£19.21(£23.05 inc VAT)
200ml | 7oz. Pack quantity: 12. Functional polycarbonate tumblers in a classic panelled design.
£40.03(£48.04 inc VAT)
165ml/5.8oz. Pack quantity: 6 Serve champagne in style with these glasses from Lucent's Level reusable plastic range. Made using the highest quality polycarbonate, the glasses boast the look of traditional glassware while being ultra clear, safe and virtually unbreakable. Their dramatic shape and contemporary aesthetic add a touch of sophistication to your table settings.
£51.14(£61.37 inc VAT)
The Utopia Lucent Cheltenham tumblers are 210ml polycarbonate drinkware designed to replicate the look of glass while removing the breakage risk that comes with it. The Cheltenham profile — characterised by its ribbed, decorative body and weighted base — gives these tumblers a more considered appearance than standard stack tumblers, making them a practical choice for venues that want presentable drinkware without the fragility or replacement cost of real glass.
Polycarbonate is the material of choice in environments where glass poses a risk or is simply impractical — poolside bars, outdoor terraces, festival catering, sports venues, and high-volume function spaces. These tumblers hold up well under repeated service cycles and are designed to resist cracking and shattering under the kind of daily handling that would quickly damage lesser plasticware. The 210ml capacity is well suited to short serves: spirits, soft drink pours, or juice.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Glasswasher safe — can run through standard commercial glasswashers alongside regular glassware
- Polycarbonate construction significantly reduces breakage losses and associated replacement spend
- Lightweight enough for quick tray service and high-turnover bar environments
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor service without compromise on appearance
- Supplied in a pack of six, practical for topping up existing stock
These tumblers require no special storage or handling considerations beyond standard drinkware. They are not suitable for use with very high-temperature liquids, and like all polycarbonate products, they should be kept away from abrasive cleaning agents that can cloud the surface over time.
Well suited to bars, event caterers, leisure and hospitality venues, and any operation running an outdoor service area. For venues needing larger capacities or different profiles, alternatives are available across the range.
If you're unsure which size or style best fits your service format, the team is happy to talk it through.
£7.48(£8.98 inc VAT)
The Pujadas Moscow Mule Mug Black adds classic cocktail presentation to bars, restaurants, and home entertaining. Its sturdy construction helps keep drinks colder for longer while the handle offers a secure, comfortable grip.
- 9 cm diameter, 10 cm height.
- 0.5 L capacity.
- Durable stainless steel construction resists rust and ensures longevity.
- Elegant, hammered texture adds a modern touch to your presentation.
- Keeps drinks colder for longer.
£92.36(£110.83 inc VAT)
The Steelite Capella Stack short double rocks glass is a 414ml polycarbonate tumbler designed for busy beverage service where breakage and replacement costs are a genuine operational concern. Made from high-quality polycarbonate, it presents the clarity of glassware without the fragility, making it a practical choice wherever a standard glass would be at risk.
In service, polycarbonate performs well where volume is high and handling is frequent — bar counters, outdoor terraces, events, and poolside operations being typical settings. The material is resistant to shattering under the kind of drops and knocks that would write off conventional glassware, which helps keep replacement costs manageable over time.
From an operational standpoint, the stackable design is one of the more useful practical features:
- Stacking reduces storage footprint behind the bar and in glassware stores
- Polycarbonate construction eliminates breakage risk during stacking and transport
- Consistent shape supports efficient rack washing and organised service
- Clear finish maintains a presentable appearance comparable to glass
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor service without changing glassware sets
It is worth noting that polycarbonate can cloud or scratch over time if washed with abrasive cloths or at excessively high dishwasher temperatures. Following the manufacturer's care guidance will extend the service life considerably. These glasses are supplied in a box of 12, which suits ordering in multiples to match your service covers.
This glass is well suited to bars, hospitality venues, outdoor event operators, and any site where glassware losses are a recurring cost. If you are unsure how many to order for your cover count, or whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your operation, we are happy to help you think it through.
£74.79(£89.75 inc VAT)
The Churchill Alchemy milk jug is a compact, individual-service jug designed for table use in cafés, restaurants, hotels, and any operation serving hot drinks. Made from vitrified fine china, each jug holds 138ml — a practical size for single-portion milk or cream service alongside tea and coffee covers.
Vitrified fine china is a sensible choice for front-of-house beverage service. The vitrification process densifies the body of the piece, making it more resistant to chipping and crazing than standard earthenware, and better suited to the repeated handling, stacking, and commercial dishwasher cycles that come with daily service. The Alchemy White glaze gives a clean, bright finish that holds up well over time without dulling significantly with repeated washing.
From an operational standpoint, these jugs offer a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Compact footprint stacks and stores efficiently in high-volume crockery systems
- Consistent white glaze presents well across mixed table settings
- Vitrified body withstands commercial dishwasher temperatures reliably
- Individual portion size supports consistent milk service and reduces waste
- Supplied in sixes, making it straightforward to order to cover count
These jugs require no special storage or handling beyond standard crockery care. They are suitable for use in commercial dishwashers, though as with all fine china, avoiding stacking excessive weight on top of stored pieces will extend their service life. The pack of six is a sensible unit for operators managing crockery by cover count.
This jug is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurants, and contract catering environments where a clean, dependable milk jug is needed at table. For operations running very high covers or particularly demanding back-of-house handling, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge alternative within the Churchill range might offer greater longevity.
If you are building out a full crockery specification or want to confirm compatibility with an existing Alchemy table setting, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£83.43(£100.12 inc VAT)
These black polycarbonate rocks tumblers from BBP are a straightforward, practical choice for operations that need durable, reusable drinkware without the breakage risk associated with glass. Each tumbler holds 256ml, making them well proportioned for short serves, soft drinks, cocktails, or juice portions in a casual or informal setting.
Polycarbonate is the standard material choice for high-turnover service environments precisely because it withstands the knocks and drops that glass cannot. These tumblers are designed to hold up in busy service periods — behind a bar, in a beer garden, at an outdoor event, or in any venue where glassware loss or breakage is a concern. The stackable design helps with storage and keeps the back bar or service station tidy between covers.
- Shatterproof polycarbonate construction reduces breakage losses
- Stackable profile saves storage space on the bar or in the wash area
- Black finish suits informal dining, bars, and casual outdoor settings
- Pack of 36 provides a practical quantity for a small to medium operation
- Dishwasher compatible for straightforward turnaround between service periods
It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware does show wear over time, particularly with repeated commercial dishwashing cycles — clouding or surface scratching is normal with extended use, and periodic replacement should be factored into budgeting. These tumblers are not designed for carbonated drinks under pressure and are best suited to still or blended beverages.
For smaller venues or pop-up operations, a pack of 36 is a sensible starting quantity. Higher-volume sites running continuous service across multiple stations may want to consider a larger pack quantity or a heavier-gauge alternative.
If you are unsure how many packs suit your service volume, or want to discuss drinkware options across your operation, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£438.00(£525.60 inc VAT)
The IDM G30-FS is a freestanding, three-cylinder bulk coffee bean dispenser designed for retail and self-serve environments where freshness, hygiene, and presentation all matter. Each cylinder holds 4.5 litres of product and operates on a first-in, first-out flow, so older stock is always dispensed before newer stock — a straightforward way to reduce waste and keep beans at their best.
The unit uses IDM's 'Supremo' dispensing mechanism, which is well suited to coffee beans but handles other dry goods including seeds, grains, and legumes reliably. The pull-and-serve knob returns to a sealed position after each use, limiting air exposure between servings and helping maintain product freshness over time. The clear SAN containers let customers and staff see stock levels at a glance, which simplifies replenishment and avoids running out mid-service.
From an operational standpoint, the design offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- FIFO dispensing reduces the risk of stale stock sitting at the bottom of a container
- Self-sealing knob mechanism limits air ingress between uses
- No mounting required — cylinders slide onto the stand for straightforward cleaning and refilling
- Clear containers support easy stock monitoring without opening the unit
- BPA-free construction and compliance with EU food contact regulations
The G30-FS is freestanding with a gold-finish stand and aluminium drip tray, requiring no wall fixings or specialist installation. It suits coffee shops, zero-waste stores, delicatessens, and farm shops where customers self-serve loose goods. For higher-volume retail environments or sites needing a greater number of cylinders, it is worth considering whether a larger configuration would better match throughput demands.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your product range or service volumes, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
£88.39(£106.07 inc VAT)
The Utopia Lucent Goodwood hiball is a polycarbonate drinking glass designed to replicate the look of conventional glassware while eliminating the breakage risk that comes with it. Each glass holds 380ml and is part of Utopia's Lucent range, which is produced from high-quality polycarbonate to give a clearer, glass-like appearance compared to standard opaque plastic drinkware.
In busy service environments, the practical value of polycarbonate quickly becomes clear. Glasses survive drops onto hard floors, get stacked and handled roughly during turnaround, and generally cope with the pace of high-volume service without the ongoing cost and hazard of breakages. For outdoor terraces, poolside bars, festivals, and events where glass is prohibited or impractical, polycarbonate is the standard choice. These are equally well suited to indoor pub and hotel bar use where operators want to reduce breakage losses without moving to disposables.
- Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and glass-in-product incidents
- Clear polycarbonate finish presents more like glassware than standard plastic
- Suited to licensed premises, outdoor events, poolside, and high-risk service areas
- Dishwasher compatible for efficient turnaround during service
- Lightweight handling reduces fatigue for staff during high-volume service
It is worth noting that polycarbonate will cloud and scratch over time with repeated dishwasher cycles, particularly if abrasive detergents are used. Most operators treat these as a consumable and replace glasses periodically rather than expecting indefinite lifespan. Buying in packs of six makes topping up stock straightforward.
These glasses are a practical fit for bars, pubs, hotels, outdoor hospitality, and event caterers. If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your menu or whether a different glass profile would work better across your drink range, we are happy to talk it through.
£27.00(£32.40 inc VAT)
3 cup | 350ml | 12 1/3oz Stainless steel cafetiere finished in mirror 18/10 stainless steel.
£49.16(£58.99 inc VAT)
118ml / 4oz The soft, light tone of this jug makes it ideal for many different sauces, whether it be a light crème anglais for pouring on a dessert or a dark, rich jus for complementing a roast dinner. As the jug's colour takes inspiration from the changing seasons and the finish is hand painted, this jug can bring its own character and charm to the table setting.
£123.00(£147.60 inc VAT)
The APS Element Concrete Drinks Dispenser is a 7-litre self-service vessel finished in a matte concrete material, designed for front-of-house cold beverage service at buffet counters, breakfast stations, and private dining setups. It sits within the wider APS Element range, which applies industrial-style materials to serveware intended for contemporary hospitality environments.
At 7 litres, this dispenser suits moderate service volumes rather than continuous high-footfall demand. It works well for a compact breakfast buffet, a drinks station in a private dining room, or a self-service water or juice point in a smaller restaurant setting. Operators running a busy hotel buffet serving several hundred covers should consider whether a larger-capacity unit would better match their throughput before committing to this format.
The concrete construction provides a degree of natural thermal mass, which can help keep cold beverages cooler during service — though this is not a substitute for active refrigeration, and for prolonged service periods, replenishment should be planned accordingly. The material also gives the unit a stable, weighted presence on a counter, which is an advantage in self-service environments where guests are handling the dispenser repeatedly.
- Matte concrete finish suited to industrial and natural-texture interior schemes
- Self-service format reduces staff involvement at the drinks point
- Weighted base provides stable counter placement during repeated use
- Suited to water, cold juice, or ambient cold beverage service
- Part of the coordinated APS Element range for consistent front-of-house presentation
At 7.05kg empty, placement deserves some thought — particularly on portable service carts or raised counters with load limits. It is not suited to stacking or overhead storage when in service. Cleaning and refilling will require a stable, accessible position at counter height.
This dispenser is a practical choice for venues where presentation is part of the service experience and cold beverage volumes are modest. If you are planning a larger station or need multiple units across a venue, it is worth a conversation with the team to make sure the format and capacity suit your specific service flow.
£7.54(£9.05 inc VAT)
CE Marked Colourful and depicted in a quintessentially Polynesian style, this fun and handcrafted ceramic Tiki mug is perfect for a whole range of cocktails and drinks.
£32.76(£39.31 inc VAT)
Capacity to Brim: 450ml | 17 3/4oz. Pack Quantity: 6 Get creative when serving cocktails using these stunning 450ml Utopia Tahiti Tiki smoke hiball glasses. Boasting a truly unique design and a distinctive smoke colourway, these glasses exude style and mystery, creating more interesting and exciting ambience in your premises to wow your guests and keep them coming back for more. As functional as they are fashionable, these hiballs are also dishwasher-safe, enabling rapid cleaning to save you valuable time for other kitchen duties.
£13.26(£15.91 inc VAT)
70ml / 2.5oz Complete your cheerful and colourful Olympia Café collection with these vibrantly blue milk jugs. Designed for extensive commercial use and suitable for microwave and dishwasher use these brightly coloured jugs do not have handles and feature modest spouts for a perfect, space saving pour. The 70ml contents is perfect for two to three cups of tea or coffee.
£28.19(£33.83 inc VAT)
305ml | 10 3/4oz. Pack Quantity: 6 This 10.75oz cream or milk jug (with handle) from Olympia is designed to provide a great value and hardwearing pure white porcelain crockery solution for busy hotels, canteens, casual dining restaurants and cafes. Strengthened rolled edges ensure the jug is chip resistant and a fully vitrified body gives great glaze durability, making it ideal to withstand the rigours of the professional catering environment. The jug is oven, microwave, dishwasher and freezer proof.
£46.68(£56.02 inc VAT)
8 cup | 1200ml | 42 1/4oz High quality satin finish stainless steel cafetieres which make coffee quickly and easily.
£111.00(£133.20 inc VAT)
The Utopia Titan milk jug is a straightforward porcelain jug designed for everyday commercial table service. At 140ml it holds a practical amount of milk or cream for individual covers, making it a sensible choice for breakfast service, afternoon tea, or coffee service where guests pour at the table.
Porcelain is a proven material for commercial tableware. It handles the repeated thermal cycling of dishwasher use without the warping or discolouration that can appear in lower-grade ceramics over time. The Titan range is built with chip resistance in mind, which matters in a busy service environment where jugs are handled quickly and stacked without ceremony. Microwave compatibility is a useful practical advantage for sites that warm milk to order rather than using a steamer.
- Chip and scratch resistant porcelain for extended service life in busy kitchens
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround between sittings
- Microwave safe for warming milk at the pass or counter
- Clean white glaze suits most table settings and is easy to keep presentable
- Supplied in a pack of 24, providing useful opening stock for most operations
For front-of-house teams, the consistent white finish makes the range easy to mix across covers and simple to replace individual pieces without visible mismatching. A 140ml jug is well matched to single-cover coffee or tea service. Larger-format jugs are available within the Titan range for sharing service or higher pour volumes per cover.
If you'd like help working out quantities for your cover count or have questions about the Titan range, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£56.99(£68.39 inc VAT)
These are replacement lids for the Churchill Alchemy Ambience 426ml teapot, sold in a pack of six. Made from the same porcelain as the teapot body, they are designed to sit flush and retain heat during table service. The Ambience range sits within Churchill's finer china offering, so the lids carry the same durable glaze finish as the pots themselves — consistent in appearance and practical for front-of-house use.
In a busy café, hotel breakfast service, or restaurant setting, teapot lids take more handling than almost any other piece of tableware. Having a supply of replacements to hand avoids gaps in service when breakages occur, which is a routine consideration in high-turnover environments. Porcelain holds up well in commercial dishwashers, and the glazed surface resists staining and is straightforward to clean.
A few points worth bearing in mind: these lids are matched specifically to the 426ml Ambience teapot and are not interchangeable with other Churchill teapot sizes or ranges. If you operate a mixed range of teapot capacities, it is worth confirming which size applies before ordering. The pack-of-six format suits operations that want to keep a working stock of spares without over-ordering.
If you are unsure whether these are the right fit for your current teapots, or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, we are happy to help you work that out.
£15.49(£18.59 inc VAT)
1.83Ltr | 62oz Simple range of hot beverage service items in highly polished stainless steel. Pots feature heat resistant handles.
£66.54(£79.85 inc VAT)
The Churchill Bit on the Side large jug is a porcelain serving jug designed for table service in restaurants, cafés, and event catering. At 340ml capacity, it sits comfortably between a small creamer and a full sauce boat, making it versatile enough to serve milk alongside hot drinks, dressings at the table, or sauces as part of a plated dish. The range is Churchill's answer to the growing demand for serving accompaniments separately, presenting side elements as part of the dining experience rather than an afterthought.
In practical service terms, the 340ml capacity is sufficient for sharing purposes at a table of two to four covers, reducing the need for mid-service refills during a sitting. Porcelain is the material of choice for most front-of-house service pieces in commercial settings — it handles repeated dishwasher cycles reliably, resists staining from dressings and sauces better than many alternatives, and presents well under restaurant lighting. The clean white finish is neutral enough to work across a wide range of table settings and cuisines.
- Suitable for milk, cream, dressings, sauces, and similar accompaniments
- Porcelain construction holds up well under regular commercial dishwashing
- White glaze is stain-resistant and versatile across different table styles
- Sold in a pack of four, practical for setting up consistent covers
- Part of a coordinated range, allowing matching across other serving pieces
These jugs are well suited to restaurants, event caterers, and hotel dining operations where presentation of accompaniments matters. They are a practical choice for cafés serving table milk rather than individual UHT portions. For very high-turnover operations requiring larger volumes per table, a larger server within the range may be worth considering.
If you're building out a full table service specification or need advice on quantities for a particular cover count, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£6.11(£7.33 inc VAT)
410ml | 14oz Simple range of hot beverage service items in highly polished stainless steel. Pots feature heat resistant handles.
£13.26(£15.91 inc VAT)
70ml/2.36oz. Pack quantity: 6 Create a stylish statement at the table with the black and white milk jug from Olympia. The 70ml jug may be small but the design creates an impact that is sleek and modern. With no handle to interrupt the symmetry, this milk jug combines contemporary styling with a minimalist design. A super fine pouring spout customers to pour the exact amount of milk or cream that they want. Supplied in a pack of six, the milk jug is made of stoneware and is microwave and dishwasher safe for versatile use.
£72.50(£87.00 inc VAT)
The Steelite DaVinci ice bucket is a polycarbonate beverage vessel designed for front-of-house use in bars, restaurants, and event catering. Holding 2.3 litres, it is well sized for presenting bottled wine, champagne, or other chilled beverages at the table without requiring constant replenishment during service.
Polycarbonate construction means the bucket is considerably more robust than glass equivalents, making it a practical choice wherever breakage is a concern — outdoor terraces, festival bars, poolside service, or high-turnover casual dining environments. The material is shatter-resistant and retains its clarity through repeated use and commercial washing cycles, provided standard care guidance is followed.
Key practical advantages for service operations include:
- Shatter-resistant polycarbonate — reduces breakage costs in busy or outdoor settings
- Retains clarity over extended use, maintaining a presentable appearance at the table
- Lightweight construction, easy to handle during a busy service shift
- Suitable for both indoor dining and outdoor or event use
- Commercially washable, supporting quick turnaround between covers
As with all polycarbonate drinkware, it is worth noting that abrasive cleaning agents and very high dishwasher temperatures can affect long-term clarity. Using appropriate commercial detergents and following the manufacturer's care instructions will help extend the product life.
This ice bucket is well suited to bars, bistros, casual dining operations, and event catering teams. It is sold in a box of three, which suits operators looking to establish a consistent house presentation across tables. For venues running larger format service — magnums, multi-bottle presentations, or high-volume banqueting — a larger capacity option may be worth considering.
If you are building out your front-of-house beverage range and want to discuss what works well across different service styles, the team is happy to help.
£34.45(£41.34 inc VAT)
270ml/9oz. Pack quantity: 12 Utopia's Diamond wine glasses are ideal for outdoor catering and events boasting the look of stunning glassware with all the practicality of polycarbonate. The glasses are resistant to stains, breaks and chips, making them well-suited to busy environments where they will endure heavy use. They are also glasswasher safe, allowing for quick and easy clean up after every use, saving you time during service.
£13.41(£16.09 inc VAT)
360ml / 12oz Polycarbonate hiball in clear or coloured plastic.
£64.85(£77.82 inc VAT)
The Utopia President pint glass is a polycarbonate alternative to traditional glassware, shaped and proportioned to look like a conventional pint glass but made entirely from a robust plastic that will not shatter, chip, or crack under normal commercial use. Each glass holds 570ml and carries the CA (Capacity Approval) stamp, confirming it meets UK legal requirements for serving draught beer and cider by measure. They are sold in packs of 24.
In busy bar environments, broken glassware creates both a safety hazard and a service interruption. Polycarbonate glasses remove that problem almost entirely. They are well suited to high-volume periods where staff are moving quickly, and particularly practical wherever conventional glass is prohibited or inadvisable — outdoor festivals, beer gardens, sports venues, and poolside bars being the most common settings. The clarity of polycarbonate keeps the presentation closer to glass than opaque plastic alternatives, which matters in venues where appearance is important to the customer experience.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and injury risk
- CA stamped to satisfy licensing and weights and measures requirements
- Glasswasher safe, supporting a fast turnaround during service
- Stain and chip resistant, helping maintain a tidy appearance over time
- Lightweight compared to glass, reducing fatigue for staff carrying multiple units
There are no installation or electrical requirements. Storage consideration is straightforward — the glasses stack, so a pack of 24 takes up modest shelf or rack space. It is worth noting that polycarbonate can scratch over time with repeated commercial glasswashing; most operators replace batches periodically rather than using these as permanent long-term glassware. For sites serving at very high volume, it may be worth considering a larger pack quantity rather than a different product type.
These glasses are best suited to licensed premises with outdoor service areas, event caterers, sports facilities, and any venue where a glassware ban or risk assessment makes conventional glass unsuitable. If you are unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your specific setting or licensing situation, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£109.00(£130.80 inc VAT)
These Utopia American hi ball glasses are made from polycarbonate rather than conventional glass. To the customer they look and feel much like a standard hi ball, but the material itself is shatter-resistant, which makes them a practical choice anywhere breakage is a genuine operational concern.
Polycarbonate drinkware is commonly used in venues where glass is restricted or discouraged — poolside bars, outdoor terraces, festival and event catering, sports facilities, and high-volume casual dining operations. The classic hi ball shape suits a wide range of long drinks and soft serve, so these glasses tend to see broad use across a menu rather than being limited to one application.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages over glass are straightforward:
- Resistant to breakage, chipping, and cracking under normal service conditions
- Glasswasher safe, so they integrate into existing warewashing routines
- Resistant to staining from common beverages
- Lighter to handle and carry in quantity compared with glass equivalents
- Supplied in a pack of 36, suited to stocking a bar or topping up an existing set
One consideration worth noting: polycarbonate will show wear over time if subjected to abrasive cleaning products or scourers. Using standard glasswasher chemicals and avoiding harsh manual scrubbing will extend their service life. They are not intended as a permanent like-for-like replacement for fine glassware in settings where presentation is a priority.
These glasses are well suited to casual dining, outdoor and event venues, pubs with beer gardens, and any site operating under a no-glass policy. For venues needing a larger initial stock or different capacities, other pack sizes and formats are available across the range.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right fit for your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
£12.40(£14.88 inc VAT)
1.4Ltr | 47oz. Compatible with Lids CH926 and CH927 Jug with practical locking/pouring reverse lid design.
£63.75(£76.50 inc VAT)
The Utopia President half pint glass is a polycarbonate tumbler designed to replicate the look of traditional glassware while offering the practical durability that busy commercial venues require. Each glass holds 290ml and carries the CA (Capacity Approved) stamp, confirming it meets UK trading standards for licensed premises serving measured drinks.
In service, polycarbonate drinkware of this type earns its place in venues where broken glass is a genuine operational or safety concern — outdoor terraces, festival bars, poolside service, sports grounds, and high-turnover pub environments where glass collection is fast and handling is heavy. The material is resistant to staining, chipping, and breakage under normal commercial use, which reduces replacement costs over time compared with conventional glassware.
- Break, chip, and stain resistant — suited to high-turnover or outdoor service
- CA stamped for use in licensed premises serving measured half pints
- Glasswasher safe for fast turnaround during busy service periods
- Retains a clear, glass-like appearance through repeated commercial use
- Supplied in a pack of 36, practical for stocking a bar or event operation
Worth noting: polycarbonate, while durable, can become scratched and cloud over time with heavy abrasive cleaning or prolonged use. Using appropriate glasswasher detergents and avoiding abrasive scourers will extend the service life. These are not suitable for hot drinks.
This glass is well suited to pub gardens, event catering, sports and leisure venues, and any licensed operation where the CA stamp is a requirement. For venues needing full pint capacity or alternative profiles, other formats are available within the President range.
If you are stocking a new venue or unsure how many packs your operation needs, our team is happy to talk through your requirements.
