Chef & Sommelier

The Chef & Sommelier Evidence range is a well-established choice in professional front-of-house operations. These 350ml wine glasses are made from lead-free crystal and feature a distinctive short stem with an angular bowl profile — a practical shape that stacks and handles well in busy service environments while still presenting well on the table.

In real service conditions, glassware takes considerable punishment: repeated dishwasher cycles, rapid turnaround between covers, and handling by multiple members of staff. The Evidence glasses are built with this in mind. The laser-cut, flame-polished rim gives a clean, consistent finish that holds up over time without the chipping that affects lower-grade glass. The crystal construction gives reasonable clarity and light refraction without the fragility associated with traditional fine crystal.

• Lead-free crystal construction balances durability with good visual clarity
• Short stem and angular bowl suits bistro, brasserie and bar settings
• Dishwasher safe — suitable for commercial glasswashers used in regular service
• BPA-free material, appropriate for food service environments
• Pack of 24 supports practical stock management for covers-based purchasing

These glasses are well suited to casual dining venues, wine bars, hotel bars, and catering operations where a consistent, presentable glass is needed at volume without the cost or fragility of high-end fine dining crystal. They are not aimed at fine dining operations where ultra-thin blown crystal is expected by the guest.

If you are unsure how many packs suit your cover count, or whether this style fits your service format, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The Chef & Sommelier Macaron is a sparkling wine flute with a noticeably wider, rounder bowl than a conventional straight-sided flute. It sits somewhere between a classic flute and a coupe in shape, but retains the upright stem and overall proportions that suit a formal table setting. It is made from Chef & Sommelier's Krysta crystal glass, a material chosen specifically for its optical clarity and its ability to resist the clouding and micro-scratching that affects standard glass after repeated commercial dishwasher cycles.

In any busy bar or restaurant, glassware endures a great deal — frequent machine washing, constant handling during service, and the general wear of a working environment. Krysta holds its clarity well under these conditions, meaning the glasses continue to present well throughout an extended service life rather than developing the dull, hazed appearance that cheaper glass tends to show within a season or two.

The Macaron's wider aperture makes it easier to pour accurately during a busy service, and the bowl shape gives sparkling wine service a considered quality without the carbonation-retention concerns that a full coupe can present. Supplied in a pack of 24, the quantity sits comfortably within standard par stock levels for a restaurant or bar running regular sparkling wine service.

• Krysta crystal construction maintains clarity through repeated commercial wash cycles
• Wider bowl distinguishes sparkling wine service while retaining formal stemware proportions
• Pack of 24 aligns with typical restaurant and bar par stock requirements
• Lighter stem profile suits tray service without excessive weight per cover

This glass is well suited to restaurants, hotel bars, and wine bars where sparkling wine is a consistent part of the menu and presentation standards are taken seriously. For larger event-led operations or venues with high breakage rates, it is worth considering whether a larger case quantity better suits your stock requirements.

If you are putting together or refreshing a glassware range and want to talk through what works across different service styles, the team is happy to advise.

The Chef & Sommelier Evidence flute is a lead-free crystal champagne and sparkling wine glass designed for professional front-of-house use. The distinctive short stem and angular bowl give the range a contemporary look that works well in bistro, brasserie, bar, and catering environments. Each glass is produced with a laser-cut rim that is flame-polished to a smooth finish, reducing the risk of chipping at the lip — a practical consideration in high-turnover service.

In busy hospitality settings, glassware takes considerable punishment. The Evidence range is made from a high-performance crystal glass composition that offers greater resistance to knocks and thermal stress than standard soda-lime glass, while still delivering the clarity and light refraction that presents sparkling wine well at the table. At 130g per glass, the weight sits in a practical range — substantial enough to feel well-made without being cumbersome for bar staff handling multiple glasses during service.

Key practical points for operators:

• Dishwasher safe, reducing hand-polishing time during turnaround
• BPA-free crystal glass composition
• Flame-polished, laser-cut rim for a consistent, chip-resistant edge
• Angular bowl design suits contemporary bar and bistro presentation
• Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for par-stock management

It is worth noting that crystal glass, even high-performance formulations, benefits from careful rack loading in commercial dishwashers. Overloading or direct contact between glasses during a wash cycle remains the most common cause of breakage, regardless of glass quality. For very high-volume venues cycling glassware continuously through service, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty or thicker-walled alternative would better suit the pace of your operation.

The Evidence flute is well suited to hotels, bars, bistros, brasseries, and catering contractors looking for a presentable, durable sparkling wine glass at a sensible pack price. If you are specifying glassware across a full beverage range or need guidance on quantities relative to your cover count, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.

The Chef & Sommelier Open Up tumbler is a glass all-purpose tumbler with a gently curved profile, produced for professional table service. At 380ml it sits in the mid-capacity range — large enough for a full soft drink, mixer, or spirits and ice serve, without dominating a place setting. The pack of 24 reflects the practical realities of commercial glassware supply, where breakage is routine and maintaining a consistent look across a service floor requires holding stock in meaningful quantities.

The curved form gives waiting staff a reliable grip when carrying multiples, and the proportions fit comfortably in most standard commercial glasswasher racks without requiring special configuration. The glass construction gives a clean, clear presentation appropriate for mid-range to higher-end dining and bar environments.

• Glass construction gives a quality, clear look suited to table and bar service
• Curved profile supports secure grip when carrying multiples during busy service
• Mid-capacity format works across water, soft drinks, spirits, and casual cocktails
• Consistent sizing across the pack supports uniform table presentation
• Pack of 24 covers routine breakage allowances and aids stock rotation

It is worth noting that glass requires careful handling in storage and during glasswashing — particularly around stacking pressure and thermal shock. For very high-turnover operations or environments where breakage risk is elevated, polycarbonate alternatives are worth considering instead.

This tumbler is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, bars, and function venues looking for a reliable, consistent glassware solution across table service. Sites with particularly high volume may want to consider whether a larger pack quantity would better meet their stock requirements.

If you are specifying glassware for a new opening or refurbishment and want to talk through quantities or styles within the Open Up range, the team is happy to assist.

The Chef & Sommelier Soft Open Up is a 470ml wine glass designed for commercial front-of-house use. The wide, angled bowl is shaped to encourage the wine to open and develop in the glass, which can make a noticeable difference to how a wine presents to the guest — particularly relevant when serving varieties that benefit from air contact without the need for a decanter.

In a busy service environment, consistency matters. The bowl geometry makes it practical to pour to a standard 250ml measure, helping staff maintain accuracy during peak covers without relying on guesswork. Supplied in a pack of 24, the quantity suits section stocking, opening a new outlet, or straightforward replenishment purchasing.

• Wide bowl encourages wine to open and develop without a decanter
• Bowl profile supports consistent 250ml measure pouring during service
• Clear glass suits all wine styles across formal and informal settings
• Pack of 24 is a practical quantity for section stocking or top-up orders
• Compatible with standard commercial glasswasher cycles and detergent doses

One practical consideration: the wider bowl diameter does take up slightly more space per unit in glasswasher baskets and on-shelf storage. It is worth accounting for this if your wash cycle capacity is already running tight. The glass is manufactured from soda-lime glass, so no special handling requirements apply beyond normal commercial glasswasher practice.

This glass works well for restaurants, wine bars, and hotel dining operations looking for a well-considered all-rounder. If you are equipping a larger operation or weighing up glass styles to match a specific wine list or service format, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Chef & Sommelier Lima hiball is a tall, rounded glass designed for bar and drinks service in commercial settings. Available in packs of six, these glasses are well suited to venues that need reliable, consistently presented glassware across covers rather than occasional one-off use.

Made from Kwarx — Chef & Sommelier's proprietary glass material — the Lima range is noticeably more resistant to everyday knocks, thermal cycling from dishwashers, and the general handling that comes with a working bar environment. In practical terms, this means fewer breakages over time and a longer service life compared to standard soda-lime glass. The clarity of Kwarx is also worth noting: drinks are presented cleanly, which matters for cocktails, layered long drinks, or any serve where appearance is part of the experience.

• Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between services
• Strong resistance to chips and everyday handling wear
• Excellent optical clarity for clean drink presentation
• Tall profile suitable for a wide range of long drinks and cocktails
• Consistent shape across the pack for uniform table presentation

From an operational standpoint, the dishwasher-safe construction supports quick turnaround during busy service periods without the need for hand-washing. The 450ml capacity makes these glasses versatile across soft drinks, beer, cocktails, and mocktails without being oversized.

These are well suited to restaurants, hotel bars, café bars, and similar venues with a moderate to high drinks volume. For very high-turnover venues requiring larger pack quantities or a more heavyweight specification, it is worth considering whether a larger case size would be more practical.

If you are unsure whether the Lima is the right fit for your service style or volume, our team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Chef & Sommelier Exaltation is a crystal wine glass designed specifically for serving sparkling wines in professional front-of-house settings. The bowl follows a flower bud profile — narrowing toward the rim to concentrate aromas — and sits on a flat, stable base well suited to busy table service and bar counters. Each glass is finished with a laser-cut, flame-polished lip for a clean, precise edge.

The defining feature of the Exaltation is its effervescence treatment applied to the interior base of the bowl. This nucleation point controls how bubbles form and rise, extending the visual and aromatic presentation of sparkling wine throughout the pour. For venues where the quality of the sparkling service matters — champagne lists, sparkling wine flights, celebratory occasions — this makes a practical difference to how the drink is perceived at the table.

Crafted from Krysta crystal glass, the Exaltation offers a clarity and lightness that reads well under restaurant lighting, while the material carries reasonable resistance to the mechanical stresses of commercial glasswashing when handled correctly.

• Nucleation treatment sustains effervescence and aroma release throughout service
• Laser-cut, polished rim provides a clean drinking edge
• Stable flat base suits high-turnover table and bar service
• Krysta crystal delivers strong optical clarity at a practical weight
• Flower bud bowl profile concentrates aromas toward the nose

These glasses are best suited to restaurants, hotels, and wine bars where sparkling wine features prominently on the list and presentation at the table is part of the offer. At 130g per glass, they are lighter than many crystal alternatives, which can be helpful during fast-paced service.

If you are specifying glassware for a new opening or reviewing your current sparkling service, the team is happy to discuss whether the Exaltation fits your cover count and service style.

The Chef & Sommelier Ezzo butter knife is part of the Ezzo cutlery range, characterised by its rounded handle profile and softly curved lines. Finished in 18/10 stainless steel with a 5mm gauge, the pattern has a solid feel in the hand and holds up well to the repeated handling and commercial dishwashing cycles that come with regular restaurant use. This listing covers a pack of twelve pieces.

In a table service environment, butter knives take more handling than most items on the cover — passed between courses, collected frequently, and cycled through the wash several times a day. The Ezzo's heavier gauge helps it resist the bending and warping that can affect lighter-weight patterns over time, and the 18/10 steel composition provides reliable corrosion resistance under sustained dishwasher use.

From a practical standpoint, the pattern works well where operators want a consistent, contemporary look across the table without a heavily ornate design. Key points worth noting:

• 18/10 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in commercial dishwashers
• 5mm gauge provides durability under high-frequency service use
• Rounded handle profile suits a range of cover styles from modern to understated classic
• Sold in dozens, making stock management straightforward for FOH teams

As with any cutlery investment, it is worth considering your full cover count and budgeting for adequate back-of-house float to account for losses and rotation. The Ezzo sits within a broader range, so matching pieces across courses is straightforward if you are building out a full set.

If you are unsure how many dozens to order relative to your covers, or whether this pattern fits alongside other pieces you are already using, we are happy to talk it through.

These coupe glasses from Chef & Sommelier are made from KRYSTA crystal glass, a material the brand uses across its professional ranges for its clarity and resistance to the clouding that affects standard glassware over repeated commercial wash cycles. The 210ml bowl sits on a stem of practical height, giving bar staff a secure hold during busy service without the glass feeling unwieldy.

In a busy bar or restaurant environment, glassware takes considerable punishment — repeated handling, commercial dishwasher cycles, and the occasional knock. KRYSTA is notably more resistant to micro-scratching and hazing than ordinary glass, which matters when presentation is part of the offer. The cold-cut, polished rim keeps the drinking edge fine and even, which is noticeable when serving delicate champagne or a well-built cocktail.

Practical reasons operators tend to choose this coupe style for their glassware programme include:

• Crystal-clear transparency that shows off layered or garnished drinks effectively
• Fine polished rim suited to both cocktails and champagne service
• Resistance to clouding under regular commercial dishwasher use
• A bowl shape that holds a standard cocktail measure with room for garnish
• Pack of 24 provides a workable opening stock for a small to medium bar setup

A pack of 24 is a reasonable starting quantity for a smaller venue or a dedicated cocktail menu. Higher-volume operations running multiple sittings or late-night service may want to consider a larger initial quantity to maintain cover through peak periods without running short during wash cycles.

These coupes are well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, restaurant bar programmes, and events catering where glassware presentation matters. They are not intended for draught beer service or high-throughput casual dining environments where a heavier, stackable glass would be more practical.

If you are unsure how many covers this quantity would support or whether this style fits your service concept, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Chef & Sommelier Diaz dessert fork is a clean-lined flatware piece in 18/10 stainless steel, sold in packs of twelve. It is a straightforward, well-made cutlery option for operations where consistent table presentation and daily commercial dishwashing are both facts of life.

18/10 stainless steel is the practical standard for commercial flatware. The higher nickel content gives it good resistance to rust and surface staining even under repeated exposure to the heat and detergents used in commercial warewashers. The Diaz pattern's restrained, contemporary profile means it tends to hold its appearance through regular service cycles without the finish deterioration that cheaper grades can show over time.

A few points worth considering before ordering:

• 18/10 grade performs well under daily commercial dishwasher use
• Contemporary pattern suits formal, smart-casual, and hotel dining settings
• Packs of 12 make it simple to order in line with cover counts
• Finish holds up against standard commercial warewashing chemicals
• Works alongside other pieces in the Diaz range for a cohesive table setting

This fork is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and event catering operations that want a modern aesthetic without moving into heavily decorative flatware. For very high-turnover venues placing large initial orders, or where a specific weight or balance is important to the brief, it is worth having a conversation with us before committing to quantity.

The Chef & Sommelier Open Up champagne flute is a stemmed glass designed for sparkling wine service in professional hospitality settings. The angled bowl profile is intended to allow the wine's aromas to open up more than a standard straight-sided flute would permit, while maintaining the clean, upright silhouette that reads well on a formally dressed table or a busy bar top.

Sold in a pack of 24, these flutes are a practical choice for venues that need to stock in volume and present a consistent look across the floor. Glass construction gives them the weight, clarity, and light refraction expected in table service environments, and they sit comfortably within polishing and presentation workflows common in banqueting, hotel food and beverage operations, and restaurant service.

• Angled bowl profile designed to develop sparkling wine character in the glass
• Pack of 24 supports volume stocking for events and multi-cover services
• Tall, slender profile fits standard champagne flute glassware racks and storage
• Glass material appropriate for polishing cloth presentation and formal service
• Consistent 200ml capacity aids accurate pouring and portion control at service

As with any fine-stemmed glassware, it is worth thinking about how these glasses will be washed and stored in your operation. Commercial glasswashers running short, high-temperature cycles can place stress on stems over time, so confirming compatibility with your warewashing setup before committing to volume is sensible. For very high-turnover events where breakage rates are a practical concern, a polycarbonate sparkling wine glass may be a more appropriate choice alongside this range.

These flutes are well suited to restaurants, hotel bars, banqueting teams, and catering companies that want a consistent, professional glass at a workable pack size. If you would like to talk through whether this profile and pack quantity suits your service style, we are glad to help before you place an order.

The Sensation Exalt is a stemmed wine glass from Chef & Sommelier's Sensation range, with a slim, elongated bowl that holds 410ml. It is a straightforward, well-made glass designed to present wine cleanly across a variety of service settings — from casual dining to more formal table service and private events.

In practical service use, the glass performs consistently under the lighting conditions that vary across dining rooms, bar tops, and event spaces. The slim bowl profile keeps the appearance neat throughout a shift, and the seamless construction avoids the weak join points that can appear in lower-grade pressed glassware over time. When used with appropriate glasswasher chemicals and rinse aid, the glass washes without persistent clouding — a straightforward but important consideration for venues cycling stock through multiple sittings.

• Slim bowl catches ambient light and presents wine without visual clutter
• Seamless profile reduces common breakage points found in jointed stems
• 410ml capacity suits a standard 250ml pour with comfortable headspace
• Performs consistently across table, bar, and event service environments
• Pack of 24 practical for initial stock builds or supplementing existing sets

The pack of 24 suits smaller venues and event operators building out a working set. Larger operations running high covers or regular banqueting should consider whether a single pack provides sufficient buffer stock alongside day-to-day service requirements — most high-volume sites will want to hold more than one pack to account for breakage.

If you are weighing up glass styles or working out quantities for a new opening or a large event programme, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo teaspoon is a mid-weight piece from a well-regarded French cutlery range, made from 18/10 stainless steel with a teardrop-shaped handle that tapers towards the neck. It has a clean, fluid profile that sits comfortably in a table setting without drawing attention to itself — which is generally what well-chosen cutlery should do.

In service, the 18/10 steel composition resists staining and retains its finish well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The gauge gives the piece enough substance to feel considered in the hand without tipping into unnecessarily heavy territory. It is the sort of cutlery that works consistently across a range of dining styles, from casual bistro to more formal restaurant covers.

For front-of-house teams, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Resists tarnishing and pitting through regular machine washing
• Consistent weight and finish supports a polished table presentation
• Teardrop handle shape is comfortable to hold and easy to polish
• Sold in packs of 12, making stock management and replacement straightforward

As with any cutlery purchase for a commercial operation, it is worth thinking about overall pattern continuity — mixing handle profiles across a table rarely reads well. The Lazzo range extends across multiple pieces, so building a consistent cover is achievable within the same collection.

This teaspoon is well suited to restaurants, hotels, cafés, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, presentable cutlery at a practical price point. Operators running higher covers or requiring heavier-gauge pieces may find a more substantial specification within the broader range worth considering.

If you are putting together a full cover or matching to existing Lazzo pieces already in use, the team is happy to help you work through the quantities and pattern combinations.

The Chef & Sommelier Primary tumbler is a straightforward, good-quality glass designed for everyday table use in commercial hospitality environments. At 270ml, it sits in the mid-range for tumbler capacity — large enough for a generous serve of water or a mixer, and proportionate for wine service where a smaller pour is appropriate. The pack format of 24 makes it practical for operators who need to build or replenish stock efficiently.

In a busy front-of-house setting, glassware takes a sustained amount of punishment — repeated trips through commercial glasswashers, handling by service staff under pressure, and the inevitable knocks of a busy pass or bar top. The Primary range is designed with this in mind, offering a reasonable balance of everyday durability and a clean, presentable appearance at the table.

• Suitable for water, wine, soft drinks, and mixer service
• Pack of 24 supports efficient stock replenishment
• Compatible with standard commercial glasswasher cycles
• Consistent sizing aids stacking and storage behind the bar
• Clear glass suits most table settings without clashing with décor

There are no particular installation requirements for glassware of this type, though it is worth ensuring your glasswasher programme is set appropriately for standard glass to avoid thermal stress over time. Storage space for 24 units should be factored in if cupboard or shelf space is limited.

This tumbler is well suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, hotels, and catering operations where a reliable, mid-range all-purpose glass is needed in volume. For venues requiring a more premium look or heavier-duty construction for higher-turnover service, other options in the range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure which glass format best suits your service style or volume, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef & Sommelier Primary Handcraft tumblers are a 360ml all-purpose glass suitable for water, soft drinks, cocktails, or informal dessert presentation. Made from Krysta glass — Chef & Sommelier's high-clarity, lead-free crystal alternative — they offer the visual weight and brilliance of crystal while being considerably more resistant to the knocks of daily service. The grey textured finish gives each piece a tactile, handcrafted appearance that reads well on a dressed table without requiring elaborate styling.

In a busy front-of-house environment, glassware takes a consistent battering. Krysta's composition holds up well against the thermal stresses of commercial dishwashers and resists the clouding and micro-scratching that degrades cheaper glassware over time. The textured surface also gives staff a more secure grip during clearing and service, which matters during a busy turn.

• Suitable for water, spirits, cocktails, and informal dessert service
• Krysta glass provides high clarity and resistance to chipping and clouding
• Textured exterior improves grip and reduces slip during service
• Dishwasher safe for high-volume cover turnarounds
• Mixes well with other colours in the Primary Handcraft range for a varied table presentation

These tumblers are sold in a pack of 24, which suits most opening par levels for a mid-sized dining room or bar. Sites running higher cover numbers or a fast bar operation may want to consider holding two or more packs to maintain adequate rotation through the wash cycle. The grey colourway sits well alongside neutral tableware and natural materials, but also works effectively mixed with other shades from the same range if a more layered look is intended.

If you are unsure whether this style and size suits your service style or table concept, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Chef & Sommelier Lima hiball is a commercial glassware option well suited to bar and restaurant environments where presentation matters and durability is a practical requirement. The angular profile and faceted base catch light effectively, making the glass a reasonable choice for cocktails, long drinks, sparkling beverages, and soft drinks alike.

These glasses are made from Krysta, Chef & Sommelier's extra-strong crystal material. The rim is noticeably more robust than standard crystal, which matters in a busy bar environment where glasses are handled quickly and stacked frequently. Krysta also retains its clarity through extended dishwasher use — the material is rated to maintain its brilliance over 2,000 professional dishwasher cycles, which is a meaningful consideration when assessing long-term replacement costs.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Reinforced rim reduces chip and breakage rates in high-turnover service
• Crystal clarity maintained through prolonged commercial dishwasher use
• Angular design suits contemporary bar and restaurant presentation
• Versatile enough for cocktails, mocktails, soft drinks, and water service
• Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for stocking a new bar or replacing breakages in volume

The 24-pack format suits most opening orders or top-up purchases for mid-sized venues. For high-volume sites running continuous service across multiple stations, it is worth considering whether a larger initial quantity better fits your par stock requirements.

If you are unsure how many glasses your operation needs or want to discuss glassware options across your menu, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Chef & Sommelier Lima Tubo is a hi ball glass designed for commercial bar and restaurant use. Its angular profile and faceted base give it a contemporary appearance without compromising function, making it a practical choice for operations that want a considered presentation without specialist glassware.

In a busy bar environment, glassware takes a great deal of punishment — repeated dishwasher cycles, fast turnover between services, and occasional mishandling behind the bar. The Lima Tubo is made from Krysta, Chef & Sommelier's extra-strong crystal material, which carries a reinforced rim to resist chipping under the kind of daily stress commercial glassware routinely faces. Importantly, it maintains its clarity after extended dishwasher use, which matters in operations where glass sparkle is part of the customer experience.

Practical reasons this glass suits commercial use:

• Reinforced rim reduces chip-related breakage and replacement costs
• Retains optical clarity after repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Versatile shape suits cocktails, soft drinks, mocktails, and water service
• Angular design photographs well for menu and social media use
• Supplied in a trade pack of 24, practical for stocking a full bar rail

The 400ml capacity is a standard hi ball size, suited to most long-drink and cocktail serves. It works well across restaurant dining rooms, hotel bars, and cocktail venues. For operations serving predominantly pint-measure long drinks or requiring a larger vessel, it is worth considering whether a taller or higher-capacity glass would better fit the menu.

If you are specifying glassware across a full bar opening or want guidance on quantities and styles to suit your operation, we are happy to help work through the requirements with you.

The Chef & Sommelier Primary Emerald tumblers are a 360ml all-purpose tumbler made from Krysta crystal glass — a material developed specifically for commercial hospitality use. The emerald colourway gives the glass a distinctive appearance that works well in both casual dining and more considered table settings, without the glass itself becoming a distraction from the service.

Krysta is known for retaining its clarity and finish under the repeated thermal and mechanical stress of commercial dishwashing. These tumblers are rated to withstand over 2,000 dishwasher cycles without significant loss of brilliance or structural integrity, which is a meaningful figure in a busy operation where glassware takes a considerable amount of daily handling. The rounded base and curved profile also make them comfortable to hold and reasonably stable on a tray or table surface.

In practical terms, the durability of the material reduces replacement frequency — a relevant consideration for any operation running high table turns or where breakage costs are a recurring budget line. The 360ml capacity suits water, soft drinks, and mixers, and the versatility of the format means the same glass can move across different service areas without looking out of place.

• Krysta crystal construction maintains clarity through heavy dishwasher use
• Rated for 2,000+ commercial dishwasher cycles
• Versatile 360ml capacity suits water, mixers, and soft drinks service
• Supplied in 24s, suited to stocking a section or topping up existing sets
• Distinctive emerald colour works across casual and mid-range dining settings

If you're unsure whether this capacity and style fits your current glassware range, or you're looking to coordinate across a wider table set, we're happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef & Sommelier Vigne old fashioned glass is a short, wide-based tumbler suited to spirits, cocktails, juice and water service. It is manufactured from Kwarx, a proprietary material developed by Chef & Sommelier that closely resembles the clarity and brilliance of crystal but performs considerably better under the demands of commercial use.

Where standard glassware can take on a dull, cloudy appearance after repeated machine washing, Kwarx maintains its clarity over time. For venues running high cover numbers, that means glasses continue to look presentable on the table without frequent replacement cycles — a practical consideration that affects both presentation standards and cost over time.

The Vigne design has a weighted base that sits well on the bar top and feels balanced in the hand, which matters in busy service where staff are moving quickly. The profile is straightforward and unfussy, making it at home across a range of settings from a hotel bar to a casual dining operation.

• Retains clarity and shine through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Weighted base reduces tipping risk during busy bar service
• Kwarx construction offers stronger chip and break resistance than standard glass
• Neutral, versatile design suits cocktails, spirits, soft drinks and water
• Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for initial stock or top-up ordering

If you are stocking a new venue or reviewing your current glassware programme, we are happy to talk through quantities, glass types and whether this range fits your service style.

The Chef & Sommelier Vigne old fashioned glass is a short, weighted tumbler designed for serving spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks in commercial bar and restaurant environments. Made from Kwarx — Chef & Sommelier's proprietary high-resistance glass material — it combines the appearance of fine crystal with the practical durability expected in busy hospitality settings.

Kwarx is notably resistant to the mechanical and thermal stresses that cause standard glassware to cloud, chip, or lose its clarity over time. In operations running frequent glasswasher cycles, this translates to glassware that holds its shine significantly longer than conventional alternatives, reducing the need for early replacement.

For front-of-house teams, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Retains clarity and sparkle through repeated commercial glasswasher cycles
• Weighted base provides stable handling during busy service
• Versatile format suits cocktails, spirits, juice, and water service
• Clean, classic profile works across formal and informal settings
• Supplied in a pack of 24, suited to restocking or initial par stock builds

At 200ml, the Vigne sits at the smaller end of rocks glass sizing, which suits measured spirit pours and short cocktail builds. Operations that typically serve larger format drinks with ice may want to consider whether a larger capacity glass better suits their standard serve.

The Vigne is well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, restaurant dining rooms, and casual dining operations looking for reliable everyday glassware that presents well without being fragile. For higher-volume venues or those needing a wider range of sizes, there are alternative formats worth exploring.

If you're building out a glassware par or matching styles across your drinks menu, we're happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef & Sommelier Vigne hi ball is a stemless tumbler designed for busy front-of-house use. Made from Kwarx — Chef & Sommelier's proprietary lead-free crystal alternative — the glass combines the visual clarity of crystal with substantially better resistance to the mechanical stresses of a working bar or restaurant environment.

In practice, Kwarx holds up well under repeated commercial glasswasher cycles without the rapid clouding or micro-scratching that shortens the lifespan of standard glass. The weighted base gives the glass a stable, quality feel on the table, which matters in higher-footfall settings where handling is constant and surfaces aren't always ideal.

The Vigne suits a range of service contexts — soft drinks, water, cocktails, long mixed drinks — without looking out of place in either a casual dining room or a more considered bar environment. It won't read as a premium crystal piece, but it presents well and holds its appearance over time, which is the more practical consideration in volume service.

• Kwarx construction resists chipping, clouding and scratching over repeated washes
• Weighted base improves stability during service and on bussing trays
• Versatile format suits cocktails, soft drinks and water service equally well
• Consistent clarity across the pack — suitable for open displays and back-bar shelving
• Supplied in a case of 24, appropriate for stocking a full section or bar station

For operations running multiple sittings or a high-tempo bar, it's worth considering how many covers you're turning and whether 24 pieces gives you adequate cover stock. If you're unsure what quantity or format suits your service, the team are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Chef & Sommelier Vigne hiball is a stemless glass designed for everyday commercial service. Made from Kwarx — Chef & Sommelier's proprietary lead-free crystal material — it offers the clarity and brightness of traditional crystal alongside considerably better resistance to the mechanical stresses of a busy bar or restaurant environment.

In practice, Kwarx holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without the clouding and micro-scratching that affects standard glass over time. The weighted base gives the glass stability on the pass and reduces the likelihood of knocks during busy service, which is a practical consideration in any high-turnover operation.

The Vigne suits a broad range of service applications:

• Cocktails and mixed drinks where presentation matters
• Soft drinks, juices, and mocktail service
• Water service across casual dining and fine dining settings
• Branded beverage service in hotels and bars

The traditional straight-sided hiball profile keeps glassware management straightforward — glasses stack predictably, are easy to handle at speed, and fit standard glass racks without issue. Supplied in a pack of 24, the quantity is practical for operators stocking or replenishing a full bar set.

This glass is well suited to restaurants, hotels, bars, and casual dining operations that want a reliable, commercially durable hiball without moving into specialist or heavily styled glassware. Operations with very high breakage rates or particularly rough handling environments may want to consider a more entry-level, thicker-walled option instead.

If you're unsure whether this glass suits your service style or you're specifying glassware across multiple categories, the team is happy to talk it through.

These tumblers are part of Chef & Sommelier's Primary Colour collection — a range designed around contemporary hospitality environments where presentation is as important as practicality. The matte black finish gives a clean, modern aesthetic that works equally well on a restaurant table, a bar counter, or a buffet setup. The organic curved profile, flat base and flame-polished rim are practical design choices as much as aesthetic ones, supporting stable stacking and comfortable handling during a busy service.

The tumblers are made from Krysta, Chef & Sommelier's own high-clarity, impact-resistant glass material. The key operational advantage here is durability through repeated glasswasher cycles — the matte black decoration is engineered to withstand sustained commercial dishwashing without fading or degrading, which matters when a glassware item is going through the machine multiple times per shift across months of service.

For operators, the practical strengths of this range include:

• Matte black finish that holds up through sustained commercial glasswashing
• Flame-polished rim reduces chipping risk under regular handling
• Flat stable base suited to tray service and bar counter use
• Krysta construction gives better clarity and durability than standard glass
• Pack of 24 provides a practical opening quantity for most table settings

These are straightforward, no-installation glassware — no power, water connections or ventilation considerations apply. Storage space and breakage allowance are the main practical factors to plan for, as with any commercial glassware programme.

Well suited to restaurants, bars, hotels and event caterers looking for a consistent matte black glass across water, soft drinks or candle votive use. For operations with particularly high turnaround or breakage rates, it is worth considering whether a larger opening stock quantity makes more sense.

The Chef & Sommelier Primary Handcraft tumblers are made from Krysta glass — a high-clarity, lead-free crystal alternative that is noticeably more resistant to the knocks and thermal stress of busy commercial service than standard glassware. The blue textured finish is applied as a triple-treatment process, giving each glass a consistent, tactile surface that holds its appearance over repeated wash cycles.

In a front-of-house setting, these tumblers work across several uses: water and soft drinks service, signature cocktails or mocktails, and cold dessert presentation. The textured finish also makes them a practical choice as votive candle holders on dressed tables. They mix well with other colours in the Primary Handcraft range, which gives operators some flexibility in how they style their tabletop without committing to a single look.

Practically speaking, the Krysta glass composition handles commercial dishwasher cycles reliably without the clouding or micro-scratching that affects cheaper glassware over time. For high-turnover venues, that durability matters — glassware that stays clear and chip-free for longer reduces the frequency and cost of replacement.

These are sold in a pack of 24, which suits most venues looking to build or replenish a working set. For larger operations running multiple sittings or banqueting events, it is worth considering whether a larger initial quantity is more practical than ordering in smaller batches.

If you are specifying glassware across a full venue or want to discuss quantities and mix-and-match options within the Primary Handcraft range, the team is happy to help you plan an order that works for your service style.

The Chef & Sommelier Primary White Matt Tumblers are part of the brand's Primary Colour collection. Each tumbler is made from Krysta — Chef & Sommelier's own high-clarity, high-resistance glass formula — finished with a contemporary matte white exterior. The curved silhouette, stable flat base, and flame-polished rim give the glass a clean, modern profile suitable for water, soft drinks, juice, or use as a compact votive holder.

In a commercial setting, durability is the practical consideration that matters most with glassware of this kind. Krysta is rated to withstand over 2,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without degradation to the matte finish or the glass body itself. That makes these tumblers a reasonable long-term investment for high-turnover operations rather than a consumable that needs frequent replacement.

These tumblers are well suited to:

• Table-service restaurants looking for a consistent, understated aesthetic
• Hotel dining rooms and bar counters with a modern or minimalist brief
• Cafés and casual dining venues serving water and soft drinks at volume
• Operators wanting a reliable glassware line that holds up in a commercial glasswasher

The 24-unit pack format suits opening orders or topping up an existing set. For very high-volume operations where breakage rates are a significant factor, it is worth considering whether a fully tempered tumbler range might better suit your throughput — though the Krysta construction here is above average for this category.

If you are specifying glassware across a new opening or refurbishment and want to talk through quantities or suitability for your service style, the team is happy to help.

The Chef & Sommelier Primary Handcraft tumbler is a mid-sized all-purpose glass finished in a distinctive red textured coating. Made from Krysta — Chef & Sommelier's own high-clarity, high-durability glass composition — the pieces combine everyday practicality with a considered aesthetic that works across casual dining, bar service, and event settings.

In operational terms, Krysta glass is well regarded for its resistance to the repeated thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers, holding clarity and finish longer than standard soda-lime glass under heavy daily use. The textured exterior gives a confident grip in service, which matters during busy covers when staff are moving quickly.

These tumblers are commonly used for still and sparkling water, soft drinks, and cocktail service. The red finish also lends itself to styled table presentations — including dessert or canape service — and they mix naturally with other colours in the Primary Handcraft range for operators who want visual variety across the table without switching suppliers.

• Dishwasher safe — suitable for high-cycle commercial machines
• Textured grip finish reduces slip risk during service
• Krysta glass maintains clarity under repeated commercial washing
• Versatile format suits drinks service, dessert presentation, and table styling
• Sold in a pack of 24, practical for stocking a full section

Supplied in a pack of 24, the quantity is practical for a bar section or dining room refresh without over-ordering. If you're stocking a larger venue or need to coordinate across multiple glass formats, our team is happy to help you work out the right quantities and combinations.

The Chef & Sommelier Cabernet stemmed glasses are a multipurpose glassware option built specifically for professional hospitality use. Made from Krysta, a lead-free crystal material developed by Arc International, they offer the clarity and brilliance of traditional crystal without the fragility or regulatory concerns around lead content. The wide bowl shape supports a range of drink styles — white and red wine, sparkling wine, and certain craft beers — making them a practical choice where operators want to consolidate their glassware range without compromising the guest experience.

In a busy service environment, durability and consistency matter as much as aesthetics. These glasses are designed to withstand the repeated thermal and mechanical stress of commercial glasswashers, maintaining their clarity and structural integrity over extended use. The Sheer Rim profile — a finer edge than standard commercial glassware — holds up in regular machine washing without the chipping issues sometimes seen with lesser stemware, though reasonable handling care in high-volume operations remains important.

• Krysta material resists clouding and retains transparency after heavy repeated washing
• Sheer Rim design improves the drinking experience without sacrificing durability
• Wide bowl works across wine styles and certain premium beer formats
• Lead-free crystal meets current hospitality and food safety standards
• Supplied in a 24-pack quantity suited to restaurant, bar, or hotel F&B operations

These glasses are well suited to mid-to-high-end restaurants, wine bars, boutique hotels, and event caterers where presentation standards are expected but glassware is handled at volume. They are less appropriate for high-turnover venues where stemmed glassware is a consistent breakage liability. For operations requiring a heavier-duty or more cost-tolerant glassware solution, alternative formats are worth considering.

If you are specifying glassware across a new opening or want to discuss volume requirements or mixing bowl formats, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef & Sommelier Cabernet stemmed beer glasses are designed for professional bar and restaurant use, where both presentation and durability matter. Made from Krysta, a lead-free crystal material developed by Chef & Sommelier, they offer the clarity and weight of fine crystal without the fragility that often comes with it.

In a busy service environment, glassware takes a considerable amount of punishment — repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, handling under pressure, and the general wear of a working bar. These glasses are engineered to hold up under that routine. The Krysta material resists clouding and surface scratching that tends to degrade standard glassware over time, which means they stay visually presentable far longer than typical commercial options.

The wide bowl shape is well suited to craft beers and lagers where aroma and appearance are part of the serving experience. The thin Sheer Rim finish, rather than being a purely aesthetic feature, makes a practical difference to how a drink is received by the guest — a fine rim reduces the intrusion between glass and palate in a way that a thick-rolled edge cannot. Key practical points for operations:

• Krysta material maintains clarity through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Stemmed design supports formal beer service in gastropubs and restaurants
• Wide bowl promotes aroma development for craft and speciality beers
• Sheer Rim technology provides a refined drinking experience
• Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for stocking a bar section

These glasses are a sensible choice for gastropubs, hotel bars, craft beer venues, and restaurants serving beer as a considered part of the drinks menu. They are less suited to high-turnover, casual environments where glassware losses and breakages are very high — standard tempered pint glasses would be a more cost-effective fit there.

If you are fitting out a new bar or want to discuss quantities and glass types for your operation, the team are happy to help you work through what makes sense.

The Chef & Sommelier Sequence is a stemmed, tulip-profile glass designed to work across multiple drink types — wine, beer, and soft drinks alike. Made from Krysta, Chef & Sommelier's lead-free crystal material, each glass has a flame-polished finish and a laser-cut rim that gives a clean, precise edge without the need for additional polishing from the machine. The 470ml capacity sits comfortably across both wine service and draught beer pours.

In a busy service environment, glassware takes a great deal of punishment. Krysta is notably harder-wearing than standard soda-lime glass and holds its clarity through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without the clouding or micro-scratching that tends to shorten the lifespan of cheaper stock. The tulip form concentrates aromas well enough to suit wine and craft beer service, while the proportioned stem keeps the glass stable on tightly set covers.

Practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:

• Multi-purpose profile reduces the number of glass types needed on the floor
• Laser-cut rim reduces chipping at the mouth — the most common point of failure
• Clear Krysta material maintains presentation quality through heavy wash cycles
• Stemmed format handles cleanly and stacks consistently in glasswashers
• Pack of 24 provides a practical opening quantity for bar or table stock

These glasses are well suited to restaurants, wine bars, gastropubs, and banqueting operations that want a single glass to cover multiple service requirements without compromising on presentation. For venues running very high covers or needing greater par stock, it is worth considering a larger case quantity.

If you are unsure whether this glass suits your service style or dishwasher configuration, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Chef & Sommelier Sequence range is a stemmed tulip-style beer glass designed for commercial food service environments where drink presentation matters. Made from Krysta, Chef & Sommelier's lead-free crystal glass material, each glass carries a flame-polished finish and a laser-cut rim, giving it the clarity and fineness associated with crystal without the fragility of traditional leaded glass.

In a busy service environment, glassware takes a great deal of punishment. Krysta is notably harder-wearing than standard soda-lime glass and resists the clouding and micro-scratching that comes with repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. For bar and restaurant operators, this translates into a longer useful life per glass and a lower replacement rate over time.

• Tulip profile concentrates aroma, well suited to craft ales, wheat beers and lagers
• Stemmed base keeps hand warmth away from the drink
• Laser-cut rim delivers a clean, comfortable drinking edge
• Krysta construction resists clouding through repeated dishwasher cycles
• Sold in cases of 24, practical for par stock management

The stemmed format works well on table service where presentation is part of the guest experience — restaurants, hotel bars, and event catering are typical settings. It is less suited to high-turnover wet bars where a handled or unstemmed glass may be more practical from a breakage and storage perspective.
