Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Granary, a popular farm-to-table restaurant in the Cotswolds, wanted to replace their plain white tableware to better reflect their rustic, locally-sourced ethos. They chose the Dudson Evo range for its unique granite finish and reputation for durability.
"Our food is all about natural quality, and these plates are the perfect canvas. They make every dish look incredible. We've had so many guests ask where they're from, and our food photos on social media have never looked better."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
Since introducing the plates, the restaurant has seen a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the overall presentation and atmosphere.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Carefully unpack and check each plate for any transit damage before use.
- Give them a good wash in a commercial dishwasher to ensure they are pristine for their first service.
- Avoid taking plates from a cold store and placing them directly into a hot plate warmer to prevent thermal shock.
Keeping It Going
- To remove stubborn marks or metal marking from cutlery, use a gentle renovating agent rather than harsh scourers.
- Stack carefully, making use of the polished foot which is designed to prevent scratches.
- While tough, avoid dropping them or hitting them against hard surfaces to maximise their lifespan.
- Rinse plates before loading into the dishwasher to prevent corrosive food acids from damaging the glaze over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates sold individually?
A: These commercial stoneware dinner plates are supplied as a convenient 6-pack, offering great value and consistency for your service.
Q: What exactly does 'vitrified stoneware' mean?
A: It means the stoneware has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous. This results in superior strength, better hygiene, and excellent chip resistance.
Q: Is the granite finish completely smooth?
A: The glaze has a subtle texture to achieve its realistic stone effect, which adds to its unique, tactile charm. It's a semi-matte finish.
Q: Will these get very hot in the microwave?
A: As with any microwave-safe ceramic, the plate will become warm to the touch during heating. We always recommend handling with care.
Q: What is the benefit of a 'polished foot'?
A: The base of the plate is ground to a smooth finish. This clever detail prevents the unglazed ceramic from scratching the surface of the plate below it when stacked.
Q: Is the 252mm the total diameter of the plate?
A: Yes, that's the full edge-to-edge measurement, making it an excellent size for plating main courses with plenty of space for presentation.
Q: Can I use standard metal cutlery on these plates?
A: Absolutely. Over time, as with most matte-finish plates, faint marks may appear. These are easily removed with a porcelain rubber or cream cleaner.
Q: Is the colour and pattern identical on every Dudson Evo FE304 dinner plate?
A: Due to the reactive glaze used to create the beautiful granite effect, each plate has its own unique, subtle variations, which is a celebrated feature of the range.

It signals a commitment to quality that your customers will see and feel with every meal served.
Explore more from ChurchillWhat Makes 'Vitrified' Stoneware So Incredibly Tough?
Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? Think of it as giving stoneware superpowers. During manufacturing, the clay is fired at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C!), which causes the particles to fuse together and become glass-like, or 'vitrified'. This process closes up all the tiny pores in the material.
It’s a bit like the difference between an unglazed terracotta plant pot, which soaks up water, and a glazed coffee mug, which doesn’t. Because it’s no longer porous, vitrified stoneware doesn't absorb water, grease, or odours. This makes it far more hygienic, much stronger, and exceptionally resistant to chipping – a must-have quality for any plate that needs to survive a professional kitchen.
