Taking the concept from a demand for softer shapes and a contemporary alternative to a traditional rim, Churchill’s New Product Development team have worked on a range which is sculptured, modern and versatile with meticulous attention to size, scale and in service use.
Churchill’s new GLIDE range is designed to help establishments create an individual and memorable identity or to complement existing tableware as accent or signature style dishes that add value to a menu. It also has pieces that enhance unique presentation on a buffet section or as accompaniments and side dishes on the tabletop. According to Churchill’s Head of New Product Development, Vanessa Carter, “When designing this collection we have looked at the market and how establishments are personalising the whole brand experience and wanted to offer something completely different from our other ranges. We also wanted pieces which could add value to existing menus by offering different sizes and shapes which are versatile and can be used as menu add-ons or special dishes. Glide offers a contemporary style, which retains all of the technical and practical elements of our tableware, so is as desirable back of house as it is on the table”.
Churchill China’s new GLIDE range has a wide variety of items from which chefs can choose:
Square dinner plates – statement style with a completely flat centre for food display and a soft curved frame to create a signature style;
Slanted bowls – deeper at the back with a low presentation profile at the front this piece is perfect for salads or as part of a buffet presentation;
Square bowls in 4 different sizes;
Oval dishes in 2 sizes

All can be combined and used across a variety of dishes.
