Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Walled Garden in Chester, a popular bistro known for its modern British cuisine, wanted to refresh its tableware to better reflect its vibrant, seasonal menu. Their existing white plates felt a little plain and didn't do justice to the colourful dishes being created by the kitchen.
"We needed something with personality that was still tough enough for service. The moment we saw the Churchill Stonecast Berry Red coupe plate, we knew it was the one. The colour is stunning and our food has never looked better. It's amazing what a difference a plate can make."
Robert Evans – Head Chef
Since introducing the new plates, the bistro reports a significant increase in customers photographing and sharing their meals on social media, boosting their online visibility organically.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any transit damage.
- Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with detergent before their first use.
- Ensure you have adequate and secure shelving for storage, away from high-traffic areas.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are fully commercial dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- To prevent thermal shock (cracking from sudden temperature changes), avoid moving plates directly from a hot oven or dishwasher to a cold surface.
- The glazed foot allows for safe stacking. Stack them neatly to avoid putting pressure on the edges.
- Although tough, avoid using abrasive scourers which could dull the beautiful glazed finish over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How unique is the 'hand-finished' design on each plate?
A: Each plate has a unique application of the coloured glaze and speckle, so no two are exactly identical. This creates a charming, rustic effect, but the overall size, shape, and colour are consistent.
Q: Can these plates handle the heat of a commercial plate warmer?
A: Yes, being fully vitrified, they are designed to withstand the temperatures of standard commercial plate warmers and hot holding units.
Q: Is the colour likely to fade after many washes in a commercial dishwasher?
A: No. The pattern is applied under the glaze, not on top of it. This protects the colour from fading, even with constant, high-temperature washing.
Q: Are these plates heavy?
A: They have a reassuring weight that communicates quality to the customer, but they are not overly heavy, making them easy for staff to handle during a busy service.
Q: What is a 'coupe' plate?
A: A coupe plate has a gentle, continuous curve from the base to the edge, without a separate rim. This style is modern and excellent for presenting dishes with sauces.
Q: Can I use sharp knives on this plate without scratching it?
A: The glaze is extremely hard-wearing and resistant to normal cutlery scratching. However, serrated steak knives may cause marking over time, as with most ceramic plates.
Q: Is the glazed foot really effective at preventing scratches?
A: Absolutely. It creates a smooth surface where the plate rests, preventing the rougher ceramic base from scratching the plate below it in a stack.
Q: Are these plates lead and cadmium free?
A: Yes, Churchill products are manufactured to meet all global standards for food safety, including regulations regarding lead and cadmium.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean For Your Kitchen?
Ever wondered what makes some crockery tougher than others? It often comes down to being 'fully vitrified'. Think of standard ceramic like a very dense sponge – it has microscopic pores that can absorb water, oils, and bacteria over time. Vitrification is a process where the ceramic is fired at an incredibly high temperature until it essentially melts and fuses together, closing off all those tiny pores. The result is a material that’s non-porous, just like glass. This means it won't absorb flavours or odours, is far more resistant to chipping and cracking, and is much more hygienic. It's the secret sauce that gives this commercial-grade plate its strength and longevity.
