  • Limited Aesthetics: Only available in classic white, which might not suit more eclectic brand styles.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a popular tearoom in the heart of the Cotswolds, was looking to refresh its tableware. They needed something that matched their traditional-yet-modern aesthetic but could also handle dozens of covers a day without chipping or staining.

"We were getting through our old plates at an alarming rate. We switched to the Churchill CA847 small oval bowls for our signature scones and  sides, and  the difference is night and  day. They look fantastic, our customers have commented on them, and  they are incredibly resilient. They still look brand new after months of heavy use."

Robert Davies – Owner

Since the switch, The Copper Kettle has seen a 30% reduction in crockery breakage and  replacement orders, directly improving their bottom line.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Upon arrival, carefully unpack and  inspect each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Give the bowls a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
  • Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage, away from high-traffic areas to minimise accidental knocks.

Keeping It Perfect

  • To prevent thermal shock (cracking), avoid transferring the bowls directly from a freezer to a hot oven.
  • Stack carefully, aligning the bowls to prevent chipping the rims. Don't stack them too high!
  • Use a soft cloth or non-abrasive scourer when handwashing to protect the glaze finish.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or cracks; damaged items should be removed from service to ensure food safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Crockery

Not sure what fits best? Choosing tableware is a big decision that impacts your presentation and  budget. Here’s what to consider.

Material Matters

Porcelain, like this Churchill bowl, is fired at high temperatures, making it strong and  non-porous. It's a fantastic all-rounder for busy commercial environments.

Match the Menu

Think about what you'll serve. An elegant oval bowl is perfect for starters and  desserts, while a deep bowl suits soups and  pastas. Choose shapes that make your food shine.

Focus on Durability

Look for features like 'fully vitrified' and  'chip-resistant edges'. They might cost a little more initially but save you a fortune in replacement costs over time.

Consider Storage

Kitchen space is precious. Check if the items are designed to be stackable. Uniform, well-stacking crockery can save a huge amount of shelf space.

Reflect Your Brand

Your crockery is part of your brand's story. Classic white is timeless and  versatile, but consider if a different colour or style would better suit your restaurant's unique identity.

More Than a Shine: The Power of a Superior Glaze

Ever wondered what 'superior glaze finish' actually means for your kitchen? Think of it like a high-performance protective shield for your crockery. This special glaze, applied by Churchill, creates an incredibly smooth, non-porous surface. On a practical level, this means food residue and  strong colours (like beetroot or balsamic) have nowhere to cling to, preventing stains and  making them a doddle to wash clean. It's also this glaze that gives the bowl its brilliant scratch resistance against cutlery. So, it's not just about looking glossy; it's a core feature that keeps your tableware looking new, hygienic, and  ready for service, day after day.
