These 3-litre glass carafes from Steelite's Elite range are a straightforward, practical choice for table water and wine service in restaurants, hotels, and event catering. Each carafe is designed for front-of-house use where clean presentation and durability through repeated service cycles both matter.
In a busy dining environment, carafes take a fair amount of daily handling — clearing, rinsing, refilling, stacking. The Elite range is built with that reality in mind, offering the clarity and weight of proper glassware without being fragile in a working environment. The 295mm height keeps them stable on trays and service stations, and the 3-litre capacity suits table water service for larger parties or wine service where a full bottle equivalent is needed at the table.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Consistent presentation across a full service — packs of 12 help operators build matching sets without mixing batches
- Clear glass construction allows front-of-house staff to monitor fill levels without disturbing guests
- 3-litre capacity reduces the frequency of refills during longer covers
- Sized for practical pouring without being cumbersome to handle one-handed
- Buying in case quantities keeps per-unit cost manageable and allows for breakage contingency
As with all glassware used in commercial service, handling protocols, glass storage, and washing procedures will affect longevity. These are glass carafes — not polycarbonate — so they are suited to table service rather than high-risk outdoor or poolside environments.
They are a sound option for restaurants, hotels, and banqueting operations that serve table water or wine in carafes as standard. Operators running very high-volume banqueting with significant breakage rates may want to weigh up whether a polycarbonate alternative better suits the environment.
If you are unsure whether the 3-litre size is right for your service style, or want to discuss case quantities for a larger opening order, we are happy to help you work it through.
£46.58(£55.90 inc VAT)
The Bormioli Rocco Officina carafe is a small-format glass serving vessel designed for individual table use. Its embossed stamp and textured ring detailing give it a distinctly vintage character that works well on informal dining tables, café counters, and bistro-style covers where a degree of warmth and personality in the tabletop is part of the atmosphere operators are trying to create.
At 250ml, this is a single-serve carafe, well suited to water service or a small pour of house wine. It sits comfortably on a set table without dominating the cover, and the textured body provides a confident grip for both front-of-house staff during service and for seated guests pouring their own drinks.
From an operational standpoint, the Officina carafe keeps things straightforward:
- Distinctive vintage aesthetic adds character to informal and bistro-style table settings
- Compact footprint suits tighter table layouts without cluttering the cover
- Textured body improves grip during busy service
- Glass construction supports a clean, hygienic presentation
- Consistent shape makes for tidy, stackable storage behind the bar or on service stations
It is worth noting that at 250ml this carafe is not intended for shared table service — venues needing larger-format carafes for groups or family-style covers will find more suitable options elsewhere in the range. As a glass item, standard care applies regarding handling during washing-up and storage.
This carafe is most commonly used in independent restaurants, café bars, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where the tabletop aesthetic matters as much as function. If you are equipping a larger number of covers or want to discuss matching glassware and serveware to your table concept, we are happy to help you work through what suits your operation.
£14.39(£17.27 inc VAT)
These 0.5 litre glass carafes from Utopia are a practical tableware option for restaurants, cafés and bistros looking to serve water, wine or soft drinks without relying on bottles. Made from soda lime glass, they have a simple, unfussy profile with a narrow neck that helps control the pour and reduces the likelihood of spills during busy service.
The unfinished, minimal aesthetic suits a range of table settings — from casual dining to more relaxed wine bars — without looking out of place in either direction. At 0.5 litres, each carafe is a sensible individual or two-person portion size for water service, and works equally well for house wine by the half-bottle equivalent.
Supplied in a pack of six, they are well suited to venues establishing or refreshing a table water or wine service. A few practical points worth noting:
- Soda lime glass construction — practical and widely used in hospitality settings
- Narrow neck supports controlled pouring with reduced spill risk
- 0.5Ltr capacity suits individual or two-cover water and wine service
- Straightforward, minimal profile works across varied table settings
- Pack of six provides a useful starter quantity for smaller venues
For larger operations or venues running multiple sittings, it may be worth considering the quantity required to maintain a smooth rotation through service, washing, and reset. If you are unsure how many to stock or whether a different size would serve your covers better, the team is happy to talk it through.
£22.94(£27.53 inc VAT)
These Arcoroc glass jugs are a straightforward, functional option for table service and counter use in commercial hospitality settings. At one litre capacity, they are a practical size for water, juice, iced drinks or soft beverage service, and the pack format makes them a sensible choice when stocking or replacing glassware across a busy operation.
Arcoroc is a well-established name in commercial glassware, and these jugs are built to the standard expected in professional service environments — clear glass, a comfortable handle, and a shape that pours cleanly without excessive drip. They are commonly used in restaurants, cafés, hotel dining rooms, and contract catering settings where a reliable, replaceable jug is needed rather than a decorative statement piece.
Key practical points for service use:
- Suitable for water, juice, iced beverages and soft drink service
- Clear glass construction makes fill level easy to read during service
- Pack of six supports stock rotation and breakage replacement
- Straightforward shape is easy to hand-wash or run through a glasswasher
- Consistent sizing across the range simplifies storage and tray loading
As with any glassware in a commercial setting, handling procedures and glasswasher temperatures should be considered to extend service life. These are not designed for hot beverage service or oven use.
Well suited to cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues needing reliable table-service jugs in volume. If you need guidance on quantities for your cover count or want to discuss glassware for a wider table setup, the team is happy to help.
£27.90(£33.48 inc VAT)
These Arcoroc glass jugs are a straightforward, practical choice for table service in cafés, restaurants, hotels, and similar hospitality environments. Each jug holds 1.3 litres, making them well suited to serving water, juice, or other cold beverages at the table or from a service station. The pack of six makes them practical to buy and stock in one go, reducing the need for repeated top-up orders.
Arcoroc is a well-established name in commercial glassware, and these jugs reflect that — they're made for regular use in busy service environments rather than occasional domestic use. The glass construction keeps them easy to clean and allows guests to see the contents clearly, which is particularly useful on table where presentation matters alongside function.
- Clear glass allows easy visual check of contents and fill level
- 1.3 litre capacity suits table service for two to four covers
- Pack of six supports consistent presentation across multiple tables
- Glass material is dishwasher compatible and straightforward to maintain
- Suitable for water, juice, cordials, and similar cold beverages
It's worth bearing in mind that these are glass items, so appropriate handling and storage procedures will help manage breakage rates in a busy environment. Operations with very high table turnover may want to consider stocking additional units to maintain cover. If you're unsure how many to order for your volume of service, or whether a different size jug would suit your setup better, feel free to get in touch and we can point you in the right direction.
£18.81(£22.57 inc VAT)
The Olympia Curved Glass Decanter is a 750ml mouth-blown glass carafe designed for presenting wine and spirits at the table. The curved profile gives it a considered, unfussy appearance that sits comfortably in a range of dining settings without looking out of place.
In front-of-house use, the wide-rimmed opening makes pouring straightforward in both directions — filling from a bottle and serving at the table — which helps keep service moving during busy covers. The flat base keeps the decanter stable on tablecloths, trays, and bar counters, reducing the risk of knocks and spills during a busy service.
- Practical for both wine and spirits service at the table
- Wide opening aids clean, controlled pouring
- Flat base provides reliable stability on uneven surfaces
- Mouth-blown construction gives a quality feel without excessive weight
- Straightforward to hand-wash and inspect for clarity
At 707g, it is light enough to handle comfortably when full, though as with all mouth-blown glassware it should be handled with care during washing and stacking. It is not designed for high-volume decanting lines where a sturdier or larger-format carafe may be more appropriate.
This decanter is well suited to restaurants, wine bars, and hotel dining rooms looking for a clean, presentable carafe for table service. For operations requiring a smaller serving size or a larger-format decanter, alternatives are available within the range.
If you are building out a glassware range or are unsure which format best suits your service style, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£40.71(£48.85 inc VAT)
These Artis glass water bottles are a straightforward, practical solution for table water service. The beer-bottle-style swing-top lid allows for easy refilling and sealing between uses, making them well suited to settings where staff need to top up and present water quickly during a busy service. Each bottle holds one litre, which is a sensible size for a two- to four-cover table without becoming unwieldy to handle or store.
Glass construction gives a clean, presentable appearance at the table without the visual compromise of plastic, and it is also easier to assess cleanliness at a glance — a practical consideration when covers are turning quickly. The swing-top mechanism is simple to operate and straightforward to strip down for washing, either by hand or through a commercial glasswasher.
- Consistent presentation across a section with a matching set of six
- Swing-top lid seals reliably between fills — reduces spillage risk during service
- Glass material allows quick visual hygiene checks before placing on the table
- Suitable for countertop water stations as well as direct table service
- Neutral, unfussy design works alongside most tableware styles
As with any glass tableware, these are best suited to environments where handling is reasonably controlled — café and restaurant settings rather than high-turnover bar environments where breakage risk is elevated. They are sold in packs of six, which suits a standard station or section setup without over-ordering.
If you are unsure how many packs suit your covers, or whether this style fits your current service format, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£17.31(£20.77 inc VAT)
These Olympia glass water bottles are a straightforward solution for table water service in restaurants, cafés, bistros, and similar settings. Each bottle holds 0.5 litres and comes fitted with a stopper, making them practical for presenting still or chilled water directly on the table without the need for a separate carafe or jug.
The slender profile keeps the footprint compact on a dressed table, and the clear glass allows guests to see at a glance when a refill is needed — a small but useful detail during a busy service. The stopper helps maintain water temperature slightly longer and prevents spillage during carrying.
For front-of-house teams, the practical benefits include:
- Glasswasher safe construction, reducing turnaround time between covers
- Uniform appearance across the table when using the full pack of six
- Lightweight enough for easy handling during service
- Stopper-fitted design keeps water clean during transit from the bar or pass
- Simple, unfussy styling that suits a range of table settings
These bottles are well suited to independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and café-bistros where table water is served as standard. They are not designed for heavy bar use or carbonated beverages. For operations running multiple sittings or larger covers, having several packs in rotation will support a smooth glasswasher cycle without interrupting service.
If you are unsure how many packs you need for your cover count or turnaround, we are happy to help you work that out.
£37.99(£45.59 inc VAT)
The Utopia 3-pint SAN jug is a practical, robust serving jug designed for table and bar service in commercial hospitality environments. Made from SAN (styrene acrylonitrile) plastic, it closely resembles glassware in appearance while offering considerably better durability under the daily pressures of busy service. Sold in a pack of six, it suits venues that need reliable, matching stock across multiple tables or service stations.
SAN plastic is well suited to high-turnover environments where breakages and chipping are a recurring cost. Unlike standard plastic, it carries a clarity that holds up well in front of guests, making it a reasonable alternative to glass where safety or practicality is a concern — on outdoor terraces, at festivals, in sports bars, or wherever glassware restrictions apply. The material is also stain-resistant, which helps maintain a presentable appearance over repeated use.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Break-resistant and chip-resistant construction reduces ongoing replacement costs
- Stain-resistant surface maintains appearance with regular use
- Glasswasher safe, supporting fast turnaround during busy service periods
- Lightweight design makes handling easier for floor staff
- Pack of six provides consistent matched stock from the outset
There are no special storage or installation requirements. These jugs stack and store easily, and the glasswasher-safe construction means they fit into standard warewashing routines without adjustment. They are not suitable for use with hot beverages.
This jug is well suited to pubs, bars, casual dining restaurants, event catering, and outdoor hospitality where durability and presentation both matter. For venues requiring a smaller serving size or a different volume altogether, alternative sizes are available within the range.
If you're unsure which jug size or material best fits your service style, the team is happy to help you work it through.
£42.20(£50.64 inc VAT)
The Luigi Bormioli Atelier Carafe is a 500ml table carafe produced in SON.hyx, Luigi Bormioli's lead-free crystal glass. The range is designed to sit alongside the Atelier and Atelier Prestige stemware and tumbler collections, giving front-of-house a consistent look across the table. The glass itself is notably clear, with the kind of transparency that allows wine, water, or juice to read well under typical restaurant lighting.
In a busy service environment, glassware takes a sustained amount of mechanical punishment — handled quickly, loaded and unloaded from dishwashers repeatedly, and stored under pressure in racks. SON.hyx crystal is engineered with this in mind. Luigi Bormioli rate these carafes to withstand up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without loss of clarity or structural integrity, which represents a meaningful service life by the standards of the category. The resistance to mechanical shock also holds up well in the kind of fast-paced clearing and resetting that characterises covers-driven service.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Retains clarity and brilliance through extended commercial dishwasher use
- Lead-free crystal — no food safety concerns in licensed or fine dining environments
- Coordinates with Atelier stemware for consistent table presentation
- Sold in packs of 6, suited to batch purchasing and stock rotation
- Lightweight enough for comfortable front-of-house handling during service
At 500ml, this carafe is well suited to covering a table of two comfortably for water service, or presenting a small wine or juice portion. It is not sized for high-volume sharing across larger covers, where a larger format carafe would be more practical.
This carafe is a sensible choice for restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and cafés that want coordinated, commercially durable table glassware without committing to a fragile or high-maintenance product. If your operation runs a high turnover of covers and needs greater carrying capacity per carafe, it is worth considering a larger format within the range.
If you are building out a full table setting or matching to existing Atelier stemware, the team are happy to talk through quantities and format options before you order.
£92.36(£110.83 inc VAT)
The Utopia Vertis bottle is a tall, slender borosilicate glass bottle with a ribbed exterior profile. At one litre capacity, it is commonly used for still or sparkling water table service, house-made cordials, infused waters, and similar front-of-house presentations where a clean, contemporary look is appropriate.
Borosilicate glass is the practical choice for a busy service environment. It is more resistant to thermal shock than standard soda-lime glass, which matters when bottles are being rinsed, chilled, and returned to the pass repeatedly throughout a shift. The material is also noticeably clearer, which presents well on a laid table.
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
- Ribbed profile improves grip for floor staff during busy service
- Consistent appearance across the set — useful for larger tables or terrace service
- Suitable for water, infusions, cordials, and cold non-carbonated drinks
These are straightforward table vessels with no lids or stoppers included. They are not designed for carbonated service under pressure, and the open neck means they work best filled to order at the pass rather than pre-poured and stored. At 213g per bottle, they are light enough for comfortable handling but have a quality feel on the table.
The Vertis bottle suits restaurants, cafés, and event venues looking for a consistent, unfussy water bottle that holds up to daily commercial use. For operations requiring a smaller carafe or a lidded option for carried service, it is worth exploring the wider range before ordering in volume.
If you are putting together a glassware package or need advice on quantities for your covers, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£119.00(£142.80 inc VAT)
These 1.5-litre handled carafes from Utopia are made from polycarbonate, giving them the appearance of glassware while offering the resilience expected of plastic serviceware. Each carafe features a handle for comfortable pouring and a generous 1,500ml capacity, making them a practical choice for table water service, juice, cordials, or other cold beverages.
In operational terms, polycarbonate carafes like these are well suited to environments where breakage is a genuine concern — outdoor events, festival catering, marquee venues, poolside service, and similar settings where glass is either prohibited or impractical. The material is stain-resistant and holds up well to repeated use across a busy service period without the attrition you would expect from glass.
Key practical points for front-of-house teams:
- Break-resistant and chip-resistant polycarbonate construction
- Glasswasher safe for straightforward turnaround between services
- Handled design supports controlled, comfortable pouring
- Supplied in a pack of six — practical for stocking in volume
- Suitable for cold beverage service across a range of hospitality settings
It is worth noting that polycarbonate is not intended for hot liquids, so these carafes are best kept to cold or ambient beverage service. They are not suitable for use in a microwave or with carbonated drinks under pressure.
These carafes are a sensible choice for event caterers, outdoor hospitality operators, and venues with high breakage risk or glass restrictions. For permanent indoor use where glass is permitted, a glass carafe range may better suit the service aesthetic.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate serviceware is the right fit for your operation, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£138.00(£165.60 inc VAT)
The Utopia Gatsby carafe is a 1.1-litre polycarbonate jug designed for serving water, wine, or soft drinks at the table. Its moulded cut-glass pattern gives it the appearance of traditional glassware, making it a practical choice for operators who want a presentable front-of-house vessel without the breakage risk that comes with real glass.
In a busy service environment, polycarbonate carafes of this type hold up well to the daily handling pressures of floor staff — drops, stacking, and repeated dishwasher cycles that would quickly damage conventional glassware. The material is resistant to staining and chipping, which helps maintain a presentable appearance over time without the need for regular replacement.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:
- Polycarbonate construction removes the breakage risk associated with glass service
- Stain-resistant surface holds up well to wine, juice, and fruit-infused water
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
- Consistent, uniform appearance across the pack suits high-volume table settings
- Lightweight build reduces the risk of staff fatigue during busy service periods
These carafes are well suited to casual dining restaurants, hotel dining rooms, pub kitchens, and outdoor or garden service areas where glass is impractical or restricted. They are sold in packs of six, which suits operators setting up a section or refreshing existing stock in quantity. If your operation has very high cover turnover or requires a larger-format vessel, it is worth considering whether a bigger capacity option in the range would better suit your service flow.
If you are unsure which carafe format or quantity is right for your covers, our team is happy to talk it through.
£16.44(£19.73 inc VAT)
These 1-litre ribbed glass jugs from Olympia are a practical choice for table water service, juice, iced drinks, or any other poured beverage in a hospitality setting. The ribbed body provides a secure grip during service, and each jug comes with a tight-fitting lid that helps prevent spillage — particularly useful in busy environments where jugs are carried across a dining room or left on tables for self-service.
Sold in a pack of six, they're well suited to mid-sized operations where multiple tables need to be served simultaneously without waiting for glassware to cycle through the wash. Being glasswasher safe, turnaround between sittings is straightforward, with no need for hand-washing.
- Ribbed body improves grip during service
- Lidded design reduces spillage risk on the floor and table
- Glasswasher safe for fast, hygienic turnaround
- Pack of six supports multi-table service without gaps in cover
- Glass construction presents well on the table without looking utilitarian
These jugs are best suited to restaurants, cafés, hotels, and similar hospitality venues running seated table service. They're a sensible choice for everyday use rather than high-end formal dining, where heavier crystal glassware may be more appropriate. For higher-volume venues requiring larger quantities or a different capacity, alternative options are available within the range.
If you're putting together a full table service package or are unsure which capacity or quantity suits your covers, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
£22.88(£27.46 inc VAT)
These glass water bottles from Olympia are a practical choice for table water service in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and similar hospitality settings. Each bottle holds one litre and comes fitted with a stopper, making them suitable for presenting still or chilled water at the table without the need for individual glasses to be refilled constantly by staff.
The bottles are made from glass, which keeps water noticeably colder than plastic alternatives and presents well in a front-of-house environment. The stopper helps maintain freshness between refills and reduces spillage risk during service. At 320mm tall, they sit comfortably on a standard dining table without being obtrusive.
- Glasswasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround during busy service
- Stopper included, helping retain freshness and reduce spillage
- Glass construction presents cleanly on the table and chills well
- Sold in a pack of six, practical for equipping a section or topping up existing stock
These bottles are well suited to smaller restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where a simple, clean table water solution is needed. They are not insulated, so for venues serving in warm environments or requiring extended chill retention, a carafe with a different thermal profile may be worth considering.
If you are unsure how many bottles you need for your covers or have questions about glasswasher compatibility with your existing equipment, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work it out.
£24.61(£29.53 inc VAT)
These glass water bottles from Olympia are a straightforward tableware solution for restaurants, cafés, and bistros that serve still or chilled water at the table. Each bottle features a swing-top stopper that seals securely, keeping water fresh between fills and eliminating the need to top up constantly during service.
In practical terms, the swing-top design supports a simple prep workflow: bottles can be filled during quieter periods and stored ready for service, so floor staff can place them on tables quickly without interrupting their flow during busy covers. This is particularly useful in establishments where water is served as standard and refills would otherwise pull staff away from the floor repeatedly.
The ridged soda lime glass construction gives each bottle a clean, understated appearance that works well across a range of table settings without being fussy. Being glasswasher safe, they can be turned around efficiently at the end of service alongside other glassware, rather than requiring hand washing.
- Prefill ahead of service to reduce floor interruptions during peak covers
- Swing-top stopper keeps water fresh and reduces spillage risk
- Glasswasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Consistent ridged profile suits casual dining and café settings
- Sold in a pack of six, covering a practical number of tables in one order
These bottles are well suited to small to mid-sized operations with table counts where a pack of six provides reasonable coverage. Larger restaurants or venues with higher turnover may want to consider ordering multiple packs to maintain availability throughout service without shortfalls at the bar or pass.
If you're unsure how many packs suit your cover count or whether this style fits your service format, we're happy to talk it through.
£93.36(£112.03 inc VAT)
The Utopia Symphony carafe is a 1-litre soda-lime glass vessel designed for water, wine, and soft drink service in restaurants, hotels, and catered venues. Machine-crafted from soda-lime glass, it carries a clarity and finish that reads as crystal to the guest without the fragility or cost that true crystal brings to a busy service environment.
In practice, these carafes hold up well on a working table service floor. Soda-lime glass is the standard choice for high-turnover hospitality settings — it balances presentation with durability and passes through a commercial dishwasher reliably. At 604g each, they have enough weight to feel substantial without being awkward to handle or pour from during a busy service period.
Key practical points for front-of-house use:
- Dishwasher-safe construction suits high-turnover table service
- Crystal-like clarity without the handling risk of true crystal
- Consistent machine-crafted finish across the pack of 24
- Suitable for water, wine, juice, and soft drink service
- Pack quantity of 24 supports full venue par stock in a single order
The pack of 24 makes this a practical choice for venues looking to standardise their carafe stock in one order. Carafes do get broken in service, so buying in a case quantity allows operators to maintain a working par level without frequent reordering. For very high-volume sites or venues with particularly demanding service conditions, it is worth considering whether a thicker-walled or more robust format might offer a lower breakage rate over time.
If you are unsure which carafe format best suits your service style or volume, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£71.24(£85.49 inc VAT)
These 1-litre carafes from Utopia's Village collection are a straightforward, well-made option for table service of wine or water. Produced from machine-made glass, they have a clean, unfussy profile that sits comfortably across a range of dining styles — from casual bistro settings to more traditional restaurant covers.
In day-to-day service, the carafes are practical to handle and easy to fill, pour from, and present at the table. The glass construction gives a clear view of the contents, which is useful when serving house wines or flavoured waters where appearance matters to the customer. At just over a kilogram when full, they are a manageable weight for front-of-house staff during a busy service.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:
- Dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround straightforward during service
- Machine-made glass offers consistent sizing across the pack, useful where uniformity matters on the table
- Sold in a pack of six, suited to stocking a section or replacing breakages in one order
- Simple profile with no unnecessary detailing, which makes cleaning quicker and reduces catch points for residue
These carafes are well suited to restaurants, cafés, and bistros running table service. For higher-volume operations requiring larger format carafes — for example, serving larger tables or banqueting — it is worth considering a higher-capacity option from the wider range.
If you are unsure whether these suit your cover count or service style, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£40.21(£48.25 inc VAT)
The Utopia Bistro Jug is a compact, rounded glass jug commonly used in cafés, bars, and casual dining restaurants for serving water, juices, or small pitchers of beer or cocktails at the table. The 0.25-litre size is well suited to individual or two-cover service, where a full-sized carafe would be excessive.
Made from toughened commercial glass with a reinforced rim, these jugs are built to handle the everyday rigours of table service — repeated handling, stacking, and frequent dishwasher cycles. The classic bistro shape is practical to grip and pour, and the straightforward design means they sit comfortably alongside most tableware styles without looking out of place.
For front-of-house teams, the key practical advantages are:
- Dishwasher safe, reducing turnaround time between services
- Reinforced rim helps resist chipping during normal use
- Compact size suits casual dining, café, and bar settings
- Uniform shape makes storage and stacking straightforward
- Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for stocking a full section
As with all glassware in commercial service, it is worth having adequate stock to cover breakages. The pack of 24 suits most small to mid-sized operations as a solid starting quantity, though higher-volume venues may prefer to hold additional stock. If you are unsure what quantity suits your service covers, the team is happy to advise.
£51.64(£61.97 inc VAT)
The Utopia Bistro jugs are straightforward, well-proportioned glass jugs designed for everyday table and counter service. The classic profile suits a wide range of front-of-house settings without drawing attention away from the overall table presentation — which, for most operators, is exactly what a service jug should do.
In practical terms, these jugs work reliably for chilled water service, iced soft drinks, or juice. The shape is easy to handle during busy service periods, and the clear glass allows both staff and guests to see at a glance when a refill is needed. Supplied in a pack of six, they suit venues that need to maintain consistent tableware across multiple covers without significant outlay.
- Clear glass construction allows quick visual stock checks during service
- Classic bistro profile works across informal dining and café settings
- Pack of six supports multi-table service without frequent restocking
- Simple shape with no unnecessary detailing for easier cleaning
- Suitable for chilled water, juices, and cold soft drinks
These jugs are best suited to cafés, bistros, casual dining restaurants, and hospitality venues looking for a dependable, unfussy option for table water or drinks service. They are not intended for hot liquids. For venues with very high cover turnover, it may be worth considering whether a larger pack quantity or a more robust construction is appropriate for the volume of handling involved.
If you are unsure how many to order for your cover count, or whether this style fits your current tableware range, feel free to get in touch — it is a straightforward conversation.
£41.71(£50.05 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Tivoli is a straightforward, well-proportioned glass jug designed for everyday service use in bars, cafés, restaurants, and catering operations. With a generous 2.3-litre capacity, each jug is well suited to table service of water, juices, iced drinks, or soft beverages, reducing the frequency of returns to the bar during a sitting.
The ice-lip spout — a slight pinch moulded into the glass at the pour point — holds back ice whilst the liquid flows freely. In practice, this keeps drinks colder for longer at the table and removes the need for separate ice strainers or additional service steps. The wide, stable base and large handle make it comfortable to carry and pour even when fully loaded.
Built from soda-lime glass to commercial catering standards, the Tivoli jug is fully dishwasher safe and robust enough for regular pass-through wash cycles. Practical operational advantages include:
- Ice-lip spout retains ice without additional straining equipment
- Wide base reduces tip risk on busy table service
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between sittings
- Stackable design saves storage space behind the bar
- Pack of six provides a practical opening quantity for most venues
A pack of six is a sensible starting point for a small to medium-sized venue. Higher-volume sites or those running multiple service areas may want to consider ordering in greater quantities to maintain enough rotation during peak periods.
If you are unsure how many jugs you need to support your service volume, or want to discuss glassware alongside a broader bar or front-of-house setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Luminarc ARC jug from Arcoroc is a straightforward, practical glass jug designed for table service of water, juice, iced drinks, and similar beverages. Made from soda lime glass, it has a traditional profile with a wide spout, a comfortable handle, and a stable base that makes it easy to handle during a busy service. The 1.6-litre capacity suits most table service scenarios comfortably, and the pack format means operators can stock a useful quantity without sourcing individual pieces.
In day-to-day hospitality use, jugs of this type get handled repeatedly — cleared, washed, refilled, and returned to tables throughout service. The soda lime construction holds up well under normal commercial conditions, and the wide-mouth design makes it straightforward to rinse and check between uses. It is fully dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround time manageable in a busy environment.
- Dishwasher safe for fast, hygienic turnaround between services
- Stable base reduces the risk of tips during table clearing
- Wide spout allows clean, drip-free pouring
- Easy-grip handle suits prolonged service use
- Pack of six provides practical stock depth for table service
This jug is well suited to restaurants, cafés, hotels, and function venues where table water or cold beverage service is a regular part of the operation. It is a reliable, unfussy choice for front-of-house use. For very high-volume operations requiring greater breakage resilience, toughened glass alternatives are worth considering.
If you are equipping a new venue or refreshing your glassware stock and would like guidance on quantities or alternative styles, the team is happy to help.

The Arcoroc Spring jug is a straightforward, well-made glass serving jug designed for table service in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and similar hospitality settings. Each jug holds one litre and comes supplied with a matching lid. The pack contains six units, making it a practical purchase for operations that need a consistent set of matching serveware across tables or service stations.
In day-to-day service, these jugs handle the routine well. The ergonomic handle gives waiting staff a secure grip when moving between the kitchen or bar and the dining room, and the wide spout pours cleanly without dribbling — a small but worthwhile detail during a busy service. The fitted lid keeps contents fresh between pours and reduces the risk of contamination when jugs are pre-filled ahead of service, which is common practice in high-turnover covers environments.
- Fitted lid protects contents and retains freshness between pours
- Ergonomic handle supports comfortable carrying during service
- Wide spout allows quick, accurate pouring without spillage
- Clear glass construction lets guests see the contents at a glance
- Suitable for water, juice, wine, and soft drink service
Being toughened Arcoroc glass, these jugs are built to withstand the handling that comes with regular commercial use — they are dishwasher safe and more resistant to thermal shock than standard domestic glassware. That said, glass jugs in active service will always require careful handling, and it is worth factoring replacement into consumables planning for high-volume sites.
These jugs are well suited to mid-size restaurants, hotel dining rooms, conference catering, and café counter service. Operations serving very high volumes from a single station may want to consider whether a larger-format jug or a polycarbonate alternative would better suit the pace of service. If you are unsure which option fits your operation, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£36.25(£43.50 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Spring jug is a straightforward, well-made glass serving jug designed for table service in cafés, restaurants, hotels, and similar hospitality settings. Each jug holds 750ml and comes with a matching lid, making it suitable for serving water, juice, or still wine directly to guests. The pack contains six jugs, which suits front-of-house operations where multiple tables need to be set simultaneously.
Arcoroc glassware is a reliable choice for commercial hospitality use. The Spring range is produced from tempered glass, which gives it reasonable resistance to the knocks and thermal changes that come with daily service — though as with all glassware, it should be handled with care and inspected regularly for chips or cracks. The ergonomic handle makes carrying comfortable for service staff, and the wide spout allows for a clean, controlled pour without spillage at the table.
The included lid is a practical addition for front-of-house use:
- Keeps contents fresh when jugs are pre-filled ahead of service
- Reduces the risk of contamination when stored briefly before table delivery
- Helps maintain a tidy presentation during table service
These jugs are best suited to sit-down hospitality environments where table water or juice service is part of the offering. For higher-volume operations or venues that put glassware through particularly heavy dishwasher cycles, it is worth considering whether a polycarbonate alternative would offer better long-term durability. If you are setting up a new venue or refreshing your service ware and want guidance on quantities or product compatibility, the team is happy to help.
£40.21(£48.25 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Spring jug is a straightforward, well-made glass serving jug designed for table service in cafés, restaurants, bistros and similar hospitality settings. At 500ml it is a practical size for serving water or juice to a small table without requiring frequent refills, and the wide pouring spout helps staff dispense drinks cleanly and with reasonable control.
In day-to-day service these jugs hold up well under regular handling. The ergonomic handle makes them comfortable to carry when full, which matters during a busy floor service when staff are moving quickly. Being supplied in a pack of twelve means there is sufficient stock to keep tables served during a full sitting without constant returns to the bar or service station.
- Wide pouring spout reduces spillage during table service
- Ergonomic handle supports confident carrying when full
- Consistent glass weight aids stability on tray and table
- Pack quantity suits a full dining room without constant restocking
- Suitable for water, juice, wine and cold soft drinks
As a glass product, these jugs are best handled with the usual care expected in a professional environment. They are not intended for hot liquids, and operators running very high-turnover covers may want to consider whether a larger format jug or a polycarbonate alternative better suits their pace of service.
These jugs are well suited to table-service restaurants, hotel dining rooms, cafés and event catering where a clean, simple glass presentation is preferred. For outlets serving very large tables or high-volume banqueting, a larger-capacity jug may reduce the frequency of refills.
If you are unsure whether this size and format is the right fit for your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£24.02(£28.82 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Spring jug is a straightforward, well-made glass serving jug designed for table use in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and similar hospitality settings. Each jug holds 750ml, making it a practical size for serving water, juice, or house wine to a table of two to four covers without constant replenishment. They are sold in a pack of six, which suits the practical reality of front-of-house service where multiples are always needed.
Arcoroc is a recognised name in commercial glassware, and the Spring range reflects the kind of durability that comes from being designed with professional use in mind rather than domestic. The glass has a clean, unfussy appearance that works across a range of table settings without looking out of place.
From a practical standpoint, these jugs offer a few clear operational advantages:
- Ergonomic handle reduces strain during repeated carrying across a service period
- Wide spout allows controlled, accurate pouring with minimal spillage
- Clear glass lets staff and guests see the fill level at a glance
- Sold in sixes, reducing the need for frequent individual replacements
- Simple shape makes washing by hand or glasswasher straightforward
These jugs are well suited to casual dining, table d'hôte service, and buffet or self-service environments. For higher-volume operations or venues where breakage rates are a significant concern, it is worth considering a more robust polycarbonate alternative. If you are unsure which style or material best fits your service style, feel free to get in touch — it is the kind of question we are happy to talk through.
£27.11(£32.53 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Spring jug is a straightforward, well-made glass serving jug commonly used in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and function venues for table service of water, juice, or wine. Sold in a pack of six, it suits operations that need a consistent, matching set for front-of-house use.
In a busy service environment, these jugs hold up well to the demands of regular handling and repeated washing. The wide pouring spout gives a clean, controlled pour without splashing, which matters when staff are working quickly at the table. The ergonomic handle makes the jug comfortable to carry even when fully loaded, reducing the chance of spillage during service.
- Wide spout for a clean, accurate pour at the table
- Ergonomic handle suited to extended service use
- Glass construction presents well on any table setting
- Pack of six supports consistent front-of-house presentation
- Sized to serve a table of four without frequent refills
From a practical standpoint, glass jugs of this type are straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial glasswasher, though care should be taken with temperature cycling to avoid thermal shock over time. As with all glassware in high-turnover environments, breakage is a factor to plan for — buying in packs helps maintain a working stock without repeat ordering.
These jugs are well suited to table service venues, hotel dining rooms, conference facilities, and café counters where a clean, classic glass presentation is preferred over plastic or acrylic alternatives. For very high-volume or outdoor settings where breakage risk is a concern, a more robust polycarbonate alternative may be worth considering.
If you're equipping a new venue or refreshing your front-of-house glassware, we're happy to help you work out the right quantities and options for your service style.
£66.54(£79.85 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Spring jug is a straightforward, well-made glass serving jug designed for table use in cafés, restaurants, bistros, and similar hospitality settings. Each jug comes with a matching lid and holds 500ml, making it a practical size for individual table service of water, juice, or wine.
In day-to-day service, these jugs hold up well under the kind of regular handling that comes with a busy dining room. The ergonomic handle gives waiting staff a secure grip when carrying multiple jugs, and the wide-mouth spout allows for a clean, controlled pour without splashing. The included lid helps retain freshness when jugs are pre-filled during set-up and protects contents from airborne contamination during service.
Practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:
- Lids allow pre-filling ahead of service, reducing pressure during peak periods
- Wide spout gives a smooth, accurate pour at the table
- Clear glass lets guests and staff see contents and fill levels at a glance
- Supplied as a pack of 12, suitable for stocking a small to medium dining room
- Arcoroc glass is designed for commercial dishwasher use, keeping turnaround times manageable
These jugs are best suited to cafés, restaurants, and hotel dining rooms where table water or juice service is part of the standard cover. For higher-volume operations or larger table capacities, it is worth considering whether a bigger pack size or a larger jug capacity would better suit your throughput.
If you are unsure which jug size or pack quantity is right for your operation, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£35.75(£42.90 inc VAT)
The Luminarc ARC jug is a straightforward, traditionally styled glass jug intended for table water and general beverage service in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and similar front-of-house environments. Made from soda lime glass, it is designed to be handled repeatedly during service without unnecessary fragility, and the shape — with a broad, stable base, easy-grip handle, and wide pouring spout — keeps it practical for floor staff to use quickly and confidently.
In a busy dining room, a jug that pours cleanly and sits securely on the table without tipping matters more than it sounds. The wide spout reduces dribbling, and the balanced weight when full means it handles well even for less experienced front-of-house staff. Supplied in a pack of twelve, it suits operators who need a consistent set across a full section or who expect a degree of natural attrition over time.
- Dishwasher safe, reducing handling time during turnaround
- Soda lime glass construction with good resistance to everyday knocks
- Clean, unbranded appearance suits most table settings
- Pack of twelve provides practical stock depth for active service
These jugs are well suited to mid-volume restaurants, café bistros, and hotel dining where a reliable, unpretentious glass jug is needed across multiple covers. For operations running very high table counts or requiring a heavier-gauge jug for more intensive service, it is worth considering whether a more robust option from a commercial range would better suit the volume.
If you are equipping a full dining room or are unsure how many packs your service requires, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work through the quantities.
£12.21(£14.65 inc VAT)
The Kilner Fresh Store Jug is a 1.2-litre borosilicate glass jug designed for table service, drink presentation, and infusions. The square-sided body allows for controlled, accurate pours, and the stainless steel lid incorporates two pouring positions — one for full flow and one suited to infused drinks where you want to hold back fruit or botanicals.
In a café or restaurant setting, this kind of jug tends to earn its keep through reliability at the table rather than behind the bar. The lid twists shut to prevent accidental spills during service, and the silicone trim gives a secure grip when pouring. Borosilicate glass handles temperature changes better than standard glass, which matters when moving between cold storage and a warm service environment.
- Square profile supports accurate, drip-free pouring at the table
- Two-position lid suits both standard drinks service and infusions
- Twist-to-close lid reduces spill risk during busy service periods
- Silicone-trimmed lid provides a secure, comfortable grip
- Borosilicate glass offers better thermal resilience than standard glass
It is worth being straightforward about the limits here: this is a service jug suited to cafés, casual dining, and hospitality settings with moderate table turnover. It is not a high-volume dispensing solution, and for sites serving large numbers in a short window, a larger-format or more robust alternative would be worth considering.
If you are putting together a drinks service range and want to check whether this fits alongside what you already have, the team is happy to help you think it through.
