Dishes

The Emile Henry Ceramic Gastronorm is a 1/3 GN food service dish made from ceramic and designed specifically for professional catering use. Unlike standard ceramic tableware, this range has been built to the gastronorm standard, meaning it sits correctly in chafing dishes, bain maries, and hot or cold display counters without modification or adapters.

In service, ceramic holds heat well once warmed through, making it a practical choice for buffet and counter display where food needs to stay at temperature between replenishment. The extra-thick base helps protect against thermal shock during repeated heating and cooling cycles, which is a common cause of cracking in lesser ceramic pieces used in commercial settings. The rolled trim adds structural resilience to the edges, which take the most punishment during daily handling and washing.

• Compatible with standard chafing dishes and hot or cold counters
• Thick base reduces risk of cracking under repeated thermal cycling
• Rolled trim protects against chipping at the edges
• Stackable for practical storage when not in service
• Suitable for oven use as well as counter display

At 4.8kg, this dish carries some weight, which is worth factoring in if front-of-house staff will be handling it regularly during service. It is a 1/3 GN size, so it fits alongside other 1/3 GN inserts within a full-size or two-thirds frame. For operators needing larger presentation dishes within the same system, full GN or 1/2 GN ceramic options may be more appropriate.

This dish suits hotels, restaurants, and catering operations running buffet or carvery service where the appearance of ceramic is preferred over stainless steel. It is particularly well suited to ambient or heated counter display rather than high-intensity kitchen production use.

If you are building out a full counter display setup and want to confirm compatibility with your existing chafing or counter equipment, the team is happy to help.

The Pyrex 1.5 litre loaf dish is a straightforward glass baking dish suited to bread, terrines, pâtés, and loaf-style cakes. It is made from borosilicate glass, which handles the thermal movement between oven heat and cooler surfaces more reliably than standard glass — a practical consideration when dishes are moving between oven, worktop, and refrigerator during a busy prep shift.

In a commercial context, this dish is best understood as a prep and presentation piece rather than high-throughput production bakeware. The glass construction allows even heat distribution during baking, and the transparent sides let you monitor progress without opening the oven. The two integrated handles make it manageable when transferring a hot dish, though standard oven cloths or gloves remain necessary.

Practically, the dish offers a few useful characteristics for kitchen use:

• Borosilicate glass resists thermal shock, reducing the risk of cracking under normal kitchen temperature changes
• Non-porous glass surface does not absorb odours or flavours between uses
• Suitable for oven, freezer, and refrigerator use within normal catering workflows
• Smooth surface is straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
• Can move directly from oven to table for buffet or counter service presentation

This is a single-piece glass item with no special installation or utility requirements. It is worth noting that glass bakeware of this type is not suited to direct flame, hob use, or broiler/grill elements at close range. Dropping or knocking against hard surfaces remains the most common cause of breakage, so storage considerations in a busy kitchen are worth thinking through.

The Pyrex loaf dish is well suited to small catering operations, hotel breakfast kitchens, café bakeries, and prep kitchens producing individual loaf portions or moulded dishes. It is not intended for high-volume production environments where stackable metal or silicone bakeware would typically be more practical.

If you are unsure whether this dish fits your prep workflow or portion requirements, we are happy to help you think it through.

These oval eared dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a straightforward, practical choice for commercial food service. The traditional oval form with side ears is well suited to serving individual portions of gratin, pasta, or baked dishes directly from oven to table, and the clean white glaze keeps presentation consistent across a full table setting.

Olympia's Whiteware is fully vitrified porcelain, which means the body absorbs very little moisture and the glaze holds up well under repeated commercial use. The rolled, reinforced edges reduce the risk of chipping during handling, stacking, and dishwasher cycles — a practical consideration in any operation where crockery turns over quickly. These dishes are oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe, so they can move through a typical service workflow without restriction.

For high-volume operations running multiple sittings, a few practical points are worth considering. Porcelain of this type performs reliably in standard commercial dishwashers, but thermal shock from rapid temperature changes — for example, moving directly from a very hot oven into cold water — should be avoided to extend service life. The pack of six makes initial stocking straightforward, though most operations will want to order in multiples to build a working float that accounts for breakages over time.

These dishes are a sensible fit for hotels, canteens, pub kitchens, and casual dining restaurants looking for a durable, cost-effective whiteware option. If you're equipping a larger operation or want guidance on quantities and complementary pieces within the range, the team is happy to help you work through what you'll need.

These Olympia stoneware pie bowls are a practical choice for operations serving individual pies, pot dishes, or baked sides directly from oven to table. Made from stoneware rather than standard earthenware, they offer a denser, more robust construction that holds up better in the daily cycle of oven use, service, and dishwasher cleaning.

In a busy service environment, the ability to move dishes directly from the oven to the pass without transferring food saves time and reduces the risk of spills. The round format at 119mm suits a standard individual portion — comfortable for a shortcrust or puff pastry pie, a small gratin, or a baked vegetable side.

• Oven to tableware — suitable for direct service without plating transfer
• Stoneware construction is more resistant to chipping than lighter earthenware alternatives
• Consistent sizing supports portion control across covers
• Dishwasher safe, supporting high-turnover cleaning routines
• Sold in packs of six, practical for batch purchasing

These bowls are well suited to pubs, cafés, carveries, and casual dining restaurants where rustic, individual-portion presentation is part of the offer. They are not intended for induction or direct flame use. For sites with very high cover counts or particularly heavy-handed service environments, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or larger format bowl would better match the operation.

If you are unsure which size or format fits your menu and service style, we are happy to help you work through the options before you order.

These Churchill round pie dishes are a practical, reliable choice for kitchens and catering operations that serve individual pies, baked dishes, or hot desserts as a regular part of the menu. Made from vitrified porcelain and finished in black, they are built to hold up under the repetitive handling, high oven temperatures, and dishwasher cycles that are unavoidable in a busy commercial environment.

In service, porcelain retains heat well once dishes leave the oven, which helps food arrive at the table at the right temperature even during a busy service period. The chip-resistant construction is important in a commercial setting where dishes are stacked, moved quickly, and washed repeatedly — attrition on standard crockery can be significant over time, and Churchill's vitrified porcelain is a known performer in this regard.

From an operational standpoint, these dishes offer a few clear practical advantages:

• Consistent presentation across covers with a clean, uniform black finish
• Suitable for oven-to-table service, reducing the need for transfer dishes
• Dishwasher safe and straightforward to keep clean to a high standard
• Sold in a pack of 12, making stock management and replacement straightforward
• Robust enough for daily commercial use without rapid deterioration

At 135mm in diameter, these are sized for individual portions. They are well suited to pubs, restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations where individual pie or baked dish service is part of a regular menu. If you are serving larger sharing portions or need a smaller ramekin-style dish, other sizes within the Churchill range may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a crockery specification or need to match these to an existing Churchill range, the team is happy to assist with quantities and suitability before you order.

The Steelite Simplicity square roaster is an alumina vitrified ceramic dish designed for professional oven-to-table service. At 255mm across and holding just under two litres, it sits comfortably in the mid-size range for individual portions or sharing dishes — practical for braises, roasted vegetables, gratins, pasta bakes, and similar preparations that move directly from cooking to the pass.

In a working kitchen, the material does most of the practical work. Alumina vitrified ceramic handles thermal shock well, meaning these dishes can move from frozen storage into a hot oven without the cracking risk associated with cheaper ceramics. That removes a handling step and reduces breakage risk during prep and service, which matters when you are running a full section. The glaze is robust enough for daily commercial use and the white finish holds up against the kind of staining and marking that accumulates quickly in a busy environment.

Key practical points for kitchen operators:

• Thermal shock resistance supports freezer-to-oven workflow without pre-conditioning
• Oven-to-table presentation reduces the need for separate serving dishes
• Alumina vitrified ceramic construction offers durability above standard earthenware
• Lifetime edge chip warranty reflects confidence in day-to-day resilience
• Sold in a pack of six, suited to batch purchasing for consistent table presentation

These are straightforward pieces with no installation requirements. Storage space and existing crockery aesthetic are the main practical considerations — the square format stacks efficiently but takes slightly more shelf space than equivalent round dishes. The pack-of-six format suits operations setting up a section or standardising their cookware range.

These roasters are well suited to restaurants, gastropubs, and hotel kitchens that serve oven-cooked dishes directly at the table. For very high-volume or banqueting environments where throughput demands a larger format or deeper capacity, it is worth reviewing other sizes in the Simplicity range first.

If you are unsure which size or quantity best fits your menu and service style, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The Utopia Avebury Blue Mini Casserole Dish is a small stoneware serving dish designed for individual portion presentation at the table. Made from stoneware with a distinctive blue-rimmed enamel-style finish, it holds 250ml and suits a range of dishes from soups and stews to gratins, dips, and side portions. This pack contains twelve dishes.

In a busy service environment, consistency of presentation matters as much as the food itself. The Avebury Blue pattern gives front-of-house a cohesive, recognisable look that works well in casual dining, gastropubs, and café settings where a rustic or heritage-influenced table aesthetic fits the menu style. Stoneware holds residual heat reasonably well once warmed, which helps maintain dish temperature from pass to table during a steady service.

• Blue-rimmed enamel-style finish for consistent table presentation
• Stoneware construction with practical heat retention properties
• Suitable for individual portion service of soups, stews, sides, and dips
• Pack of twelve supports table cover requirements without frequent restocking
• Compact 105mm diameter suits small portions and shared-table service styles

As a tableware item, there are no installation requirements. The dishes are stoneware, so standard dishwasher use is typical in commercial operations, though checking manufacturer care guidance before putting them through a high-temperature commercial cycle is worthwhile. The 4.8kg pack weight is worth noting when planning storage, particularly in high shelving or confined back-of-house areas.

These dishes are well suited to restaurants, gastropubs, and cafés serving individual portions in a relaxed or informal setting. The Avebury Blue range is part of a wider matched collection, so operators looking to build a coordinated table scheme across multiple piece types may find it worth exploring the full range.

If you are specifying tableware across a new site or planning a refresh and want to talk through quantities or range fit, the team is happy to help.

These Churchill oval pie dishes are a straightforward, practical choice for catering operations that serve individual portion pies, pot roasts, gratins, or baked pasta dishes. Made from vitrified porcelain, they are built to move directly from oven to table, which suits most pub kitchens, carveries, and café operations where speed of plating matters and presentation is part of the service.

Porcelain of this type handles the thermal cycling of a busy service well — going from a hot oven to a pass or table without the cracking risk associated with lower-grade ceramics. The material also retains heat effectively, which helps keep individual portion dishes warm through the time it takes to reach the customer. In a high-turnover environment, that consistency matters.

From a practical standpoint, these dishes offer a few clear operational advantages:

• Oven-to-table construction removes the need for transfer dishes at service
• Chip-resistant porcelain holds up well to everyday stacking and handling
• White glaze is commercially dishwasher safe and resists staining over time
• Consistent oval profile makes portioning and presentation straightforward
• Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to batch purchasing for section stock

These are standard-depth individual dishes. They are well suited to operations serving single-portion baked items where a shallow-rimmed, oven-safe vessel is needed. For operations serving deeper filled pies or requiring a larger portion size, it is worth checking whether a higher-capacity dish would be more appropriate for your menu.

If you are unsure whether this size works for your portion specification or menu format, the team is happy to help you work through it before you order.

The Churchill Stonecast round eared dish in Barley White is a compact serving piece designed for presenting sides, vegetables, fries, and small sharing portions at the table. The shallow, wide profile makes portioning and plating straightforward, and the integrated ears on either side allow front-of-house staff to carry and place dishes cleanly without reaching across the food — a practical detail in fast-paced service environments.

Made from Churchill's super vitrified ceramic, these dishes are built to withstand the knocks and thermal stress of daily commercial use. The material is noticeably more resistant to chipping than standard ceramic tableware, which matters in a busy kitchen or wash-up area where dishes move quickly and handling is rarely gentle. The kiln-reactive glaze produces a speckled finish that varies slightly piece to piece, giving the Barley White colourway a handcrafted quality that works well with rustic, modern-casual, and contemporary menu styles alike.

• Eared design allows safe carrying and clean placement at the table
• Super vitrified ceramic resists chipping in high-turnover environments
• Kiln-reactive glaze adds visual texture without compromising durability
• Fully dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround during service
• Consistent sizing supports portioned side dishes and sharing presentation

These dishes are suited to restaurants, bistros, pubs, and hotels where presentation matters and tableware takes heavy daily use. The 180mm diameter makes them appropriate for side dishes and accompaniments rather than main course plating. They are sold in packs of six, which suits operators looking to build or top up a matching set within the broader Stonecast range.

If you are building a full table setting or matching these to other Stonecast pieces, our team is happy to help you select complementary sizes and shapes — feel free to get in touch before placing a larger order.

The Masterclass 2.5Ltr Casserole Dish is a lidded cast aluminium cooking vessel designed for braising, stewing, and slow-cooked preparations. It follows the traditional casserole format — deep-sided with a close-fitting lid — but uses cast aluminium rather than cast iron, which significantly reduces the overall weight whilst retaining good heat distribution across the base and sides.

In a working kitchen environment, cast aluminium performs reliably for low-to-medium heat cooking. The material conducts heat evenly and holds temperature reasonably well once up to temperature, making it a practical choice for batch-cooked sauces, braised proteins, or vegetable dishes prepared ahead of service. At this capacity, it is best suited to small-batch work rather than high-volume production runs.

The double-layer non-stick interior coating aids both food release and cleaning, which matters during a busy turnaround between services. Key practical points worth noting:

• Lightweight aluminium construction reduces fatigue compared to cast iron equivalents
• Non-stick interior coating supports easy cleaning and reduces food adhesion
• Fitted lid retains heat and moisture during slow cooking or holding
• Suitable for use on most hob types — confirm induction compatibility before purchase
• Finished in a metallic blue exterior, which lends itself to table or counter presentation

This dish is well suited to small kitchens, prep areas, or operations that need a compact, easy-to-handle casserole for individual or small-portion cooking. It is not designed for high-throughput volume production, and operators with significant daily output across multiple portions would be better served by a larger or heavier-duty option from the range.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your service requirements, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Utopia Avebury Blue pie dish is a stoneware baking and serving dish finished in the Avebury Blue style — a blue-rimmed design with a traditional enamelware appearance. At 240mm, it is a practical size for individual and sharing portions of pies, crumbles, and baked dishes, and it moves from oven to table without requiring a separate serving vessel.

Stoneware holds heat well, which helps keep food at a reasonable temperature during service without the dish cooling rapidly on the pass. The robust construction suits the everyday handling of a busy kitchen environment, and the design works particularly well in settings where a rustic or traditional aesthetic is part of the food presentation.

Practical advantages for kitchen and front-of-house teams include:

• Oven-to-table format reduces plating steps and speeds service
• Consistent presentation across the table with a recognisable pattern
• Stoneware retains heat to support temperature through the meal
• Supplied in a pack of six, suited to batch purchasing for busy covers
• A straightforward pattern that complements both rustic and casual dining table settings

These dishes require normal crockery handling and storage. As with all stoneware, care should be taken to avoid thermal shock — moving directly from a very cold environment to a very hot oven is not advisable. Standard commercial dishwasher use is typical for this category, though confirming dishwasher suitability with the manufacturer before use in high-cycle environments is worthwhile.

The Avebury Blue dish is well suited to pubs, gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, and café kitchens where baked or oven-finished dishes feature regularly on the menu. Operations with higher-volume requirements may wish to consider whether a larger pack size or a more neutral pattern better fits their service style.

If you are building out a tableware range and want to discuss how this fits alongside other pieces in the Avebury Blue collection, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Utopia Titan round eared dish is a compact, single-portion piece made from super-vitrified porcelain. At 130mm in diameter, it is commonly used for individual starters, side dishes, and oven-to-table service — the eared design giving staff a secure, practical grip when moving hot dishes during a busy service.

Super-vitrified porcelain is a proven choice in commercial hospitality environments. It is considerably more resistant to chipping and surface crazing than standard porcelain, which matters in operations where tableware is handled repeatedly across multiple sittings and passes through commercial dishwashers daily. The Titan range is built with this kind of sustained use in mind, holding its appearance well over time without requiring special handling.

• Super-vitrified porcelain construction for chip and craze resistance
• Eared rim gives a firm, safe grip when serving hot dishes
• Suitable for oven, dishwasher, and microwave use
• Consistent finish supports a uniform table presentation
• Compact 130mm format well suited to individual portions and sides

These dishes are sold in packs of 12, which suits most operations purchasing to build or replace stock in volume. For kitchens running larger covers or higher turnover on tableware, it is straightforward to order multiple packs to reach the quantity needed.

If you are building out a full table setting or need guidance on matching pieces within the Titan range, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your covers and service style.

This is a traditional cast iron roasting dish with a cream enamelled interior, supplied in black. At 5 litres capacity it sits in the mid-range of roasting dish sizes — large enough for a substantial joint or a full batch of root vegetables, without being unwieldy in day-to-day service.

Cast iron performs consistently well in commercial environments because of the way it holds and distributes heat. Once the dish is up to temperature, it maintains that heat across the entire base and sides rather than concentrating it at the point of contact. This is particularly useful when moving between oven and hob, finishing a dish at the pass, or holding food during a busy service period. The thermal mass also means the dish retains warmth after it leaves the oven, which reduces the risk of food cooling on the counter before plating.

The enamelled interior means the dish does not require seasoning in the same way an untreated cast iron pan would, which makes it more practical in a kitchen where multiple staff handle equipment. The enamel also makes cleaning more straightforward and avoids the rust concerns associated with bare cast iron.

• Compatible with gas, electric, induction, and ceramic ranges — no dedicated equipment required
• Heat retention supports energy-efficient cooking and reduces the need for re-heating
• Enamelled surface is easier to maintain than raw cast iron in a multi-user environment
• Robust construction suited to regular use in a professional kitchen

It is worth noting that at just under 5kg empty, this dish is heavier than pressed steel or aluminium alternatives. Staff handling it frequently — particularly when full — should be aware of the additional weight. It is well suited to smaller restaurant kitchens, pub kitchens, and catering operations where roasting and braising form a regular part of the menu.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your service volumes or want guidance on the range, we are happy to help.

The Revol Belle Cuisine roasting dish is a glazed porcelain piece finished to resemble cast iron, giving it a robust, professional appearance that works equally well in a commercial oven and on a dining table. At 340mm in length and 3.5 litres capacity, it sits in a practical mid-size bracket — large enough for a generous individual portion presentation or a small shared dish, but compact enough to move around a busy kitchen without awkwardness.

Revol manufactures in France using a high-fired porcelain that withstands repeated oven use without warping or crazing. The cast iron finish is purely aesthetic, but the construction itself is genuinely durable under the daily thermal cycling that commercial kitchens put cookware through. Unlike actual cast iron, there is no seasoning requirement and no risk of rust — it goes straight into the dishwasher at the end of service.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Integrated porcelain handles with rounded edges for secure grip when moving hot dishes
• Oven-safe construction that supports direct service from oven to table, saving plating time
• Non-porous glazed surface that does not absorb flavours or odours between uses
• Dishwasher-safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
• Consistent presentation finish that holds up well in a front-of-house setting

This dish is well suited to restaurants, gastropubs, or hotel kitchens that serve individual or small shared portions and want cookware that presents neatly at the table without requiring a separate serving vessel. It is not intended for high-volume batch cooking or applications requiring large-format roasting trays.

If you are considering this dish for a specific menu format or service style and want to confirm it is the right fit, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Churchill Black Igneous pie dish is a stoneware serving and baking dish from Churchill's Art de Cuisine range. At 140mm across and holding 400ml, it is sized for individual portions — practical for plated pie dishes, baked desserts, or any preparation where food goes from oven to table in the same vessel. The exposed stoneware base and glazed upper surface are characteristic of the Igneous range, giving a rustic, tactile finish that presents well on a dressed table without requiring transfer to a separate serving dish.

Stoneware of this type is well suited to kitchens that need to move portions efficiently during service. The dish retains heat usefully once out of the oven, which helps maintain food temperature between kitchen pass and table, particularly in busier operations where plating and service do not always happen simultaneously. The unglazed base gives a stable, non-slip quality on prep surfaces and wooden boards.

• Oven-safe stoneware construction handles both preparation and table service
• Heat retention helps maintain food temperature from pass to table
• Glazed interior surface is straightforward to clean and supports hygiene routines
• Individual portion sizing reduces plating time and improves consistency of serve
• Robust stoneware body stands up to regular commercial use

Being stoneware, these dishes are heavier than their ceramic or melamine equivalents — each piece weighs 470g — which is worth considering for high-turnover covers where front-of-house staff are handling large numbers of dishes per service. Dishwasher compatibility should be confirmed against your specific machine settings, though stoneware of this type is generally suited to commercial dishwasher cycles.

These dishes are well suited to restaurants, gastropubs, hotel restaurants, and catering operations that serve individually portioned hot dishes and want a consistent, presentable vessel that moves from kitchen to table without fuss. Sold in packs of six, they are practical for building up stock gradually. If your operation runs high cover volumes across multiple sittings, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would be more economical.

If you are specifying tableware across a full menu and want to make sure the Igneous range fits your service style and cover volume, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Vogue Round Casserole Dish is a traditional cast iron pot with a fitted lid, stainless steel knob, and dual handles. At 3.2 litres capacity, it sits in the mid-range for single-portion to small-batch cooking, and the black enamel finish makes it equally practical for kitchen-to-table presentation.

Cast iron is a well-established material in professional kitchens for good reason. It heats evenly across the base and sides, holds that heat reliably once up to temperature, and performs consistently whether on a gas hob, solid top, or induction surface. For braised dishes, casseroles, soups, and slow-cooked menu items, this kind of steady, retained heat produces more consistent results than thinner cookware that responds quickly to temperature changes. At nearly 4kg, it has the mass to back that up.

In practical terms, the benefits for a working kitchen include:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots and scorching
• Strong heat retention keeps contents warm during plating and short holds
• Induction compatible, so it works across a range of hob types
• Enamel interior is straightforward to clean and resists staining over time
• Dual handles give a secure, balanced grip when moving between surfaces

One consideration worth noting: cast iron requires careful handling to avoid chipping the enamel, and it should not be subjected to sudden thermal shock — moving it from a very hot surface directly into cold water will eventually cause damage. It is also heavier than equivalent stainless or aluminium cookware, which is worth bearing in mind for busy services where staff are lifting repeatedly.

This dish is well suited to small restaurants, bistros, pub kitchens, and catering operations where individual or small-portion presentation matters. It works particularly well for menu items served directly in the pot. For kitchens needing larger batch capacity, bigger variants in this range are available.

If you are putting together a new cookware set or want to talk through what sizes suit your menu, we are happy to help you work it out before you order.

These oval pie bowls from Olympia are made from stoneware and designed to go from oven to table without the need to transfer food to a separate serving dish. The earthen finish gives them a traditional, rustic appearance that sits comfortably in pub dining rooms, bistros, and casual restaurant settings.

In a busy service environment, the ability to cook and serve in the same vessel saves time and reduces washing up. The stoneware construction retains heat well, which helps keep individual portions at temperature during service — a practical advantage when covers are turning quickly or tables are seated at different times. The oval format is well suited to individual pie portions, but works equally well for baked pasta dishes, gratins, and roasted vegetables.

Key practical points for front-of-house and kitchen teams:

• Stoneware construction offers good resistance to everyday chipping in a catering environment
• Oven-safe, allowing food to be finished or held in the dish itself
• Oval format suits individual pie portions and a range of baked dishes
• Earthy glaze finish works well with informal and gastropub dining aesthetics
• Supplied in a pack of six, simplifying stock management for standard cover counts

As with all tableware used in commercial settings, longevity depends on handling practice and dishwasher loading — stoneware is durable but not indestructible, and operators running high covers should consider holding adequate spares stock. These bowls are a practical fit for sites serving individual hot dishes regularly, from pub kitchens to small bistros.

If you're unsure whether these suit your service style or you need advice on quantities for your cover count, we're happy to help you work it out before you order.

These Churchill round eared pie dishes are a practical, hardwearing option for kitchens serving individual portions of pies, casseroles, gratins, or baked pasta dishes. Made from porcelain and finished in black, they are designed for repeated use in demanding catering environments where durability and presentation consistency both matter.

Porcelain construction gives these dishes good heat retention, which helps keep food at a suitable serving temperature between coming out of the oven and reaching the table. They can go from oven to pass without any intermediate handling issue, and the eared design makes them practical for kitchen staff to move safely when hot.

• Chip-resistant porcelain suitable for busy kitchen use
• Good heat retention helps maintain serving temperature at pass
• Eared handles allow safe handling directly from the oven
• Black finish presents cleanly on the plate without showing discolouration
• Supplied in a pack of six, practical for batch restocking

These dishes are straightforwardly stackable for storage and are compatible with commercial dishwashers, which keeps turnaround manageable during busy service periods. The porcelain material is non-porous, supporting good hygiene standards with routine washing.

They are well suited to pub kitchens, hotel restaurants, bistros, and casual dining operations that serve portion-baked dishes regularly. The pack of six format suits kitchens that need to build or replace stock in sensible quantities. For higher-volume operations running extended service periods with large covers, it is worth considering how many packs are needed to maintain adequate rotation through the dishwasher cycle.

If you are unsure how many dishes your service volume requires, or whether this size is the right fit for your menu, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Churchill Art de Cuisine Igneous range is a vitrified stoneware collection designed to bring a rustic, tactile quality to plated desserts and savoury pies in a casual dining or pub setting. These 160mm individual pie dishes carry an embossed line detail and a distinctive biscuit-edged rim that gives each piece a handmade character without sacrificing the consistency a busy kitchen needs. Sold in packs of six, they are a practical choice for operators who want a coherent table presentation across covers.

Vitrified stoneware is a well-proven material in commercial foodservice. It is appreciably more durable than standard earthenware under the repeated thermal cycling of oven-to-table service, and the dense, non-porous body resists staining and absorbing odours over time. That said, stoneware is heavier than porcelain alternatives, and operators handling high volumes of tableware quickly in a tight pot-wash environment should factor that into their assessment.

In practical terms, these dishes suit operations where the rustic aesthetic adds to the dining experience rather than simply being a functional vessel. Common uses include individual pot pies, crumbles, gratins, and baked desserts served directly to the table. The 160mm size is well suited to a single-portion main or a generous dessert portion.

• Oven-safe construction for direct kitchen-to-table service
• Embossed rustic finish consistent across the pack for uniform table presentation
• Dense vitrified body resists staining and thermal shock
• Pairs well with wooden platters and other pieces in the Art de Cuisine range

These dishes work best in settings where informal, character-led presentation is part of the concept — gastro pubs, casual dining restaurants, and café-style operations are the most natural fit. For venues requiring lighter tableware or a more formal finish, a porcelain alternative would be worth considering.

If you are building out a full table setting within the Igneous range or want to discuss portion sizing and volume requirements for your menu, we are happy to help work through the options.

These Churchill oval eared dishes are a standard piece of porcelain bakeware commonly used across pub kitchens, carveries, restaurants, and contract catering operations. The eared design provides a practical grip point for handling hot dishes during service, and the oval format suits individual pie portions, gratin dishes, and similar oven-baked menu items.

Churchill's cookware range is built with the demands of commercial kitchens in mind. The porcelain construction offers reliable heat retention once the dish comes out of the oven, which helps keep individual portions at a consistent temperature during plating and at the pass. The chip-resistant finish is a practical consideration in a busy kitchen where dishwasher cycling and general handling take their toll on tableware over time.

Key practical points for operators:

• Chip-resistant porcelain handles the rigours of commercial dishwasher use
• Good heat retention supports consistent presentation during service
• Eared rim aids safe handling of hot dishes without additional cloths
• Black finish is well suited to modern plating styles and buffet presentation
• Supplied in a pack of six, practical for building up service stock gradually

These dishes are oven safe and suitable for use in a conventional oven environment. They are not designed for direct flame or induction use. The black finish, while durable, is worth considering against your existing tableware before ordering in volume.

This size works well for individual portions in a mid-volume operation. Sites running high covers with heavy bakeware turnover may want to consider whether a larger pack quantity better suits their stock rotation. If you're putting together a full bakeware range or matching to existing Churchill tableware, it's worth a conversation with the team before committing to quantities.

The Churchill Stonecast Oval Eared Dishes are part of Churchill's well-established Stonecast range — a collection designed specifically for professional food service environments. Finished in Barley White with a hand-painted rim and kiln-reactive speckled glaze, each piece carries a natural, slightly irregular character that suits contemporary plating styles without looking contrived. The super vitrified ceramic construction meets commercial durability standards and is intended for repeated daily use across multiple services.

In a working kitchen, the oval format lends itself to side portions, roasted or braised vegetables, gratin preparations, and sharing-style starters or accompaniments. The eared handles give kitchen staff a reliable grip point when moving dishes from the oven or pass, and allow front-of-house staff to carry and place dishes confidently without additional serving equipment. This direct oven-to-table capability supports a cleaner service flow and reduces the need for separate presentation vessels.

• Eared handles provide a secure grip during plating and table service
• Kiln-reactive glaze gives each piece a consistent, handcrafted appearance
• Suitable for conventional and combi oven use with direct-to-table presentation
• Super vitrified ceramic construction resists chipping under commercial daily use
• Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround between covers

Being ceramic, these dishes are not suitable for direct flame or induction hobs. Operators should avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes, as this can cause thermal shock — allow dishes to come to room temperature before transferring between very cold and very hot environments where possible. The 232mm length is the larger format available in this eared dish style; a smaller option exists within the range for lighter accompaniment portions if your menu calls for it.

These dishes are a practical choice for restaurants, gastro pubs, and hotel dining rooms where presentation consistency matters and the menu includes side dishes or shared plates. They are less well suited to high-volume canteen or welfare catering environments where heavier stoneware or melamine may hold up better under more intensive handling. The pack of six offers a sensible starting quantity for assessing how the format works within your existing table layout and crockery set before ordering larger volumes.

If you'd like to talk through which size or finish fits your menu format and service style, the team is glad to help you work it out.

Churchill's oval eared dishes are a familiar sight in commercial kitchens across the UK — a practical, hardwearing piece of oven-to-tableware that handles the full journey from prep oven to dining table without fuss. Made from porcelain in a clean white finish, these dishes are sold in packs of six, which suits the kind of batch purchasing that keeps a busy kitchen stocked without constant reordering.

In service, the eared design is the detail that earns its keep. The raised handles allow kitchen staff to move hot dishes safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of burns and spillage during plating or pass-through. Porcelain retains heat well once brought up to temperature, which helps keep food at the right serving temperature for longer — useful when covers are going out in waves rather than all at once.

• Chip-resistant porcelain construction holds up to daily commercial use
• Oven-to-tableware suitability reduces the need for transfer dishes at service
• Eared handles allow safe handling of hot dishes during busy service
• White glaze presents food cleanly and is straightforward to keep looking fresh
• Sold in packs of six, suited to batch purchasing and stock rotation

These dishes are well suited to restaurants, gastro pubs, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where a reliable, presentable piece of cookware is needed for everyday use. They work equally well for individual portions as for sharing dishes at the table. For operations requiring a significantly larger capacity dish or a different shape profile, alternatives are available within the Churchill range.

If you are equipping a kitchen from scratch or building out your cookware stock and would like to talk through quantities or suitability, the team is happy to help.

These Olympia Whiteware soufflé dishes are straightforward, functional pieces of porcelain tableware designed for everyday commercial use. Part of Olympia's established Whiteware range, they offer a consistent white finish that works alongside most existing crockery without standing out awkwardly on the table.

In a busy service environment, crockery takes a sustained amount of punishment — stacking, dishwasher cycles, and the occasional knock. The fully vitrified porcelain body on these dishes gives the glaze good durability over time, and the rolled, strengthened edges help resist chipping at the rim, which is typically where whiteware deteriorates first in commercial use. They are cleared through the dishwasher cleanly and can go from freezer to oven without issue, which is useful where dishes are prepared in advance and finished to order.

• Chip-resistant rolled edges hold up well to daily stacking and handling
• Vitrified body maintains glaze appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles
• Suitable for oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use
• Consistent white finish suits most existing Whiteware services
• Supplied in a pack of six for straightforward stock management

These dishes are well suited to hotels, restaurants, pub kitchens, and canteens that serve soufflés, individual baked dishes, or portioned desserts as a regular part of the menu. They are a practical choice for operations that need reliable, replaceable tableware rather than a premium statement piece. For sites running very high covers or requiring a more robust alternative, heavier-duty options are available within the wider range.

If you are building out a full crockery service or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Churchill Stonecast Round Eared Dish in Barley White is a mid-sized serving dish intended for table service in commercial hospitality settings. The eared design — shallow projecting tabs on either side of the rim — gives servers a reliable grip point when placing or clearing at the table, a small but worthwhile detail during a busy service when speed and control both matter. The speckled, kiln-reactive glaze gives each piece a subtly individual character, lending itself to operators who want a rustic or artisan aesthetic on the table without losing consistency across covers.

Made from Churchill's super vitrified ceramic, the construction is denser and harder than standard earthenware, which means better chip resistance at the edges and ears — precisely the points that take the most punishment on a busy pass or through repeated commercial dishwash cycles. The warm, neutral Barley White finish works across most plating styles and menus without imposing a strong visual direction.

These dishes are well suited to a range of service applications, including sides and accompaniments, sharing and small plates formats, antipasti and mezze, and fried sides where a contained dish supports presentation. They are dishwasher safe and compatible with standard commercial warewashing equipment, which matters when covers are turning quickly and tableware needs to stay in rotation throughout service.

Sold in packs of six, they are practical for range testing or topping up existing stock. Operators running larger sittings should consider how many packs will realistically sustain a full session without running short mid-service.

If you are building out a Stonecast range or working out pack quantities to suit your cover volume, the team is glad to help you think it through.

These oval stoneware pie bowls from Olympia are a practical choice for kitchens that serve individual pies, pot roasts, or baked dishes directly to the table. Made from stoneware rather than standard earthenware, they offer a denser, more robust construction that holds up well to the rigours of a busy service — repeated oven cycling, handling by kitchen staff, and regular dishwasher use.

The oval format suits individual pie portions neatly, and the depth is sufficient to accommodate a pastry-topped filling without overflow. Moving from oven to table without a transfer dish keeps the food hotter for longer and reduces the number of steps in the service process, which matters when covers are high and turnaround is quick.

• Stoneware construction resists chipping better than standard earthenware
• Oven-to-table design reduces handling steps during service
• Suitable for repeated oven cycling in commercial use
• Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service cleaning
• Consistent sizing across the pack supports uniform plating

These bowls are well suited to gastropubs, carveries, café-restaurants, and similar operations where individual baked dishes are a regular menu fixture. They are not intended for induction or direct flame use. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings daily, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would better suit your stock rotation and breakage allowance.

If you are equipping a new operation or refreshing tableware across a number of covers, it is worth having a conversation about quantities and complementary pieces before ordering.

These oval eared dishes from Olympia's Whiteware range are a practical porcelain option for operations that need reliable, everyday crockery across a range of service styles. The eared design makes them easy to handle when hot, whether coming out of an oven or being carried through a busy service pass.

Built from fully vitrified porcelain, the dishes are well suited to the demands of commercial use. Vitrification reduces porosity, which means the glaze holds up better over time and the body is less prone to absorbing stains or odours through repeated washing cycles. The rolled edges add further resilience where chipping most commonly occurs — at the rim — which matters when dishes are being stacked, transported on trays, or loaded into commercial dishwashers at volume.

Operationally, these dishes offer a number of straightforward advantages:

• Stackable design supports efficient storage in tight back-of-house spaces
• Safe for oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer use
• Chip-resistant rolled edges reduce replacement frequency
• Consistent white finish suits a range of service styles and presentations
• Supplied in a pack of six, practical for stock management

There are no installation requirements. These dishes suit canteens, cafes, hotels, and casual dining restaurants where a dependable, cost-effective whiteware solution is needed at volume. For higher-turnover operations requiring larger batch quantities or heavier-duty crockery, it is worth considering whether alternative options in the range better fit the scale of service.

If you are building out a crockery specification or want to discuss quantities across a full table setting, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Pyrex oval glass casserole dish is a straightforward, practical piece of cookware designed for both oven cooking and microwave use. Made from glass, it allows you to monitor the contents during cooking without lifting the lid, and moves cleanly from preparation through to table service or holding without requiring a transfer to a separate serving dish.

In a commercial context, this dish is commonly used in smaller catering operations, café kitchens, and hospitality settings where portion-sized or batch-cooked dishes are prepared and presented directly to the customer. The 4.5-litre capacity is well suited to casseroles, gratins, pasta bakes, and similar oven-finished dishes where presentation matters as much as function.

Practical advantages for day-to-day use include:

• Compatible with conventional ovens and microwaves for flexible cooking methods
• Glass construction allows visual monitoring of cooking progress
• Oval format suits whole joints, whole fish, and batch casseroles
• Moves from oven to table without a separate serving dish
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

It is worth noting that glass cookware requires careful handling in busy kitchens — it is not suited to direct hob use, and thermal shock from sudden temperature changes should be avoided. For operations cooking at very high volume or where more robust cookware is needed daily, alternative materials may be worth considering.

This dish is best suited to smaller catering operations, B&Bs, care homes, and hospitality venues where oven-to-table presentation is valued. If you are unsure whether this is the right fit for your kitchen, we are happy to point you in the right direction.

This MasterClass lidded casserole is cast from aluminium and finished in a metallic blue exterior with a double-layer non-stick interior coating. At 5 litres, it sits in a practical mid-range capacity that suits batch cooking, braising, and sauce preparation across a variety of kitchen settings.

Cast aluminium conducts heat evenly across the base and sides, which helps reduce hot spots and supports more consistent results during longer cook times. Despite offering similar heat distribution characteristics to cast iron cookware, the aluminium construction keeps the overall weight down considerably — a practical consideration when kitchen staff are handling multiple vessels during a busy service.

The non-stick interior coating aids food release and simplifies cleaning between service periods, which matters when turnaround time is tight. The fitted lid helps retain moisture and heat during cooking and resting.

• Even heat distribution across base and sides reduces risk of scorching
• Lightweight construction compared to cast iron alternatives
• Non-stick lining speeds up cleaning and reduces food waste
• Fitted lid supports moisture retention during braising or resting
• Suitable for hob and oven use across a range of kitchen environments

This casserole is best suited to smaller operations — cafés, bistros, private dining kitchens, and prep areas where batch sizes align with the 5-litre capacity. It is not intended for high-volume production environments where larger, heavier-duty cookware would be more appropriate. For sites with greater throughput requirements, larger capacity options are available within the range.

If you are putting together cookware for a new kitchen or replacing existing stock and want to make sure the sizing works for your menu, the team is happy to talk it through.
