Expert Review and Insights
The Churchill Profile range is a true workhorse in a designer's outfit. It strikes that rare, perfect balance between delicate, contemporary aesthetics and the brute strength needed for back-of-house reality. The deep coupe shape is particularly popular right now, and for good reason—it frames food beautifully without the interruption of a rim.

- Best Feature: The 5-year edge chip warranty is a genuine commercial advantage, not just marketing fluff.
- A Consideration: The deep design might lead to sauce pooling if not plated carefully.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Plymouth was looking to refresh its entire tableware collection to match a recent coastal-themed refurbishment. They needed plates that were not only stylish but could withstand hundreds of covers a week without showing wear and tear.
"We switched to the Churchill DA736 plates six months ago, and the difference is night and day. They look fantastic, our chefs love plating on them, and we haven't had a single chip. Our old plates would have shown significant wear by now, but these still look brand new."
Robert Davies – Restaurant Manager
The bistro has seen a measurable drop in breakage-related costs and reports that the new presentation has significantly enhanced the guest dining experience.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack carefully and inspect each plate for any transit damage before first use.
- Give all plates a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
- Ensure you have adequate, sturdy shelving that can handle the weight of stacked porcelain.
- Brief staff on correct handling to take full advantage of the edge chip warranty.
Keeping It Going
- When loading into a dishwasher, avoid letting plates knock against each other.
- Don't expose plates to extreme and sudden temperature changes (e.g., from a hot oven to cold water).
- Stack plates of the same size together. The fully glazed foot prevents scratching.
- For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cream cleaner rather than harsh scouring pads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates microwave safe?
A: Yes, Churchill's vitrified porcelain is designed to be safe for use in commercial microwaves for reheating.
Q: What exactly is 'vitrified' porcelain?
A: It's a type of ceramic that has been fired at an extremely high temperature, making it non-porous, exceptionally durable, and resistant to moisture and bacteria.
Q: What does the 5-Year Edge Chip Warranty cover?
A: It covers chipping to the edge of the plate that occurs during normal food service use, including washing and storage. It doesn't cover breakages from being dropped.
Q: What is a 'coupe' plate?
A: A coupe plate has a smooth, shallow, rimless design that curves up from the base. It offers a larger, uninterrupted surface area for plating compared to traditional rimmed plates.
Q: Is the price for one plate or the full box?
A: This product, Churchill DA736, is sold as a box of 12 plates.
Q: How resistant are they to cutlery scratches?
A: The superior glaze finish is specifically engineered to be highly resistant to metal marking and scratches from everyday cutlery use.
Q: Are these plates heavy?
A: As professional-grade vitrified porcelain, they have a satisfying heft which speaks to their durability, but they are ergonomically designed for service.
Q: Can I use these plates in a heated plate warmer?
A: Absolutely. They are designed to withstand the temperatures of commercial plate warming units.
The Churchill Promise: A Legacy on Your Table
Choosing Churchill tableware is about more than just buying plates; it's an investment in a legacy of British manufacturing excellence.

This long-term reliability protects your brand's image and saves you money by drastically reducing the need for replacements. It’s the confidence of knowing your tableware will look just as good on its thousandth service as it did on its first, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: the food and the customer experience.
Explore more from ChurchillWhy a 'Fully Glazed Foot' Matters
Ever noticed those rough, unglazed rings on the bottom of cheaper plates that scratch your tables or other plates when stacked? A 'fully glazed foot' is the simple but brilliant solution. Churchill glazes the entire base of the plate, leaving it completely smooth and non-abrasive. Think of it like putting felt pads on the bottom of furniture – it's a small detail that prevents a lot of damage. This means when you stack your clean Profile Deep Coupe Plates, they won't grind against or scratch the surface of the plate below, keeping your entire collection looking pristine for years, not months.
