Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Caper, a seaside bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, wanted to refresh their serveware to better match their coastal, rustic aesthetic. They needed something durable enough for constant use but with more character than standard white porcelain.
"We introduced a new fish pie to the menu and serve it in these Churchill dishes. The indigo blue colour makes the creamy sauce and golden top just pop. Our customers constantly comment on how lovely they look, and we've even seen people taking photos of their meal for social media, which is fantastic free marketing for us!"
Robert Davies – Owner & Chef
Since the switch, the fish pie has become their top-selling main, and online reviews frequently mention the 'beautiful presentation' of their food.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully inspect each dish for any transit damage.
- Give them a thorough wash in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before first use.
- Ensure the dish is completely dry before storing to maintain its pristine condition.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent thermal shock, avoid transferring the dish directly from a freezer to a hot oven. Allow it to come to room temperature first.
- When stacking, place a paper napkin or felt protector between dishes to protect the hand-decorated finish.
- While extremely durable, avoid using metal scourers or harsh abrasives which could scratch the surface over time.
- Use in commercial dishwashers is fine, just ensure they are racked securely to prevent knocking against other items.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Churchill DY207 rectangular baking dish definitely oven safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's made from super vitrified ceramic, designed specifically for oven-to-table service in a professional kitchen environment.
Q: As they are hand-decorated, will the pattern be identical on all four dishes?
A: You should expect slight, subtle variations in the speckle and colour application. This is a key feature of the Stonecast range, giving each piece a unique, rustic identity.

A: These are supplied in a box of 4 dishes.
Q: What is the main benefit of 'Super Vitrified' material?

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Makes 'Super Vitrified' a Cut Above the Rest?
You'll see 'Super Vitrified Ceramic' mentioned, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? In short, it’s all about toughness and hygiene. During manufacturing, the ceramic is fired at an extremely high temperature, which makes the final product much less porous and far stronger than standard pottery.
Think of it like the difference between a normal brick and a glazed tile. The brick absorbs water, while the tile repels it. Super vitrified ceramic acts like that tile; it doesn't absorb moisture, grease, or food odours. This not only prevents staining but also makes it more hygienic and significantly more resistant to chipping and cracking. It's the science behind why this beautiful dish can handle the heat of a professional kitchen.
Who Should Buy This?
- Gastropubs & Country Inns: Perfect for serving signature pies, crumbles, and roasts with an authentic, rustic charm.
- Farm-to-Table Restaurants: Beautifully showcases fresh, seasonal ingredients in dishes like gratins and large-format salads.
- Hotel Buffets & Event Caterers: An ideal choice for hot counter service, holding temperature well and looking fantastic on display.
- Artisan Cafes & Delis: Great for presenting larger sharing bakes, quiches, or vibrant deli salads to entice customers.
