Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Folly Brasserie in Chester needed to upgrade their tableware to complement a newly launched menu focused on modern British cuisine. Their plain white plates felt uninspired and  didn't reflect the quality of the ingredients being used.

"We wanted crockery that told a story. The moment we saw the Churchill Studio Prints Raku bowls, we knew they were the one. They have this incredible depth and  character; they feel special in your hands. Our signature seafood linguine looks absolutely stunning in them."

Eleanor Vance – Proprietor

The change resulted in a noticeable uplift in positive customer comments on presentation and  a 30% increase in food photos being shared by diners on Instagram.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unbox and  check each bowl for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give the bowls a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to ensure they are pristine.
  • When stacking, avoid creating towers that are too high to prevent instability and  potential chipping.
  • Consider using felt or cushioned plate dividers if storing for extended periods to protect the glazed surface.

Keeping It Going

  • These bowls are fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast and  hygienic cleaning.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive chemicals; a soft cloth or sponge is sufficient.
  • While very durable, try to avoid extreme and  sudden temperature changes (like from a fridge to a hot salamander).
  • Regularly inspect for any small chips or cracks and  remove any damaged items from service immediately for safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Professional Crockery

Not sure what fits best for your establishment? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the perfect tableware.

Match Your Brand Vibe

The style of your crockery speaks volumes. A rustic, artisanal bowl like this suits a brand focused on authenticity and  quality ingredients, whereas plain white may suit a more minimalist aesthetic.

Plate for Your Menu

Think about your most popular dishes. A wide rim bowl is perfect for containing sauces in pasta, curry, or risotto, while a flat plate might be better for a steak or grilled fish.

Prioritise Durability

In a commercial setting, strength is non-negotiable. Look for terms like 'Super Vitrified' or 'Alumina Vitrified', as these indicate a product built to withstand chips and  constant use.

Check Your Dimensions

It's a simple but crucial step. Make sure your new plates fit comfortably in your dishwasher racks, plate warmers, and  on your storage shelves without being too snug.

Plan for the Future

Always buy more than you need to cover inevitable breakages. Check if the range is a core line that will be available for years to come, so you can easily top up your stock.

Beyond Beauty: The Strength of Super Vitrified Porcelain

Ever wondered what 'Super Vitrified' actually means? It's not just marketing speak; it's a process that gives this professional crockery its incredible strength. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, which causes the clay particles to fuse together and  become completely non-porous, almost like glass. Think of it like the difference between a regular brick and  a solid, polished stone. The brick can absorb water and  chip easily, while the stone is dense and  repels everything. This vitrification process means the bowl won't absorb moisture, flavours, or odours, and  it's far more resistant to the chips and  cracks that are the enemy of any busy kitchen. It's the hidden engineering that ensures this beautiful bowl lasts.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: For plating signature mains or pasta dishes with an artistic, high-end feel that wows diners.
  • Boutique Hotels: To create a cohesive and  luxurious in-room dining or restaurant experience that guests will remember.
  • Artisan Cafés & Gastropubs: Ideal for serving premium salads, grain bowls, and  daily specials with a rustic, authentic charm.
  • Prestige Event Caterers: To provide a unique and  sophisticated tablescape for weddings and  corporate functions that stands out.
