Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Willow Creek Manor, a boutique hotel in Harrogate, wanted to revitalise its renowned afternoon tea service to create a more memorable, premium experience. They decided to replace their standard white porcelain with the Royal Crown Derby Crushed Velvet collection.

"The moment we unboxed these plates, we knew we'd made the right choice. Our pastries and  sandwiches look like works of art on them. Guests constantly comment on the tableware, and  we've seen a definite uptick in photos of our afternoon tea shared on social media."

Daniel Williams – F&B Manager

Following the upgrade, the hotel noted a 25% increase in positive online reviews specifically mentioning the dining presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Use & Setup

  • Unpack carefully, checking each plate for any transit damage.
  • Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before first use.
  • Stack with care, using plate separators if storing for long periods to protect the finish.
  • Brief staff on their premium nature to ensure careful handling from day one.

Keeping It Looking Perfect

  • While dishwasher safe, avoid abrasive detergents or scouring pads which can dull the surface over time.
  • Handle with clean hands to prevent grease marks on the unique textured surface.
  • Check regularly for any signs of wear and  tear, removing any chipped items from service immediately.
  • For stubborn stains, a gentle soak in warm, soapy water is usually sufficient.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Luxury Tableware

Not sure what fits best for your establishment? Here are a few things to consider when investing in premium plates.

Match the Size to the Course

A 164mm plate like this is perfect for starters, side dishes, or desserts. Ensure your chosen size complements your portion control and  plating style.

Consider Your Colour Palette

The pearl finish is wonderfully versatile. Think about how it will pair with your existing décor, tablecloths, and, most importantly, the colours of your food.

Coupe vs. Rimmed Plates

Coupe plates offer a modern, borderless canvas, giving you more usable surface area. Rimmed plates are more traditional and  help to frame the food.

Material Matters

Fine bone china offers a premium look and  feel with surprising strength. It's an investment, so consider if it matches your brand's positioning compared to stoneware or porcelain.

Build a Cohesive Collection

This plate is part of a wider collection. Think about whether you want matching side plates, bowls, and  platters for a completely unified look.
