Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth decided to overhaul their tableware. They needed something that reflected their coastal location and their commitment to high-quality, modern British seafood dishes, replacing their plain white plates.
"We fell in love with the Stonecast Indigo Blue plates immediately. They echo the colours of the sea and make our food look absolutely spectacular. They're also incredibly tough; we've been using them for six months through a busy summer season without a single chip."
Oliver Davies – Proprietor
Since introducing the new plates, the restaurant has seen a noticeable lift in positive online reviews mentioning the beautiful presentation of their food.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- On delivery, carefully check each plate to ensure they've arrived in perfect condition.
- Always run your new plates through a hot wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before first use.
- Stack plates of the same size together; the fully glazed foot helps prevent scratches between items.
Keeping It Going
- To maintain the beautiful glaze, avoid using harsh, abrasive scourers or steel wool.
- Pre-soak plates with stubborn food residue in a detergent solution before washing.
- Although very durable, try to avoid extreme temperature changes, like moving a plate from a hot pass directly into cold water.
- Regularly check for any chips and remove damaged items from service to ensure food safety.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Does 'Super Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
Ever wondered what makes some crockery tougher than others? It's all in the 'vitrification'. Think of it like turning sand into glass. Churchill fires their ceramic at incredibly high temperatures, which makes the material itself super dense and strong. More importantly, this process seals it, making it non-porous. This means it can't absorb water or food particles, which is what causes cheaper plates to weaken, stain, or get those annoying hairline cracks (crazing) after lots of washes. So, 'Super Vitrified' is your guarantee of a hygienic plate that stays strong and looks great, wash after wash.
