Churchill Nova Chelsea Porcelain Plates 305mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Nova Chelsea plate is a 305mm (12") dinner plate produced in Churchill's vitreous porcelain body. The Chelsea pattern carries a soft, pastel floral spray in pale pinks and greens — understated enough to complement a range of table settings without competing with the food. The plates are sold in packs of twelve, which suits both initial purchases and building stock for covers service.

Porcelain with a vitreous body does not absorb moisture, which matters in a commercial kitchen context. Plates that absorb liquid over time can harbour bacteria and are harder to bring back to standard through normal dishwasher cycles. The non-porous surface resists staining and holds up well to the repeated high-temperature wash cycles that are routine in busy operations. Churchill back the glaze and chip resistance with a five-year edge chip warranty, which gives operators a reasonable indication of expected durability in daily service.

In practical terms, these plates are well suited to:

• Table service in restaurants, hotels, and function venues where a patterned plate adds a considered finish
• Carvery and banqueting service where consistent presentation across large covers is important
• Care homes and contract catering environments where hygiene standards and durability are priorities

At 305mm, this is a full dinner plate size appropriate for main course plating. It is worth confirming that your existing crockery storage, plate-warming equipment, and pass dimensions accommodate this size before ordering in volume. The pack weight of 14.45kg is worth factoring in if you are ordering multiple packs for delivery to upper-floor sites.

These plates are a practical choice for operators who want a patterned finish without heavy decoration. If you are building a full cover set or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers before you order.
