Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Orchard Rooms in Bath, Somerset, was looking to refresh its tableware to better reflect its modern British menu. They needed plates that were not only stylish and unique but could also withstand the demands of a fully-booked service, seven days a week.

"Our old plates were just... plates. These Churchill Bamboo plates are part of the experience. We've had so many guests comment on them. They just frame the food beautifully and feel incredibly high quality, which reflects on us."

James Peterson – Head Chef

By switching, they saw a noticeable drop in breakages and chipping, leading to a 25% reduction in their annual crockery replacement budget.

More Than a Finish: What Churchill's Eco Glaze Actually Does

When you see 'Eco Glaze', it's easy to think it's just about a nice shine. In reality, it’s one of the plate’s most important features for a busy kitchen. This specially developed glaze acts like a microscopic shield across the entire surface of the porcelain. Think of it like the super-tough gorilla glass on a smartphone screen; it’s engineered to resist the daily onslaught of metal cutlery, industrial dishwashers, and accidental knocks. This means the brilliant white surface is far less likely to suffer from those ugly grey cutlery scratches or absorb stains from vibrant sauces like beetroot or turmeric. It keeps this sustainable bamboo dining plate looking box-fresh for much, much longer, protecting your investment and ensuring a flawless presentation every time.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
Give them a good wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
Familiarise your team with the new plates, particularly the footed design for handling and carrying.

Keeping It Going

While extremely durable, avoid using abrasive scouring pads which can dull the glaze over time.
Stack carefully, ensuring plates are nested securely to protect the edges and the raised foot.
Load into dishwasher racks correctly to ensure a thorough clean without plates knocking against each other.
Regularly check the edges for any chips; the 5-year warranty is there to protect your investment.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure which plate is the perfect partner for your menu? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Material Matters

Porcelain, like this Churchill bamboo plate, offers fantastic durability and heat retention, making it a go-to for most restaurants. It's the reliable workhorse of the tableware world.

Check the Warranty

A long edge chip warranty, like Churchill's 5-year guarantee, isn't a gimmick. It’s a sign of the manufacturer's confidence and a promise of long-term value for your business.

Frame Your Food

Think of the plate as the frame for your culinary art. A unique shape or texture can elevate a dish from 'great' to 'unforgettable'. White is a classic choice as it makes colours pop.

Analyse Your Storage

Before you buy, consider your shelf space. Uniquely shaped or footed plates might require different stacking techniques or a little more height between shelves than standard flat plates.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

In a professional kitchen, time is money. Always ensure your chosen tableware is fully vitrified and certified dishwasher safe for fast, hygienic turnarounds during a busy service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates genuinely strong enough for a busy restaurant?

A: Absolutely. They are made from Churchill's Super Vitrified Porcelain, which is specifically engineered for the hospitality industry and comes with a 5-year edge chip warranty for extra peace of mind.

Q: What does the 5-year edge chip warranty actually cover?

A: It covers chipping on the rim of the plate that occurs under normal food service conditions. It's a testament to the product's incredible durability.

Q: Are these plates stackable?

A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable. However, due to the footed design which adds height, they will stack taller than a standard flat plate, so you may need to adjust your shelf heights.

Q: Is the price for a single plate or a box?

A: This product is sold in a box of 12 plates, which is ideal for kitting out a commercial kitchen or replacing stock.

Q: Will the embossed bamboo pattern trap food or be difficult to clean?

A: No, the pattern is designed to be shallow and is sealed under the tough eco-glaze, making the surface smooth, non-porous, and perfectly easy to clean in a standard dishwasher.

Q: Are the plates microwave safe?

A: Yes, Churchill's Super Vitrified porcelain is designed to be safe for use in a commercial microwave.

Q: What exactly is 'vitrified' porcelain?

A: Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, causing it to become non-porous and extremely durable. This prevents it from absorbing moisture or odours and makes it much stronger.

Q: What is the benefit of the 'footed' design?

A: The foot raises the plate slightly off the table, which adds a sense of occasion and elegance to the presentation. It helps to frame the food and create a more premium dining experience.
