Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Pheasant, a popular gastropub in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, was looking to refresh its tableware to better reflect its modern British menu. Their old plates were showing wear and didn't have the 'wow' factor they wanted for their carefully plated dishes.
"We chose the Churchill Stonecast bowls because they look fantastic, but we secretly love them for their toughness. They’ve been through hundreds of dishwasher cycles without a single chip, and our customers constantly comment on how lovely they are. They make our food look even better."
Charlotte Evans – General Manager
Since the switch, the pub has eliminated replacement costs for chipped bowls and reports a noticeable increase in positive customer feedback on presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each bowl for any transit damage.
- Always wash thoroughly in a commercial dishwasher before first use to remove any dust or residues.
- If pre-warming, avoid extreme temperature changes. Gradually warm the bowls in a plate warmer rather than a hot oven.
Keeping It Going
- Stack carefully. The glazed foot helps prevent scratches, but careful handling is always best.
- To maintain the finish, use non-abrasive detergents in your dishwasher.
- Regularly check for any small nicks or chips, removing any damaged items from service to ensure food safety.
- Avoid using metal scourers, which can damage the unique hand-finished glaze over time.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Mean for Your Kitchen?
You'll see the term 'vitrified' a lot with professional crockery, but what does it actually mean? Think of it like turning a simple clay sponge into a solid, impenetrable stone. During manufacturing, the ceramic is fired at incredibly high temperatures until the clay particles fuse together, closing all the tiny pores. This process, vitrification, makes the bowl non-porous.
For your business, this is crucial. A non-porous bowl won't absorb water, oils, or food odours, which makes it far more hygienic and resistant to staining. It’s also what gives the material its immense strength and high resistance to chipping from knocks and scrapes. So, when you choose a vitrified bowl, you're not just getting a nice plate; you're getting a piece of engineered equipment designed for superior hygiene and a longer service life.
