Olympia Whiteware 1/2 Gastronorm Dish

This is a half-size 1/2 gastronorm porcelain dish from Olympia's Whiteware range, in white and available in three depths: 30mm, 65mm and 100mm. It is made to the standard 1/2 GN footprint, so it fits conventional gastronorm-compatible buffet frames, chafing units, chilled counters and display units, and can move directly from refrigerator storage to a buffet or service counter without a transfer to separate serveware.

Porcelain gastronorm dishes are commonly used in hotel buffets, carvery operations and catered events where presentation matters alongside practicality. The white finish gives food a clean, neutral backdrop for salads, cold cuts, antipasti, desserts and sides.

• Three depths, 30mm, 65mm and 100mm, chosen from the dropdown
• Fits standard 1/2 GN frames, display units and chilled counters
• White porcelain finish suits buffet and counter presentation
• The shallow 30mm keeps food visible and accessible for self-service, the 100mm offers more capacity
• Stackable for straightforward storage between service periods
• Easy to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

Porcelain is heavier than stainless steel and more vulnerable to chipping if dropped or mishandled, so handling matters in a busy service. Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock. For high-volume lines that need something more resilient, a stainless steel gastronorm pan may be the more practical choice.

The dishes suit hotels, restaurants and event caterers running buffet or self-service operations where front-of-house presentation matters. If you are building out a buffet setup and are unsure which combination of depths will suit your display equipment, we are happy to help you work through it.
