Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a bustling bistro in the heart of Chester, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their modern, farm-to-table menu. They needed something stylish but also exceptionally durable.

"We needed crockery that felt as authentic and  crafted as our food. The Churchill Stonecast Patina bowls were perfect. The black triangular design makes our vibrant dishes look incredible, and  customers constantly comment on them."

Robert Miller – Owner & Head Chef

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give the bowls a thorough wash with detergent before their first use to remove any residue from manufacturing or transit.
  • Check each piece for any imperfections or transit damage upon unboxing.
  • The glazed foot allows for safe stacking, but avoid creating overly high stacks to prevent tipping and  ensure stability.

Keeping It Going

  • These bowls are fully dishwasher safe; however, avoid highly abrasive detergents or scouring pads to protect the unique glaze.
  • To minimise cutlery marks over time, using good quality 18/10 stainless steel cutlery is recommended.
  • If putting them into storage, ensure every bowl is completely dry to prevent any moisture build-up between items.
  • While incredibly durable, it is still ceramic. Handle with care to avoid breakage from sharp impacts or drops.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Need a hand choosing the right tableware? Here are a few key things to keep in mind for your business.

Consider Your Vibe

Is your establishment rustic and  casual, or more formal and  upscale? Your tableware is a key part of the story you tell your guests.

Match Your Menu

Deep bowls are essential for soups and  pastas, while unique shapes like this Churchill triangular presentation bowl are perfect for signature dishes that deserve to be shown off.

Prioritise Durability

Always look for terms like 'super vitrified' or 'chip-resistant'. This is your guarantee that the crockery is built to survive a busy commercial kitchen.

Think About Storage

Does it stack well? A glazed foot, like on this bowl, is a huge plus as it prevents scratching when stacked, saving space and  protecting your investment.

Leverage Colour

Don't underestimate the power of colour. A dark plate, such as this Stonecast Patina black bowl, makes colourful ingredients pop, creating a more vibrant and  appealing dish.

What Does 'Super Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered what makes professional crockery so much tougher than the stuff you have at home? It's often because it's 'vitrified'. Think of it like turning pottery into something closer to glass. The porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature until it becomes non-porous, super strong, and  resistant to moisture. For you, this means it won't absorb flavours or odours from strong foods, and  it’s far less likely to chip or crack from daily use, temperature changes, or the odd knock in the dishwasher. Essentially, it’s ceramic tableware with built-in armour, designed for the battlefield of a commercial kitchen.
