Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Salted Quay', a popular seafood restaurant in Whitby, North Yorkshire, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their coastal location and high-end menu. They felt their old white plates were functional but lacked personality and didn't do justice to their chefs' beautifully presented dishes.
"The moment we saw these Churchill stone coupe plates, we knew they were the ones. The aquamarine colour is reminiscent of the North Sea on a summer's day. Our fish dishes, in particular, look absolutely incredible against the blue. Customers constantly ask where our plates are from."
Robert Miller – Owner, The Salted Quay
Since introducing the new plates, the restaurant has noted a significant uptick in customers photographing their food and sharing it online, effectively boosting their organic marketing reach.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust.
- Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage that can handle the weight of stacked porcelain.
Keeping It Going
- When stacking, avoid sliding plates out from the middle of the stack; lift from the top to prevent scuffing.
- To prevent thermal shock, avoid moving plates directly from a hot oven or dishwasher to a cold surface.
- Although dishwasher safe, ensure proper loading to prevent plates from knocking against each other during the cycle.
- Rinse off acidic food residues like lemon or vinegar before washing to protect the glaze over the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a 'coupe' plate?
A: A coupe plate is a rimless plate with a slight, gentle curve up to the edge. It provides a larger, uninterrupted surface area for plating, ideal for modern food presentation.
Q: Is the pattern exactly the same on every single plate?
A: No. The beauty of the Churchill Stonecast range is its reactive glaze, which means there are subtle, unique variations in the pattern and colour of each piece, giving it a hand-finished look.
Q: Can these plates handle the heat of a commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. They are designed specifically for the rigours of professional kitchens and are fully commercial dishwasher safe.
Q: Why is a 'glazed foot' important?
A: A glazed foot is a smooth, finished base that prevents the plate from scratching the one below it when stacked. It's a key feature for maintaining the quality and appearance of your crockery.
Q: Is the porcelain prone to absorbing stains or odours?
A: No. These plates are made from super vitrified porcelain, which is non-porous. This means it won't absorb moisture, food colours, or odours.
Q: Will the beautiful aquamarine colour fade over time with washing?
A: No. The design is protected by a superior, tough glaze, ensuring the vibrant colour is sealed in and will not fade from repeated washing.
Q: Are these plates heavy to carry for waiting staff?
A: They are designed to be robust and have a quality feel, but are well-balanced and standard weight for professional-grade porcelain, making them perfectly manageable for service.
Q: Can I use these for both hot and cold dishes?
A: Yes, they have excellent thermal retention, making them ideal for serving everything from a hot main course to a chilled dessert.

Explore more from ChurchillWhy a 'Glazed Foot' is a Small Detail with a Big Impact
Ever noticed the rough, unglazed ring on the bottom of cheaper plates? That's the foot, and when it's unglazed, it acts like sandpaper, scratching the plate underneath it every time you stack them. Over time, this ruins the finish and appearance of your entire collection. Churchill's 'glazed foot' completely solves this problem.
Think of it like putting felt pads on the bottom of furniture to protect a wooden floor. The smooth, glazed base glides over the surface of the plate below it, preventing scratches and scuffs. It's a small, thoughtful detail that drastically extends the life and good looks of your restaurant stoneware coupe plates, protecting your investment and keeping your tableware looking flawless for years.
