Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Bistro in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, was struggling with its existing tableware. The plates were chipping constantly and looked tired, which detracted from their carefully plated, locally sourced dishes.
"We needed something that looked the part but could survive a hectic Saturday night service. These plates are brilliant – they still look brand new after months of use and our food presentation has never been better."
David Chen – Head Chef
Since making the switch, the bistro has reduced its crockery replacement costs by over 60% and has received multiple positive customer comments on its improved presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack your new plates carefully and give them a quick inspection for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Before their first use, run them through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- If you use a plate warmer, make sure it’s set to a suitable temperature to avoid extreme thermal shock.
- Stack them neatly in a designated, easy-to-access area, ready for a busy service.
Keeping It Going
- Always scrape off excess food before loading into the dishwasher to maintain washer efficiency.
- Stick to non-abrasive detergents and cleaning pads to protect the high-gloss glaze for longer.
- Stack carefully after cleaning. While they're tough, dropping a whole stack is never a good idea!
- Regularly check for any deep scratches or small chips and remove any damaged plates from service to ensure safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates a pure, brilliant white?
A: Yes, they feature a classic brilliant white finish, which is excellent for making the colours of your food really stand out.
Q: What exactly does a 'rolled edge' do?
A: The rim of the plate is thickened and rounded during manufacturing. This simple design feature makes it much more robust and resistant to chipping if knocked against a surface.
Q: Can I use these plates under a salamander grill?
A: Yes, as they are fully oven-safe, they are suitable for brief periods under high heat for finishing or melting toppings on a dish.
Q: How heavy is an individual plate?
A: With the box of 12 weighing 11.82kg, each plate is just under 1kg. This gives it a quality, substantial feel without being overly heavy for staff to carry.
Q: What is the 'Maxadura Advantage'?
A: It refers to Royal Porcelain's process of reinforcing the fine china with aluminium oxide, making the final product exceptionally strong and durable for commercial use.
Q: Will regular cutlery scratch the surface?
A: The glaze is specifically designed to be hard-wearing and to resist marks and scratches from everyday cutlery use, keeping the plates looking their best for longer.
Q: Are they fully vitrified?
A: Yes, they are fully vitrified, which means they have a very low porosity. This prevents them from absorbing moisture, odours, or stains from food.
Q: How securely do they stack?
A: They are designed with a uniform shape and a stable foot, allowing for neat and secure stacking, which is essential for saving space in a professional kitchen.

Explore more from Royal PorcelainWhat Makes 'Maxadura' Advantage So Tough?
When you hear 'fine china', you might think of something delicate, but the 'Maxadura' quality in these plates turns that idea on its head. The secret is the addition of aluminium oxide to the porcelain during manufacturing. Think of it like adding steel rebar to concrete. The porcelain provides the classic shape and smooth, white finish, but the microscopic aluminium oxide particles create an incredibly strong internal structure. This 'scaffolding' makes the plate far more resistant to the knocks, bumps, and temperature shocks (like going from a hot oven to a cooler surface) that are a daily reality in a professional kitchen. It's how you get elegance without fragility.
