Table Service

This large oval willow basket from Olympia is a straightforward serving and display piece, commonly used for bread rolls at the table or fruit and snack presentation on buffet counters. The natural willow construction gives it a warm, rustic appearance that sits comfortably in casual dining rooms, brasseries, and hotel breakfast settings.

In day-to-day service, wicker and willow baskets like this one are a reliable choice for bread service because they allow a little airflow around the product, helping to keep crusts from going soft too quickly during a busy sitting. They are lightweight and easy for floor staff to handle, and the oval shape makes efficient use of table space without dominating a cover.

A few practical points worth keeping in mind:

• Natural willow requires occasional inspection — splits or loose weave can develop over time with heavy use
• Not suitable for direct contact with wet or very moist foods without a liner
• A paper or linen liner is the standard approach for bread service and makes clearing between covers straightforward
• Hand wash only — not dishwasher safe

This basket is well suited to smaller operations or as part of a wider table service set. For venues running large-scale buffets or high-turnover covers where durability is a priority, it is worth considering whether a more robust or larger format basket would better meet the volume. Olympia offers a range of sizes within this willow collection.

If you are putting together a full table service scheme or want to confirm the right size for your covers, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Mitre Comfort Gingham Tablecloth is a square polyester cloth in a traditional red gingham pattern, sized to suit standard square café and bistro tables. It is made from spun polyester, which gives it a soft hand feel while remaining practical for regular commercial laundering.

In everyday front-of-house use, polyester tablecloths of this type hold up well to repeated washing and drying cycles without significant fading or distortion. The gingham pattern is well established in casual dining settings — cafés, tea rooms, garden restaurants, and pub dining rooms — where it contributes to a relaxed, informal aesthetic without requiring the upkeep of linen.

• Easy-care polyester construction tolerates frequent commercial laundering
• Traditional gingham pattern suits informal and casual dining environments
• Soft touch finish for a comfortable table presentation
• Square format fits standard square café and bistro tables
• Lightweight at 680g, straightforward to handle and store in quantity

Being polyester rather than a cotton-polyester blend, this cloth dries relatively quickly and irons with less effort, which can help reduce turnaround time in busy linen operations. It is worth confirming the fit against your specific table dimensions before ordering in volume, as overhang preferences vary between operators.

This cloth is best suited to casual dining venues, cafés, tea rooms, and similar settings where a traditional gingham look is part of the room's character. It is not intended for formal fine-dining covers where pressed linen or damask would be more appropriate. For operations running high table-turn volumes, having sufficient stock to rotate through the wash cycle is worth factoring into your order quantity.

If you are unsure how many cloths to stock per table or want to discuss other colourways and sizes in the range, we are happy to help you work that out.

The Churchill Alchemy Wood small serving boards are acacia wood boards designed for direct food presentation at the table. At 300 x 90mm, they sit in a useful middle ground — substantial enough to serve a single starter, a side, or a small sharing portion, yet compact enough not to overcrowd a cover. They are supplied in packs of four, which suits initial set-up or topping up existing stock.

Acacia is a practical choice for foodservice tableware. It is a dense, close-grained wood that handles light food contact well and presents with a natural variation in grain pattern that suits relaxed, informal dining environments. These boards are food safe and are intended for hand-cleaning rather than machine washing, which is standard for wooden tableware of this type.

In operational terms, boards like these are commonly used for:

• Starter and snack presentations in casual dining and bistro settings
• Sharing plates and small charcuterie or cheese portions
• Bread and side presentations alongside a main course
• Branded, rustic-style plating where ceramic or slate is less appropriate

It is worth noting that wooden boards require more considered cleaning and storage than ceramic or melamine alternatives. They should not be soaked or put through a commercial dishwasher, and periodic oiling may be needed to maintain appearance over time. For high-volume or fast-turnaround operations, that additional care requirement is worth factoring in before committing to wood as a primary serving surface.

These boards are best suited to independent restaurants, gastropubs, and casual dining venues where the aesthetic aligns with the menu style. If your service volume demands quicker turnaround or you are running a larger operation needing heavier stock quantities, it is worth discussing whether a different format or material would be more practical. Our team are happy to help you think through the right choice for your covers and service style.

The JM Posner Quad Bottle Warmer is a compact, mains-powered unit that holds four standard squeeze bottles at a consistent, controlled serving temperature. It is designed for point-of-service use where hot sauces, chocolate sauces, cheese sauces, or similar condiments need to stay ready throughout a service period without repeated reheating from cold.

In a working service environment, the unit earns its place at the counter rather than the back of house. A crêpe kiosk holding warm chocolate sauce through a busy market session, or a café counter keeping cheese sauce at the right consistency for a brunch menu, are both typical fits. The adjustable temperature control is a practical detail — thinner sauces and denser cheese-based ones behave differently under heat, and being able to dial in the right hold temperature avoids the texture and presentation problems that come from holding everything at the same setting.

• Four bottles served simultaneously, reducing mid-service restocking interruptions
• Adjustable temperature control to suit different sauce types and viscosities
• Compact metal construction suited to counter, kiosk, and market stall surfaces
• Plug-in operation with no fixed installation required
• Simple to clean down and reposition between services

Because it runs from a standard mains socket, there is no installation work involved and it can be positioned wherever it is needed most. It is not intended for central production kitchens or high-volume sauce holding — this is a front-of-house tool built around convenience and presentation at the point of service.

The warmer suits crêperies, dessert counters, school canteens, street food stalls, and smaller café operations well. Sites needing to hold larger sauce volumes continuously, or running significantly higher throughput, may find a heavier-duty solution a better match for their demands.

If you are working out whether this fits your service setup or sauce types, our team is glad to help you think it through.

These earthenware tapas dishes are made in Spain and intended for traditional tapas service. Each dish is 150mm in diameter — a practical size for individual portions of olives, patatas bravas, chorizo, or similar small plates. The pack contains 24 pieces, which suits a reasonable level of cover turnover without requiring constant re-runs to the kitchen.

In service, the earthenware construction holds heat reasonably well once warmed, which helps keep food at temperature on the table. The dishes can go from oven or microwave straight to the pass, reducing the need for transfer plating and keeping the presentation consistent throughout service. They are also freezer-safe, which allows for pre-portioned preparations to be held and finished to order.

• Suitable for oven, microwave and freezer use
• Goes direct from kitchen to table for authentic presentation
• Earthenware construction retains warmth during service
• Consistent 150mm sizing supports portion control
• Pack of 24 provides a practical opening stock for tapas menus

As with all unglazed or partially glazed earthenware, these dishes will benefit from careful handling during washing — commercial dishwashers can be used, but the long-term appearance of any rustic finish will depend on water hardness and detergent strength. It is worth running a small test batch before committing to full-service volume. Storage space for 24 pieces should also be factored in, as earthenware stacks less compactly than standard ceramic.

These dishes are well suited to tapas bars, Spanish restaurants, and any operation running a small plates or sharing menu where presentation in the cooking vessel is part of the offer. For higher-volume sites needing larger quantities, it is worth considering whether a bigger pack size would reduce the frequency of reordering.

If you are building out a tapas table service and want to talk through quantities or presentation options, the team is happy to help.

The Cole & Mason Capstan is a compact acrylic pepper mill designed for table service use in cafés, restaurants, and similar hospitality settings. Made from crystal-clear acrylic, it gives a clean, unfussy appearance on the table and allows staff and guests to see the peppercorn level at a glance.

For front-of-house use, the Capstan's modest size makes it easy to handle and straightforward to refill during service. Clear acrylic construction means there are no surprises when stock runs low, which helps reduce the small but disruptive interruptions that come with opaque mills during a busy sitting.

• Crystal-clear acrylic body for visible peppercorn level
• Compact form suited to table settings without dominating covers
• Lightweight and easy for both staff and guests to handle
• Simple to refill between or during service

As a smallware at this price point, there are no complex installation or operational considerations. It is worth bearing in mind that acrylic, while practical and presentable, is less suited to high-heat environments or rough handling than stainless alternatives — for kitchens where mills spend time on pass counters or in busier back-of-house use, a more robust material may be worth considering.

The Capstan is well suited to casual dining, café, and bistro settings where a clean, simple table mill is needed without the weight or cost of a premium wood or stainless option. For operations requiring a heavier-duty or larger-capacity mill, alternatives are available within the range.

If you are equipping a number of covers and want to talk through the right option for your setting, we are happy to help.

These kraft black paper tablemats from Europochette are a straightforward disposable table covering designed for use in restaurants, cafés, and similar food service operations. Made from 100% recycled paper and fully recyclable at end of use, they offer a functional base layer for place settings without the laundering and replacement costs associated with fabric alternatives.

In a busy dining room, speed of turnaround between covers matters. Disposable tablemats remove the need to inspect, fold, or restock cloth items between sittings — a used mat is lifted with the cover clear and the table is ready for reset. The black kraft finish presents tidily in casual dining, bistro, and pub restaurant environments, and holds up reasonably well against light spills during service without becoming visually untidy before the cover ends.

• Made from 100% recycled paper — supports sustainability commitments
• Fully recyclable after use — suitable for paper waste streams
• Black kraft finish suits casual dining and bistro settings
• Removes laundering cost and linen management from table service
• Supplied in packs of 250 — practical for regular stock rotation

There are no installation or utility requirements to consider. Storage space is the main practical factor — packs should be kept dry and flat to prevent curl or moisture damage before use. For very high-volume sites turning multiple sittings across a large number of covers daily, it is worth calculating consumption rate before ordering to avoid running short mid-service.

These tablemats are well suited to casual dining restaurants, gastropubs, cafés, and event catering operations where a clean, consistent table presentation is needed without the overhead of a linen programme. They are less likely to suit formal fine-dining environments where a heavier or more premium table covering would be expected.

If you are unsure about quantities for your service volume or want to explore other table presentation options, the team is happy to help you work through what suits your operation.

The Olympia Oak Table Caddy is a compact wooden condiment and utensil holder designed for front-of-house table use. It keeps sauces, napkins, cutlery, and other table essentials organised and accessible for diners without cluttering the table surface.

Made from wood with a printed oak finish, the caddy has a relaxed, rustic appearance that sits well in cafes, gastropubs, bistros, and casual dining environments. It is a practical piece that also contributes to the overall table presentation without requiring much thought or effort from floor staff.

The built-in handles make it straightforward to move between tables or transport to and from storage fully loaded, which saves a small but useful amount of time during turnaround between covers. For front-of-house teams working at pace, that kind of detail adds up across a service.

• Wooden construction with a printed oak finish suits relaxed or rustic dining settings
• Handles allow the caddy to be carried fully loaded, speeding up table resets
• Compact footprint keeps the table surface clear for plates and glassware
• Suitable for condiment bottles, sachets, napkins, and loose cutlery
• Lightweight at 525g, easy for front-of-house staff to handle throughout service

This caddy is well suited to independent cafes, pub dining rooms, and casual restaurants where a warm, informal table aesthetic is the aim. It is a single-unit piece rather than a modular system, so operators running large covers or needing interchangeable inserts may want to consider a more configurable option.

If you are fitting out a number of tables and want to discuss quantities or whether this style suits your setting, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Clover Yakumi Pan is a stainless steel condiment and ingredient holder designed for structured mise en place work. It consists of a shallow outer pan that accepts a set of smaller individual inserts, allowing ingredients, garnishes, sauces, or condiments to be separated, organised, and kept accessible throughout service. The pan and inserts are constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, which offers reliable corrosion resistance and holds up well in the damp, demanding conditions of a working kitchen pass or prep station.

In practice, yakumi pans are well suited to any kitchen where order and speed of access matter during service. Sushi and Japanese cuisine operations use them as a matter of course, but they are equally practical in any prep environment where a cook needs condiments or finishing ingredients close to hand without cluttering the workstation. The individual inserts can be lifted out independently, which means a section can be restocked or swapped without disrupting the rest of the setup.

• Twelve small inserts allow fine separation of multiple ingredients or condiments
• Fully detachable inserts simplify restocking and mid-service cleaning
• 18/8 stainless steel construction resists staining and handles repeated washing
• Dishwasher safe, reducing cleaning time at the end of service
• Compact footprint suits tight pass or prep station arrangements

At 850g, the pan is light enough to reposition easily but solid enough to sit stably on a flat surface. There are no installation requirements — it needs only a clean, level surface with sufficient depth to accommodate the inserts without obstruction from overhanging shelving or sneeze guards.

This size works well for small to medium covers where a modest range of condiments is needed. Operations with higher throughput or a broader ingredient range may find a larger pan format more practical. If you are unsure which configuration suits your setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Utopia Hayworth candleholders are handmade soda-lime glass pieces designed for table service in restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues. The optic-moulded body catches and diffracts candlelight, producing a warm, ambient glow across the table without any additional effort from front-of-house staff. They are sold in packs of six, making it straightforward to stock or replenish a section of covers in one order.

In a busy dining environment, table accessories need to be consistent in appearance and robust enough to handle regular handling, cleaning, and storage. The Hayworth candleholders are practical in this respect — the soda-lime glass construction is well suited to the rigours of daily service, and the compact form factor means they store without taking up excessive back-of-house space.

• Optic glass design creates warm, diffused candlelight at the table
• Handmade soda-lime glass with good resistance to everyday service handling
• Compact proportions suit most table layouts without dominating the setting
• Sold in sixes, supporting straightforward cover-by-cover restocking
• Coordinates with other pieces in the broader Hayworth collection

These candleholders are well suited to restaurants, bistros, bars, and event venues looking to add a considered ambient element to their table presentation without a significant investment. If you are dressing a large number of covers or coordinating with other Hayworth tableware, it is worth speaking with us to ensure you order the right quantities first time.

These bud vases are part of Olympia's established Whiteware range — a broad collection of fully vitrified porcelain pieces designed to offer consistent, unfussy table presentation across hospitality settings. At 140mm tall, each vase is a practical size for a single stem or small flower arrangement without dominating the table.

Fully vitrified porcelain offers better resistance to chipping, thermal shock, and general knock-about handling than standard earthenware, which matters in busy front-of-house environments where tableware is handled repeatedly across multiple covers each service. The clean white finish works alongside most tableware ranges and doesn't compete with food presentation.

• Fully vitrified porcelain construction for durability in daily service
• Consistent white finish coordinates with most existing tableware
• Practical height suitable for single stems or small arrangements
• Supplied in a pack of six — useful for topping up existing stock
• Part of a wider Whiteware range for continuity across the table

These are well suited to cafes, bistros, hotels, and pub dining rooms that want a straightforward floral touch without committing to something decorative or fragile. The pack-of-six format makes them a practical choice for venues furnishing multiple tables or replacing breakages.

If you're looking to build out or refresh a full table setting within the Whiteware range, our team are happy to advise on what else is available.

The Vogue 36oz clear squeeze bottle is a practical dispensing tool for sauces, dressings, oils, and condiments across front- and back-of-house use. Made from polyethylene, it is built to handle daily commercial use without cracking or degrading under repeated squeezing and cleaning cycles.

The triple nozzle design allows a reasonable volume of sauce to be applied in a single squeeze, which is particularly useful during plating where speed and consistency matter. The clear body lets staff monitor fill levels at a glance, reducing the risk of running short mid-service. The wide-neck opening makes refilling straightforward with minimal spillage or wastage.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Clear body for immediate visual stock checks without opening the bottle
• Wide neck for quick, clean refilling between covers
• Triple nozzle for faster sauce application compared to single-nozzle alternatives
• Dishwasher safe for routine cleaning, with hand-cleaning of the spout recommended for thorough hygiene
• Lightweight polyethylene construction that holds up to continuous handling in a busy service environment

There are no installation requirements — the bottle is ready to use straight away. It is worth noting that the screw-top and nozzle assembly should be inspected periodically for sauce build-up, particularly with thicker or sugar-based condiments, as residue can affect flow consistency over time.

This bottle suits cafés, restaurants, and catering operations that need a reliable, no-fuss dispensing solution for table service or plating. It is available in this 36oz size; smaller formats exist for operations where a lower-volume bottle per station is more practical.

If you are equipping multiple stations or need advice on quantities for a particular service style, the team is happy to help you work out what will suit your operation.

The Cambro Versa Bin is a polyethylene insert designed specifically for use with the Cambro Versa Dispensing Rack system. It functions as the individual holding compartment within the rack, keeping condiment sachets, sweeteners, stirrers, or similar table service items contained, accessible, and neatly presented at the point of use.

In a busy front-of-house environment, loose condiment packaging scattered across tables or service stations creates a poor impression and slows down service. The Versa Bin addresses this by giving each category of item its own dedicated slot within the rack, making replenishment quicker and keeping stations looking tidy even during peak covers.

Being polyethylene, the bin is lightweight, easy to wipe clean, and resistant to the everyday knocks and spills that come with regular table service. It holds its shape and finish under routine use without cracking or discolouring with standard cleaning products.

It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific Versa Rack configuration before ordering, as the rack system accommodates different bin quantities and arrangements depending on the model held. If you are building out or expanding a Versa Rack setup and are unsure which combination of bins and racks best suits your service layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Dudson Evo Granite tapas dish is a vitrified stoneware piece designed to complement informal and sharing-style table service. The surface finish replicates the look of hand-thrown pottery, giving it a tactile, artisan quality that sits comfortably alongside both rustic and contemporary covers. Supplied in packs of six, it is a practical buying unit for operators setting up or refreshing a tapas or small-plates menu.

Vitrified stoneware is a sensible material choice for commercial table service. It is denser and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, which matters when pieces are being handled repeatedly across busy service periods. The Evo Granite range is designed to hold its appearance through regular dishwasher cycling, which keeps replacement costs manageable over time.

In practical terms, this dish works well for a range of sharing and starter applications — olives, charcuterie, dips, small sides, or plated amuse-bouche. The 159mm diameter gives a useful serving area without overcrowding the table, and the earthy granite finish tends to present food attractively without competing with it visually.

• Vitrified stoneware construction for durability in daily commercial use
• Hand-thrown aesthetic suits casual dining and sharing plate concepts
• Dishwasher safe, supporting high-turnover service without compromising appearance
• Pack of six provides a sensible quantity for setting up or topping up stock

This dish is best suited to restaurants, tapas bars, wine bars, and casual dining operations where sharing plates are a regular part of the menu. For larger sharing portions or family-style service, a bigger plate from the Evo Granite range may be a better fit.

If you are building out a full table service range or want guidance on matching pieces across a collection, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Utopia nightlight holders are machine-made from soda lime glass and feature an all-over criss cross cut-glass pattern in green. Sold in packs of twelve, they are a practical choice for operators looking to add consistent, low-maintenance mood lighting across a dining room without a significant outlay per unit.

The cut-glass surface scatters candlelight across the table in a way that plain glass holders do not, which helps create atmosphere without requiring significant investment in table décor. The green tint adds a subtle colour note that works well in relaxed dining environments, wine bars, and bistro-style settings where a warmer, more intimate ambience is the goal.

From an operational standpoint, the key considerations are straightforward:

• Soda lime glass construction — practical for everyday service use
• Consistent sizing across the pack supports a uniform table presentation
• Suitable for standard tealight candles
• Easy to clean and stack for storage between services
• Pack of 12 allows straightforward stock rotation

As with any glassware used in a busy dining room, soda lime glass requires reasonable handling during service and clearance. It is not toughened, so operators in high-turnover environments where breakage rates are a concern may want to factor replacement volume into their purchasing decision.

These holders are well suited to independent restaurants, hotels, wine bars, and event caterers looking to build a consistent table setting at a sensible price per unit. If you are fitting out a larger site or need advice on quantities, feel free to get in touch with the team.

The Steelite Modern Twist placemat is a hand-printed silicone table linen designed for commercial table settings. It sits flat without curling or creasing, carries a smart two-tone black and grey finish, and is produced from food-safe, BPA-free silicone throughout.

In busy table-service environments, the practical advantage of a silicone placemat becomes clear quickly. Unlike fabric linen, there is no laundering cycle, no ironing, and no storage of damp cloth. Unlike vinyl, the material does not discolour under heat or crack with repeated cleaning. These mats go through a commercial dishwasher cycle and come out ready to use — a meaningful operational saving during multi-cover services or high-turnover breakfast settings.

Key practical points for front-of-house teams:

• Commercially dishwasher safe — no specialist cleaning required
• Lays flat without curling, even after repeated wash cycles
• Food safe and BPA free — suitable where allergen-conscious presentation matters
• Durable silicone construction holds its colour and shape under regular commercial use
• Wipes down quickly between covers for faster table turns

There are no installation considerations for a placemat, but it is worth thinking about storage and quantity. Silicone mats stack neatly and take up less space than folded cloth, though the weight per unit means bulk orders do have handling implications for stock rooms. They are well suited to any setting where linen laundry costs are a concern — hotels, airport lounges, contract caterers, and casual dining restaurants are all common end users.

If you are specifying these across a larger estate or want guidance on quantities for a particular service style, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

These Olympia Rustic Mediterranean dishes are shallow stoneware serving pieces with a terracotta-effect finish. Designed for table service of tapas, mezze, olives, dips, and small side dishes, they bring a rustic, informal aesthetic to the table without sacrificing the durability required in a working kitchen environment.

Despite their traditional appearance, these dishes are made from vitrified stoneware rather than actual terracotta clay. That distinction matters in a busy service — vitrified stoneware is significantly harder, less porous, and more resistant to chipping than unglazed earthenware. They hold up well to the daily handling, stacking, and warewashing cycles that tableware in a commercial setting must endure.

For operators running tapas menus, sharing plates, or mezze-style service, consistency of presentation across the table matters. Selling in packs of six supports practical batch purchasing and makes it straightforward to build and replenish a uniform cover set over time.

• Rustic terracotta finish suits informal dining and sharing plate concepts
• Vitrified stoneware construction — more durable than standard earthenware
• Suitable for dips, olives, small sides, and tapas-style sharing dishes
• Sold in packs of six to support batch purchasing and cover building
• Compatible with standard commercial warewashing

These dishes are best suited to restaurants, bars, and casual dining operations with a Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or sharing-plate concept. They are a practical size for individual portions within a shared spread. For operators needing larger serving dishes or platters for table-centre use, a bigger format from the same range may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a full tableware set or matching these with other pieces in the Olympia range, we are happy to help you work through quantities and formats before you order.

These salt shakers are part of Olympia's established Whiteware range — plain white porcelain tableware designed to work reliably across a wide range of hospitality settings. Sold in packs of twelve, they are a practical choice for operators who need consistent, replaceable table service pieces without fuss.

Porcelain is the standard material for this type of tableware in commercial settings, and for good reason. It holds up well to daily service, dishwasher cycling, and the general wear that comes with a busy dining room. The rolled edges on these shakers are reinforced to resist chipping — a small but important detail when pieces are being handled repeatedly across multiple covers each day.

• White porcelain finish coordinates with most tableware schemes
• Rolled, strengthened edges reduce chipping during everyday handling
• Pack of 12 suits multi-table setups without repeated reordering
• Sold separately from pepper shakers, allowing flexible ordering

These are best suited to cafés, bistros, pub restaurants, and hotel dining rooms where a clean, unfussy table presentation is the aim. They are not designed for premium fine-dining settings where bespoke or branded tableware would typically be expected. For operators running high table turnover — such as canteens or large-scale event catering — it is worth considering ordering additional packs to ensure rotation stock is always available.

If you are building out a full table service set or want to confirm compatibility with other pieces in the Whiteware range, the team is happy to help you put together the right quantities.

This is a straightforward, large-capacity squeeze bottle designed for controlled dispensing of sauces, dressings, oils, and condiments. The clear body allows kitchen staff to identify the contents at a glance, which matters when several bottles are in use at once on a busy pass or prep station.

In a working kitchen environment, precision and speed both count. The squeeze mechanism gives chefs and cooks direct control over flow rate, whether that's a fine drizzle for plating, a measured squeeze for portion consistency, or a quicker application during high-volume service. The 24oz capacity reduces how often bottles need to be refilled during a service period, which is a practical advantage on a busy station.

• Clear body allows instant identification of contents without labelling reliance
• Controlled squeeze tip supports both plating detail and faster general dispensing
• Lightweight plastic construction is easy to handle during continuous service
• Larger capacity reduces mid-service refill interruptions
• Suitable for sauces, oils, dressings, and liquid condiments

These bottles are best suited to kitchen pass work, plating stations, prep areas, and front-of-house condiment service. For operations that go through high volumes of sauce, it's worth considering whether a smaller bottle with more frequent refills suits portion control better, or whether the larger format is the right fit for workflow.

If you're unsure which size or style works best for your operation, we're happy to help you think it through.

These Utopia nightlight holders are handmade from soda lime glass with a ribbed exterior and a clear blue finish. Sold in packs of twelve, they are a straightforward, practical option for operators looking to add consistent, low-cost ambient lighting across dining tables without committing to more elaborate tableware investments.

In a restaurant or events setting, uniformity matters. Because these holders come in a pack of twelve, they suit venues that need to dress a full section or a run of tables to a consistent standard. The ribbed glass diffuses candlelight softly, which works well in lower-light dining rooms, private dining spaces, and function suites where atmosphere is part of the offer.

• Handmade soda lime glass with ribbed exterior detailing
• Clear blue finish suitable for a range of table styling
• Dishwasher and glasswasher safe for straightforward turnaround between covers
• Pack of twelve supports consistent table dressing across a section
• Suitable for tealight candles in standard nightlight sizing

Being dishwasher and glasswasher safe is a practical consideration worth noting — glass holders that cannot go through the wash cycle create additional handling steps during service turnaround, so this matters more than it might initially appear in a busy covers environment.

These are well suited to restaurants, hotels, wedding and event venues, and private dining operators. For venues running very high covers or outdoor settings where breakage rates are higher, it is worth considering whether a more durable or heavier-gauge alternative would be more cost-effective over time.

If you are dressing a larger venue or want to discuss quantities and whether these suit your table setting requirements, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Cole & Mason Capstan is a clear acrylic pepper mill designed for table service in restaurants, hotels, and catering environments. It is a straightforward, well-made mill — constructed from transparent acrylic so guests and staff can see at a glance how much pepper remains, reducing the chance of an empty mill reaching a table mid-service.

The ceramic grinding mechanism is the detail worth noting here. Ceramic holds its edge considerably better than plastic grinding components, which can dull over time and produce inconsistent grind results. For a front-of-house item that will be picked up and used repeatedly across multiple sittings each day, that consistency matters. Cole & Mason back the grinding mechanism with a lifetime guarantee, which is a reasonable indicator of confidence in the component.

From a practical table service perspective, the Capstan offers a few clear advantages:

• Transparent acrylic body allows quick visual stock checks during service
• Ceramic grinding mechanism delivers consistent grind quality over time
• Compact size suits most table layouts without dominating place settings
• Lightweight enough for comfortable guest handling
• Cole & Mason branding presents a recognisable, reputable name at the table

This mill is best suited to mid-range and quality casual dining operations where presentation and reliability matter but a premium-weight metal mill is not required. For higher-volume or more upscale settings where durability and table presence are a greater priority, it is worth considering a heavier-duty alternative from the Cole & Mason range.

If you are equipping a number of covers and want to make sure you are selecting the right style and quantity for your service, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

This APS cruet is a straightforward, well-made table service piece designed to hold oil or vinegar for diner use. The body is clear glass, allowing guests to see the contents at a glance, and the lid is stainless steel, keeping presentation consistent and professional across a table setting.

For front-of-house teams, the practical benefits are simple but worth noting:

• Clear glass body lets staff and guests identify the contents without removing the lid
• Stainless steel lid resists corrosion and wipes clean quickly between services
• Slim cylindrical profile fits comfortably on laid tables without dominating the setting
• Lightweight construction at 193g makes handling and refilling straightforward during busy service
• Suitable for daily front-of-house use in restaurants, bistros, and casual dining environments

There are no installation requirements for a piece like this, though it is worth considering how cruets are managed within your service flow. High-turnover covers may benefit from having additional units in rotation so refilling does not slow table resets. The glass construction is durable in normal service conditions, though it requires the usual care expected of any glassware on a busy floor.

This cruet is well suited to independent restaurants, bistros, hotels, and café-restaurants where a clean, unfussy condiment presentation is expected. It works as a standalone piece or alongside matching table service items. If your operation requires cruets in larger quantities or you are equipping a full dining room, it is worth thinking through quantities and rotation before ordering.

If you have questions about quantities or how this fits into a broader table service setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Mitre Comfort Gingham Tablecloth is a square polyester cloth in a classic red gingham check, cut to suit standard square café and bistro tables. It is made from spun polyester, which gives it a soft feel in the hand while remaining practical to launder and maintain in a busy hospitality environment.

In day-to-day service, polyester cloths of this type hold up well through repeated commercial washing cycles without significant shrinkage or colour fade, provided they are laundered according to care instructions. The spun construction also means the fabric irons up reasonably flat, which is useful where presentation standards matter at the table.

Practically speaking, this cloth is a straightforward choice for operators who want a traditional gingham look without the upkeep demands of a cotton equivalent. Key operational points worth noting:

• Spun polyester construction washes and dries quickly between services
• Classic gingham check suits informal dining, café, and tea room settings
• Square format fits standard square table tops without overhang issues
• Lightweight at 210g, easy to handle and store in quantity
• Soft touch finish presents well at the table without starching

This cloth is well suited to cafés, tea rooms, and informal dining operations turning tables regularly through a service period. It is a single-size square format, so operators with rectangular or larger round tables will need to check the fit before ordering in volume. For sites requiring a heavier fabric weight or a more formal drape, alternative options in the range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure about quantities, mix of sizes, or how this cloth fits into a wider table-linen scheme, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Utopia Deco nightlight holders are machine-made soda lime glass tealight holders designed for use across restaurant, hotel, and banqueting table settings. The art deco styling gives each holder a structured, considered appearance that works well in both contemporary and more traditional dining environments, and the warm glow of a standard tealight candle is diffused evenly through the glass.

In front-of-house use, consistency matters — these holders are sold in packs of twelve, which helps operators maintain a uniform look across a section or a full dining room without needing to mix sources. The soda lime glass construction is straightforward to clean and resistant to the minor knocks and handling that come with daily service and clearing. They are not fragile decorative pieces; they are intended for regular use.

• Suitable for standard tealight candles
• Uniform art deco profile across the pack
• Soda lime glass — easy to clean and practical for daily service
• Pack of 12 supports consistent table presentation

These holders are well suited to restaurants, hotels, wine bars, and event catering where ambient table lighting is part of the dining experience. They are not intended for outdoor use or environments where glassware is subject to significant impact risk.

If you are setting up a larger dining room or want to discuss quantities across multiple table settings, the team are happy to help you work out what you need.

A plate ring is a simple but practical piece of table service equipment used to hold plated dishes steady during brief holding periods on the pass or in temporary storage ahead of service. This version from Vogue is made from polycarbonate, making it lightweight and easy to handle in a busy kitchen environment.

In practice, plate rings are most commonly used to stack covered plates safely — keeping prepped dishes organised and stable while waiting to go out to the floor. They work in conjunction with a separate plate cover, which is sold separately, and are suited to both hot and cold plated food.

Polycarbonate is a sensible material choice for this application. It withstands the knocks of a working kitchen, is straightforward to clean, and is considerably lighter than stainless steel alternatives, which matters when front-of-house staff are moving stacks of plates at pace.

• Keeps plated dishes stable and organised on the pass
• Suitable for use with hot or cold prepped food
• Lightweight polycarbonate construction for easy handling
• Easy to clean and maintain in a commercial setting

These rings are a staple in restaurant, hotel banqueting, and hospitality operations where plated food needs to be held briefly before service. They are particularly useful in high-volume covers environments where the pass gets busy and organisation matters. For operations requiring covers and rings in volume, it is worth considering how these fit into your broader table service setup.

If you are putting together a table service solution and are unsure about quantities or compatibility with your existing plate covers, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

This is a standard squeeze bottle made from flexible polyethylene, designed for dispensing and portioning sauces in a commercial kitchen or front-of-house setting. The clear body lets staff see contents and remaining volume at a glance, and the wide neck makes refilling straightforward without the need for a funnel.

In day-to-day service, bottles like this are most useful where consistent portioning matters — plating sauces, dressings, and condiments in a kitchen pass, or on a counter where staff are working quickly. The soft polyethylene construction allows controlled dispensing with light hand pressure, which helps reduce over-pouring during busy periods.

• Clear body for quick visual stock checks during service
• Wide neck simplifies refilling and speeds up changeover
• Flexible polyethylene gives controlled, one-handed dispensing
• Screw-top closure reduces spillage during storage and transport
• Suitable for both kitchen plating use and counter-top condiment service

One practical point worth noting: the nozzle tip as supplied is designed for decorating and detail work. For general sauce dispensing, the nozzle will need to be trimmed to widen the opening — a straightforward step, but worth knowing before putting the bottle into service.

These bottles are well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, burger operations, and kitchen pass stations where a reliable, easy-to-clean dispensing solution is needed. For very high-volume or heated sauce applications, a purpose-built dispenser or pump system may be worth considering instead.

If you are equipping a new station or have questions about quantities or alternatives, the team is happy to help you choose the right setup.

The Churchill Alchemy Wood Small Geo Deli Board is an acacia wood serving board designed for front-of-house table service. Each board includes a small recessed area shaped to hold a ramekin or sauce pot securely, making it a practical choice for deli-style dishes, burgers, sandwiches, and light bites where a condiment or garnish is served alongside the main item. Boards are supplied in packs of four, which suits operators equipping a section or standardising presentation across a floor.

Acacia is a dense, close-grained hardwood that holds up reasonably well under regular service use. The boards carry a food-safe lacquer finish that seals the surface, limits moisture absorption, and makes wiping down between covers straightforward. Like all wooden serving ware, they are not dishwasher-safe and should be hand-washed and dried promptly to preserve the finish over time.

In practical terms, these boards offer a few clear advantages for table service operations:

• Integral bowl recess keeps ramekins and sauce pots stable during plate runs
• Acacia grain gives a natural, unfussy presentation suited to casual dining menus
• Food-safe lacquer simplifies between-cover cleaning and supports hygiene standards
• Compact footprint works well on smaller covers and tighter table settings
• Pack-of-four format makes it straightforward to stock a consistent section

These boards are well suited to casual dining venues, gastro pubs, cafés, and deli-style concepts where a natural wood aesthetic fits the brand. They are not intended for hot food placed directly from the kitchen, and the surface is not appropriate for carving or heavy cutting. For operations needing a larger serving area, the Alchemy Wood range includes bigger format boards worth considering.

If you are putting together a table service scheme and want to talk through which board sizes and formats work for your menu, the team is happy to help.

This salt and pepper set from Olympia consists of a mill and a shaker finished in a gloss black coating over a wooden body. The mill uses a ceramic grinding mechanism that can be adjusted to produce either a coarse or a fine grind, giving guests control over seasoning at the table.

For everyday table service in restaurants, cafés, bistros, and hotels, sets like these are straightforward workhorses. They are refillable, easy to wipe down between covers, and the ceramic mechanism holds up well to regular daily use without corroding or dulling the way some metal mechanisms can over time.

• Adjustable ceramic grinder for coarse or fine seasoning
• Gloss black finish sits cleanly against most table décor
• Wooden construction keeps the set lightweight and easy to handle
• Refillable design reduces ongoing consumable costs
• Compact footprint suits small covers without cluttering the table

There are no installation requirements for table accessories of this kind, though it is worth considering how many covers you are turning and whether you need a larger stock of sets to keep tables dressed consistently through a busy service. For high-volume operations running multiple sittings, having a sufficient rotation of sets so that refilling does not interrupt service is worth planning for.

These sets suit most sit-down hospitality settings — restaurants, hotel dining rooms, gastropubs, and cafés. If your operation requires a heavier-duty or larger-capacity mill for tableside use, alternatives are available within the range.

If you have questions about quantities or want guidance on what works well for your covers and service style, the team is happy to help.

This is a woven wicker bread basket from Olympia, finished in a natural dark tone. It is designed for presenting bread rolls, sliced loaves, or similar items at the table or on a buffet counter. The dark wicker finish gives a traditional, rustic appearance that works well in a range of dining settings, from pub restaurants to hotel breakfast services.

In practice, wicker baskets like this are a reliable choice for front-of-house bread service. They are lightweight enough to handle comfortably during service and presentable enough to place directly on the table or counter without additional dressing. The dark finish tends to show less wear and soiling than pale natural wicker over time, which is a practical consideration in busy service environments.

• Traditional dark wicker finish suits casual dining and buffet settings
• Lightweight construction makes table-side handling straightforward
• Suitable for bread rolls, sliced loaves, chips, or wrapped items
• Sold singly, allowing you to order the quantity that matches your cover count
• The 360mm width accommodates a generous bread service for shared dining

Being a wicker product, it is not suitable for dishwasher cleaning. A dry brush or light wipe down is the appropriate method of care. It should not be used for wet or heavily sauced items. If durability under very heavy daily use is a priority, a pressed metal or coated wire alternative may be worth considering instead.

This basket is well suited to casual dining restaurants, gastropubs, hotel breakfast buffets, and café counter displays. It is sold as a single unit, which suits operators who want to build or replenish their cover count gradually.

If you are unsure how many baskets you need for your cover count or layout, or whether wicker suits your front-of-house requirements, we are happy to talk it through.

The Churchill Alchemy paddle board is a handled melamine serving board finished in a distressed wood effect. At 450mm in length, it sits comfortably between a compact sharing plate and a full charcuterie board, making it a practical choice for table service, buffet stations, and informal dining formats where food is presented centrally or passed around the table.

In a service environment, melamine earns its place through consistency and durability. Unlike genuine timber, it will not warp, crack, or absorb moisture through repeated use and washing — which matters when boards are cycling through service and the dishwasher multiple times a day. The distressed wood finish gives the visual warmth of natural timber without the maintenance overhead, and holds up well under the daily handling that would quickly age a real wood board.

The handled design makes a practical difference during busy service. Staff can carry and place the board single-handed without touching the serving surface, which is both more hygienic and more efficient when covers are moving quickly. Key operational points worth noting:

• Melamine construction resists warping, cracking, and moisture absorption
• Handled design supports single-handed carry without contact with the serving surface
• Distressed wood finish suits rustic, gastropub, and informal dining aesthetics
• Dishwasher safe for reliable turnaround in commercial operations
• Not suitable for direct hot food service from an oven or open heat sources

These boards are well suited to gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, café-bars, and buffet operations that need a consistent, presentable serving format without the fragility of natural materials. They are not designed for use under direct heat or open flames.

If you are weighing up sizes or quantities for your service format, we are glad to talk it through before you place an order.
