Delivery Information

Price Match

These BBP Penthouse hi ball glasses are made from polycarbonate rather than glass, making them a practical choice for venues where conventional glassware presents a safety or breakage risk. At 285ml with CE marking, they are suited to standard UK measures and comply with the requirements for served drinks where trading standards verification is needed.

Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used across outdoor hospitality — beer gardens, festival bars, poolside service, and stadium concessions — where glass is either prohibited or operationally unsuitable. The material is resistant to impact and does not shatter, which reduces both injury risk and wastage during busy service periods.

From an operational standpoint, these glasses offer several practical advantages:

  • Glasswasher safe with an approximate lifecycle of 500 washes before clarity degrades
  • CE marked at 285ml for compliant measure service
  • Impact-resistant polycarbonate reduces breakage losses
  • Supplied in a pack of 36, suitable for stocking a bar or event float
  • Lightweight construction eases handling during high-volume service

It is worth noting that polycarbonate will discolour and cloud over time, particularly if washed at excessive temperatures or with abrasive chemicals. Using a glasswasher rather than a dishwasher, and following the chemical supplier's guidance, will help extend the usable lifecycle. They are not intended to replicate the feel of glass for fine dining or premium drink presentation.

These glasses are well suited to outdoor licensed premises, event catering, leisure venues, and any operation where glass-free service is required by policy or regulation. For higher-volume events or venues needing a larger float, it is worth considering whether a greater quantity per pack would be more practical.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your operation, or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work it out.

Frequently asked questions

Are these glasses suitable for use in licensed premises serving measured drinks?

Yes. These glasses carry CE marking at 285ml, which satisfies the requirements for serving measured drinks in UK licensed premises. Always verify current trading standards requirements with your local authority if you are unsure of the obligations that apply to your venue.

How should polycarbonate glasses be washed to get the best lifecycle?

Glasswashers are preferable to standard dishwashers, as lower wash temperatures and dedicated glasswasher detergent help preserve clarity. Avoid abrasive chemicals or scouring, and do not exceed the recommended wash temperature, as this accelerates clouding and reduces the usable life of the material.

How many packs would a typical outdoor bar or event float require?

That depends on your expected covers, service pace, and how quickly glasses are returned and rewashed. A busy outdoor bar serving 100 covers simultaneously would typically need several packs to maintain a working float while glasses are in the washer cycle. If you are unsure of the right quantity for your operation, we are happy to help you work through it.
