Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Star & Garter, a bustling gastropub in Leamington Spa, needed to upgrade their tired, chipped crockery to something that reflected their high-quality menu. They chose the Churchill DP230 plates for their reputation and  modern look.

"We were haemorrhaging money on replacing chipped plates. Since switching to the Churchill X Squared range, our breakage costs have plummeted. They look fantastic, they're incredibly tough, and  our customers have even commented on how lovely they are."

Robert Evans – Proprietor

The switch resulted in an 85% reduction in crockery replacement costs within the first year, significantly improving their operational budget.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack carefully and  inspect each plate for any transit damage before first use.
  • Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher to remove any dust or residues from manufacturing and  shipping.
  • Ensure you have adequate, sturdy shelving for storage that can handle the weight of stacked crockery.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent scratching, avoid sliding plates over one another; lift them directly up when unstacking.
  • Load into dishwasher racks carefully, ensuring plates don't knock against each other during the wash cycle.
  • Although durable, avoid using metal scourers which can damage the glaze. A pre-rinse and  a good quality detergent are all you need.
  • Stack plates of the same size and  shape together to ensure stability and  prevent toppling.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Feeling a bit lost in the world of plates and  bowls? Here’s a quick guide to help you find the perfect match for your establishment.

Match Your Menu

The shape and  size of your plate should complement your food. Wide-rimmed plates frame food beautifully, while deep bowls are perfect for pastas and  curries. These oblong plates are brilliant for long cuts of fish, steaks or sharing boards.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic for a reason: it's elegant and  durable. Vitrified porcelain, like this Churchill range, offers superior strength and  chip resistance, making it a wise investment for busy venues.

Consider Table Size

Ensure your chosen plates fit comfortably on your tables, leaving enough room for cutlery, glassware, and  side dishes. Larger plates make a statement but can crowd smaller two-person tables.

Durability is Key

Look for features designed for commercial use, like rolled edges and  a glazed foot. These small details drastically reduce chipping and  scratching, saving you money on replacements in the long run.

Check for Stackability

In a commercial kitchen, space is gold. Crockery that stacks neatly and  securely is non-negotiable. It prevents accidents and  makes the best use of your valuable storage space.

Why 'Vitrified Porcelain' is Your Kitchen's Best Mate

Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? Think of it as giving porcelain superpowers. During manufacturing, the plate is fired at an extremely high temperature, which causes the clay body to become glass-like and  non-porous. This process is what gives the Churchill X Squared oblong plates their incredible strength.

Imagine a regular sponge versus a pane of glass. The sponge soaks up everything, right? That’s like standard, porous ceramic – it can absorb water, oils, and  food odours, leading to stains and  weaknesses over time. Vitrified porcelain, on the other hand, is like the glass. It’s completely sealed, so nothing gets in. This means it won't harbour bacteria, is exceptionally resistant to stains and  chipping, and  has high thermal shock resistance, making it one of the most hygienic and  durable choices for a commercial kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for presenting signature dishes or shared appetisers with a sophisticated, modern touch.
  • Stylish Gastropubs: An ideal canvas for everything from gourmet burgers to beautifully presented fish and  chips.
  • Boutique Hotels: Elevate your room service and  in-house restaurant with this durable and  elegant restaurant rectangular crockery.
  • Professional Caterers: A reliable and  stackable option that brings a premium feel to weddings, banquets, and  corporate events.
