Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Truffle, a popular eatery in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, decided to refresh their tableware to better reflect their locally-sourced, rustic menu. They felt their old, generic white plates didn't do justice to the quality of their food.
"We chose the Dudson Harvest plates because they have so much character. Our food photography for social media has never looked better, and customers regularly comment on how lovely they are. They truly complement our ethos."
Robert Miller – Head Chef
Since the switch, the restaurant has seen a 30% increase in user-generated content on Instagram, with customers eagerly sharing photos of their meals.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residues from manufacturing and packing.
- Brief your team on the new crockery, highlighting its unique hand-finished nature.
Keeping It Going
- Load plates into the dishwasher rack carefully, ensuring they don't knock against each other.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as moving a hot plate directly into cold water, to prevent thermal shock.
- When stacking for storage, create stable, manageable piles. Avoid stacking too high to prevent chipping the unique rims.
- Regularly check for any chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service to maintain safety and presentation standards.

Explore more from ChurchillWhy a Hand-Sponged Rim Makes All the Difference
You might see 'hand-sponged rim' and wonder what that really means for your business. It’s not just a fancy term; it’s a mark of true craftsmanship. During production, the coloured rim on each Dudson Harvest plate is applied by hand with a sponge. This simple, manual process means that the colour application, density, and pattern are slightly different on every single plate.
Think of it like an artist's signature. While a machine produces perfectly identical items, this technique ensures that no two plates in your collection are exactly the same. It gives your tabletop an authentic, bespoke feel that can't be replicated, reinforcing a rustic, high-quality dining experience for your guests. It’s this subtle uniqueness that transforms a simple meal into something far more special.
