Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Inn in Polperro, Cornwall, was struggling with constantly replacing their chipped and  mismatched side plates. They needed a uniform, hard-wearing solution that could withstand their busy summer tourist season.

"We were placing top-up orders for crockery what felt like every other month. Since we switched to the Churchill DY859 plates, the difference has been remarkable. They look professional, handle our commercial dishwasher without a problem, and  we've had virtually no breakages."

Laura Davies – General Manager

By making the switch, the inn has significantly improved its table presentation and  cut its annual tableware replacement budget by more than 50%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect all dishes for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Before their first use, run the dishes through a hot wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher to ensure they are pristine.
  • Designate a clean, sturdy, and  easily accessible shelf for storage to prevent accidents.
  • Stack the dishes neatly. Avoid creating towers that are too high, as this can make them unstable and  difficult to access safely.

Keeping It Going

  • Always scrape off excess food residue before loading into the dishwasher to ensure a perfect clean.
  • Use a quality commercial-grade detergent to keep the superior glaze looking bright and  stain-free.
  • To protect the finish, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or steel wool for cleaning.
  • While incredibly durable, always handle with care to maximise the lifespan of your tableware.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure which plates are right for your place? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your commercial crockery.

Prioritise Durability

Look for terms like 'super vitrified' or 'fully vitrified'. This is your guarantee that the crockery is built to withstand the knocks, chips, and  high-temperature washes of a commercial kitchen.

Match Your Menu

The shape and  depth of your plates should complement your dishes. A deeper dish like this is perfect for sides with sauces, while a flat plate might be better for sandwiches or cakes.

Consider Storage Space

If your storage space is tight, 'stackable' is a magic word. Crockery designed to stack securely not only saves huge amounts of shelf space but also reduces the risk of breakages.

Choose a Timeless Style

A classic white porcelain round side dish is a fantastic investment. It's a blank canvas that makes your food the hero and  won't look dated in a year's time. It suits almost any decor.

Think About Long-Term Value

Cheaper options might seem tempting, but they often lead to higher replacement costs. Investing in a trusted brand known for durability, like Churchill, saves you money in the long run.

What Does 'Super Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

You'll see 'super vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what is it really? It’s not just a fancy name for strong pottery. Vitrification is a special process where the ceramic is fired at an incredibly high temperature, over 1100°C. This extreme heat causes the tiny particles within the clay to melt and  fuse together, creating a single, solid, glass-like structure.

Think of it like the difference between a sponge and  a glass marble. A sponge is full of holes and  absorbs water easily, while a marble is completely solid and  waterproof. The vitrification process turns the porous ceramic into a non-porous 'marble'. This means it won't absorb water, grease, or bacteria, making it far more hygienic and  resistant to stains. It’s also what gives the Churchill DY859 round side dish its incredible strength and  resistance to chipping.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Restaurants: An essential for serving everything from garlic bread and  side salads to individual crumble desserts with ease.
  • Chic Cafés & Bistros: Perfect for elegantly presenting delicious pastries, tapas-style snacks, or hearty soup accompaniments.
  • Hotels & Event Caterers: A reliable and  stackable choice for high-volume breakfast buffets, room service, and  function dining.
  • Schools & Care Homes: The exceptional durability and  hygienic properties make it ideal for demanding institutional catering environments.
