Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular lakeside eatery in Windermere, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their menu, which focuses on locally sourced Cumbrian produce. They chose the Dudson Harvest FC060 oblong plates to enhance their presentation.
"Our food is all about natural quality, and we needed plates that told the same story. The Harvest plates feel authentic and earthy. Customers constantly comment on how beautiful their meal looks, and it's really lifted the whole dining experience."
Michael Edwards – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The switch resulted in a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation and a 20% rise in photo shares on social media.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to remove any dust.
- Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage. Stack plates carefully to avoid putting pressure on the rims.
- Familiarise staff with the new shape to ensure it fits well with your existing plating guards and pass counters.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent chipping, avoid knocking plates against hard surfaces or other crockery.
- When using a dishwasher, stack the plates in the racks correctly, ensuring they don't knock together during the cycle.
- Although durable, avoid extreme and sudden temperature changes (e.g., from a hot oven directly to a cold surface).
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks; damaged crockery should be removed from service immediately for safety.

Explore more from ChurchillThe Beauty of Imperfection: What 'Hand-Sponged Rim' Really Means
You'll notice that one of the key features of the Dudson Harvest range is a 'hand-sponged rim'. But what does that actually mean for your business? It's a deliberate, artisanal process where the coloured glaze on the edge of the plate is applied by hand with a sponge before firing. This technique means that, unlike mass-produced plates with perfectly uniform printed edges, each Dudson Harvest plate has a slightly different pattern and density of colour around the rim.
Think of it like the difference between a printed poster and an original painting. The small variations and subtle imperfections are not defects; they are the hallmarks of true craftsmanship. This feature gives your tableware a genuine, rustic character and a story to tell, reinforcing an image of quality and authenticity that resonates deeply with guests who appreciate the finer details.
