Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner House, a bustling café in central Manchester, was looking to upgrade its mismatched and  frequently chipping crockery. They needed a uniform, professional look that could withstand constant use and  washing without compromising on style for their popular lunch service.

"We switched to the Churchill Bit on the Side bowls and  the difference was immediate. They just feel quality, and  our customers have even commented on how nice they are. They come out of the dishwasher looking brand new every single time."

Robert Davies – Owner

After six months, The Corner House reported a 30% reduction in their quarterly crockery replacement budget, thanks to the superior chip resistance of the bowls.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Upon delivery, unpack and  inspect all bowls for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
  • When stacking, avoid harsh clattering. Place them carefully to protect the rims from impact.
  • Ensure your shelving is clean, dry, and  sturdy enough to support the weight of the full box.

Keeping It Going

  • These bowls are fully dishwasher safe. For best results, avoid overcrowding the dishwasher rack.
  • For any stubborn food marks, soak in warm, soapy water and  use a non-abrasive pad.
  • Avoid extreme and  sudden temperature changes, such as moving a bowl from the freezer directly into a hot oven.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or cracks. Remove any damaged items from service to ensure food safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what to look for in professional tableware? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the best fit for your business.

Material Matters

Vitrified porcelain, like these Churchill bowls, offers the best resistance to chipping and  staining, making it ideal for busy environments. Cheaper earthenware may look nice but won't last as long.

Check for Durability Features

Look for terms like 'fully vitrified' or 'rolled edge'. These indicate the product is designed specifically to withstand the knocks and  bumps of a professional kitchen.

Prioritise Versatility

Can it go in the oven, microwave, and  freezer? Tableware that can handle multiple tasks saves you time, reduces washing up, and  makes your kitchen more efficient.

Size and  Capacity

Consider your menu. Will you be serving small nibbles or generous sides? Choose sizes like these 121mm commercial snack bowls that can handle multiple different dishes.

Stackability is Key

Space is always at a premium in a commercial kitchen. Check that the crockery is designed to stack neatly and  safely to maximise your storage space.

Why 'Vitrified' Porcelain is a Caterer's Best Friend

Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? It’s not just marketing speak; it’s a process that makes this crockery incredibly tough. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until it becomes glass-like and  non-porous. Think of it like giving the bowl its own invisible suit of armour. This process fuses the particles together so tightly that there are no tiny holes for water, grease, or food particles to seep into. This is why vitrified porcelain is so resistant to stains and  odours, and  why it's so much stronger and  more hygienic than standard ceramic. It’s the science behind crockery that lasts.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Bistros: An excellent choice for serving everything from side salads and  vegetable portions to stylish appetisers.
  • Gastropubs & Bars: Ideal for elevating your bar snack game with durable bowls for olives, nuts, and  tapas dishes.
  • Cafés & Delis: Perfectly sized for serving daily soups, portions of granola, or premium deli counter sides.
  • Hotels & Event Caterers: A reliable and  versatile option for buffets, room service, and  serving condiments or accompaniments.
