- Con: The brilliant white finish needs a quick polish as it shows fingerprints easily.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby was looking to upgrade its mismatched and heavy stoneware. They wanted tableware that reflected their commitment to fresh, high-quality local seafood without being too fragile for a fast-paced coastal restaurant.
"Our old plates were just too clunky and we were seeing too many chips. These Royal Bone Ascot plates are beautiful, light, and our chefs love how they frame the food. Our waiting staff are thrilled with the lighter weight too, especially on a packed Saturday night."
Cerys Jones – Restaurant Manager
The switch resulted in a significant reduction in replacement costs due to fewer breakages and received numerous positive mentions in customer reviews about the overall presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack each plate and inspect for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Before first use, run all plates through a hot wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher or wash thoroughly by hand.
- If using a plate warmer, ensure it's set to a suitable temperature to avoid thermal shock.
- Designate a clean, stable, and easily accessible shelf space for storage.
Keeping It Going
- Load into the dishwasher carefully, ensuring plates aren't knocking against each other to prevent chipping.
- For a five-star finish, polish the glazed surface with a clean, dry microfibre cloth after washing to remove water spots.
- Stack plates neatly, allowing the non-glazed foot to sit securely on the plate below for maximum stability.
- Regularly check for any chips or cracks and remove any damaged items from service to maintain safety and standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is bone china strong enough for a busy commercial restaurant?
A: Absolutely. Modern commercial bone china is fired at extremely high temperatures, which makes it surprisingly strong, durable, and chip-resistant. It's designed to withstand the demands of a professional kitchen.
Q: What's the main difference between bone china and regular porcelain?
A: Bone china is typically lighter in weight, thinner, and has a higher level of translucency (it lets more light through) than porcelain. This gives it a more delicate and premium appearance and feel.
Q: Can I put this plate under a high-heat grill or salamander?
A: While it is oven safe for warming, we do not recommend placing it under direct, intense heat from a grill. This can cause thermal shock and may lead to cracking.
Q: Will the white glaze get stained by strong-coloured foods like curries?
A: The high-quality, non-porous glaze on this restaurant grade oval bone china plate is highly resistant to staining. A normal wash cycle is all that's needed to keep it looking brilliant white.
Q: What does 'non-glazed foot' mean?
A: This refers to the unpolished ring on the bottom of the plate. It's a deliberate design feature that provides extra grip, making the plates less likely to slide on tables and more stable when stacked.
Q: How many plates are in a box?
A: These are sold in boxes containing 6 plates, which is perfect for either a small-scale upgrade or a full restock of your dining room.
Q: Is the Royal Bone Ascot FB638 oval plate part of a bigger collection?
A: Yes, it is part of the extensive Royal Bone Ascot collection. This means you can easily find matching side plates, bowls, and other items to create a fully cohesive tableware set.
Q: Does the oval shape make them difficult to stack?
A: Not at all. They are designed to nestle and stack securely and neatly, ensuring you can make the most of your valuable back-of-house storage space.

Choosing Royal Bone China isn't just about buying new plates; it's an investment in your brand's reputation for quality.

Explore more from Royal Bone ChinaMore Than Just a Base: The Secret of the Non-Glazed Foot
Ever wondered about that slightly rough, unpolished ring on the bottom of a quality plate? That's the 'non-glazed foot', and it’s a small detail that makes a massive difference in a professional kitchen. Think of it like the tread on a car tyre. While a fully glazed base can be slippery on smooth tablecloths or when stacked, this unglazed surface provides crucial grip. This means your stacks of plates are more secure on the shelf, and there's less chance of a plate sliding on the table if accidentally knocked. It's a clever, practical design feature that enhances safety and stability in a fast-paced environment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for presenting signature main courses or sharing dishes with sophisticated flair.
- Boutique Hotels: Ideal for elevating in-room dining services or for use in exclusive hotel restaurants.
- Event & Wedding Caterers: A durable and elegant choice that complements formal table settings for large functions.
- Gastropubs & Upscale Bistros: Great for showcasing speciality lunches or Sunday roasts, adding a touch of class.
