Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Pantry, a bustling delicatessen in Bakewell, Peak District, wanted to improve how they presented their local cheese selection. They needed a solution that was both stylish and practical to protect the products while still showcasing their quality.
"We bought half a dozen of these glass domes, and the difference was immediate. They look fantastic on our slate boards. Customers comment on how professional the display looks, and it keeps everything in perfect condition. They're easy for staff to handle and clean, even on our busiest days."
Michael Davies – Owner, The Lavender Pantry
Since introducing the cloches, the deli has noted a significant uptick in cheese sales and a reduction in product wastage from air exposure.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack your new cloche carefully, inspecting it for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run it through the dishwasher before its first use.
- Ensure it's placed on a stable, level surface away from high-traffic edges to prevent accidental knocks.
Keeping It Going
- While fully dishwasher safe, placing it on the top rack can help prolong its life.
- To avoid thermal shock, don't move the glass from a very hot environment (like a dishwasher) to a very cold one.
- Polish with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and keep it sparkling.
- Handle with care – although designed for commercial use, it is still glass!

You might see 'smoke gun compatible' and wonder what that's all about. It’s a simple but incredibly effective way to create a memorable dining experience. A smoke gun is a small, handheld device that gently infuses food with aromatic smoke from wood chips like applewood or hickory. By placing the nozzle under the rim of this glass cloche and filling it with smoke, you trap all that wonderful aroma inside.
Think of it as a magic trick for the senses. When the dome is lifted at the table, a cloud of fragrant smoke is released, delighting your guests before they’ve even taken a bite. It's not just for savoury dishes like fish or cheese; a light smoke can also add surprising complexity to cocktails or chocolate desserts. This food presentation dome turns a simple dish into an engaging, multi-sensory event that people will be talking about long after they leave.
