size for individual portions of olives, patatas bravas, chorizo, or similar small plates. The pack contains 24 pieces, which suits a reasonable level of cover turnover without requiring constant re-runs to the kitchen.
In service, the earthenware construction holds heat reasonably well once warmed, which helps keep food at temperature on the table. The dishes can go from oven or microwave straight to the pass, reducing the need for transfer plating and keeping the presentation consistent throughout service. They are also freezer-safe, which allows for pre-portioned preparations to be held and finished to order.
- Suitable for oven, microwave and freezer use
- Goes direct from kitchen to table for authentic presentation
- Earthenware construction retains warmth during service
- Consistent 150mm sizing supports portion control
- Pack of 24 provides a practical opening stock for tapas menus
As with all unglazed or partially glazed earthenware, these dishes will benefit from careful handling during washing — commercial dishwashers can be used, but the long-term appearance of any rustic finish will depend on water hardness and detergent strength. It is worth running a small test batch before committing to full-service volume. Storage space for 24 pieces should also be factored in, as earthenware stacks less compactly than standard ceramic.
These dishes are well suited to tapas bars, Spanish restaurants, and any operation running a small plates or sharing menu where presentation in the cooking vessel is part of the offer. For higher-volume sites needing larger quantities, it is worth considering whether a bigger pack size would reduce the frequency of reordering.
If you are building out a tapas table service and want to talk through quantities or presentation options, the team is happy to help.
£56.71(£68.05 inc VAT)
The Utopia Estrella tapas dish is a round, shallow porcelain dish designed for tapas-style table service. The matte black finish gives a clean, contemporary look on the table, and the shape is well suited to small portion presentation — ideal for sharing plates, antipasti, condiments, or any service style where food goes from kitchen to table in the same vessel.
Porcelain construction means these dishes hold up well in a busy kitchen environment. They can go directly from a conventional oven or microwave to the table, or be held in the freezer beforehand for cold tapas service. That flexibility is useful in kitchens where food prep and plating need to move quickly during service periods. The consistent black glaze across the range means dishes from this collection coordinate easily on the table without needing to be matched individually.
- Oven, microwave, and freezer safe for flexible kitchen use
- Matte black porcelain finish suitable for contemporary table presentation
- Shallow dish profile well suited to small portions and sharing plates
- Supplied in a pack of eight — practical for covers-based ordering
- Part of a coordinated range for consistent table presentation
These dishes are a straightforward smallware purchase, but it is worth considering how many covers you are running and what breakage rate you typically experience before settling on quantity. For high-turnover casual dining sites, ordering in multiples of the pack size from the outset tends to be more cost-effective than topping up frequently.
If you are fitting out a new tapas concept or expanding an existing range, the team is happy to help you think through quantities and presentation — just get in touch before you order.
£22.48(£26.98 inc VAT)
These Olympia Rustic Mediterranean dishes are stoneware tableware designed to present tapas, mezze, side dishes and sharing plates with an authentic terracotta appearance. Despite the handcrafted rustic aesthetic, they are made from vitrified stoneware rather than true terracotta, which gives them the practical durability expected in a busy food service environment.
In practice, that distinction matters. Vitrified stoneware is denser and less porous than traditional terracotta, making these dishes more resistant to chipping, staining and moisture absorption during regular service and washing cycles. They carry the visual warmth of Mediterranean earthenware without the fragility that genuine terracotta can present in a high-turnover setting.
- Suitable for front-of-house tapas, mezze and small plate presentation
- Vitrified stoneware construction resists chipping and staining in daily service
- Rustic finish supports informal dining and sharing-style menu formats
- Consistent sizing across the pack helps standardise portion presentation
- Suitable for dishwasher use in commercial operations
These dishes are well suited to casual dining restaurants, tapas bars, wine bars and gastropubs running sharing-plate or small plates menus. They work equally well as a side dish vessel in larger restaurants where the aesthetic fits the table setting. If you are equipping a high-volume site or need a larger surface area for presentation purposes, it is worth considering whether a different size or format would better suit your menu.
If you are putting together a full table service range or matching these with other Olympia pieces, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you build a consistent set.
£22.55(£27.06 inc VAT)
These 130mm porcelain tapas dishes from Utopia's Titan collection are a practical choice for restaurants, bars, and casual dining operations serving shared plates, mezze, or small portions. Each dish is made from super-vitrified porcelain, which gives the ware greater resistance to chipping and crazing compared with standard porcelain — a meaningful difference in a busy front-of-house environment where dishes are handled repeatedly throughout service.
The shallow profile and 130mm diameter make these dishes well suited to individual portions of olives, bread, dips, small salads, or similar sharing-plate components. They stack cleanly, which helps with storage and transport between the pass and the table. The plain white finish works alongside most tableware schemes without clashing, and the vitrified glaze holds its appearance through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles.
Practically speaking, a pack of six is a useful starting quantity for trialling a sharing-plate menu, though most operators running tapas or mezze covers at any volume will require several packs to maintain adequate supply through a full service. The dishes are oven-safe, which adds some flexibility for operations that want to present dishes warm at the table.
If you are building out a larger sharing-plate programme or want to discuss how these fit alongside other table service pieces, the team is happy to help you work through quantities and presentation options.
£12.34(£14.81 inc VAT)
The APS Mumbai Small Serving Pot is a compact stainless steel pot finished with a copper-look exterior and a decorative hammered surface. It is designed for table service and buffet presentation, holding individual or small shared portions of sides, sauces, dips, or tapas-style dishes. Two handles allow front-of-house staff to carry it comfortably to and from the table or pass-through.
In service, the pot works well where presentation consistency matters — tapas menus, sharing boards, or buffet stations where individual portions are plated to order or set out in advance. The hammered finish gives each piece a degree of visual character that tends to suit informal dining, street food-style menus, and contemporary bistro settings. Being stainless steel throughout, it cleans quickly and holds up reliably under regular service use.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Copper-look hammered finish adds table presence without requiring specialist servingware
- Twin handles allow easy handling during service and clearing
- Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to clean
- Compact footprint works well on small covers and sharing boards
- Consistent presentation across a set keeps buffet and tapas displays looking ordered
There are no installation requirements — the pot is a standalone piece of servingware. It is not designed for direct heat use, so food should be portioned into the pot from the kitchen rather than heated within it. If you are equipping a larger buffet operation or need a higher-capacity version of this format, other sizes within the Mumbai range may be worth considering.
If you are putting together a full tapas or sharing menu and want to discuss which sizes and quantities would suit your cover count and service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
£12.34(£14.81 inc VAT)
The APS Mumbai Small Serving Pot is a compact stainless steel pot designed for table service and buffet presentation. Its copper-look exterior and hammered finish give it a warm, textured appearance that works well alongside rustic, informal, or contemporary table settings. Twin handles make it straightforward to carry between kitchen and table without awkward gripping.
In service, this pot is well suited to individual or small shared portions — tapas, condiments, dips, warm sauces, or small sides. At 115mm in diameter it takes up minimal table or counter space, making it practical where covers are close together or buffet layouts are tight. The stainless steel construction holds up to repeated use and standard commercial washing.
- Compact footprint suits tight covers and buffet lines
- Copper-look hammered finish adds character to informal table settings
- Twin handles allow safe, easy transport during service
- Stainless steel construction withstands regular commercial use
- Consistent sizing across the Mumbai range supports uniform presentation
There are no electrical or installation requirements. These pots can go straight into service and are suitable for front-of-house use in restaurants, bistros, tapas bars, and catered events. If you are equipping a full buffet or large event operation, it is worth considering whether you need a larger capacity pot from elsewhere in the Mumbai range.
If you are putting together a table service collection or want to talk through how these fit within a wider tableware scheme, the team is happy to help.
£21.99(£26.39 inc VAT)
This small serving pot from APS is a straightforward aluminium dish designed for presenting food at the table. The brass handles are practical as well as decorative, keeping fingers away from hot food and giving waiting staff a secure grip when placing dishes in front of guests. At 0.6 litres it is well suited to individual portions — tapas, side dishes, appetisers, dips, or small desserts.
In a busy table service environment, a consistent set of serving vessels makes a difference to how food is presented and how efficiently it moves from kitchen to cover. This pot handles repeated daily use without issue; aluminium is lightweight, hard-wearing, and straightforward to clean between services.
Practical points worth noting: aluminium is not suitable for induction heating, so this pot is for serving rather than cooking or holding on a heat source. It is also not intended for oven use. If you need a vessel that can go from preparation through to service, a different material would be more appropriate.
This pot is a practical choice for restaurants, bars, and cafés running tapas menus, sharing plates, or table service with individual portions. If your operation requires larger serving vessels or pieces that can go into the oven, there are alternative sizes and materials in the APS range worth considering.
If you are putting together a full table service set or have questions about quantities for a new menu concept, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£21.09(£25.31 inc VAT)
This small serving pot from APS is a straightforward piece of tableware designed for presenting appetisers, tapas, sharing portions, and side dishes at the table. Constructed from aluminium with brass handles, it offers a simple, consistent look that works well across informal dining, bar snacks, and sharing-style menus.
In a busy front-of-house environment, pieces like this need to be lightweight enough for quick, repeated handling and robust enough to withstand daily service without showing wear too quickly. The aluminium construction keeps the weight low, and the fixed brass handles give waiting staff a confident grip when carrying to the table or passing between covers.
- Lightweight aluminium construction suits high-turnover table service
- Brass handles provide a secure grip during service
- Consistent styling across a range makes it easy to build a cohesive table presentation
- Straightforward to wipe down and return to service quickly
- Well suited to tapas menus, sharing starters, and informal dining formats
As a surface-presented item, there are no installation requirements to consider. It is worth checking compatibility with your warewasher before committing to quantity, as brass fittings can discolour with repeated high-temperature machine washing — hand washing is generally recommended to preserve the finish over time.
This pot is best suited to casual dining operations, tapas bars, and hospitality venues running sharing-style menus. It is a single-size piece, so operators needing a range of portion sizes may want to look at other options within the APS serving range to build a consistent set.
If you are equipping a new concept or looking to standardise tableware across multiple covers, the team are happy to help you work out quantities and coordinate with other pieces in the range.
