  • Best Feature: The alumina vitrified body is exceptionally tough, shrugging off chips and  daily wear.
  • A Point to Consider: Its generous 315mm size, while great for mains, requires ample storage space.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Olive Branch, a contemporary bistro in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, decided to overhaul their tableware to better reflect their new, refined menu. They needed something that was both visually stunning and  tough enough for a fully-booked weekend service.

"We were using standard porcelain that chipped far too easily. The Steelite Willow bowls immediately felt different—more substantial, with a much better finish. Our mains look incredible in them, and  our customers have definitely noticed the step up in quality."

Samuel Jones – Head Chef

After switching, the bistro saw a 90% reduction in crockery breakages and  chips within the first three months, saving significant replacement costs.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack your new bowls carefully, checking for any transit damage before first use.
  • Give them a good wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with a soft cloth to remove any dust.
  • Ensure your shelves are clean and  have enough space to avoid overcrowding.

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals, which can damage the glaze over time.
  • Stack carefully, ideally using felt pads or shelf liners to prevent friction between items.
  • Although thermal shock resistant, try to avoid extreme temperature changes, like moving directly from a freezer to a hot oven.
  • Handle with care when hot – use appropriate cloths or gloves to protect both staff and  the crockery.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect tableware for your business.

Match Your Aesthetic

Consider the style of your food and  decor. A rustic pub needs different plates to a sleek, modern bistro. The Steelite Willow VV677 bowl offers a timeless, classic look that suits most upscale environments.

Prioritise Durability

In a commercial setting, durability is king. Look for vitrified ceramic or porcelain with reinforced or rolled edges to minimise chipping and  extend the life of your investment.

Think About Storage

Check if the items are stackable. Efficient storage is crucial in a busy kitchen. Consider the height and  diameter of pieces to ensure they fit your existing shelving.

Get the Size Right

Choose sizes that enhance your portion control. A large bowl can make a standard portion look small, while a small plate can look overcrowded. This 315mm bowl is ideal for generous mains.

Consider the Whole Range

Are you buying a one-off item or starting a collection? Choosing a piece from a well-known range like Steelite Willow means you can easily add matching side plates, cups, and  other items later.

What Customers Are Saying

"Absolutely fantastic bowls. They make every dish look professional and  have stood up to our busy dishwasher cycle without a single mark. Worth every penny for our hotel restaurant."

Eleanor Vance – The Grand Hotel, Brighton

"A really lovely, high-quality commercial deep rimmed serving bowl. The rim is very wide, which looks great but does mean they take up a bit of room on a two-person table. Still, we love them."

Ben Carter – The Corner Bistro, Bristol

"We bought these for serving pasta and  risotto at our small Italian place. They are the perfect size and  the quality is obvious. A massive upgrade for us!"

Maria Conti – Conti's Kitchen, Manchester

What Exactly is 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic'?

Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? In this case, it's the 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic'. In simple terms, 'vitrified' means the ceramic has been fired at an extremely high temperature until it becomes non-porous, like glass. This stops it from absorbing water, flavours, or odours. The 'alumina' is the secret ingredient – it's a super-hard oxide that gets added to the clay, significantly boosting its strength. Think of it like adding rebar to concrete; it turns an already strong material into something exceptionally resilient and  chip-resistant, ready for the toughest professional kitchens.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for presenting signature main courses and  deconstructed dishes that require a sophisticated, elegant frame.
  • Hotel Banqueting Departments: A durable and  stylish choice for serving guests at weddings, conferences, and  large-scale events.
  • High-End Gastropubs: Elevate your gourmet burgers, premium pies, or hearty pasta dishes with a quality porcelain serving bowl 315mm.
  • Event Caterers: Impress clients with premium, resilient tableware that travels well and  showcases your food beautifully on any table.
