The Luigi Bormioli Jazz hi-ball is a faceted crystal glass designed for high-volume beverage service. Made from SON.hyx crystal — Luigi Bormioli's proprietary glass formula — it offers the visual clarity and brilliance of traditional crystal with significantly greater resistance to the everyday knocks and handling that come with busy bar and restaurant environments.
In practice, these glasses hold up well under continuous service conditions. The reinforced rim is a meaningful advantage in commercial settings, where rim chips are one of the most common causes of glass wastage. The construction is also engineered to withstand repeated dishwasher cycles without losing clarity or sparkle, which matters in venues running multiple wash cycles per shift.
Key practical advantages for operators include:
- Stronger rim construction — reduces chipping and replacement frequency
- Lightweight despite crystal-quality clarity — easier for staff to handle at pace
- Dishwasher-safe and built to retain appearance through sustained commercial use
- Faceted design suits a range of beverages from soft drinks to cocktails
- Sold in a 24-pack — a practical quantity for restocking or opening orders
These glasses are well suited to hotels, restaurants, bars, and casual dining operations where presentation matters but so does durability. They work equally well behind a busy pub bar as they do in a more formal dining setting. For very high-turnover operations running multiple sittings daily, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would better suit your restocking needs.
If you are unsure how these fit alongside your existing glassware range or want to discuss quantities, our team is happy to help you work it out.
£18.03(£21.64 inc VAT)
The Olympia Alma is a 400ml hi-ball glass with an embossed cut-glass texture and a traditional profile. It is a straightforward, practical choice for bars and restaurants serving long drinks, cocktails, and soft beverages. Supplied in packs of six, it suits establishments that need to maintain a consistent glassware presentation without significant per-unit cost.
In a working bar environment, the textured body gives good grip during busy service periods, which is a practical consideration when staff are moving quickly. The traditional styling sits comfortably in a broad range of settings — from pub bars to casual dining rooms — without looking out of place or overly themed.
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between services
- Textured body aids grip during fast-paced service
- Traditional cut-glass aesthetic suits a wide range of venue styles
- Pack-of-six format simplifies stock management and reordering
- Consistent sizing supports reliable portioning for measured drinks
As with all glassware in commercial use, handling and storage practices will have a significant bearing on breakage rates. The Alma is glass rather than tempered or polycarbonate, so it is not suited to high-risk environments such as outdoor service, poolside use, or venues with licensing conditions that require toughened glassware.
This glass is well suited to casual dining restaurants, cocktail bars, and hotel food and beverage operations looking for an affordable hi-ball with a degree of decorative detail. For venues requiring a plainer profile or a larger format, other options within the range are worth considering.
If you are building out glassware sets across multiple covers or matching to an existing range, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£35.75(£42.90 inc VAT)
The Arcoroc Islande is a straight-sided hi ball glass in a 360ml capacity, supplied in a pack of 24. It is a practical, no-frills format that works across a wide range of long drinks — from soft drinks and juices through to cocktails and mixed spirits service.
Arcoroc glassware is produced for commercial use and is designed to withstand the repeated thermal and mechanical stresses of professional glasswasher cycles. The Islande profile is balanced and stackable, which helps with storage behind the bar and reduces breakage risk during handling at pace.
- Glasswasher safe for high-cycle commercial use
- Straight-sided profile is practical to handle and easy to store
- Consistent 360ml capacity suits standard long drink and mixer measures
- Pack of 24 provides a practical opening stock quantity for most venues
- Suitable for bars, restaurants, hotels, and event catering
Being glass rather than polycarbonate, these are best suited to counter or table service environments rather than outdoor or unsupervised settings where breakage risk is higher. For high-attrition venues or outdoor events, a polycarbonate alternative may be worth considering.
If you are sizing up glassware quantities for an opening or refurbishment and want to talk through par levels or pack volumes, the team is happy to help.
£8.85(£10.62 inc VAT)
The Olympia Orleans Hi Ball is a 285ml panelled glass made from toughened glass, sold in a pack of twelve. The classic panel detailing gives it a traditional bar appearance that sits comfortably in pub, hotel, and restaurant settings without looking out of place alongside more contemporary glassware.
Toughened glass is the practical choice for any site where glasses are handled at volume. It is more resistant to thermal shock than standard glass, which matters when glasses move repeatedly between glasswashers, cold storage, and warm service environments. That resilience also means fewer breakages during day-to-day handling, which has a direct effect on replacement costs over time.
- Toughened construction for improved durability under regular commercial use
- Glasswasher safe — suitable for continuous high-temperature wash cycles
- Classic panelled profile suits traditional and casual dining settings
- Sold in a pack of twelve, practical for initial stocking or top-up orders
- Compact footprint suits standard bar glass storage and tray service
At 285ml, this glass sits at the lower end of the hi ball range, making it appropriate for shorter mixed drinks, soft drinks, or juice service where a fuller 350ml or 400ml glass would feel oversized. For operations serving longer drinks or larger pour standards, it is worth checking whether a higher-capacity hi ball would better match your menu.
If you are unsure how many covers this pack quantity suits, or whether this size is the right match for your drinks menu, we are happy to help you work through it.
£28.10(£33.72 inc VAT)
The Onis Hobstar hi-ball glass is a 350ml tumbler designed for cocktails, long drinks, and soft serves in bar and restaurant settings. The cut-glass pattern draws on a classic retro aesthetic, giving the glass a more considered, premium feel than a plain-sided tumbler without crossing into overly formal territory.
In a working bar environment, glassware takes punishment — repeated cycles through commercial dishwashers, handling at pace during busy service, and occasional knocks on hard surfaces. The Hobstar range is built with this in mind. The construction holds up well to regular machine washing, and the pattern itself helps mask minor surface wear that accumulates over time in high-turnover operations.
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround during service
- Cut-glass pattern suits both cocktail and soft drink presentation
- 350ml capacity works across a range of long-drink serves
- Retro styling fits casual dining, pub, and bar environments
- Sold in a pack of 6, practical for stocking up or topping out an existing set
Being glass rather than polycarbonate, these are suited to table service, bar counters, and indoor environments where breakage risk is managed. They are not designed for outdoor or poolside use where shatter risk is a consideration. The pack of six is a sensible quantity for a secondary set or for operators filling gaps in an existing Hobstar collection.
These glasses suit bars, casual dining venues, and café-bars where presentation matters but practicality cannot be compromised. If you are equipping a high-volume site and need to work out quantities or explore matching pieces in the Hobstar range, we are happy to help you think it through.
£52.64(£63.17 inc VAT)
The Schott Zwiesel Belfesta hi ball glass is a contemporary crystal tumbler designed for professional front-of-house use. Made from Tritan crystal — Schott Zwiesel's proprietary material — it combines the clarity and weight of traditional crystal with considerably better resistance to the thermal and mechanical stresses of commercial dishwashing cycles.
In busy bar and restaurant environments, glassware takes a great deal of punishment. The Tritan composition helps the Belfesta resist chipping and clouding over time, which is a common failure point with standard crystal in high-throughput operations. The result is glassware that holds its appearance through repeated service and warewashing without needing to be handled as delicately as conventional fine crystal.
- Tritan crystal construction — resistant to chipping, clouding, and dishwasher wear
- Clean, contemporary profile suited to cocktails, long drinks, and soft beverages
- Consistent clarity and brilliance throughout the service life of the glass
- Supplied in packs of six, practical for topping up existing cover counts
- Well suited to fine dining, hotel bars, and quality casual dining settings
These glasses are sold in packs of six, which works well for incremental stock building or replacing breakages without committing to a full case. For higher-volume openings or new venue fits where larger quantities are needed from the outset, it is worth considering whether a larger pack size would be more cost-effective.
The Belfesta range is best suited to operations where glassware presentation is important — restaurant dining rooms, hotel bars, private dining, and cocktail venues. It is not the right choice where budget durability outweighs aesthetics, but for settings where the glass itself contributes to the guest experience, it performs consistently.
If you are fitting out a new venue or building a glassware spec and would like a steer on quantities or range options, we are happy to help.
£20.40(£24.48 inc VAT)
The Olympia Baroque hi ball is a 395ml clear glass with an embossed cut-glass effect pattern and a notably thick, heavy base. It sits within Olympia's Baroque collection, which draws on traditional glassware styling to give bars and restaurants a more considered, characterful look on the table or counter.
In a service environment, the substantial weight and thick construction of this glass makes it practical as well as presentable. Heavier glassware tends to feel more deliberate in the hand, which suits venues where the drinking experience is part of the offer — cocktail bars, hotel bars, independent restaurants, or gastropubs. The embossed pattern also helps disguise minor surface scuffing that accumulates with regular commercial use, meaning the glasses maintain their appearance over a longer service life than plainer alternatives.
- Glasswasher safe, reducing handling time during turnaround
- Thick construction offers reasonable resistance to minor knocks in busy service
- Consistent 395ml capacity suits standard hi ball and long drink portions
- Sold in boxes of six, practical for topping up existing stock
As with all glassware of this style, the embossed surface requires a little more attention during manual cleaning to ensure residue doesn't build up in the pattern. In high-volume venues running multiple glasswasher cycles per service, commercial-grade glasswasher chemistry is advisable to maintain clarity over time.
This glass is well suited to independent bars, restaurants, and hotel food and beverage operations looking to add some visual character to their glassware range without significant investment. It is sold in boxes of six, which is worth factoring in when calculating par levels for your bar setup. If you're unsure how many boxes to order for your cover count or service volume, the team is happy to help you work that out.
£60.58(£72.70 inc VAT)
The Onis LinQ Hi Ball Glass is a 290ml stackable glass finished in a smoked grey colourway. It is part of the LinQ range from Onis, designed to balance a considered aesthetic with the practical demands of commercial bar and hospitality service.
These glasses are treated with Onis's Xtratuff process, which improves resistance to both thermal and mechanical shock — the two most common causes of glass breakage in busy service environments. That resilience matters in high-throughput bars and restaurants where glasses are regularly moving through commercial dishwashers and being handled quickly during service.
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint behind the bar
- Xtratuff treatment improves resistance to chipping and thermal stress
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between services
- Smoked grey finish suits contemporary bar and restaurant aesthetics
- Sold in a pack of 12, practical for building or replenishing stock
At 290ml, the capacity is suited to standard hi-ball serves — spirits with mixers, soft drinks, or iced beverages. The proportions work well for venues where a consistent, neat presentation matters without the glass overwhelming the serve.
These are straightforward to incorporate into an existing glassware programme. There are no special handling or storage requirements beyond standard commercial glassware practice. If your operation runs through particularly high volumes of glassware or you need a larger capacity hi-ball, it is worth considering whether a higher-volume pack size or a different capacity within the range better fits your throughput.
If you are unsure which glass suits your menu or service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£80.74(£96.89 inc VAT)
These Utopia hi ball glasses are made from fully toughened glass, meaning the material has been strengthened throughout the entire body rather than just at the rim or base. At 340ml, the capacity sits comfortably in the standard range for soft drinks, mixers, and long cocktails, making them a practical everyday choice for bar and front-of-house service.
Toughened glassware is built to withstand the knocks of a busy service — drops onto bar tops, contact with other glasses on trays, and the general handling that comes with high-volume operations. When toughened glass does fail, it breaks into small, blunt fragments rather than sharp shards, which significantly reduces the risk of serious injury to staff and customers. This makes them a sound choice for licensed premises where glass safety is either a condition of licence or a management priority.
- Suitable for soft drinks, cocktails, and mixer service
- Toughened construction reduces breakage frequency and injury risk
- Consistent 340ml capacity supports accurate portioning and pouring
- Pack of 48 suits initial bar set-ups or ongoing replacement stock
There are no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard glassware practice. As with all glassware, they should be kept away from extreme temperature changes — placing cold glasses directly into a glasswasher on a very hot cycle will shorten their lifespan regardless of toughening. Stacking within reason is fine, but high stacks increase the risk of rim chips over time.
These glasses are well suited to pubs, bars, casual dining venues, and event catering operations running a steady volume of drinks service. For very high-throughput venues with significant breakage rates, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or polycarbonate option would better suit the operation.
If you are unsure whether this glass suits your venue's licence conditions or service style, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk it through.
£14.85(£17.82 inc VAT)
The Olympia Orleans Hi Ball is a 425ml panelled glass designed for everyday front-of-house use in pubs, bars, restaurants, and hotels. The classic vertical panel detailing gives it a traditional appearance that sits comfortably across a wide range of drink presentations, from soft drinks and juices to long cocktails and beer service.
These glasses are made from toughened glass, which means they are more resistant to the knocks and stresses of a busy service environment than standard glassware. Toughening also makes them safer in the event of breakage, as they are less likely to produce large sharp shards. Sold in packs of twelve, they are a practical choice for operators who need to maintain a working stock without gaps in cover during peak service.
A few points worth noting for day-to-day operation:
- Glasswasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround during service
- Toughened construction offers better resistance to thermal and mechanical stress
- Classic panelled profile suits a broad range of drink styles and menu formats
- Pack of 12 provides a practical working quantity for most bar setups
- 425ml capacity suits standard long-drink and hi-ball serves
These glasses are well suited to high-turnover bar environments where durability and wash cycle compatibility matter. They are a sensible choice for operators who want a reliable, presentable glass without unnecessary complexity. If you are stocking a larger venue or need guidance on quantities relative to your expected covers, feel free to get in touch and we can help you think it through.
£43.00(£51.60 inc VAT)
These 240ml hi ball glasses from Utopia are a straightforward, practical choice for bars, restaurants, cafés, and hospitality venues that need a reliable everyday glass for a broad range of drinks. The classic hi ball profile suits soft drinks, juices, cocktails, and mixed drinks equally well, making them a versatile option for sites that don't want to manage multiple glass styles for different serves.
In a busy service environment, glassware takes a great deal of handling. These glasses are dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround quick and reduces the manual effort on the wash-up side during peak periods. Supplied in a pack of 48, the quantity is practical for venues that need to cover a full section or want to build a working stock that allows for breakages without disrupting service.
- Dishwasher safe for efficient, high-turnover cleaning
- Classic hi ball shape suits a wide range of drink types
- Pack of 48 provides practical working stock for busy sites
- 240ml capacity suits standard serves across soft drinks and cocktails
- Simple, clean profile works across casual and more formal settings
For smaller operations or venues just topping up existing stock, a smaller pack size may be more appropriate. Equally, higher-volume sites — busy cocktail bars or large restaurant groups — may want to consider sourcing in greater quantities to reduce per-unit cost and maintain adequate cover.
If you're unsure how many glasses you need to cover your service comfortably, or want to discuss glassware options across different categories, the team is happy to help you work it through.
£17.56(£21.07 inc VAT)
The Onis Envy hi-ball is a 380ml beverage glass designed for everyday front-of-house use. It sits within Onis's Envy collection — a range built around a clean, contemporary profile with a fine rim and a weighted base that gives the glass a stable, quality feel in the hand.
In a busy bar or dining environment, glassware takes considerable punishment. The Envy hi-ball is designed with a thicker base to absorb the knocks that come with high-turnover service, and the fine rim finish gives a cleaner drinking experience than many entry-level hi-balls. The proportions make it a practical choice for soft drinks, water service, and long cocktails alike.
- Fine rim for a cleaner drinking experience
- Thick base reduces breakage risk during busy service
- Dishwasher safe for efficient glass turnaround
- Versatile format suits water, soft drinks, and cocktails
- Backed by the Onis Rim Guarantee for added peace of mind
These glasses are dishwasher safe, which matters in any operation where glass throughput needs to keep pace with service. The pack of six is a reasonable quantity for smaller operations or for topping up an existing set; larger venues will likely want to order multiple packs to maintain adequate cover through a service period.
The Envy hi-ball is well suited to casual dining restaurants, hotel bars, and café operations looking for a reliable, presentable glass at a sensible price point. For venues with very high glass turnover or specific stemware requirements, it is worth discussing whether a different format or pack size would serve better.
If you are building out a glassware range or are unsure how many covers a given pack quantity will support, the team is happy to talk it through.
£37.74(£45.29 inc VAT)
The Utopia Caledonian tall hi ball glass is a straightforward, well-proportioned 280ml tumbler suited to everyday bar and table service. CE marked to confirm the stated measure, it sits within Utopia's broader Caledonian range — a practical collection covering the tumbler sizes most commonly called upon in commercial hospitality settings.
In service, these glasses handle the kind of volume a busy bar or restaurant generates without issue. The weighted pentagon base gives them a lower centre of gravity than a standard thin-based tumbler, which helps reduce spillages on trays and at the table — a small detail that matters when staff are moving quickly during a busy service period. At 360g each, they have enough substance to feel considered in the hand without being unnecessarily heavy to handle in quantity.
Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- CE marked at 280ml for accurate serve compliance
- Pentagon base improves stability and reduces breakage risk
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround during service
- Versatile profile suits long drinks, beer, spirits, and water service
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for initial stocking or topping up existing sets
There are no installation requirements to consider. Storage space for glassware stock is the main practical consideration — at 137mm tall, these stack efficiently on standard bar shelving. For operations running high covers or multiple sittings, it is worth calculating par levels carefully; a single pack of 12 may suit a small café or supplementary stock order, but a higher-volume venue will typically require several packs to maintain a working float through a full service.
These glasses are well suited to pubs, bars, casual dining restaurants, hotel food and beverage operations, and staff restaurants. They are a reliable everyday tumbler rather than a premium crystal piece, which makes them a sensible choice where a balance of durability and presentation is needed. If your operation requires a larger format hi ball for specific serves, other sizes are available within the Caledonian range.
If you are unsure how many packs you need to cover your service volume or want to discuss glassware across a wider project, the team is happy to help you work it through.
£68.53(£82.24 inc VAT)
The Utopia Casablanca Hi Ball is a fully toughened beverage glass in a straightforward, classic shape suited to everyday bar and hospitality use. With a 280ml capacity, it sits comfortably in the standard hi ball range — generous enough for long drinks served over ice, without being oversized.
Toughened glass construction makes a practical difference in a busy service environment. These glasses are built to handle the routine stresses of commercial use — repeated glasswasher cycles, stacking, and the general wear of a working bar — with a lower breakage rate than standard annealed glass. That translates directly into fewer replacements and lower ongoing cost per cover.
- Fully toughened for reduced breakage in commercial use
- Glasswasher safe for efficient turnaround during service
- Classic hi ball profile works across a wide range of long drinks
- Pack of 48 provides a practical opening stock or top-up quantity
- Clear glass suits most bar and table settings without visual conflict
As with any glassware programme, it's worth considering your glasswasher cycle time and table turnover rate when deciding on par stock. A pack of 48 is a solid starting point for smaller venues or as a supplementary order for larger operations. Sites running high-volume service may want to consider ordering in greater quantity to maintain comfortable cover through peak periods.
If you'd like to talk through glass quantities relative to your service volume, or check suitability alongside your existing glasswasher setup, we're happy to help you work it out before you order.
£165.00(£198.00 inc VAT)
The glassFORever Collins Stacker hi-ball glasses are polycarbonate alternatives to conventional glassware, designed for commercial bar and hospitality environments where breakage is a recurring cost and a safety concern. Each glass holds 355ml and is made from polycarbonate — a material that closely replicates the look and feel of real glass while being virtually unbreakable under normal service conditions.
In a busy bar or event setting, polycarbonate drinkware earns its place quickly. Dropped glasses don't shatter, spills don't scatter broken shards across a service area, and staff can handle trays more confidently during peak periods. The stacking design — using an internal ledge — means glasses nest securely without jamming, which keeps storage tidy and speeds up restocking between services.
From an operational standpoint, these glasses offer several practical advantages:
- Stackable profile reduces storage footprint behind the bar
- Polycarbonate construction eliminates breakage costs and injury risk
- Crystal-clear clarity maintains a presentable look throughout service
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
- Sold in a pack of 24, providing a useful working quantity from a single order
Being dishwasher safe is a meaningful practical point — polycarbonate drinkware needs to be cycled correctly to maintain clarity over time, and these glasses are rated for repeated commercial dishwasher use. The solid base helps with stability when glasses are set down on bar tops or trays.
These glasses are well suited to outdoor venues, poolside bars, events catering, sports clubs, and any environment where glass is prohibited or where the cost of breakage is disproportionate to service volumes. They are less commonly chosen for fine-dining settings where the weight and feel of real glass is part of the customer experience.
If you're unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right choice for your venue's service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£49.65(£59.58 inc VAT)
These 280ml toughened hi ball glasses from Utopia are a practical, everyday working glass suited to bars, pubs, restaurants, and licensed venues. CE marked to confirm compliance with UK measures legislation, they cover the standard serve sizes commonly required across licensed premises.
Toughened glass is manufactured through a controlled thermal process that significantly increases resistance to impact compared with standard annealed glass. In a busy service environment where glasses are handled repeatedly, stacked, washed commercially, and occasionally knocked, that additional resilience makes a practical difference to breakage rates and overall glass stock longevity. When toughened glass does break, it fractures into small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards, which is an important consideration for venues operating under licence conditions or where minimising injury risk is a priority.
From an operational standpoint, these glasses offer a few straightforward advantages:
- CE marking satisfies licensing requirements for measured serves without additional checks
- Toughened construction reduces stock replacement frequency in high-turnover service
- Safer breakage pattern lowers risk of injury to staff and customers
- A versatile profile suits soft drinks, long cocktails, and draught serves equally well
- Pack quantity of 48 provides a practical starting point for stocking a bar or supplementing existing stock
No special storage or handling requirements apply beyond standard glassware practice. Commercial glasswashers handle toughened glass without issue, though as with all glassware, regular inspection for chips or stress marks is advisable — damaged toughened glass should be removed from service promptly.
These glasses are well suited to pubs, bars, casual dining operations, and event catering where a reliable, CE-marked hi ball is needed in volume. If your operation runs at particularly high throughput and breakage is a persistent concern, it may be worth considering a heavier-duty toughened option or exploring polycarbonate alternatives for specific areas.
If you are unsure about the right glass specification for your venue or need to match an existing range, the team is happy to talk it through.
£59.79(£71.75 inc VAT)
These are straightforward, everyday hi ball glasses from Utopia — a 340ml capacity glass with CE marking at 285ml, supplied in a pack of 48. They are a practical choice for any licensed venue that needs reliable, consistent glassware across a busy bar or floor service.
In a working bar environment, consistency across a glass range matters. These hi balls are a standard format that suits a wide range of serves — long mixed drinks, soft drinks, mocktails, and cocktails presented over ice. The CE stamp at 285ml supports compliance with licensing requirements for measured pours, which is particularly relevant for venues serving spirits and mixers under licensing regulations.
Key practical points for front-of-house use:
- CE stamped at 285ml, supporting compliant spirit and mixer serves
- 340ml total capacity allows for ice and appropriate headspace
- Pack of 48 provides a sensible opening stock level for smaller venues
- Simple, unfussy profile suits a range of bar styles and drink presentations
- Glass construction at 290g per piece — robust enough for everyday service without being unnecessarily heavy
Being glass rather than tempered or nucleated, these are suited to venues where careful handling is part of normal service standards. They are not designed for high-attrition environments such as festivals or late-night venues where polycarbonate alternatives would be more practical.
These glasses are well suited to pubs, casual dining venues, hotel bars, and café-style operations running standard table or counter service. For venues with very high throughput or significant breakage rates, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity or a different glass profile better fits the operation.
If you are fitting out a new venue or standardising a glass range and want a second opinion on quantities or formats, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£93.36(£112.03 inc VAT)
The Duralex Gigogne is a stackable tempered glass hi-ball suitable for everyday commercial service. The curved profile and embossed banding give it a clean, classic appearance that works equally well for water, juice, soft drinks, and cocktails. It holds 360ml, making it a practical all-round size for table service and counter use alike.
Tempered glass is a sensible choice in high-turnover environments. Duralex's tempering process produces glass that is meaningfully harder-wearing than standard soda-lime glassware, and if a glass does break, it tends to fragment into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards — a relevant safety consideration in any busy kitchen or bar area. The Gigogne also tolerates the thermal cycling of commercial dishwasher use reliably, which matters when glasses are going through the machine multiple times a day during service.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical benefits are:
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint and speeds up mise en place
- Dishwasher safe — handles repeated commercial wash cycles without issue
- Tempered construction resists chipping better than standard glassware
- Suitable for both hot and cold beverages, giving flexible menu use
- 48-unit pack quantity supports a full section without frequent restocking
The main consideration is volume. For high-turnover bars or large-format venues running multiple sittings, a 48-pack may form one part of a larger glassware holding rather than covering all requirements on its own. It is worth thinking through par levels before ordering.
These glasses are well suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and pub food operations where a reliable, presentable everyday hi-ball is needed in quantity. If you are equipping a site and want guidance on quantities or glassware mix, the team is happy to help you work it through.
£38.23(£45.88 inc VAT)
The Onis Levitas is a stemmed hiball glass with a tall, narrow bowl set on a short stem. At 340ml capacity, it sits in a practical mid-size range suited to long drinks, cocktails, soft drinks, and iced beverages. The short stem distinguishes it from a standard tumbler without adding the fragility associated with taller-stemmed glassware, which makes it a reasonable choice for busy service environments where handling speed matters.
The Finesse Laser Cut Rim is a notable practical feature. A precisely finished rim reduces chipping risk at the lip and produces a cleaner drinking edge, which is something bar and front-of-house teams tend to notice over time — both in terms of guest experience and in the rate at which glasses are pulled from service due to rim damage.
- Short stem improves stability on trays and service counters
- Dishwasher safe, simplifying high-turnover glass washing operations
- Laser-cut rim reduces chipping and improves longevity in regular service
- Tall bowl suits presentation of layered or garnished drinks
Being dishwasher safe is straightforward but worth stating plainly — glassware that cannot withstand commercial glasswasher cycles becomes a recurring replacement cost. These glasses are designed to handle regular machine washing, which matters in venues cycling through large glass counts per service.
The Levitas suits bars, casual dining, and café operations looking for a glass that offers a step up from a plain tumbler without the fragility or cost of fine crystal stemware. For venues needing larger hiball formats or heavier-duty glass construction for outdoor or high-risk settings, alternatives worth considering exist within the broader range.
If you are selecting glassware for a new venue or refreshing an existing range, the team is happy to talk through quantities, formats, and what tends to work well for different service styles.
£39.36(£47.23 inc VAT)
These straight-sided hi ball glasses from Olympia are a practical, no-fuss choice for venues that need reliable glassware in consistent volume. The 340ml capacity sits in a versatile range — large enough for long drinks, soft drinks, and cocktails served over ice, without being oversized for the purpose.
In a busy bar or restaurant environment, glassware takes a lot of punishment. These glasses are designed to hold up through regular glasswasher cycles without clouding or degrading quickly, which matters when you're turning over covers at pace and need stock that lasts a reasonable service life under daily use.
The straight-sided profile is practical for a number of reasons beyond aesthetics:
- Straightforward to stack and store, reducing breakage in transit between bar and wash area
- Consistent shape makes portion control and drink presentation easier to manage
- Compatible with standard glasswasher baskets without awkward nesting issues
- The classic profile suits a wide range of drink styles and service formats
The pack quantity of 48 makes this a sensible purchase for venues needing to establish or replenish a working stock. Smaller operations may find a single pack sufficient; higher-volume sites running multiple bar areas or large function spaces may want to consider buying in greater quantity to maintain adequate circulation between front of house and the wash cycle.
If you're unsure how much glassware stock your operation needs to run efficiently, or whether this size is the right fit for your menu, we're happy to talk it through.

The Utopia Paradise hi ball glasses are polycarbonate drinkware designed to replicate the appearance of conventional glassware without the associated breakage risk. At 530ml capacity, they're a practical format for long drinks, soft drinks, and cocktails across a wide range of licensed and hospitality settings.
In a busy bar or outdoor service environment, broken glass is both a safety hazard and a source of service disruption. Polycarbonate construction addresses this directly — these glasses withstand the knocks, drops, and general handling pressure of high-volume service without shattering. The clarity is notably good for polycarbonate, which matters in venues where the visual presentation of drinks is part of the guest experience.
From an operational standpoint, the Paradise hi balls offer several practical advantages:
- Polycarbonate construction — highly resistant to breakage under normal service conditions
- Glasswasher safe — compatible with standard commercial glasswashing cycles
- Consistent clarity — maintains a glass-like appearance for guest-facing service
- Lightweight format — reduces fatigue for staff carrying multiple drinks
- Pack of 24 — practical quantity for stocking a bar or topping up existing supply
These are well suited to poolside bars, outdoor terraces, festival catering, sports venues, and any setting where glass is restricted or the breakage rate with conventional glassware is a recurring cost. They're equally practical in high-turnover pub environments where rapid turnaround matters more than a premium glassware feel.
If you're unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your venue or want to discuss quantities for a larger operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£29.79(£35.75 inc VAT)
The Onis Endeavor hi ball is a straightforward, well-proportioned glass suited to a wide range of beverage and cocktail service applications. At 290ml it sits at the smaller end of the hi ball category, making it a practical choice where portion control matters or where a compact serve is preferred over a larger format.
Onis treat these glasses with their Xtratuff process during manufacture, which improves resistance to both thermal and mechanical shock. In a busy bar or restaurant setting, that translates to a glass that handles the temperature transition from a glasswasher to a cold bar environment more reliably than standard untempered glassware, and holds up better against the everyday knocks of a working bar top or tray service.
From an operational standpoint, a few practical points are worth noting:
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint behind the bar or in glass storage areas
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between service periods
- Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to smaller operations or topping up existing stock
- Consistent shape works across soft drinks, long cocktails, and spirit mixers
These glasses are well suited to cafés, casual dining venues, smaller bars, and hotel food and beverage operations. For higher-volume sites running large covers or where breakage rates are a primary concern, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity or a reinforced rim variant would better meet your throughput needs.
If you are unsure whether the 290ml format is the right fit for your service style, or want to discuss glassware quantities across a full venue setup, our team is happy to help you think it through.
£31.39(£37.67 inc VAT)
The Utopia Rockstar hi ball glass is a machine-made glass with a faceted cut-glass exterior, offered in packs of six. At 480ml it sits at the larger end of the hi ball range, making it a practical choice for long drinks, cocktails, and soft drink service where a generous measure is expected.
In a bar or casual dining environment these glasses are straightforward to handle and stack. The defined faceting gives a degree of grip during service, which is useful in a busy venue where glasses are handled quickly and repeatedly. Being machine-made, the dimensions are consistent across the pack, which matters when glasses are presented together on a tray or lined up on a back bar.
- Generous 480ml capacity suits long drinks, cocktails, and mixers
- Faceted exterior adds grip and visual interest without being fragile
- Machine-made for consistent sizing across the pack
- Versatile format suitable for bars, restaurants, and casual dining
- Pack of six allows straightforward stock management in smaller venues
Being glass rather than polycarbonate, these are intended for standard table and bar service rather than outdoor or high-risk environments where unbreakable alternatives are more appropriate. They are not marketed as toughened or thermally treated, so the usual care around glassware handling and storage applies.
These suit venues looking to add a styled glass at a sensible price point — casual dining operations, cocktail bars, or pub restaurants are typical settings. For higher-volume sites needing larger pack quantities or a more durable specification, other options in the range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this glass is the right fit for your service style or volume, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£153.00(£183.60 inc VAT)
The Luigi Bormioli Bach hi-ball glass is a faceted, lead-free crystal glass designed for commercial beverage service. The 480ml capacity makes it a practical choice for long drinks, cocktails, and soft beverages where a generous pour is expected.
Made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx material — a high-tech blown crystal — these glasses are titanium-reinforced to improve resistance to chipping and mechanical shock. For a bar or restaurant running a commercial glasswasher, the rating of up to 4,000 dishwasher cycles without loss of clarity or structural integrity is a meaningful operational consideration. The glass retains its brilliance through sustained daily use rather than clouding or dulling over time, which matters when presentation is part of the service offer.
From a practical standpoint, the key advantages for operators are:
- Lead-free crystal construction that meets commercial food safety standards
- Titanium reinforcement to reduce breakage losses at the bar
- Dishwasher-safe through extended commercial cycles without degradation
- Consistent, faceted presentation suited to cocktail and premium soft drink service
- Pack quantity of 24 supports standard glasswasher rack sizing
No special handling or storage requirements beyond standard glassware practice. These are commercial glasswasher-compatible as supplied, though hand-finishing after washing will always extend visual life. Worth noting that crystal glassware, however reinforced, carries a higher breakage cost per unit than tempered soda-lime alternatives — operators in very high-turnover, late-night environments may want to weigh that against the presentation benefit.
Well suited to hotels, cocktail bars, brasseries, and restaurants where glassware presentation is part of the brand. For venues where durability under rough handling is the primary concern, a toughened alternative may be worth considering. If you'd like to talk through the right glass specification for your service style, the team is happy to help.
£28.49(£34.19 inc VAT)
The Utopia Pierre hi ball glasses are polycarbonate drinkware designed to replicate the appearance of traditional glassware while offering the practical resilience that busy commercial venues require. At 650ml capacity, they are a practical choice for long drinks, soft drinks, and cocktails served over ice.
Polycarbonate construction means these glasses will not shatter if dropped — a meaningful advantage in high-footfall environments such as outdoor terraces, festival bars, poolside service, and venues with strict no-glass policies. The material is also resistant to staining and chipping, which helps maintain a presentable appearance across a high volume of covers without the accelerated attrition you would expect from standard glassware in the same setting.
From an operational standpoint, the key day-to-day advantages are:
- Glasswasher safe, supporting fast turnaround during service
- Shatter-resistant — reduces breakage costs and safety incidents
- Stain and chip resistant, maintaining appearance over repeated use
- Lightweight compared to glass, reducing handling fatigue for staff
- Suitable for no-glass venues and outdoor licensed areas
No special handling or storage considerations are required beyond standard polycarbonate care — avoid abrasive cleaning agents and high-temperature dishwasher cycles where possible, as these can cause hazing over time. They are supplied in a pack of 12, which suits venues looking to build or supplement existing stock without over-ordering.
These glasses are well suited to pub gardens, outdoor events, sports venues, poolside bars, and any licensed operation where glass is restricted or impractical. For venues running very high covers or requiring a larger opening stock, it is worth considering ordering in greater multiples to maintain adequate rotation through the glasswasher.
If you are unsure how many to stock for your service volume or whether this capacity suits your drinks menu, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£21.95(£26.34 inc VAT)
The Chef & Sommelier Vigne hiball glass is part of a glassware collection designed for venues where presentation at the table matters. The form follows a long, gently curved profile with a weighted base that gives the glass a solid, considered feel in the hand — the kind of detail that communicates quality to a guest without anything needing to be said.
The rim is cold-cut rather than fire-polished, which removes the slight lip that can be felt on lower-quality glasses. In practice, this produces a cleaner drinking experience and a more refined finish that holds up well under scrutiny at a properly set table. The weighted base also contributes to stability during busy service, reducing the likelihood of spills when glasses are being placed or cleared at pace.
- Cold-cut rim for a clean, uninterrupted drinking edge
- Weighted base improves stability during active table service
- Elegant curved profile suited to formal and casual dining settings
- Consistent form across the Vigne range for a uniform table presentation
- Sold in packs of six, practical for phased stocking or replacement
These glasses are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, cocktail bars, and any venue that wants a step up from generic hiball glassware without moving into a fragile, highly decorative product that struggles in a working environment. They are not a heavy-duty stack glass for high-turnover casual dining, so operators running very fast-paced covers may want to consider something more robust for that context.
If you are building out a full table setting or want to confirm suitability across a range, the team is happy to talk it through.
£35.99(£43.19 inc VAT)
These straight-sided hi ball glasses from Olympia are a practical, no-nonsense choice for bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues that need reliable glassware in quantity. At 285ml, they sit at a useful size for a range of soft drinks, juices, mixed drinks, and water service, making them a versatile everyday option rather than a specialist purchase.
For busy venues running continuous table turns or high-volume bar service, having sufficient glassware on hand is as important as the glass itself. A pack of 48 gives operators a solid working stock that supports ongoing service without constant returns to the glasswasher mid-shift. The straight-sided profile stacks and handles efficiently in a commercial glasswasher rack, and the glasswasher-safe construction means they can cycle through service repeatedly without the finish degrading prematurely under commercial wash conditions.
Key practical points for operators:
- Straight-sided profile stacks efficiently and is easy to handle in service
- Glasswasher safe for high-frequency commercial wash cycles
- 285ml capacity suits a wide range of soft drinks, juices, and mixed drinks
- Pack of 48 provides sufficient working stock for continuous service
- Versatile format suitable for casual dining, bars, and hospitality venues
These glasses are well suited to casual dining restaurants, pub environments, hotel food and beverage operations, and any venue where a reliable all-purpose hi ball is needed in volume. They are not a premium crystal product, and operators looking for a more formal or upmarket presentation may want to consider a dedicated crystal or fine glass range. For very high-volume sites with significant breakage rates, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or a toughened alternative would be more economical over time.
If you are stocking a new venue or replacing an existing glassware range and would like guidance on quantities or glass types for your specific operation, our team is happy to help.
£49.16(£58.99 inc VAT)
The Utopia Finesse Hi Ball is a 450ml crystal glass tumbler designed for everyday service in bars, restaurants and hotels. Part of Utopia's broader Finesse tableware range, these glasses are intended to offer a clean, consistent look across a front-of-house operation without the fragility often associated with finer glassware.
In practice, crystal glass at this price point strikes a reasonable balance between appearance and durability. The Finesse Hi Ball is noticeably lightweight for its size, which makes handling easier during busy service and reduces fatigue for bar staff working at speed. The profile is a standard hi ball format, well suited to long drinks, soft drinks, and cocktails where a generous pour volume is expected.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Lightweight construction reduces handling strain during high-volume service
- Crystal glass gives a cleaner, more polished appearance than standard soda-lime alternatives
- Straightforward cylindrical profile stacks and stores efficiently behind the bar
- Pack of six suits incremental restocking without over-committing budget
These glasses are not marketed as fully toughened or commercial-grade reinforced glassware, so operators running very high-turnover venues with significant breakage rates may want to consider whether a toughened alternative would offer a better cost-per-use outcome over time. For most restaurant and hotel bar settings with standard service volumes, the Finesse Hi Ball is a practical and presentable choice.
If you are equipping a new venue or replacing a full set and want to talk through glass specifications, quantities or suitability for your service style, the team is happy to help.
£55.71(£66.85 inc VAT)
These are standard-format hi ball glasses from Utopia, made from toughened glass and supplied in a case of 48. At 240ml, they sit at the smaller end of the hi ball range, making them well suited to short mixed drinks, soft drink serves, and juice rather than long drinks or pint-volume cocktails.
Toughened glass undergoes a thermal or chemical treatment process that significantly increases its resistance to impact compared with standard soda-lime glass. The strengthening runs through the entire body of the glass, not just the rim or base, which is where conventional glasses most commonly fail in a busy service environment. In the event of breakage, toughened glass fragments into small, relatively blunt pieces rather than sharp shards — a meaningful practical difference in a licensed environment where staff are clearing tables quickly and glass injuries are a genuine operational risk.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, these glasses offer a few clear advantages for bar and front-of-house teams:
- Toughened construction reduces breakage rates in high-turnover service
- Safer breakage pattern helps meet licensing requirements at many premises
- Consistent 240ml capacity supports accurate, repeatable drink builds
- Dishwasher safe for standard commercial glasswasher cycles
- Pack of 48 provides a practical opening quantity for most bar setups
It is worth noting that toughened glass, while more resilient than standard glassware, is not unbreakable. Chips to the rim — common in commercial use — can compromise the toughening and should be a reason to remove a glass from service. A regular check of stock condition is good practice regardless of glass type.
These glasses are best suited to pubs, bars, casual dining operations, and venues operating under a licence that stipulates or recommends toughened glassware. For higher-volume operations or venues with particularly heavy throughput, it may be worth considering a larger case size or a thicker-walled format.
If you are unsure whether this capacity or format is the right fit for your serve style or licensing requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£49.16(£58.99 inc VAT)
The Utopia Singapore hiball is a machine-made soda lime glass designed for commercial bar and restaurant use. At 320ml, it sits in the practical mid-range for long drinks, highballs, and soft drinks service, making it a straightforward choice for operators who need a consistent, presentable glass across a busy floor.
In a working bar environment, glassware takes a significant amount of daily handling — racking through glass washers, stacking behind the bar, repeated service throughout a shift. Soda lime construction is the standard for this type of use: it offers reasonable durability for the price point and performs reliably through commercial dishwasher cycles. The vertical ribbed profile provides a degree of grip for both staff and customers, which is a practical consideration in a fast-paced service environment.
- Consistent machine-made profile for uniform presentation across the pack
- Ribbed sides improve grip during service and handling
- Suitable for glass washers used in commercial settings
- 130g weight gives a solid feel without being heavy for extended service
- Pack of 24 supports a sensible stock level for most venue sizes
Being a soda lime glass rather than toughened or tempered, operators should factor in standard breakage rates for busy venues. For higher-throughput sites or where impact resistance is a priority, a toughened alternative may be worth considering. The 320ml capacity suits most standard long drink serves without overfilling.
This glass is well suited to restaurants, cafés, hotels, and bar operations that need a reliable, presentable hiball at a practical price point. A pack of 24 is a sensible starting quantity for a small to medium venue, though higher-volume sites may benefit from holding additional stock.
If you're unsure how many packs suit your service volume or whether this style is the right fit for your venue, our team is happy to help you work it out.
