Delivery Information

Price Match

The Churchill Bit on the Side Round Dish is a compact white crockery piece designed to sit alongside a main plate, carrying sauces, garnishes, side portions, or small sharing elements without crowding the cover. At 160mm across, it occupies a practical footprint that works comfortably on most table settings, from casual dining through to more considered restaurant formats.

The construction is the detail that matters most in a commercial environment. Churchill's super vitrified china is fired at higher temperatures than standard earthenware, producing a denser, more resilient body. In practice, that means the dishes hold up reliably through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without the crazing and chipping that shortens the life of lower-grade crockery. For operators running high covers daily, that durability has a direct effect on replacement frequency and the cost of maintaining consistent crockery counts over time.

  • Super vitrified body resists chipping and crazing under commercial dishwasher use
  • Microwave safe, supporting flexible reheating workflows during service
  • Clean white glaze presents consistently across different cuisine styles and table formats
  • Compact size works alongside standard dinner plates without overcrowding the cover
  • Sold in packs of 12, practical for topping up existing sets or establishing initial stock

The dishes are sold in packs of 12, which suits most operators building out or replenishing a Bit on the Side collection. The range is widely stocked, making it straightforward to match pieces across different shapes within the same collection.

If you're specifying crockery quantities for a new concept or want to talk through what works for your service style, the team is glad to help.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need for a typical restaurant service?

That depends on your covers, service style, and dishwasher turnaround time. As a general guide, most operators aim to hold at least one and a half to two times their seated cover count in side dishes to absorb the gap between table turns and wash cycles. If you run multiple sittings or a particularly fast-paced service, it's worth building in additional contingency.

Are these dishes suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes. The super vitrified construction is designed to withstand the repeated thermal and mechanical stresses of commercial dishwasher cycles. This type of vitrified china is the standard choice for high-volume catering operations precisely because it holds up better than standard earthenware under daily machine washing.

Can these dishes be used as standalone snack or sharing plates, or are they only suited as side dishes?

They work well in both roles. The 160mm size and 170ml capacity make them practical for small sharing portions, dips, condiments, or snack-style starters, not just as a side companion to a main plate. Their versatility is one of the reasons the Bit on the Side range is commonly found across casual dining, bar food, and sharing-plate concepts.
