Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Dog Bistro, a popular seaside eatery in Padstow, Cornwall, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their coastal location and commitment to fresh, local ingredients. They replaced their standard plain bowls with the Churchill Isla FA678 bowls to enhance their presentation.
"Our customers constantly comment on the new bowls. They have a lovely, tactile quality and make our seafood chowder look absolutely brilliant. It's the small details like this that make a real difference to the dining experience."
David Campbell – Head Chef, The Salty Dog Bistro
The improved presentation contributed to a noticeable 15% increase in soup and starter sales in the first three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each bowl for any signs of damage during transit.
- Before their first use, run the bowls through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- Designate a specific, stable shelf for storage, ensuring they are easy to access without risk of being knocked over.
Keeping It Going
- Always use a rubber spatula or plastic scraper to remove stubborn food residue; avoid using metal cutlery which can cause marks.
- When loading into dishwasher racks, leave adequate space between items to prevent them from knocking together and chipping.
- To maintain the brilliant white finish, periodically use a de-staining solution recommended for professional porcelain.
- Always stack items of the same size and shape together for maximum stability and to prevent unnecessary stress on the pieces.

Explore more from ChurchillMore Than Just a Base: Why a Glazed Foot Matters
Ever noticed how older plates and bowls get scuffed and grey on the surface? That's often caused by stacking. Many bowls have an unglazed, slightly rough ring on the bottom. When you stack them, this rough base acts like fine sandpaper, scratching the smooth, glazed surface of the bowl beneath it. It's a slow process, but over hundreds of cycles in a busy kitchen, it ruins the finish.
The Churchill Isla white consomme bowls feature a 'glazed foot'. Think of it like putting soft felt pads on the bottom of furniture to protect a wooden floor. The base ring is also coated in a smooth, hard-wearing glaze. This means when you stack them, it's a smooth surface on a smooth surface. This simple but vital detail prevents scratches, preserves the brilliant white finish, and significantly extends the life of your tableware, protecting your investment.
