Product Description
These 240mm square plates from Olympia's Whiteware range are a straightforward, practical tableware choice for commercial catering operations. Made from fully vitrified porcelain, they offer a clean, pure white finish that suits a wide range of food presentations without the need for elaborate styling.
Vitrification is worth noting here — it means the porcelain body has been fired to a point where it becomes non-porous, which significantly improves glaze durability and resistance to staining over repeated wash cycles. In a commercial setting where plates pass through an industrial dishwasher multiple times daily, that durability matters. The rolled, strengthened edges also help reduce chipping during normal handling and stacking, which is one of the more common sources of crockery attrition in busy kitchens.
- Chip-resistant rolled edges reduce breakage during handling and clearing
- Fully vitrified body maintains glaze appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles
- Stackable design helps keep storage space manageable
- Safe for oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer use
- Neutral white finish works across varied menu styles and presentations
The 240mm size is a practical main-course plate for casual dining, hotel buffets, staff canteens, and café menus. It's a versatile format that handles most plated dishes without feeling oversized. For venues serving larger portions or more elaborate plated mains, there are larger square plate options within the Whiteware range worth considering.
If you're putting together a full tableware specification or need to match these to other pieces in the Olympia Whiteware range, we're happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The fully vitrified porcelain body is specifically suited to repeated high-temperature wash cycles, helping the glaze resist dulling and staining over time. In normal commercial use — clearing, stacking, and washing multiple times per service — they perform reliably, though as with any crockery, careful handling during clearing and plating will extend their working life.
- For most casual dining and café menus, 240mm is a practical main-course size. It provides sufficient plate surface for standard portion presentation without feeling oversized. If your menu leans towards larger portions or more elaborate plated dishes, it's worth considering a larger format from the same range.
- Yes, the square format and neutral white finish make them adaptable across most service styles. They're commonly used in hotel dining, canteens, and casual restaurants. Because they stack efficiently and are dishwasher safe, they also work well in high-turnover buffet and cafeteria environments where crockery is cycled quickly through service.
