Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch Bistro in Bristol was struggling with constant crockery breakages and mismatched plates from various suppliers, which impacted their presentation. They decided to invest in a complete set of Churchill Profile tableware, including these 165mm plates, to create a more uniform and durable solution.
"We were tired of replacing chipped plates every month. The switch to Churchill was an upfront investment, but their resilience is incredible. They still look brand new after countless services, and the space we've saved with the stacking design is a huge bonus in our compact kitchen."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The bistro successfully cut its annual crockery replacement budget by over 40% and received numerous compliments from customers on the improved tabletop presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, always inspect the plates for any transit damage before use.
- Run them through a full dishwasher cycle before their first use to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- When stacking, align the plates carefully to take advantage of the space-saving profile design.
- Avoid sliding plates out from the bottom of a stack; always lift from the top to prevent scuffing.
Keeping It Going
- To remove stubborn marks, soak in a gentle, non-abrasive cleaning solution rather than using steel wool.
- Load plates into dishwasher racks so they are not knocking against other items, which can cause chipping.
- Regularly check the edges for any small chips or rough spots to maintain a safe and professional service.
- The hard-wearing glaze is resistant to cutlery marks, but avoiding heavily serrated knives will prolong their pristine look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these Churchill 165mm porcelain plates fully vitrified?
A: Yes, they are made from Churchill's super vitrified porcelain, ensuring they are extremely durable and non-porous for professional use.

A: It means the plates are designed to nestle together more closely, so a stack of 12 will take up less vertical shelf space than standard plates.

A: No, the super vitrified body and high-quality glaze are highly resistant to staining and will maintain their bright white finish.

Explore more from ChurchillWhy 'Super Vitrified' Porcelain is a Kitchen Hero
Ever wondered what makes some plates chip at the slightest knock while others seem almost indestructible? The secret is in the firing, and that's where 'Super Vitrified' porcelain comes in. Think of it like baking a cake: a standard bake is good, but a slow, high-temperature bake creates something much denser and more robust. Churchill fires its porcelain at over 1200°C, which makes the material non-porous. This means it doesn't absorb water, flavours, or bacteria, and it creates a body so strong it can easily withstand the thermal shock of going from a freezer to a microwave. It’s this process that gives these Churchill CF776 plates their incredible chip resistance and long-term durability.
