Churchill Isla Presentation Plate Shale Grey 305mm (Pack of 12)
£260.00(£312.00 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Churchill Isla Presentation Plate in Shale Grey is a 305mm plate from Churchill's Isla range, a collection designed around a coastal aesthetic. Each piece carries a dappled surface finish that gives the tableware a natural, tactile quality — a considered alternative to plain white or heavily decorated crockery for operators who want the plate itself to contribute to the presentation.
The Isla range is made from super vitrified china, which offers meaningfully better resistance to chipping and cracking than standard porcelain. In a commercial environment where plates are stacked, handled repeatedly during service, and run through commercial dishwashers on a daily basis, that durability makes a practical difference to replacement frequency and running costs. The shale grey finish holds its appearance well under regular warewashing and sits comfortably alongside neutral, earthy, and muted colour palettes.
At 305mm, this is a generous plate suited to main course plating, tasting menu covers, or as a base plate in more formal table settings. The size and weight make it a presentation piece rather than a high-turnover workhorse plate, and operators should factor that into stack storage and service flow planning.
- Super vitrified construction offers improved chip resistance under daily commercial use
- Dappled coastal finish suits contemporary, relaxed fine dining, and boutique hospitality settings
- 305mm diameter gives chefs confident space for main course and tasting menu plating
- Dishwasher safe for use in commercial warewashing environments
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for building out covers or supplementing an existing set
The Isla range is well suited to restaurants, boutique hotels, and event caterers looking for tableware with a distinct character. If you are building a full table setting or working out cover quantities, the team is glad to help you think it through.
Frequently asked questions
How does super vitrified china hold up in a busy restaurant environment?
Super vitrified china is fired at a higher density than standard porcelain, which gives it greater resistance to chipping and cracking during everyday handling, stacking, and commercial dishwashing. It is not indestructible, but operators typically find it meaningfully more durable than standard crockery under the same conditions, which helps reduce replacement spend over time.
Is the 305mm size practical for everyday service or is it better suited to specific covers?
At 305mm, the Isla Presentation Plate is a considered size rather than an everyday volume plate. It works well for main course plating, tasting menus, and formal or semi-formal covers where presentation is a priority. Operators running high-volume, fast-turnaround services may find a smaller, lighter plate more practical for the majority of covers.
How many packs would a restaurant typically need to open with this plate?
A general starting point is two to two-and-a-half times your seated cover count, to allow for plates in use, in the dishwasher cycle, and in reserve. For a 40-cover restaurant, that suggests somewhere in the region of four to five packs as a working set. If you want to talk through quantities based on your service style and turnover, the team is happy to help.
