Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Cheltenham was looking to create a more cohesive and upmarket feel for their front counter. Their collection of mismatched plates and slates wasn't doing justice to their brilliant homemade cakes and savouries.
"We needed something that looked the part but could handle the pace. These Churchill DN500 buffet trays were the answer. They’re incredibly durable, and the uniform look has made our counter display so much more appealing. Customers are definitely drawn to it."
Robert Davies – Head Baker
The switch resulted in a more professional image and helped boost their grab-and-go sales, with a reported 20% increase in sales of counter items in the first month.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each tray for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give each tray a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or packaging.
- Ensure you have adequate and safe shelf space cleared for storing your new 530 x 150mm serving tray collection.
Keeping It Going
- These trays are fully dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.
- To maintain the pristine glaze, avoid using harsh abrasive scourers or steel wool.
- When stacking, do so carefully. For long-term protection, you could place a thin cloth or felt liner between trays.
- While oven-safe, avoid extreme temperature changes, such as moving a tray from a freezer directly into a hot oven.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Makes This Porcelain So Incredibly Tough?
You'll see the term 'Vitrified Porcelain' mentioned, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of it like turning regular sand into ultra-strong glass. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at incredibly high temperatures. This process melts the material slightly, fusing it together and removing any tiny holes or pores. The result is a single, solid, non-porous piece. This is why it's so resistant to chipping, cracking, and staining. It doesn't absorb water, flavours, or odours, making it far more hygienic and able to withstand the thermal shock of going from an oven to a cooler environment without cracking. It's the secret behind its long life in a demanding kitchen.
