Product Description
The Churchill Isla range is a commercial crockery collection with a coastal design influence, characterised by a dappled surface finish that gives each piece a tactile, handcrafted quality. This 170mm plate in Shale Grey is a side plate or dessert plate size, sold in packs of 12 as standard for catering operations.
Constructed from super vitrified china, the Isla plate is built to withstand the rigours of a busy food service environment. Super vitrified ware offers greater resistance to chipping and cracking than standard porcelain, which matters in kitchens and wash-up areas where breakage is a recurring cost. At 280g per plate, the Isla sits at a practical weight — substantial enough to feel considered at the table without being cumbersome for front-of-house staff handling multiple covers.
The Shale Grey colourway gives operators flexibility across a range of table settings, pairing well with neutral linens and natural materials. The dappled finish also helps disguise minor surface wear that accumulates with regular dishwasher use over time.
- Suitable for side, bread, or dessert service at 170mm
- Super vitrified construction reduces breakage rates in busy wash-up
- Consistent colourway and finish supports a cohesive table presentation
- Pack of 12 aligns with standard cover multiples for stock management
This plate is well suited to restaurants, cafés, hotels, and contract catering operations looking for a durable everyday plate with a degree of visual character. For operations requiring a full place setting, the Isla range extends across multiple plate sizes and complementary pieces.
If you're building out a full cover or matching existing Isla pieces, the team is happy to talk through quantities and range options before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Super vitrified china is specifically designed to withstand the temperature and mechanical demands of commercial dishwashers. The construction is more resistant to thermal shock and surface wear than standard porcelain, making it a practical choice for high-cycle wash-up environments.
- At 170mm, this is most commonly used as a side plate, bread plate, or dessert plate. It is not typically used as a main course plate, which generally falls in the 270–290mm range. If you need a full place setting, the Isla range includes larger plate sizes to complete the cover.
- Packs of 12 align well with standard cover multiples for most operations, though the right quantity depends on your cover count, table turn rate, and wash-up cycle time. As a general guide, most operators hold two to three times their peak cover count in crockery to maintain a buffer through a busy service.
