Product Description
These 280ml hi ball glasses from Utopia are a toughened, nucleated tumbler designed for everyday use in licensed bars, pubs, restaurants, and hospitality venues. CE marked to confirm compliance with UK liquid measure requirements, they are supplied in packs of 48 — a practical quantity for venues managing regular glass turnover.
Toughened glass is the standard choice for commercial bar environments, and with good reason. The tempering process increases the overall strength of the glass, improving resistance to knocks and drops during a busy service. Should a glass break, it fractures into small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards, which significantly reduces the risk of injury to staff and customers. This also makes toughened glassware directly relevant to venues operating under licensing conditions that restrict or discourage the use of standard annealed glass.
The nucleated base is a practical feature for any venue serving draught beer, cider, or carbonated soft drinks. A laser-etched nucleation point on the base encourages a steady stream of bubbles, which helps maintain the head on beer and improves the visual presentation of carbonated drinks throughout service — not just when first poured.
- Toughened construction reduces breakage risk during busy service
- Safer fragment pattern when breakage does occur
- Nucleation supports consistent presentation for carbonated drinks
- CE marked for compliance with liquid measure regulations
- Pack of 48 supports practical stock rotation in bar environments
At 280ml, these glasses are well suited to standard soft drink and mixer serves, and comfortably accommodate a spirit-and-mixer presentation. They are a solid everyday working glass rather than a premium or branded serve vessel, and are priced accordingly for venues that need reliable stock at volume.
If you are unsure how many glasses to order for your operation, or whether this size is the right fit for your menu, the team is happy to help you work it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Toughened glass is widely accepted in licensed environments where standard annealed glass is restricted or discouraged, as the tempering process significantly reduces the risk of sharp shard breakage. Always confirm the specific requirements of your licence with the relevant authority, as conditions vary between premises.
- At 280ml, these glasses are well suited to soft drinks, mixers, and spirit-and-mixer serves. The nucleated base makes them a practical choice for any carbonated serve — including draught beer or cider — where maintaining the head and appearance throughout service matters.
- This depends on the size of your operation, cover counts, and how frequently you run your glasswasher during service. A useful rule of thumb is to hold at least two to three times your peak table or seat count in working glasses, accounting for glasses in use, in transit, and being washed. If you are unsure what quantity makes sense for your venue, we are happy to talk it through.
