Plus, the combination of an ergonomic handle and thumb-operated lid make dispensing quick and easy. This gives your guests excellent control over pouring their drinks - helping to prevent spills and burns.
And it's stylish too. The unique, swirl design combines with the black colourway to give your services a modern and sophisticated upgrade.
£35.25(£42.30 inc VAT)
Thanks to the high-quality glass, these clear hi-balls are also fully dishwasher safe too - enabling a fast turnaround of fresh glassware.

Geel. Voor kannen CE278 en J904. Olympia Kristallon polycarbonate lids are colourful, virtually unbreakable and perfectly designed for regular uses in schools, hospitals, outdoor activity centres and other institutions where shatterproof crockery is essential.
£9.85(£11.82 inc VAT)
850ml | 30oz Simple range of hot beverage service items in highly polished stainless steel. Pots feature heat resistant handles.
£142.00(£170.40 inc VAT)
These double old fashioned glasses from glassFORever's Premium polycarbonate range are designed as a practical alternative to traditional glassware in environments where breakage is a genuine operational concern. Made from polycarbonate, they carry the embossed cut-glass aesthetic of a conventional tumbler while being virtually unbreakable under normal service conditions. The aqua tint gives them a distinctive look without compromising visibility of the drink.
In busy service environments — poolside bars, festival catering, outdoor terraces, or high-turnover venues — the ability to handle these glasses on large trays without the weight penalty of real glass makes a practical difference during peak service. The solid base adds stability on uneven surfaces, and the insulating properties of polycarbonate help drinks stay at temperature a little longer than glass equivalents, which is a useful characteristic for cold beverages in warm environments.
- Virtually unbreakable polycarbonate construction suitable for high-risk service areas
- Embossed cut-glass design maintains a presentable appearance at the table
- Lighter than glass, making tray service more manageable during busy periods
- Can be chilled before service for cold drink presentation
- Dishwasher safe for repeated commercial wash cycles, rated to over 2,000 cycles
These glasses are polycarbonate, not glass, so they will scratch over time with heavy use and abrasive cleaning. Operators should avoid steel wool or harsh scouring agents, and monitor stock condition periodically — scratched polycarbonate can cloud and affect presentation. They are 100% reusable and recyclable, which suits operators mindful of single-use plastics.
This pack is well suited to outdoor hospitality, events catering, poolside or leisure venues, and any setting where glass is prohibited or poses a safety risk. For very high-volume sites requiring a larger pack quantity or a different glass format, alternative options within the range are worth exploring.
If you're unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right fit for your service format, we're happy to talk it through.
£36.14(£43.37 inc VAT)
3Ltr | 105 1/2oz. Stainless Steel Double Wall Premium pump action airpot with stainless steel push button for added durability. Compact and highly durable with unbreakable stainless steel construction interior and exterior, safety lock and leakage protection spout. Features label etching. Suitable for hot or cold drinks. Drip Tray (GF992) sold separately.
£115.00(£138.00 inc VAT)
The Churchill Raku beverage pot is part of the Studio Prints range, a collection aimed at operators who want an artisan aesthetic on the table without the fragility that often comes with it. The Raku glaze is designed to evoke the character of hand-crafted studio pottery while being built to withstand the realities of commercial service. These pots are supplied in Topaz Blue, one of several colourways available across the Raku range, making coordination with matching Raku mugs and jugs straightforward.
Each pot holds 430ml, which suits an individual tea service or a small coffee presentation comfortably. The porcelain construction retains heat well, resists chipping more reliably than earthenware, and holds up consistently through regular commercial dishwasher cycles. At 545g, the pot feels solid and considered in the hand without placing unnecessary strain on front-of-house staff working through multiple covers.
- Coordinates with the wider Raku mug and jug range for a unified table setting
- Porcelain body suited to regular commercial dishwasher use
- Individual serving size appropriate for restaurant, café, and hotel breakfast service
- Artisan glaze character without the practical limitations of true hand-thrown ware
These pots are well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and similar operations looking to improve the presentation of their beverage service without compromising on practicality. The pack-of-four format works well for operators buying to a cover count or topping up breakages within an existing Raku collection.
If you are building out a full beverage ware range or want to talk through quantities and colourway matching, the team is happy to work through that with you before you place an order.
£43.50(£52.20 inc VAT)
CapellaStack Clear 147ml Serving delightful cocktails from indoors to outdoors is easy with CapellaStack from Strahl. These virtually unbreakable tumblers are made of high quality polycarbonate and are conveniently designed for stacking. From storage to clean up, beverage service is more practical and cost efficient for operators with the ability to stack and the reduced risk of scratching & breakage.
£169.00(£202.80 inc VAT)
The Steelite Spyro teapot is a 340ml ceramic teapot designed for professional table service, supplied here in a pack of six with small-sized lids. It forms part of Steelite's Spyro range, which pairs a contemporary silhouette with a subtle swirling embossed surface detail — a considered choice for operations where tableware presentation matters as much as durability.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these teapots are built to withstand the demands of daily commercial service. The material offers genuine resistance to thermal shock, which matters in environments where pots are filled quickly from boiling water and handled at pace. The robust glaze resists staining, helping maintain a clean, consistent appearance across a full set even after repeated washing.
In practical terms, the Spyro teapot suits operations where individual tea service is standard — whether that's a hotel breakfast, a restaurant lunch service, or a tearoom. Key points for day-to-day use:
- Thermal shock resistance supports rapid filling without risk of crazing
- Stain-resistant glaze retains appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles
- Embossed detailing adds visual character without compromising stackability
- Supplied in sixes, making stock management straightforward for most covers
- Lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite offers reassurance on longevity
There are no gas, electrical, or plumbing requirements. Storage space and rack compatibility with your existing dishwasher are the main practical considerations. The 340ml capacity is well suited to a single-cup individual service; operations serving larger pots or needing higher-capacity vessels should consider alternatives from the wider Steelite range.
If you're building out a tableware set and want guidance on which pieces from the Spyro range work together for your covers and service style, we're happy to help you put the right order together.
£136.00(£163.20 inc VAT)
The Dudson Evo Granite teapot is part of a range that draws its visual character from hand-thrown pottery. The textured, granite-effect finish gives each piece an informal, artisan quality that sits naturally on café tables, in bistro settings, or anywhere a relaxed and unpretentious table aesthetic is the aim. Supplied in packs of six, the buying unit suits most operators stocking or refreshing a beverage service without over-committing on quantity.
Made from vitrified stoneware, the body is denser and more resilient than standard earthenware, with better resistance to chipping and crazing under the repeated thermal cycling that comes with daily café or restaurant use. The 828ml capacity works well as a pot-for-two serve or a generous single portion, without being awkward to handle or difficult to store in a busy service environment.
- Vitrified stoneware resists chipping and crazing through regular daily service
- Granite-effect finish helps to conceal minor surface wear over time
- 828ml capacity is practical for pot-for-two or generous single serves
- Artisan aesthetic suits informal, café-style and bistro table settings
- Pack of six supports straightforward stock rotation and breakage cover
It is worth noting that stoneware carries more weight than porcelain alternatives — something to consider in high-turnover table service where staff are handling and clearing frequently. Before committing to a full range order, confirming compatibility with your existing dishwasher programme is a sensible step.
The Evo Granite range is well suited to independent cafés, casual dining restaurants, hotel lounges, and operations looking for a tactile, characterful alternative to standard white porcelain. If you are building out a full beverage range or matching to existing tableware, the team are happy to talk through whether this range fits what you have in mind.
£106.00(£127.20 inc VAT)
The Churchill Monochrome Profile Teapot in Cinnamon Brown is a two-tone vitrified china teapot from Churchill's Monochrome range. The cinnamon brown dipped finish sits over a white body, producing a clean contrast that works well in contemporary café and restaurant settings without drawing attention away from the food and drink being served.
Made from Churchill's super vitrified china, these teapots are well suited to the demands of daily front-of-house service. Super vitrified ware offers considerably better resistance to chipping and cracking than standard earthenware — a practical consideration in environments where crockery is handled quickly, stacked, and washed repeatedly throughout the day. The 430ml capacity is intended for individual service, giving roughly two cups per pot, which suits table service, café counter use, and hotel breakfast operations comfortably.
- Super vitrified construction handles the knocks of fast-paced service with less attrition
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround between covers
- Microwave safe, allowing a quick reheat during service if needed
- Two-tone finish suits contemporary table settings without overpowering them
- Sold in packs of four, giving a practical starting quantity for section stock
The pack of four is a reasonable entry point, but operators running a full section, a busy breakfast room, or high-volume all-day café service will typically need several packs to maintain a working rotation. The Monochrome Profile range extends to other colourways and formats, so if a different finish or a larger serving capacity would suit your table setting better, it is worth looking across the broader collection.
If you are putting together a crockery range or trying to match pieces across a service style, the team is happy to talk through quantities and combinations — it is often easier to get that right before ordering than to correct it afterwards.
£16.59(£19.91 inc VAT)
28,4cl. 12 stuks. Olympia Kristallon polycarbonate handled beakers are colourful, virtually unbreakable and perfectly designed for regular uses in schools, hospitals, outdoor activity centres and other institutions where shatterproof crockery is essential.
£13.26(£15.91 inc VAT)
70ml | 2.5oz. Pack Quantity: 6 The Charcoal milk jug from Olympia's café collection wears a colour that creates an almost industrial feel while the minimalist styling and modern shape create a contrasting appearance. By omitting a handle from the design your customer gains more control over the pouring and thanks to the super fine pouring tip means they can pour the exact amount they want, avoiding tea that is too milky.
£6.03(£7.24 inc VAT)
78ml | 2.7oz. Pack Quantity: 6 Looking for a stylish and practical jug for serving hot or cold milk? Then the Olympia milk jug is an excellent choice. Made from stainless steel, this jug is highly durable and can withstand repeated heating to high temperatures. This makes the jug ideal for preparing multiple coffees at once, without the risk of breaking, leaking or corroding - giving you a long-lasting coffee essential. The jug also features an ergonomic, non-drip spout that allows for fast and controlled pouring, reducing spills and making latte art easier.
£152.00(£182.40 inc VAT)
The Steelite Monaco White Vogue Teapot is a 412ml individual-serve teapot from Steelite's Monaco White range. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic — a fired clay body with a higher alumina content than standard vitrified china — which gives it a notably whiter, brighter finish alongside improved resistance to chipping and cracking under everyday service conditions.
In a busy café, hotel breakfast service, or restaurant environment, teapots take a considerable amount of handling — stacking, pouring, rinsing, and loading through commercial glasswashers on repeat. The alumina vitrified body is specifically formulated to hold up under that kind of sustained use. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects genuine confidence in the durability of the glaze and body construction rather than being a purely promotional claim.
From an operational standpoint, the Monaco White range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Bright white finish presents well across formal dining, hotel, and café settings without requiring a premium fine bone china budget
- Individual 412ml size suits single-serve tea service without excess stock or over-pouring
- Alumina vitrified construction is compatible with commercial dishwashers and glasswashers
- Sold in packs of six, which suits both initial stock purchases and topping up broken sets
- Lifetime edge chip warranty reduces long-term replacement cost compared to standard vitrified alternatives
There are no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard crockery care. These teapots are not oven-safe and are intended for table service use only. For high-volume banqueting or operations running very large covers, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would be more practical from a stock management perspective.
The Monaco White Vogue Teapot suits hotel breakfast and afternoon tea service, café counter use, and mid-to-upmarket restaurant settings where a clean, bright presentation is important without moving into specialist fine bone china. For operations where a more premium aesthetic or heavier-duty specification is needed, other ranges within the Steelite catalogue may be worth exploring.
If you are equipping a new site or standardising your tableware across a number of covers, we are happy to talk through what quantities and formats tend to work well in practice.
£73.90(£88.68 inc VAT)
The Utopia Lucent Ascot flutes are polycarbonate champagne flutes designed to replicate the appearance of glass while offering the practical resilience that busy hospitality environments demand. Each flute holds 260ml and is sold in a pack of six.
Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in venues where glass presents a safety or operational risk — poolside bars, outdoor events, festival sites, rooftop terraces, and high-volume service areas where breakages would cause disruption or liability. The material is significantly more impact-resistant than glass, and the clarity of the Lucent range means guests are unlikely to notice the difference during service.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are straightforward:
- Resistant to breakage, reducing replacement costs and service interruptions
- Lighter than glass, which helps with high-volume tray carrying
- Suitable for commercial dishwasher use, keeping throughput moving
- No risk of glass contamination in outdoor or poolside environments
- Consistent appearance across the pack supports a uniform table presentation
It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, will show fine scratching over time with repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. For venues running very high wash volumes, rotation across a larger stock holding will extend the presentable lifespan of each piece. These flutes are not intended as a permanent substitute for glassware in formal fine-dining settings where presentation standards are particularly exacting.
This pack of six suits smaller events or supplementary stock for specific service areas. Venues needing to outfit larger functions or permanent outdoor bars may want to consider ordering in greater quantities to ensure consistent availability through peak periods.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right fit for your service style or venue type, we are happy to talk it through.
£114.00(£136.80 inc VAT)
The Utopia Eden coupe glasses are 280ml polycarbonate stemware designed to replicate the look and feel of traditional glass coupettes without the breakage risk. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, they are well suited to venues where conventional glassware presents a practical or safety concern.
In a busy bar environment, broken glassware creates service interruptions, safety hazards, and product waste. Polycarbonate coupettes remove that risk without requiring a significant compromise on presentation. The Eden range is finished to a standard that reads as glassware to most guests, making them a workable option for cocktail and sparkling wine service rather than a visible downgrade.
Practical advantages for bar and front-of-house teams include:
- Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and service disruption
- Glasswasher safe, supporting fast turnaround during busy service periods
- Lightweight compared to glass, reducing fatigue during high-volume service
- Suitable for outdoor areas, poolside, or events where glass is prohibited
- Consistent 280ml capacity supports accurate cocktail and pour measurement
It is worth noting that polycarbonate can cloud or scratch over time if cleaned with abrasive products or at excessively high wash temperatures. Using the appropriate glasswasher chemistry and following the manufacturer's care guidance will extend the working life of the glasses considerably. These are not intended as a permanent substitute for glassware in all settings — venues with a premium glassware policy may prefer to reserve polycarbonate for specific areas or occasions.
This pack of twelve is a practical quantity for a secondary bar station, an outdoor terrace, or as poolside event stock. For venues needing to equip a full bar operation, larger quantities are available.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate stemware is the right fit for your operation or service style, we are happy to talk it through.
£24.61(£29.53 inc VAT)
With a 1-litre capacity, the jug is the perfect size for use in a variety of settings, from canteens and buffets to catering services. Its stainless steel construction ensures it can withstand heavy use, while an easy-pour spout allows the contents to flow out smoothly and neatly - reducing accidental spillages.
For ease of use, the Olympia vacuum insulated jug also has a push lever top. This means customers can easily serve themselves, whilst getting their desired amount of milk, coffee or tea.
£9.44(£11.33 inc VAT)
420ml | 14¾oz. Pack Quantity: 6 If you need break-resistant and stylish glasses for hospitality, Olympia Kristallon stacking tumblers are a perfect choice. Made from durable polycarbonate, they resist cracking, chipping, and scratching while withstanding temperatures from -40°C to +100°C. Their stackable design saves space and ensures easy access, and being dishwasher safe makes cleaning effortless.
£153.00(£183.60 inc VAT)
The Utopia Long Island is a clear glass teapot designed for table service in cafés, restaurants, hotels, and similar hospitality settings. Each pot holds one litre, which comfortably serves two to three covers depending on how the tea service is structured. The pack of six reflects how these are typically purchased — as a section stock rather than individually.
The glass construction is borosilicate, which handles thermal variation more reliably than standard glass. In a working service environment, where pots move quickly between hot water and table, that resilience matters. The clear body also has a practical advantage beyond aesthetics: guests can see the brew developing without lifting the lid, which is particularly useful with fruit infusions and herbal teas where colour signals strength and over-steeping is a common source of complaints.
- Clear body allows guests to monitor brew colour and progress
- Borosilicate glass handles thermal variation better than standard glass
- One-litre capacity suits two to three covers per pot
- Clean profile works across contemporary and traditional table settings
- Pack of six provides a practical quantity for equipping or restocking a section
Glass teapots do require consistent, considered handling on the floor — they should not be set directly onto cold surfaces straight from hot water, and staff should be briefed accordingly. Cleaning is straightforward, and the transparent body makes it easy to confirm cleanliness before service goes out.
The Long Island suits operations where the tea offering carries some weight — specialty tea menus, afternoon tea service, or venues where presentation at the table is part of the experience. For very high-turnover environments where pots are cycled rapidly through multiple sittings, a ceramic alternative may offer greater day-to-day resilience.
If you're putting together a tea service or working out quantities for your covers, we're happy to talk it through.
£41.51(£49.81 inc VAT)
2-pint. Pack quantity: 6 These Utopia's Diamond 2-pint jugs are ideal for outdoor catering and events boasting the look of stunning glassware with all the practicality of polycarbonate. The jugs are resistant to stains, breaks and chips, making them well-suited to busy commercial environments where they will endure heavy use. They are also CA stamped and glasswasher safe, allowing for quick and easy clean up after every use.
£11.59(£13.91 inc VAT)

1.5Ltr | 52 3/4oz Insulated vacuum jugs with brushed stainless steel body and insulated interior. Screwtop lid for added convenience.
£58.70(£70.44 inc VAT)
These Utopia Lucent Vintage Martini glasses are polycarbonate drinkware designed to closely replicate the appearance of traditional glass stemware. The material is ultra-clear, giving drinks and garnishes the visual presentation expected of a well-served cocktail, while the polycarbonate construction makes the glasses highly resistant to breakage during busy service periods.
In practice, polycarbonate martini glasses of this type are commonly used in environments where glassware breakage is a genuine operational risk — poolside bars, outdoor venues, festival and event catering, and high-volume late-night operations. They hold up well to repeated commercial use and can typically go through a commercial glasswasher without clouding or warping, provided manufacturer care guidelines are followed.
The practical advantages of this format over conventional glassware include:
- Near-unbreakable construction reduces replacement costs and waste
- Safe for use in environments where glass is prohibited or restricted
- Retains the classic martini silhouette for cocktail presentation
- Lightweight handling reduces fatigue during high-volume service
- Suitable for glasswasher use in most commercial operations
There are no installation requirements. These glasses are ready for immediate use and require no special storage beyond standard barware racking. The classic vintage styling suits cocktail menus where presentation matters, though operators who need a more contemporary profile may find alternative silhouettes in the wider Utopia Lucent range more appropriate.
This pack of six is a practical starting point for smaller operations or to supplement an existing stock. Higher-volume venues running continuous cocktail service may want to consider larger quantity orders to ensure adequate cover through service without interruption to the wash cycle.
If you are unsure how many covers this quantity will support or whether this style suits your service format, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
£86.40(£103.68 inc VAT)
The Churchill Whiteware Nova teapot is a straightforward, well-made piece of commercial porcelain designed for everyday table service. Plain white, quietly proportioned, and free of decorative flourishes, it sits comfortably across a wide range of hospitality settings without drawing attention to itself — which is usually exactly what a teapot should do.
Churchill's Nova range is produced specifically for the catering industry rather than adapted from domestic ware. The porcelain is fired at high temperature over an extended process to produce a harder, denser body that resists the knocks, thermal cycling, and repeated machine washing that commercial service demands. In practice, this means fewer replacements and a more consistent appearance across a busy crockery bank over time.
For operators, the practical advantages of this range include:
- Vitrified porcelain construction resists chipping and crazing under regular commercial use
- Classic white finish works across most table settings and branding schemes
- Suitable for commercial dishwashers without surface degradation over time
- Consistent glaze finish makes matching replacement pieces straightforward
- Supplied in a pack of four, suited to restocking and initial setup alike
These teapots are sold in packs of four, which works well for operators buying in quantity to stock a new outlet or topping up an existing crockery set. There is no complex installation or commissioning — they arrive ready for service.
The Nova range suits cafés, hotels, restaurants, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, unbranded white porcelain at a practical price point. For higher-volume operations requiring larger pot sizes or alternative pack configurations, other options within the Churchill range may be worth considering.
If you are building out a full table service specification or matching to existing Nova pieces, our team is happy to help confirm the right quantities and formats before you order.
£71.91(£86.29 inc VAT)
The Utopia Lucent Newbury range offers a polycarbonate wine glass with an angular bowl profile and a 450ml capacity, designed to replicate the appearance of conventional glassware while eliminating the breakage risks that come with it. Made from high-quality polycarbonate, each glass is resistant to chipping and shattering — a practical distinction in environments where glass management is a genuine operational concern.
In busy service conditions, polycarbonate glassware of this type holds up well on trays, at outdoor bars, and in high-turnover venues where replacement costs for broken glass add up quickly. The Newbury's angular bowl gives it a more considered appearance than standard tumbler-style plastic drinkware, making it a reasonable choice where presentation still matters alongside durability.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Chip and shatter resistance reduces wastage and replacement costs
- Suitable for outdoor use, poolside service, and festival or event settings
- Reusable construction supports reduced single-use plastic reliance
- Compatible with commercial glasswashers in most configurations
- Angular profile maintains a more formal presentation than standard plastic alternatives
Polycarbonate glassware does carry some considerations worth noting. It will discolour over time with heavy use and repeated washing, and it does not replicate the weight or feel of real glass — guests will notice the difference on handling. It is best suited to environments where safety or licensing requirements limit or prohibit the use of glassware, rather than as a direct like-for-like substitute in fine dining settings.
These glasses are well suited to outdoor hospitality venues, events catering, bars with late-night licences, and anywhere that glass-free policies are in place. They are sold in packs of six, which suits venue operators building up stock incrementally or trialling the format before a larger order.
If you are working out quantities for a specific venue or event format, our team is happy to help you think through what you need.
£190.00(£228.00 inc VAT)
The Churchill Alchemy Abstract teapot is part of Churchill's established Alchemy portfolio — a range of fine china tableware developed specifically for the demands of commercial hospitality. This 15oz teapot is supplied in a pack of six, making it a practical choice when equipping or restocking a service for table-side tea cover.
The fine china body is reinforced with added alumina, which improves structural strength and contributes to the brightness of the white glaze. In practical terms, this means the teapots hold up better under the repeated handling, commercial dishwashing cycles, and stacking that come with busy service periods. The clean, consistent white finish supports presentation standards without the need to carefully colour-match against other tableware in use.
The geometric embossment that defines the Alchemy Abstract design adds visual texture without complicating cleaning or compromising how the pieces stack. For operations already running other Alchemy lines — including the broader White collection — the Abstract teapots sit comfortably alongside them, helping maintain a coherent table aesthetic across mixed tableware purchases.
- Fine china construction with added alumina for improved durability in commercial use
- Bright white glaze that holds its appearance through regular commercial dishwashing
- Geometric embossed detailing that does not compromise stackability or cleaning
- Pack of six supports service setup, stock rotation, and breakage cover
- Coordinates with other Alchemy range pieces for a consistent table presentation
If you are specifying tableware across a broader beverage or dining setup and want to confirm the Alchemy Abstract range suits your service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£115.00(£138.00 inc VAT)
The glassFORever 170ml flute is a polycarbonate champagne and prosecco glass designed for commercial and event use where traditional glassware carries an unacceptable safety risk. Made from a specially formulated recyclable polycarbonate, it is fully shatterproof and produces none of the dangerous shards associated with broken glass — a meaningful operational consideration for outdoor venues, poolside service, festivals, and high-footfall bar environments.
In practice, polycarbonate drinkware of this quality sits noticeably closer to glass in appearance and feel than standard plastic alternatives. The clarity is good enough that guests are unlikely to notice the difference in a fast-paced service environment, which matters if you are serving premium sparkling wine or champagne and want to maintain the experience without compromising safety.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:
- Shatterproof construction removes the risk of glass-related injuries in busy or outdoor service areas
- Dishwasher safe for over 2,000 cycles, making long-term reuse practical and cost-effective
- 100% recyclable material supports responsible disposal at end of service life
- Supplied in packs of 30, well suited to event planning and stock management by cover count
- Consistent sizing allows straightforward stacking and storage between service periods
There are a few practical points worth considering. Polycarbonate will scratch over time if cleaned with abrasive materials, so low-temperature dishwasher cycles with non-abrasive detergent will extend service life considerably. These flutes are not suitable for high-heat applications and should not be used in a dishwasher set above the manufacturer's recommended temperature. They are intended for cold beverage service only.
This format is well suited to bars, wedding and events caterers, outdoor hospitality venues, and any operator who runs regular al fresco service. For sites needing larger quantities for high-volume events, it is worth considering whether a higher pack count option better fits your stock requirements.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right choice for your venue or service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
