Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Spoon, a bustling café in the heart of York, decided to replace their tired, chipped porcelain to better match their newly refurbished, cosy interior. They needed something that felt special but could handle hundreds of cycles through the dishwasher each week.
"We wanted our crockery to feel as carefully chosen as our coffee beans. The Churchill saucers were perfect. Customers constantly comment on how lovely they are, and they feel incredibly sturdy. It's a small detail that has made a huge difference to our table presentation."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Gilded Spoon
The upgrade resulted in a noticeable increase in positive customer feedback regarding atmosphere and presentation, reinforcing the café's premium identity.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, inspect all saucers for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before first use.
- Ensure your cappuccino cups sit securely in the saucer's well to prevent spills.
Keeping It Going
- When loading into a dishwasher, avoid overcrowding to prevent chipping and ensure a thorough clean.
- The vitrified body is durable, but avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., from a hot oven to cold water) to prevent thermal shock.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, especially around the rim, and remove any damaged items from service.
- The fully glazed foot allows for safe stacking without scratching the saucer below.

Explore more from ChurchillThe Secret Behind That Unique, Tough Finish
Ever wondered what 'vitrified ceramic' and 'reactive glaze' actually mean for your business? Think of it like this. 'Vitrification' is a process where the ceramic is fired at an incredibly high temperature until it becomes glass-like and non-porous. This means it won't absorb water, flavours, or odours, and more importantly, it makes the Churchill DR689 iron black cappuccino saucer exceptionally strong and resistant to chipping – a must-have in a commercial kitchen. It’s like giving your crockery a suit of armour.
The 'reactive glaze' is where the magic happens. It’s a special glaze formula that reacts uniquely to the heat in the kiln. This reaction creates subtle, one-of-a-kind patterns and textures on every single piece. So, instead of a flat, uniform colour, you get a collection of saucers that look handcrafted, adding instant rustic character to your tables without any two being identical.
