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.
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.
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.
