Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Forager's Table, a modern British restaurant in Bristol, was looking to upgrade its tableware to better reflect its new, nature-inspired seasonal menu. They needed something with more character than their standard white plates.

"These plates completely transformed our presentation. The food looks incredible against the grey 'Galet' surface, and  our customers constantly comment on how lovely the crockery is. They feel sturdy but look so elegant."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

The new tableware helped boost their social media presence, with a noticeable increase in customers sharing photos of their dishes online.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unbox carefully and  give each plate a quick check for any damage from its journey to you.
  • Run them through a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to ensure they're pristine.
  • Make sure your plate warmers and  storage racks are clean and  free from any grit or debris.

Keeping It Going

  • These plates are 100% commercial dishwasher safe, so clean them with confidence.
  • To keep the glaze looking its best, avoid using abrasive metal scourers.
  • The fully glazed foot allows for safe stacking without the need for plate separators.
  • While double-fired for strength, always handle any porcelain with care to minimise the risk of chipping.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure which plates are the perfect fit for your venue? Here are a few key things to consider.

Consider the Material

Porcelain is a fantastic all-rounder for commercial use. It's incredibly tough, non-porous (so it won't absorb flavours or odours), and  holds heat well.

Match Your Vibe

Your plates are a canvas. Rustic styles like this restaurant stoneware coupe plate suit organic, handcrafted menus, while crisp white is a timeless classic.

Size Matters

Think about your menu. This 152mm (6") size is spot-on for smaller starters, side dishes, or elegant desserts where presentation is key.

Stacking and  Storage

Look for features like a 'fully glazed foot'. It’s a small detail that prevents scratching and  makes your investment last much longer in a busy kitchen.

Durability is Key

Keep an eye out for terms like 'vitrified' or 'double-fired'. This tells you the plate is built to withstand the knocks and  temperature shocks of a professional environment.

What's a 'Fully Glazed Foot' and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever flipped over a standard dinner plate and  noticed that rough, unglazed ring on the bottom? That's called the 'foot'. In most crockery, this part is left bare, making it slightly abrasive – a bit like fine sandpaper. When you stack these plates, that rough foot grinds against the beautiful, glazed surface of the plate underneath, causing scratches and  wear over time. The 'fully glazed foot' on this Rene Ozorio 152mm coupe plate is a simple but brilliant solution. The entire base is sealed with a smooth layer of glaze, meaning it glides over other plates without causing damage. It’s a small detail that hugely extends the life and  pristine look of your tableware, saving you money on replacements in the long run.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Ideal for presenting exquisite appetisers or desserts that demand an equally impressive backdrop.
  • Artisan Cafés & Bistros: Perfect for elevating brunch and  lunch dishes with plates that echo a handcrafted, rustic vibe.
  • Boutique Hotels: Impress guests with high-quality, unique tableware for in-room dining or the hotel restaurant.
  • Farm-to-Table Eateries: The earthy, organic feel of the Wabi Sabi Rene Ozorio coupe plate beautifully complements fresh, local ingredients.
