Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Courtyard Brasserie in Harrogate decided to overhaul its tableware ahead of a major menu relaunch. They wanted plates that reflected the new, refined dishes but could also handle a busy Saturday night service without constant chipping or breakages.

"We moved to the Ascot bone china plates and  the feedback was immediate. Customers commented on the presentation, and  my team loves how durable yet lightweight they are. They just feel like quality, which is exactly the message we want to send."

Michael Davies – Proprietor

The upgrade contributed to a significant uplift in social media tags and  positive reviews mentioning the 'beautiful presentation' of their food.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always inspect your delivery upon arrival to ensure no damage in transit.
  • Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
  • Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage before unboxing completely.

Keeping It Going

  • When washing, be mindful of the 70°C maximum temperature to protect the glaze long-term.
  • Avoid extreme temperature changes, like moving a plate from a freezer directly into a hot oven, to prevent thermal shock.
  • Stack plates of the same size together carefully to prevent chipping the rims. The glazed foot will protect the surface.
  • Check regularly for any small chips or cracks; remove any damaged items from service immediately for safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure what's best for your business? Choosing the right plates goes beyond just looks. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Material Matters

Bone china is light and  elegant, perfect for fine dining. Porcelain is a durable, all-round workhorse. Consider your style and  budget.

Check for Durability

Look for features like 'rolled edges' to prevent chipping and  'glazed feet' (like on these plates) to prevent scratching when stacked.

Size and  Shape

Does the plate size suit your portion control? A wide rim can make smaller portions look more generous. Round is classic, but square or oval can add a modern twist.

Functionality is Key

Ensure any tableware you choose is oven, microwave, and  dishwasher safe. It makes life in a busy kitchen so much easier.

Think About Storage

Will the plates stack neatly and  safely? Poorly designed plates can be unstable when stacked, leading to breakages and  wasted space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between bone china and  standard porcelain?

A: Bone china contains bone ash, which makes it lighter, thinner, and  more translucent than standard porcelain, while still being incredibly strong and  chip-resistant.

Q: Is the 240mm measurement the inner diameter or the full width?

A: This is the overall diameter of the plate from edge to edge, also known as 9.5 inches.

Q: Can I buy a single plate to see if I like it?

A: We can supply individual sample pieces for a small cost. Please give our team a call for details.

Q: Are these plates a brilliant white or more of a cream colour?

A: These Royal Bone China Ascot plates are a classic, clean white, providing a perfect neutral canvas for your food.

Q: How resistant are they to cutlery scratches?

A: The high-quality glaze provides excellent resistance to everyday cutlery marks, keeping them looking pristine for longer.

Q: Are they heavy to carry when stacked?

A: One of the benefits of bone china is that it's significantly lighter than porcelain, making it easier for staff to carry multiple plates.

Q: How should I stack them for storage?

A: Stack them vertically in piles of a manageable height. The super glazed foot is designed to prevent the base of one plate from scratching the surface of the one below it.

Q: Is the finish glossy or matte?

A: These plates feature a classic, high-gloss glaze that catches the light beautifully and  is easy to clean.

What is a 'Super Glazed Foot' and  Why Does it Matter?

Ever noticed the rough, unglazed ring on the bottom of a cheap plate? That's the foot. On standard crockery, it's often slightly abrasive and  porous. A 'Super Glazed Foot', however, means this entire base ring is sealed with a smooth layer of glaze. Think of it like the difference between a rough brick and  a polished tile. This small detail has two big benefits for a professional kitchen: it stops the plates from scratching each other when stacked, reducing wear and  tear, and  it makes them more hygienic as there are no porous surfaces for water or bacteria to cling to. It’s a simple feature that extends the life and  safety of your commercial bone china tableware.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for creating an elegant main course presentation that complements high-end cuisine.
  • Boutique Hotels: Ideal for in-room dining or restaurant service to enhance the guest experience.
  • Wedding & Event Venues: A reliable and  stylish choice for serving hundreds of guests with consistent quality.
  • Upscale Bistros & Gastropubs: An excellent way to elevate classic dishes and  justify a premium price point.
