£12.31(£14.77 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward 500ml glass carafe from Olympia, sold in a pack of six. It is a clean, unfussy design intended for table service of wine, water, juice, or soft drinks in restaurants, cafés, and hospitality settings.
The carafe is glasswasher safe, which matters in any busy front-of-house operation where turnaround between covers needs to be fast and breakage budgets are a real consideration. Glass construction means it presents well on the table without trapping odours or affecting the taste of the contents — a practical consideration when the same carafes are used across both wine and soft-drink service during a shift.
- Glasswasher safe for quick turnaround during service
- Neutral glass construction — no odour transfer between uses
- Sold in a pack of six, suited to stocking up or replacing broken units
- Versatile for wine, water, juice, or soft-drink service
The pack-of-six format suits operators who need to maintain a workable float of carafes on the floor during a busy service. For higher-volume venues or larger table setups, it is worth considering whether a bigger capacity carafe would better suit your covers.
If you are unsure which carafe size or quantity is right for your service style, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£12.39(£14.87 inc VAT)
These 200ml glass milk bottles from Olympia are a practical choice for venues looking to present drinks in a more considered way. Each bottle is made from glass and shaped in the style of a traditional milk bottle, making them a versatile vessel for a range of drinks presentations beyond a standard tumbler or highball glass.
In a busy bar or restaurant environment, they hold up well across a full service. The glass construction means they feel solid in hand and present drinks cleanly without distorting colour or flavour. They work equally well for cocktails, milkshakes, fresh juices, and soft drinks, and the format lends itself to informal dining concepts, brunch menus, and casual bar service where a bit of character in the glassware suits the setting.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Glasswasher safe, so they integrate into a standard post-service wash routine
- Pack of 12 provides a useful opening quantity for most services
- Compatible with straws, sold separately, if your drinks require them
- Uniform shape makes stacking and storage straightforward
- Glass construction allows inspection for chips or cracks before service
As with any glassware used in high-turnover service, breakage is a practical consideration. It is worth factoring in a reasonable buffer stock depending on your weekly covers. These are not rated for outdoor or high-impact environments where polycarbonate alternatives may be more appropriate.
Well suited to casual dining venues, cocktail bars, brunch concepts, and café-style operations looking to add some personality to their drinks presentation. If you are setting up a new bar or refreshing your glassware range, the team are happy to help you think through quantities and complementary pieces.
£216.00(£259.20 inc VAT)
The Utopia Vision bottle is a 1-litre polycarbonate serving bottle designed for commercial use in bars, restaurants, pubs and outdoor event settings. Built to replace glass where breakage risk or licensing conditions make conventional glassware impractical, it presents water, juice, house spirits or cocktail serves in a clean, professional-looking vessel without the fragility of glass.
Polycarbonate construction makes these bottles genuinely robust under the pressures of regular commercial service. They resist chips, cracks and staining in a way that standard glass cannot, and they hold up well when passed between staff, chilled in ice buckets or placed on outdoor tables. The material also maintains clarity with correct care, keeping the presentation clean over time.
From a practical standpoint, the key advantages for operators are:
- Shatter-resistant build reduces breakage losses and slip hazards during service
- Glasswasher safe, allowing quick turnaround during busy periods
- Lightweight compared to glass, reducing fatigue for bar and floor staff
- Suitable for outdoor and poolside service where glass is prohibited
- Resistant to staining from juice, cordials and coloured mixers
There are no unusual installation or storage requirements. Standard glasswasher temperatures apply; check manufacturer guidance on maximum wash temperature to maintain the material over time. Like all polycarbonate drinkware, these bottles should not be used with abrasive cleaning products, which can dull the surface finish.
These bottles are a practical fit for bars, pub gardens, festival catering, poolside service and anywhere glass-free serving is required or preferred. For operations needing smaller individual serves, alternative sizes may be worth considering. If you are equipping a larger site and need to discuss quantities or whether this format suits your service style, the team are happy to help.
£59.39(£71.27 inc VAT)
The Bormioli Rocco Officina carafe is a 500ml glass serving vessel designed for table water and soft drink service in restaurants, cafés, and bistros. It features embossed ring detailing and a stamped motif that give it a considered, tactile quality without straying into overly decorative territory — a useful balance on a working table setting.
In day-to-day service, a carafe this size comfortably serves two covers for water or a single portion of house wine or cordial. The textured body provides a reasonable grip when carried through a busy pass, and the classic proportions mean it presents well on the table without drawing attention away from the food.
- Embossed ring texture provides practical grip during service
- Vintage-influenced profile suits informal and mid-casual dining settings
- Glass construction allows the contents to be seen clearly at the table
- 500ml capacity suits two-cover water service or single-glass drink portions
- Compact footprint works well on smaller restaurant tables and bar tops
As with most decorative glassware, it is worth considering how this carafe will fare in your specific wash cycle. The embossed detailing can trap limescale in hard-water areas, so regular descaling of your glasswasher will help maintain the finish over time. It is not designed for hot beverages.
This carafe is a practical choice for casual dining restaurants, café operations, and bistro-style venues where understated character on the table matters. If your operation runs high table-turn volume and needs a more utilitarian vessel, a simpler plain-glass carafe in the same capacity range may be a more durable long-term option.
If you are building out a full table setting or are unsure which carafe suits your service style, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through the options.
£112.00(£134.40 inc VAT)
The RCR Cristalleria Combo mixing jug is a 650ml glass jug designed for cocktail preparation and bar service. Made from RCR's Eco-Crystal glass, it offers a high degree of clarity that allows the contents to be presented cleanly, which matters when serving mixed drinks at the table or counter. The vertically pleated body provides a practical grip as well as a defined visual profile.
In a bar or front-of-house setting, these jugs handle regular service well. The Eco-Crystal construction is noticeably clear compared to standard soda-lime glass, which suits venues where presentation is part of the service. They are supplied in a pack of four, which covers a working set with spares in rotation.
- Dishwasher safe, reducing turnaround time during busy service
- High-clarity Eco-Crystal keeps presentation consistent
- Pleated body aids handling during pouring and service
- Pack of four supports continuous rotation at the bar
These jugs are straightforward to integrate into existing bar glassware — no special storage or handling requirements. As with all crystal-class glassware, reasonable care in the glasswasher and during stacking will extend service life. They are not suited to heavy-use, high-attrition environments where standard tumbler-weight glassware would be more practical.
Well suited to cocktail bars, restaurant bar counters, and venues where table presentation of mixed drinks is part of the offer. For higher-volume operations requiring greater attrition tolerance, a more robust glassware range may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this jug fits your current glassware programme or service style, we're happy to talk it through.
£222.00(£266.40 inc VAT)
The RCR Cristalleria Alkemist bottle is a faceted glass bottle with an integral stopper, sold in packs of four. Made from RCR's Eco-Crystal glass, the material offers a high degree of clarity and a noticeably lighter feel than standard glass, while retaining good resistance to the everyday handling demands of a busy front-of-house environment. The geometric, diamond-cut facets catch and refract light well, giving the bottle a considered appearance on the table without requiring elaborate presentation.
In practical service use, these bottles work well for still or sparkling water, house-made cordials, olive oil, or any pourable condiment or infusion that benefits from being decanted into something presentable. The stopper keeps contents fresh between services and reduces the need for staff to repeatedly visit the bar or kitchen during a sitting. The 1070ml capacity is well suited to table sharing — large enough to serve a group without frequent refills, but not so large as to feel unwieldy on a set table.
- Eco-Crystal glass construction with good clarity and lighter weight than standard glass
- Faceted exterior refracts light attractively under dining room lighting
- Integral stopper suitable for water, oils, cordials, and infused drinks
- Pack of four supports efficient table rotation and stock rotation in service
- Suitable for hand washing; check manufacturer guidance before dishwasher use
These bottles are intended for front-of-house use in hotels, restaurants, and café settings. They are not designed for bar fridge storage or high-temperature applications. As with all crystal-glass products, they warrant careful handling during service and washing to maintain their appearance over time.
If you are unsure how many units your service volume requires, or whether this size suits your table format, the team is happy to help you work that through before you order.
£10.11(£12.13 inc VAT)
The Olympia conical carafe is a straightforward, well-made glass carafe intended for table service in cafés, restaurants, and similar hospitality settings. Each carafe holds 610ml, making it a practical size for individual or small-table water service or for presenting house wine by the half-litre. Sold in a pack of six, they are designed with consistent daily use in mind.
The soda lime glass construction is a standard choice for commercial serviceware — it offers a reasonable balance of clarity and durability without being overly fragile in a busy environment. The weighted base reduces the risk of accidental knocking during service, and the rolled rim helps resist chipping at the lip, which is one of the more common points of damage on carafes in regular use. Both are practical details rather than premium flourishes.
- Weighted base for added stability on table and tray
- Rolled rim reduces chipping from everyday handling
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Suitable for water or wine table service
- Pack of six suits initial set-up or replenishment of existing stock
These carafes are well suited to operations running a modest volume of covers where a clean, simple glass carafe fits the table setting. For venues running very high covers or where carafes are turned around rapidly across multiple sittings, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or thicker-walled option would offer better longevity under that level of use.
If you are unsure how many to order relative to your cover count and wash cycle, or whether this style suits your service format, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£26.91(£32.29 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Vin carafe is a straightforward, well-proportioned glass carafe designed for decanting and serving wine or water at the table. The wide mouth makes pouring and filling easy, and the curved body gives it a clean, unfussy appearance that works comfortably across a range of dining styles — from casual bistros to more formal restaurant settings.
In practice, the 1-litre capacity is one of the more useful sizes for table service. It holds slightly more than a standard 75cl bottle, which gives operators a practical option for offering house wine by the carafe without requiring a second pour mid-meal. It works equally well for still or sparkling water, reducing the need for repeated bottle replacements during service.
- Wide mouth for easy filling, pouring, and cleaning
- Curved body sits securely on the table without tipping
- Suitable for commercial dishwashers, supporting rapid turnover
- Clean profile suits both casual and mid-range dining environments
- Sold in a pack of six, practical for stocking to service volume
Being rated for commercial dishwashing is worth noting for busy operations — hand-washing carafes during service is a common bottleneck, and the ability to run these through a glasswasher or dishwasher without concern keeps throughput moving. The glass construction means they should be handled with reasonable care during racking and storage, as with any glassware in a high-volume setting.
These carafes are well suited to restaurants, wine bars, cafés, and hotel dining rooms where table service of wine or water is a regular part of the operation. If you serve particularly high covers or have concerns about breakage rates in a specific setting, it's worth having a conversation with us about quantities and alternatives before placing an order.
£15.71(£18.85 inc VAT)
These Olympia glass carafes are a straightforward, practical choice for table service. Each carafe holds one litre and is made from clear glass, allowing guests to see the contents — useful when serving water, juice, wine, or cold drinks at the table. The pack contains six units, which suits operators who need to set up multiple covers at once or maintain a working stock through a busy service.
In day-to-day use, a carafe like this earns its place through reliability and ease of handling. The proportions are practical for both staff and guests — tall enough to pour cleanly, with a manageable footprint on a set table. Being glasswasher safe means turnaround between services is straightforward, with no need for hand-washing, which matters when covers are moving quickly.
- Glasswasher safe for fast, efficient turnaround between services
- Clear glass construction lets guests see the contents clearly
- Suitable for water, juice, wine, cordial, and cold beverages
- Pack of six supports multi-cover service without repeated restocking
- Simple, unfussy design works across a range of table settings
These carafes are well suited to restaurants, cafés, hotel dining rooms, and event catering where a clean, functional carafe is needed in volume. They are not designed for hot liquids or oven use. For operators needing a larger format for family-style service or high-volume tables, a bigger capacity option may be worth considering.
If you are putting together a full table service package or need guidance on quantities for your covers, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£179.00(£214.80 inc VAT)
The Utopia Atlantis is a 1-litre lidded glass bottle designed for table water and juice service. Clean, contemporary in profile, and practical in use, it sits comfortably alongside modern tableware and offers a more considered alternative to the traditional carafe or jug format.
In a busy dining environment, these bottles work well for pre-prepared still or sparkling water service, cold-infused drinks, or freshly pressed juices. The lid keeps contents covered between service and reduces the risk of spillage during handling by front-of-house staff. Glass construction means drinks remain unaffected in taste, and the bottles present well on the table without looking utilitarian.
Practical advantages for day-to-day service include:
- Lidded design keeps drinks covered and reduces contamination risk
- Glass material is taste-neutral and easy to inspect for cleanliness
- Consistent 1-litre capacity suits batch preparation for busy covers
- Sold in packs of 12 to support a full section or floor setup
- Straightforward to stack and store in a standard back-of-house environment
There are no installation requirements — these are ready to use straight from the box. As with all glassware in a commercial setting, handling and washing procedures will affect longevity. Establishments with a high turnover of covers or rough glasswash cycles may want to factor in a slightly higher replacement rate than with heavier-gauge alternatives.
These bottles are a practical choice for restaurants, cafés, bistros, and event catering operations where a clean, modern look at the table matters. They suit venues that pre-prepare table water or house beverages ahead of service. For higher-volume operations requiring a more robust or larger-format vessel, alternatives may be worth considering.
If you are unsure how many packs suit your cover count or floor layout, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£85.49(£102.59 inc VAT)
These 1-litre polycarbonate carafes from Utopia are a practical choice for operators who need a reliable serving vessel that looks the part without the fragility of glass. Made from polycarbonate, they carry the appearance of glassware while offering considerably more resilience in busy or outdoor service environments.
In practice, polycarbonate carafes hold up well in settings where breakages are a recurring cost — outdoor events, festival catering, poolside service, and high-turnover hospitality venues where glassware handling is a risk. The 1-litre capacity suits standard table service for water, juice, or house wine by the carafe, and the format works well across both casual dining and more formal settings.
Key practical advantages for service teams include:
- Break, chip, and shatter resistance — significantly reduces replacement costs
- Stain-resistant polycarbonate construction holds appearance over repeated use
- Glasswasher safe, keeping turnaround time short during service
- Lightweight format is easier to handle during busy service periods
- Supplied in a pack of 6, suitable for stocking a full section or bar
As with all polycarbonate servingware, these carafes are not suitable for use with hot liquids and should be kept away from high-heat environments during storage and washing. Over time, heavy commercial use may cause surface clouding — this is normal for polycarbonate and does not affect performance, though operators with particularly high presentation standards may wish to factor in periodic replacement.
These carafes are well suited to event caterers, outdoor hospitality, pubs, casual dining restaurants, and any venue looking to reduce glassware breakage without compromising on presentation. If your operation requires glass for compliance or brand reasons, or you need larger serving formats, it is worth reviewing the broader range before ordering.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate servingware is the right fit for your service style or venue type, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£46.09(£55.31 inc VAT)
These glass carafes from Utopia are a straightforward table-service piece, suitable for presenting wine, water, juice, or other beverages to guests. Each carafe holds one litre and features a simple embossed grape-cluster detail that gives them a degree of character without being overly decorative. They are supplied in a pack of six, making them a practical choice when outfitting a dining room or replenishing existing stock.
In a busy restaurant or café environment, carafes like these earn their place by allowing wine to breathe before it reaches the guest, which is a small but appreciated touch during service. They are equally well suited to water service, reducing the frequency of trips to the table and helping front-of-house run more smoothly during peak covers.
- Glass construction suits both wine and water service
- Embossed detailing presents well on the table without being fussy
- Supplied in sixes, practical for stocking a dining room or keeping spares
- Straightforward to clean and stack for storage
Being glass, they require the usual care in a commercial wash environment — a suitable glass rack and a correctly dosed glasswasher detergent will help preserve clarity and prevent marking over time. They are not intended for high-temperature oven or heated-cabinet use.
These carafes are a sensible fit for restaurants, wine bars, bistros, and café-style venues where table presentation matters but simplicity and practicality are equally important. If you are equipping a larger venue or need a more substantial pour size, it is worth considering whether a different capacity would better suit your service style. The team is happy to help if you would like to talk through what works best for your covers.
£43.00(£51.60 inc VAT)
The Bormioli Rocco Officina carafe is a 1.2 litre glass serving carafe designed for table water, wine, and soft drink service in restaurants, cafés, and bistros. It is made from glass and features an embossed stamp and textured ring detailing that gives it a vintage-influenced appearance, suitable for operators who want tableware that adds a degree of character without being overtly decorative.
In a busy service environment, the Officina carafe holds enough volume to reduce the frequency of refills during a sitting, which helps front-of-house staff manage table service more efficiently. The glass construction means customers can see the contents clearly, which works well for still or sparkling water presented at the table.
- Textured ring detail adds visual interest without complicating cleaning
- Clear glass suits water, wine, juice, and cold beverage service
- Practical capacity for table service without over-pouring
- Vintage-style embossed stamp suits informal and mid-market dining settings
The carafe is glassware, so standard care applies — it is not suitable for use on direct heat and should be handled with the usual caution expected of glass service items in a busy dining room. Operators running high-turnover covers may wish to consider the quantity held in reserve to account for breakages over time.
This carafe is well suited to independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, cafés, and wine bars where table presentation matters. If you are equipping a larger site or need to match it to existing glassware ranges, the team are happy to advise on suitability and quantities before you order.
£49.65(£59.58 inc VAT)
These 500ml carafes from Utopia's Village collection are a straightforward, well-proportioned tableware option for serving water or house wine in restaurants, bistros, cafés, and similar hospitality settings. Machine-made from glass, they have a clean, unfussy profile that sits comfortably alongside most table settings without drawing attention away from the overall cover.
For front-of-house teams, practical tableware needs to withstand a busy service without requiring careful handling. These carafes are dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround time between covers manageable and reduces the handling burden on floor staff during peak periods.
- Dishwasher safe — straightforward to clean and turn around between covers
- Simple, neutral design that suits a range of table settings
- Sold in packs of six, practical for stocking multiples across a section
- Lightweight enough for comfortable pouring at the table
The pack-of-six format makes it easy to build up enough stock for a full section without overcommitting on a single large order. For operators running high covers or banqueting-style service, larger pack quantities or more robust glassware may be worth considering depending on breakage rates and volume.
If you're unsure how these fit into your current tableware setup or want to discuss quantities for your operation, we're happy to help you work it out.
£23.83(£28.60 inc VAT)
These 1-litre glass carafes from Utopia are a straightforward, practical choice for table service of water, wine, juice or soft drinks. Made from soda lime glass with a deliberately understated, unfinished aesthetic, they sit comfortably alongside both rustic and contemporary table settings without drawing attention away from the food and drink being served.
The narrow neck and wide body proportion gives a degree of control when pouring, which helps reduce overspills during busy service — a small but useful detail when front-of-house staff are moving quickly. The proportions also make them easy to handle and carry, and they stack and store without taking up excessive back-of-house space.
For a catering operation, buying in a pack of six makes practical sense. Carafes see regular handling, and having enough in rotation to cover washing cycles without running short mid-service is something most operators learn to plan for.
- Plain glass construction suits a wide range of service styles
- Narrow neck supports controlled, splash-reduced pouring
- Pack of six provides useful rotation stock for busy services
- Lightweight build is manageable for front-of-house staff
- Simple form is easy to clean by hand or through a glasswasher
These carafes are well suited to restaurants, cafés, bistros and event caterers looking for a reliable, unfussy option for table water or house wine service. If you're equipping a high-turnover site and need greater quantity or something more robust, it's worth having a conversation with the team about the right specification for your volume.
£69.93(£83.92 inc VAT)
These Utopia bistro jugs are a straightforward, classically proportioned glassware option designed for table service in restaurants, cafés, and bar environments. Each jug holds 250ml — a compact size that works well for individual water portions, small table settings, or single-serve cocktail and drinks presentation. Supplied in a pack of 24, they're suited to operations that need consistent, matching serviceware across a full dining floor.
The rounded glass body has a clean, unfussy profile that sits comfortably alongside most tableware styles without drawing attention to itself — which is generally what you want from service glassware. The modest capacity means they're not intended for shared water service at large tables, but for two-cover settings or bar counter presentation they're a practical choice.
- Compact 250ml capacity — practical for individual portions or small table settings
- Classic bistro profile — pairs well with a wide range of tableware styles
- Suitable for commercial dishwashing, supporting efficient turnaround during service
- Pack of 24 provides sufficient coverage for a standard restaurant or café floor
- Glass construction gives a clean, professional appearance on the table
Being dishwasher-safe is a genuine operational consideration here — glassware that can't keep pace with a busy turnaround quickly becomes a liability. These jugs are rated for commercial dishwashing, which makes them a realistic option for operations running multiple sittings. If your service volume is higher or you need a larger shared jug for bigger tables, it's worth looking at the larger sizes available in the same range.
If you're unsure how many packs suit your cover count, or whether this size is the right fit for how you serve drinks, feel free to have a conversation with the team before ordering.
£22.08(£26.50 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward, well-made glass carafe designed for table service in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and similar hospitality settings. Each carafe holds one litre, making it a practical size for serving water or house wine at the table, or for chilling and storing liquids in a refrigerator during prep and service.
The conical profile is clean and unfussy — it works equally well on a laid table or a drinks station without looking out of place. The weighted base improves stability on busy table surfaces, which matters in high-turnover environments where staff are moving quickly and space is tight. Rolled edges help resist chipping during daily handling and washing, which is where most glassware takes its wear.
In operational terms, these carafes offer a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Dishwasher safe, reducing handling time between service covers
- Sold in a pack of six, making it easier to maintain consistent front-of-house presentation
- Soda lime glass construction is robust enough for commercial daily use
- Simple conical shape is straightforward to clean and dry thoroughly
- Suitable for both chilled water service and ambient wine service
There are no particular installation requirements here — these are stackable, lightweight, and ready to use. The main practical consideration is matching your order quantity to your covers and anticipated breakage rate. For high-volume operations running multiple sittings, it is worth holding additional stock rather than running close to minimum.
These carafes are well suited to mid-market restaurants, cafés, and hotel dining rooms where durable, presentable glassware is needed at a sensible price point. They are not a premium crystal product, but that is not the intention — the focus is reliable, consistent service ware that holds up to daily commercial use.
If you are unsure how many to stock for your covers or whether this size is the right fit for your service style, the team are happy to help you work it out.
£63.56(£76.27 inc VAT)
The Luigi Bormioli Atelier Carafe is a 250ml lead-free crystal carafe designed to sit alongside the Atelier and Atelier Prestige ranges of stemware and tumblers. It is a compact individual-serve carafe — well suited to water, wine, or house spirits service — and is sold in cases of twelve, which suits the buying patterns of most hospitality operations.
Made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx high-tech crystal, the carafe offers notably good clarity and brilliance without the fragility concerns that sometimes come with decorative glassware. The material is engineered to resist mechanical shocks better than standard glass, which matters on a busy service pass or when glassware is being handled quickly during a full cover. Luigi Bormioli rate SON.hyx glassware to withstand up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without loss of clarity or surface quality — a practical consideration for venues running high-volume glass turns.
At 250ml, this is an individual-portion format. It works well for table water service, small wine portions, or juice presentation in café and restaurant settings. The matching design across the Atelier range means it integrates cleanly into a coordinated table cover without looking like an afterthought.
- Dishwasher-safe to commercial standards — reduces handling care requirements
- Lead-free crystal maintains clarity over repeated wash cycles
- Compact individual-serve format suits controlled portion service
- Coordinates with the broader Atelier stemware and tumbler range
- Sold in twelves — practical case quantity for stocking and reordering
For venues needing larger-format carafes for sharing service or table wine, other sizes within the range may be more appropriate. If you are building out a full Atelier table setting or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£75.98(£91.18 inc VAT)
The Utopia Authentico is a 1-litre glass water bottle designed for table water service in restaurants, cafés, and bistros. It offers a straightforward alternative to a conventional glass jug, with a shape that sits comfortably on a dining table and pours cleanly without dripping. The bottles are sold in packs of six, which suits most opening stocks for a small dining room.
In day-to-day service, a 1-litre capacity works well for two to three covers and reduces the number of top-ups required during a sitting. The glass construction keeps water cool at the table, and the bottle's form gives a relaxed, informal feel that suits casual dining settings and neighbourhood restaurants particularly well.
- Glass material keeps water cool and free from any plastic flavour transfer
- 1-litre capacity suits two to three covers per bottle
- Pack of six allows a practical opening stock without over-ordering
- Informal, tactile shape complements relaxed dining environments
- Made from recycled glass, supporting venues with sustainability commitments
Because these are glass items, it is worth thinking about your breakage rate when deciding how many packs to hold in reserve. Venues with high table turnover or bar-to-table carry distances may benefit from a larger buffer stock. If you are fitting out a larger dining room or want advice on matching these to the rest of your tableware, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
£49.16(£58.99 inc VAT)
The Utopia Elysia carafe is a 940ml soda lime glass carafe with a vertically cut exterior profile, produced in a pack of six. It is designed for table water, juice, wine, and general beverage service in restaurant and hospitality environments where presentation at the table matters alongside practical durability.
Soda lime glass is the standard material for commercial carafes of this type — it offers a reasonable balance of clarity, weight, and resistance to the everyday knocks of a busy dining room. At 780g per carafe, the Elysia sits at a comfortable serving weight: substantial enough to feel considered on the table without being unwieldy for front-of-house staff to carry and pour from during a full service. The vertical cut detail gives the carafe a degree of visual structure that reads well on both formal and informal table settings.
Practical points worth considering for service use:
- Pack of six suits initial stocking for small to medium covers or as a top-up to an existing set
- Soda lime construction is suitable for standard commercial glasswashers
- The cut profile provides a natural grip when pouring
- Consistent sizing makes storage and stacking straightforward on back-of-house shelving
- Clear glass suits water, juice, and wine service without visual conflict
These carafes are well suited to cafés, bistros, mid-range restaurants, and event catering where a clean, classic glassware aesthetic is preferred. Operations running higher cover volumes may want to consider ordering in greater quantities to maintain adequate rotation through the glasswasher without running short during service.
If you are selecting glassware across a full table setting or want to confirm quantities for your covers, the team is happy to talk it through.
£49.16(£58.99 inc VAT)
The Utopia Timeless Vintage carafe is a machine-made soda lime glass carafe with a cut-crystal aesthetic. The textured faceted profile gives the appearance of traditional hand-cut crystal without the associated fragility or cost, making it a practical choice for front-of-house service where presentation matters but glassware turnover is a daily reality.
In everyday service these carafes work well for table water, house wine, or soft drinks. The 940ml capacity is a useful size for covers of two to four, reducing the frequency of top-ups during a sitting without the carafe becoming unwieldy to handle or pour from. The machine-made construction means the glass is more consistent in thickness and balance than mouth-blown alternatives, which helps with stacking, storage, and general handling during busy service.
A few practical points worth noting for operators:
- Soda lime glass construction — lighter on weight than lead crystal, suitable for everyday use
- Textured surface adds grip when pouring and helps disguise minor watermarks in service
- Supplied in a pack of six, which suits initial stocking or replacing breakages across a section
- Not recommended for dishwashers running aggressive chemical cycles, which can dull the surface over time
These carafes are well suited to casual dining restaurants, bistros, wine bars, and hotel dining rooms where a traditional table aesthetic is preferred over contemporary minimalist glassware. They are less suited to high-volume quick-service environments where plainer, more interchangeable glassware is typically the better operational choice.
If you are unsure whether this style or capacity fits your covers and service format, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

The Utopia SAN jugs are clear SAN plastic jugs, CE marked and sold in packs of six, a glass-look alternative for bars, pubs and casual dining venues and for sites with a glass-reduction policy. They come in two sizes: 1.14Ltr and 2.27Ltr. Choose the size above.
Sizes, SKUs, dimensions and weights:
- 1.14Ltr (CY429): 205(H) x 115(Ø)mm, 317g

The Utopia Atlantic jug is a 1600ml polycarbonate serving jug designed for commercial bar, restaurant, and function use. It is shaped and finished to resemble glassware, making it suitable for front-of-house service where presentation matters, while being made entirely from plastic — giving it the practical durability that busy service environments require.
In a working environment, the key advantage of polycarbonate over glass is straightforward: it withstands the knocks and drops that are inevitable during high-volume service without shattering. For outdoor dining, beer gardens, events, and function catering in particular, this makes the Atlantic a practical choice where broken glass is a genuine operational or licensing concern. The 1600ml capacity is well suited to table service of water, soft drinks, cocktail jugs, and similar beverages.
- Break, chip, and shatter resistant — reduces breakage losses and safety risks
- Glasswasher safe for quick turnaround between services
- Stain-resistant polycarbonate maintains a clean appearance over time
- Clear finish replicates the look of glass for front-of-house use
- Supplied in a pack of four, practical for stocking service stations
Being glasswasher safe is a meaningful operational point — hand-washing large jugs at pace during service is slow and inconsistent. Running these through an existing glasswasher keeps turnaround tight without additional labour. The pack-of-four quantity suits sites that need to hold sufficient covers of jugs in rotation without overstocking.
These jugs are best suited to licensed premises, function venues, outdoor dining operations, and any site where the risks associated with glass service need to be managed. If your operation requires very large-format jugs or pitchers for high-capacity events, it is worth checking whether a different size or format better matches your throughput.
If you are unsure which jug format or quantity suits your setup, we are happy to advise based on your service style and cover count.
£17.23(£20.68 inc VAT)
These are straightforward, traditionally styled glass jugs holding one litre each, supplied in a pack of six. They are a practical choice for table service of water, juice, or cold beverages, and the classic profile suits most front-of-house settings without looking out of place.
For everyday service use, the key practical points are worth noting. The jugs are glasswasher safe, which keeps turnaround simple during busy periods. The glass construction means they present well on the table and are easy to inspect for cleanliness before service. Being supplied in a pack of six, they suit venues that need a usable float of jugs rather than a single unit.
- Glasswasher safe for straightforward, efficient turnaround
- Traditional styling suits a wide range of front-of-house settings
- Glass construction is easy to check visually for cleanliness
- Supplied as a pack of six, practical for daily service floats
- One litre capacity suits standard table water and juice service
These jugs are best suited to cafés, restaurants, hotels, and event catering where a reliable, presentable jug is needed for cold service. They are not designed for hot liquids. For venues running very high covers or outdoor events where breakage risk is higher, it may be worth considering polycarbonate alternatives.
If you are unsure how many to order for your cover count or want to discuss other serving options, we are happy to help you work it out.
From £41.51(£49.81 inc VAT)
The Utopia polycarbonate jugs are clear, break-resistant polycarbonate serving jugs designed to look like glassware, sold in packs of 6, for pubs, bars, beer gardens, outdoor events, festivals, poolside service and venues where glass is restricted. They come in two sizes: a 2-pint jug that is CA stamped for use as a measure, and a Diamond 3-pint jug holding 1704ml. Choose the size above.
Sizes, SKUs and dimensions:
- 2 Pint, CA stamped (FU636): 205(H) x 164(Ø)mm
- 3 Pint, 1704ml (FH153): dimensions not stated, because the figures held are not usable

These 0.5 litre glass jugs from Olympia are a practical choice for table service in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues. With a traditional style that suits a wide range of front-of-house settings, they work equally well for water, juice, or other cold beverages served directly to guests.
Each jug is made from glass and is confirmed glasswasher safe, which matters in any busy service environment where turnaround speed between covers counts. Having a pack of six on hand means you can keep a working set in rotation without interruption during peak service, running one set through the glasswasher while another is in use on the floor.
- Glasswasher safe for fast, hygienic turnaround between covers
- Traditional styling suits a broad range of front-of-house environments
- Supplied in a pack of six to support continuous table service
- Straightforward, practical shape that is easy for staff to handle and pour from
- Suitable for water, juice, and similar cold beverage service

£124.00(£148.80 inc VAT)
The RCR Cristalleria Melodia carafe is a mid-capacity lidless carafe designed for table water, wine, and soft drink service in restaurants, cafés, and hospitality venues. Produced by RCR Cristalleria, an Italian glassware manufacturer, the Melodia range is characterised by its faceted profile, which gives the glass a degree of visual interest without complicating handling or stacking. This listing covers a pack of four carafes, each with a 1160ml capacity.
In a busy front-of-house environment, carafes of this size strike a practical balance — large enough to serve a table of two to four guests without constant refilling, yet light enough for floor staff to handle comfortably during a full service. The lidless design suits venues where speed of service takes priority and where carafes are returned to the wash promptly after use.
From an operational standpoint, the Melodia carafe offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Faceted exterior aids grip, reducing the chance of drops during busy service
- Pack of four supports consistent glassware presentation across tables
- Lidless format simplifies both service and warewashing turnaround
- Suitable for water, wine, juice, and cold beverage service
- Crystal glass construction gives clarity and weight appropriate for a mid-range cover
There are no specialist installation requirements — these are standard table carafes requiring only appropriate storage racking and a compatible glasswasher cycle. As with all crystal glassware, care should be taken to avoid thermal shock during washing, and staff handling should be factored into breakage planning for high-volume covers.
These carafes are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and café-bar operations looking for a presentable, practical carafe at a sensible price point. They sit at the mid-range of the Melodia collection; operators requiring heavier-duty or higher-capacity options for banqueting or high-turnover service may find alternative formats within the range more appropriate.
If you are equipping a new venue or replacing existing glassware at scale, the team is happy to advise on quantities and pack options before you order.
£194.00(£232.80 inc VAT)
These 1-litre polycarbonate carafes from Utopia are a practical choice for operations that need the appearance of glassware without the fragility that comes with it. Made from polycarbonate, they carry the profile and clarity of a traditional glass carafe while being substantially more resistant to breakage, chipping, and staining — a meaningful difference in busy or outdoor service environments.
In practice, polycarbonate carafes of this type see regular use across outdoor dining areas, events catering, poolside service, and high-turnover venues where glass presents a safety or replacement-cost concern. The 1-litre capacity suits standard water and juice service per table, and the format works equally well for still or sparkling water, house wines, or cold beverages.
- Break-resistant and chip-resistant polycarbonate construction reduces replacement costs
- Glasswasher safe, simplifying turnaround during busy service periods
- Stain-resistant material maintains a clean appearance over repeated use
- Replicates the look of glass without the associated breakage risk
- Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to multi-table or event-scale deployment
Being glasswasher safe is a practical advantage during service — these can move through a standard glasswasher cycle without special handling, which keeps turnaround efficient. Over time, polycarbonate can show wear if cleaned abrasively or put through high-temperature cycles repeatedly, so following the manufacturer's care guidance will extend their useful life.
This size and format is well suited to restaurants, hotels, event caterers, and outdoor hospitality operations. For venues requiring a smaller serving size or a different format, other carafe options are available in the range. If you are unsure which capacity or pack size fits your cover count or service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
£28.10(£33.72 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Vin carafe is a plain, wide-brimmed glass carafe designed for decanting and serving wine at the table. At 250ml, each carafe holds a single generous glass, making it a practical choice for individual covers or for offering a small finishing measure towards the end of a meal. The straightforward shape keeps the focus on the drink rather than the vessel, which tends to sit well in bistro, brasserie, and casual dining settings.
In service, carafes of this size are commonly used to portion house wine without the commitment of a full bottle — useful for managing stock control and reducing table waste. They work equally well at events and celebrations where individual portions keep service clean and consistent. The modest weight means front-of-house staff can handle them comfortably even during busy covers.
- Suitable for commercial glasswashing, which keeps turnaround straightforward
- The wide brim makes filling and rinsing between services quick and simple
- Sold in a pack of 12, giving a practical starting quantity for most table counts
- Simple styling works across a range of table settings without appearing out of place
As with any glassware used in commercial service, it is worth considering your breakage rate when deciding how many packs to hold in stock. Glass carafes in this size bracket are a consumable as much as they are an asset, so buying in sufficient quantity to maintain a working float is sensible practice.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your service style — or whether a larger carafe would better match your wine-by-the-carafe offering — the team are happy to talk it through.
£24.83(£29.80 inc VAT)
The Utopia Iconic bottles are 350ml soda lime glass bottles designed for table and bar service. The profile is clean and upright with a straightforward, unfussy aesthetic that sits comfortably across a range of service styles — from casual dining and café counters through to more considered cocktail and beverage presentation.
In a service context, the 350ml capacity is a practical size for individual water portions, pre-mixed cordials, flavoured waters, or small-batch cocktail serves. The soda lime construction gives a reasonable balance of clarity and durability for everyday front-of-house use, though as with all glassware it is suited to careful handling and suitable washing practices rather than high-impact service environments.
- Clean, minimal form that works across dining and bar settings
- Individual portion size suitable for water, cordials, and cocktail service
- Soda lime glass with good clarity for presentable table service
- Supplied in a pack of six, practical for stocking a small section or supplementing existing covers
- Lightweight at 220g per bottle, easy for floor staff to handle during service
These bottles are best suited to independent cafés, restaurants, and bar operations looking for a simple, consistent glassware piece for beverage service. The pack of six is a sensible quantity for smaller operations or for trialling the style before committing to larger volumes. Sites with higher cover counts or more demanding service volumes may want to consider ordering in greater quantities to maintain adequate rotation through washing cycles.
If you are building out a glassware range or unsure how many packs suit your covers and wash cycle, the team is happy to talk it through.
