Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Oakley Manor Hotel in Windsor decided to overhaul their main dining room's tableware. Their existing porcelain had become tired and chipped, failing to match the quality of their recently updated menu and refined decor.
"We needed tableware that spoke the same language as our food – elegant, high-quality, and memorable. The Whitehall plates were an instant fit. Our guests frequently comment on the beautiful presentation, and the plates themselves have proven incredibly durable in service."
Robert Davies – Restaurant Manager
The upgrade directly contributed to an uplift in positive online reviews mentioning the restaurant's ambience and attention to detail.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack 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.
- Ensure your storage shelving is clean, dry, and sturdy enough to handle the weight of stacked china.
Keeping It Going
- When stacking, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift directly up to prevent scuffing the glaze.
- For best results, consider using felt or foam plate dividers for long-term storage.
- Load into dishwashers carefully, ensuring plates don't knock against each other during the wash cycle.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as moving a plate from a hot pass directly into a cold room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is 'fine bone china'?
A: It's a type of porcelain renowned for its high levels of whiteness, translucency, and strength, achieved by including bone ash in its composition. It's considered a luxury material in tableware.
Q: How resistant is this plate to chipping?
A: While all china can chip with sufficient force, the fully vitrified body and strong glaze on this plate make it highly resistant to the typical knocks and bumps of a commercial kitchen.
Q: Can I use these in a high-temperature commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, the Royal Crown Derby FE002 plate is designed to be fully commercial dishwasher safe, withstanding high temperatures and detergents.
Q: What is the main advantage of a coupe-style plate?
A: A coupe plate has no rim, offering a larger, uninterrupted surface area. This provides a modern look and gives chefs maximum space for creative food presentation.
Q: Are the plates sold individually?
A: No, these plates are supplied in a convenient box of 6, which is ideal for professional kitchens and helps ensure consistency.
Q: How should I stack these plates to prevent scratching?
A: We recommend lifting plates directly up and off the stack rather than sliding them. For long-term storage, using plate dividers is the best way to protect the glaze.
Q: Is the 'true white' colour consistent across different orders?
A: Yes, Royal Crown Derby is known for its exceptional quality control, ensuring a consistent and uniform true white colour across all its Whitehall range products.
Q: Is the plate heavy?
