Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Wild Fork, a popular bistro in the heart of Bristol, wanted to refresh their dining experience to complement a menu overhaul. They needed tableware that was as beautiful and unique as their dishes, moving away from plain white porcelain.
"We searched for ages to find plates that felt special but could handle a busy service. The Churchill Studio Prints Raku plates were perfect. The green is so vibrant and our food has never looked better. Customers constantly comment on them, which is fantastic."
Ben Carter – Head Chef & Owner
Since introducing the plates, the bistro has noted a significant rise in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation and overall ambiance.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the plates through a wash cycle to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- When stacking, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift them directly up to protect the glaze and foot.
- Store on professional, non-abrasive shelving to minimise the risk of accidental chips or scratches.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are fully commercial dishwasher safe. Use a professional-grade detergent for best results.
- To avoid thermal shock, allow plates to cool gradually after washing before stacking or using for cold food.
- The superior glaze is highly resistant to staining, but rinse off acidic or strongly coloured foods if plates will sit for hours before washing.
- Regularly check for any damage. The 5-year edge chip warranty provides cover for professional use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 'Raku' style inspired by?
A: It's inspired by a traditional Japanese pottery technique where a reactive glaze creates unique, unpredictable patterns during firing. Each piece in the Churchill Raku collection has a distinct finish, giving it an authentic, handcrafted feel.
Q: Will every plate in a box look exactly the same?
A: Due to the reactive glazing process, there will be subtle variations in the pattern and colour tone of each plate. This is an intentional design feature that enhances their unique, artisan charm.
Q: Are these plates suitable for a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed for the rigours of a professional kitchen and are fully commercial dishwasher safe.
Q: Can I use these plates in a microwave?
A: Yes, Churchill's vitrified porcelain is microwave safe, making it easy to reheat dishes when needed.
Q: What is a 'coupe' style plate?
A: A coupe plate features a simple, rimless, concave shape. This design provides a larger, uninterrupted surface area for plating food, offering a modern and elegant presentation.
Q: What does 'fully glazed foot' mean?
A: It means the bottom ring of the plate is sealed with glaze. This prevents the abrasive, unglazed base from scratching the surface of the plate below it when stacked, protecting your investment.
Q: How many plates are in one box?
A: These are sold in a box of 12 plates.
Q: Is the pattern printed on top of the glaze?
A: No, it's an underglaze decoration. This means the pattern is applied before the final glaze, sealing it in permanently. It will not fade, scratch, or wear off over time.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Does 'Super Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You see 'Super Vitrified Porcelain' listed, but what does it really mean? Think of it like baking a cake, but for pottery, and at incredibly high temperatures (over 1100°C). This process, called vitrification, melts the clay particles together, fusing them into a single, glass-like layer. This completely removes any tiny pores or gaps in the material.
The result? The plate becomes non-porous, meaning it won't absorb water, grease, or odours. This makes it far more hygienic, stronger, and resistant to the thermal shock of going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf. It’s this process that gives Churchill plates their legendary toughness and long life in a professional kitchen.
