Product Description
The Churchill Buckingham Sumatra is a 215mm porcelain side or starter plate finished with a tropical floral print set against the Buckingham shape's characteristic embossed rim. It sits within Churchill's established Buckingham range, which is widely used across hotel restaurants, gastro pubs, and contract catering operations that want a consistent, pattern-led tablescape without commissioning bespoke china.
In a service environment, porcelain at this diameter performs reliably as a side plate, bread plate, or dessert plate depending on your menu format. The Buckingham shape's raised border provides a natural presentation boundary, and the glaze delivers a smooth surface that resists staining and cleans consistently through commercial dishwashing cycles. The Sumatra pattern is printed and fired into the glaze rather than applied as a surface transfer, which helps the decoration hold up under repeated high-temperature wash cycles.
- Porcelain construction tolerates the thermal demands of commercial dishwashers
- Printed tropical floral design with the Buckingham embossed border for defined presentation
- Smooth glaze surface supports clean plating and easy wiping down during service
- Sold in a pack of 24, practical for buffet lines, starter covers, or side plate sets
- Part of the broader Buckingham range, allowing pattern-matched mixing across plate sizes
A pack of 24 is a practical opening quantity for smaller operations or as supplementary stock for a larger cover count. Operators running high cover volumes or high breakage environments may want to consider ordering additional packs to maintain consistent presentation throughout service.
If you are building a full table setting across multiple Buckingham Sumatra pieces or want to confirm how this plate fits within a broader range order, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The Buckingham Sumatra is made from porcelain with a fired glaze, which is well suited to the high temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers. The printed pattern is integrated into the glaze rather than sitting on the surface, so it holds up better under repeated wash cycles than surface-applied transfers.
- That depends on your cover count, service style, and how quickly your wash cycle turns plates around. As a general guide, operators tend to hold at least one and a half times their peak cover count in any given plate size to account for plates in transit through the wash. For a 40-cover restaurant running lunch and dinner, two or three packs of 24 is a common starting point, with additional stock held as a breakage buffer.
- Yes. The Buckingham Sumatra pattern runs across multiple piece types within Churchill's Buckingham range, so the 215mm plate can be used alongside other sizes and shapes in the same pattern family. If you are building out a full table setting and want to confirm which pieces coordinate, we can advise on the range before you order.
