Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Clove Tree restaurant in Bristol recently updated their menu to focus on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and needed tableware that reflected their new earthy, refined ethos. They chose the Churchill Studio Prints Agate Grey plates to replace their traditional white porcelain.
"These plates instantly elevated our dishes. The colour and texture form the perfect backdrop, making our food look even more vibrant. Our guests constantly ask where they can buy them!"
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The restaurant reported a significant increase in social media engagement, with customers frequently sharing photos of their beautifully presented meals.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to remove any dust.
- When stacking for the first time, ensure your shelving is clean, dry, and stable.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are fully commercial dishwasher safe, so feel free to wash them on a standard cycle.
- Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals, as this could damage the glazed finish over time.
- Regularly check for any chips or cracks. While very durable, any damaged tableware should be removed from service.
- The stackable design is space-efficient, but for long-term storage, placing plate protectors between each one is a good habit.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat 'Super Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Kitchen
Ever wondered what makes some ceramic tougher than others? 'Super Vitrified' isn't just marketing speak; it's a specific process that makes these restaurant rectangular serving plates incredibly resilient. During manufacturing, the ceramic is fired at an extremely high temperature, which fuses the particles together and closes all the tiny pores. Think of it like turning a porous sponge into a solid piece of glass. This non-porous body doesn't absorb moisture, odours, or bacteria, making it far more hygienic. More importantly for a busy kitchen, it gives the plate superior strength against chips on the edges and the thermal shock of going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf.
