Table Service

The Cole & Mason Forest salt mill is a table service staple built around the brand's well-regarded grinding mechanism. Finished in dark wood stained beech, these mills are sold as a pack of four — a practical quantity for equipping a dining room, setting aside backups, or standardising across multiple tables in one order.

Cole & Mason mills are commonly found in restaurants, hotels, and café settings where consistent seasoning and a presentable table appearance matter. The grinding mechanism allows adjustment between coarse and fine outputs, giving guests control over how much seasoning they apply. The dark wood finish suits a range of interior styles without drawing attention to itself — which is generally what you want from table service accessories.

From an operational standpoint, a few things are worth noting:

• Adjustable grind coarseness gives guests reliable control at the table
• Dark wood stained beech finish is robust and presentable under regular handling
• Lifetime guarantee on the central grinding mechanism reduces long-term replacement cost
• Pack-of-four format suits restocking or new cover setups efficiently
• Consistent sizing across the range makes matching salt and pepper mills straightforward

These mills are suited to front-of-house use in restaurants, bistros, hotels, and similar settings where table presentation is part of the service offer. They are not heavy-duty grinding equipment and are designed for condiment service rather than kitchen prep use. For very high-turnover operations, it is worth considering how quickly mills cycle through salt and factor that into how many you keep in rotation.

If you are equipping a full dining room or want to discuss quantities and matching pepper mills, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

This Olympia napkin dispenser is a compact, double-sided table or countertop unit finished in black stainless steel. It holds a standard stack of napkins accessible from either side, making it straightforward to use in both self-service and table-set environments.

In a busy restaurant or bar, a well-placed napkin dispenser reduces the need for staff to restock individual place settings during service. The dual side-load design means diners or staff can access napkins from either side of the unit, which works well on shared tables or counter tops where guests may be seated on both sides. The rubber feet keep it stable on smooth surfaces without marking the furniture.

Stainless steel construction holds up reliably to the knocks and cleaning routines of daily commercial service, and the black finish suits most front-of-house settings without drawing attention to itself. It is easy to wipe down and refill between services.

There are no installation requirements — it simply sits on the surface. At 370g it is light enough to move around easily, and the compact footprint means it fits on most table or bar top layouts without taking up disproportionate space.

This dispenser is well suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, pub dining rooms, and bar counters where a tidy, functional napkin solution is needed without the complexity of a wall-mounted unit. For very high-volume canteen or quick-service environments where larger capacity is a priority, it is worth considering a higher-capacity alternative.

If you are fitting out a number of covers and want to confirm the right dispenser style for your setting, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Spyro sauce boat is a piece of tableware from Steelite's award-winning Spyro range, designed for professional table service environments. Each piece is finished in white with a subtly embossed swirling detail that gives the range a considered, contemporary appearance without veering into heavy ornamentation. The 340ml capacity makes it a practical size for individual or shared sauce service across a range of dining formats.

In everyday service, the Spyro range performs reliably under the demands of a professional kitchen environment. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction provides a denser, harder body than standard vitrified china, which translates to better resistance to chipping, staining, and thermal shock — all relevant concerns when pieces are cycling through dishwashers multiple times per day. The glaze is robust enough to maintain its finish under sustained commercial use, which matters in settings where presentation is part of the guest experience.

• Alumina vitrified ceramic body offers stronger chip resistance than standard vitrified china
• Thermal shock resistance supports repeated dishwasher cycling without crazing or cracking
• Stain-resistant glaze helps maintain a clean, professional appearance over time
• Embossed Spyro detail adds a refined finish suitable for fine dining and banqueting
• Sold in packs of six, making it practical for stocking service stations consistently

These sauce boats are well suited to fine dining, hotel restaurants, banqueting operations, and any front-of-house environment where tableware presentation is taken seriously. The pack-of-six format suits operations that need to maintain consistent cover numbers without over-ordering. For higher-volume operations requiring larger quantities or a fuller matching range, it is worth discussing your overall cover count and service style before ordering.

If you are building out a full table service specification or matching sauce boats to an existing Spyro collection, the team are happy to help you work through quantities and compatibility before you commit.

This is a small paper bread basket from Pujadas, sized at 130 x 130mm and finished in brown. It is designed for table service use — typically for presenting bread rolls, sliced bread, or similar accompaniments at the point of service.

In practice, these baskets are commonly used across cafes, bistros, restaurants, and hospitality venues where a consistent, coordinated table presentation matters. The paper construction keeps things lightweight and hygienic, and the disposable nature suits operations that want to remove the need to wash and turn around service ware between covers.

• Suits bread rolls, sliced bread, and small table accompaniments
• Lightweight and hygienic for front-of-house table service
• Consistent presentation across multiple covers
• Available in brown, black, and grey for coordinated tablescaping
• Well suited to casual dining, cafes, and hospitality buffet service

It is worth considering your service volume and presentation style before ordering. For high-turnover operations serving large numbers of covers, the disposable format works well — but for more formal settings where a reusable wicker or wire basket is expected, a different product type may be more appropriate.

If you are putting together a broader table service setup or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Steelite Modern Twist table runner is a silicone table accessory designed for use in commercial dining environments. Made from food-safe silicone, it sits flat on the table without curling or creasing, and is sold in a box of three.

In front-of-house service, consistency matters. Unlike cloth linen, silicone runners require no ironing, hold their shape regardless of how they've been stored, and return flat to the table every time. They wipe down quickly between covers and can go through a commercial dishwasher without degrading — practical advantages during high-turnover service periods.

• Lays flat without curling — no pressing or steaming required
• Commercial dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround between covers
• Food-safe silicone construction — BPA free
• Wipes clean quickly for fast table resets
• Consistent appearance across multiple tables and services

There are no special installation or storage requirements. The runners stack or roll easily and take up minimal space in a linen cupboard or service station. Being silicone, they are unaffected by humidity or temperature fluctuations in a kitchen or dining room environment. A box of three makes it straightforward to keep consistent cover numbers across a section.

These runners suit restaurants, hotel dining rooms, cafés, and event catering operations looking for a low-maintenance alternative to cloth. They work particularly well in venues with high table turnover where linen laundry time and cost is a consideration. For larger venues or different table configurations, broader or longer runner formats may be more appropriate.

If you're unsure which size or format suits your table layout, the team is happy to help you work it through before you order.

This Olympia chip basket is a compact, square-format stainless steel serving basket with a long handle, designed for presenting small side orders at the table. It is commonly used for chips, bread, tapas portions, or other small sides where a casual, informal presentation style suits the operation.

In a busy service environment, stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated use and the handling that comes with high table-turn covers. The long handle makes it straightforward for front-of-house staff to place and retrieve the basket cleanly, and the open-frame design lets excess oil drain away from fried items rather than pooling beneath them.

• Stainless steel construction stands up to heavy daily use
• Open frame allows drainage, keeping fried food crispier on the pass
• Compact footprint suits smaller plates and sharing boards
• Dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service clearing
• Square format offers a point of difference from standard round baskets

Being dishwasher safe is a practical consideration worth noting for operations where throughput of tableware matters — there is no need to hand-wash between services. The lightweight stainless steel also means these stack and store easily when not in use.

This basket is well suited to casual dining, pub kitchens, tapas bars, and bistros where an informal table presentation fits the style of service. It is a small-capacity piece, appropriate for individual portion sides rather than sharing quantities. Operations serving larger shared portions may want to consider a larger basket from the same range.

If you are unsure whether this size works for your portion sizes or plate presentation, our team are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia combined salt and pepper mill is a compact, dual-function table condiment dispenser made from acrylic. The upper chamber holds fine salt, dispensed by inverting and shaking, while the lower section houses a pepper grinder with an adjustable mechanism for coarse or fine results. Both functions are contained within a single slim unit.

For front-of-house operations where table space is at a premium — particularly in smaller restaurants, cafés, and bistros — a combined unit reduces clutter and simplifies table setting. Rather than placing two separate items on every cover, one piece handles both condiments. The acrylic construction keeps the contents visible so staff can monitor levels and refill before service without needing to check each unit individually.

• Single unit replaces separate salt and pepper dispensers
• Adjustable grind setting suits different pepper preferences
• Transparent acrylic body allows easy visual stock checks
• Lightweight and easy to handle for both guests and staff
• Compact footprint suits small table covers and counter displays

This is a straightforward table accessory suited to low-to-medium cover operations. It is worth bearing in mind that acrylic, while practical and visually clean, is less robust than stainless steel alternatives — venues with high table turnover or where condiment units are handled frequently may prefer a heavier-duty option. Refilling requires the two sections to be separated, which is simple enough but worth factoring into pre-service routines.

Well suited to independent restaurants, cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and event catering where a neat, space-saving table presentation is a priority. For operations requiring a more durable finish or a higher-end aesthetic, it is worth exploring alternative materials within the range.

If you are unsure whether this suits your table setup or service style, we are happy to talk it through.

This rectangular paddle board from Olympia is a straightforward serving piece made from acacia wood, with metal handles at each end to make carrying and presenting dishes easier for front-of-house staff. The board is well sized for sharing plates, sandwiches, pastries, canapés, or small main course portions, and suits the kind of informal, rustic presentation that has become common across casual dining, gastropubs, and café settings.

Acacia is a practical choice for food service use. It is a dense, close-grained hardwood that holds up reasonably well in busy table service environments, resisting surface marking better than softer woods. The metal handles are a useful detail — they keep the board stable when being carried to and from the table and make it easy to handle during a busy service.

• Natural acacia wood surface suits informal and rustic presentation styles
• Metal handles at each end support stable, comfortable carrying during service
• Generous board area accommodates sharing portions and multi-item presentations
• Close-grained hardwood resists surface marking from normal food service use
• Straightforward to wipe down between covers during service

Like all wooden serving boards, this piece requires hand washing and should not be submerged in water or put through a commercial dishwasher, as prolonged moisture exposure will cause the wood to warp or crack over time. Periodic oiling with a food-safe oil will help maintain the surface and extend the board's working life.

This board is well suited to cafés, bistros, gastropubs, and casual dining restaurants looking for a natural, unfussy serving piece. If your operation runs very high covers and boards are handled repeatedly throughout a long service, it is worth considering how your team will care for them between uses.

If you are unsure how many boards you need for your covers, or whether this size works for your menu format, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

These Olympia ramekins are made from vitrified stoneware with a glazed finish designed to replicate the warm, earthy appearance of traditional terracotta. The result is a piece that sits naturally on a tapas board or mezze spread without looking out of place alongside more rustic serving ware, while still offering the practical durability expected of professional tableware.

In busy table service, ramekins take a fair amount of handling — stacked in the kitchen, passed through dishwashers, and placed in front of guests multiple times a day. Vitrified stoneware is well suited to that kind of continuous use. It resists chipping better than standard earthenware and holds up reliably under the thermal cycling that comes with regular commercial washing.

From a practical standpoint, these ramekins work across a range of service contexts:

• Tapas and mezze service, individual portion accompaniments
• Sauces, dips, dressings, and condiments on the pass
• Dessert portions and small amuse-bouche presentations
• Mise en place prep bowls during kitchen service

The 77mm diameter makes them a standard single-portion size, easy to stack and store in quantity. They are sold in packs of six, which suits operations that want to build cover sets without committing to large case quantities upfront.

These are best suited to restaurants, bistros, and casual dining venues where the rustic aesthetic fits the style of service. For higher-volume operations or venues running more formal tableware, alternative finishes and sizes are available across the range.

If you are putting together a tableware set or need to match an existing service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

These oval black polypropylene food baskets from Olympia are a practical choice for casual dining operations that want to serve chips, burgers, fried chicken and similar dishes in a relaxed, diner-style format. Made from plastic, they are lightweight, easy to handle during busy service, and straightforward to clean between covers.

In a working environment, the appeal is largely operational. Baskets like these remove the need for plates on certain menu items, speed up table setting, and suit fast-turnaround casual dining well. They work equally well on restaurant tables, in pub dining rooms, or at pop-up and events catering where informality is part of the offer. Lined with greaseproof paper, they keep surfaces clean and help presentation stay consistent across a shift.

• Durable polypropylene construction handles repeated daily use
• Lightweight design suits fast table setting and clearing
• Compatible with standard greaseproof liners for hygienic service
• Oval shape accommodates a range of portion sizes and dishes
• Black finish suits informal and themed dining environments

These baskets are not suitable for hot-holding or oven use, and are intended purely for service presentation. They are sold in packs of six, which works well for smaller operations or as a top-up to an existing set. Higher-volume sites running large covers may want to consider buying in greater quantities to ensure enough rotation through washing.

If you are putting together a table service scheme or updating your casual dining presentation, the team are happy to talk through what quantities and formats tend to work well in practice.

This salt and pepper mill set from Olympia is a straightforward, practical addition to restaurant, café, or hotel table service. The mills are constructed from dark wood and fitted with ceramic grinding mechanisms, which are a sensible choice for table use — ceramic resists corrosion from salt contact and tends to hold its edge longer than metal grinding components under regular daily use.

For front-of-house teams, consistency matters. Guests expect mills that operate smoothly without fuss, and the ceramic mechanism here delivers a reliable grind without the stiffness or inconsistency that can appear in cheaper alternatives over time. The dark wood finish presents well on a laid table and holds up to the handling that comes with busy covers.

• Ceramic grinding mechanism resists corrosion from salt contact
• Dark wood construction suited to casual dining and more formal settings
• Compact footprint works on most table layouts without crowding place settings
• Suitable for daily use across multiple service periods

These mills are best suited to restaurants, cafés, bistros, and hotel dining rooms looking for a presentable, durable set at a sensible price point. They are not intended for high-volume banqueting use where rapid refilling across large numbers of covers would be a priority — for that, dedicated shakers or larger-capacity mills may be more practical.

If you are equipping a new dining room or refreshing existing table service and want to talk through quantities or presentation options, the team is happy to help.

The Vogue 24oz squeeze bottle is a straightforward sauce dispensing bottle made from clear polyethylene, fitted with a three-nozzle cap rather than the single-nozzle design found on standard bottles. It holds 681ml and is a common piece of smallwares kit used across fast-paced catering operations for sauces, dressings, and condiments.

The triple nozzle design allows three lines to be dispensed simultaneously, which is useful on high-throughput plating stations or anywhere speed of application matters — think burger assembly, chip shops, or busy café counters. The clear body lets kitchen staff see stock levels at a glance without opening the bottle, which helps avoid running dry mid-service. The polyethylene construction is lightweight, easy to wash, and holds up well to the routine knocks and drops of a working kitchen environment.

• Three simultaneous streams speed up sauce application on busy plating lines
• Clear body gives an immediate visual check of remaining contents
• Lightweight and easy to handle during fast-paced service
• Polyethylene resists staining and cleans down quickly
• Suitable for sauces, dressings, oils, and similar pourable condiments

This bottle is best suited to operations where speed of service is important and multiple portions are being plated in quick succession. For lower-volume use or where a single, more precise stream is preferred, a standard single-nozzle bottle is likely a better fit. It is worth confirming the nozzle suits the viscosity of the sauces you intend to use — very thick condiments may not dispense as freely through the smaller apertures.

If you are putting together a plating station or reviewing your front-of-house smallwares, our team is happy to talk through what works well in practice.

These rectangular melamine placemats from Lady Clare are a practical table service item designed for use in restaurants, hotels, and other hospitality settings. Made from melamine with a cork backing, they sit firmly on tablecloths and bare surfaces alike, providing a stable base for place settings while protecting the table from scratching and marking.

The cork underside is the detail that matters most in a busy dining room — it prevents the mat from sliding when plates are set down or guests move items around, which helps maintain a tidy table presentation throughout a service. The melamine surface itself is straightforward to wipe down between covers, and the burgundy finish suits traditional or formal dining environments well.

• Melamine surface resists marking and wipes clean quickly between covers
• Cork backing prevents movement on both linen and hard table surfaces
• Burgundy colourway suits formal or traditional dining settings
• Lightweight and easy to stack and store when not in service
• Consistent sizing supports neat, uniform table presentation

These mats are well suited to front-of-house teams looking for a reliable, low-maintenance table accessory. They work equally well on bare wooden tables and over tablecloths. Lady Clare produces this mat in additional colours and sizes, so if burgundy does not match your scheme or the format does not suit your covers, there are alternatives within the range worth considering.

If you are equipping a new dining room or refreshing your table service setup and want to discuss what works best for your style of service, the team is happy to help.

The Olympia Table Tidy is a straightforward condiment and cutlery caddy made from galvanised steel. It provides a compact, organised holder for napkins, condiments and cutlery on the table, keeping everything within easy reach for guests without cluttering the surface.

Galvanised steel gives this tidy reasonable durability for everyday front-of-house use. It is particularly well suited to outdoor and covered terrace settings where light moisture exposure is a practical concern, as the galvanised finish resists rust better than plain steel alternatives. The carry handle makes it easy to move between tables during service or to clear away quickly at the end of a session.

• Resists rust — practical for outdoor dining areas and beer gardens
• Carry handle allows quick repositioning between tables during service
• Compact footprint suits smaller café tables and bar tops
• Straightforward to wipe down between covers

It is worth noting that this is a light-duty table accessory rather than a heavy commercial-grade item. For high-turnover operations or venues putting tidies through frequent dishwasher cycles, a stainless steel alternative may prove more resilient over the longer term. This piece is best suited to venues looking for a cost-effective, presentable solution for casual dining, pub gardens, or café table service.

If you are equipping a number of tables and want to talk through options, the team are happy to help you choose the right style and quantity for your operation.

The Peugeot Bistro is a compact 100mm wooden salt mill finished in black, designed for front-of-house table service in restaurants, cafés, and bistros. It features Peugeot's stainless steel grinding mechanism, which is adjustable to deliver anything from a coarse grind to a finer texture depending on the preference of the cover or the dish being served.

At 120g, the mill is light enough to handle comfortably during service yet substantial enough to sit steadily on a table without feeling insubstantial. The classic bistro form works well across a range of dining settings, from casual daytime cafés to more considered evening covers, without drawing attention away from the table setting itself.

• Adjustable grind from coarse to fine to suit different service requirements
• Stainless steel mechanism resists corrosion from salt contact over time
• Compact 100mm height suits smaller table settings and tray service
• Wooden body is straightforward to wipe down and maintain
• Consistent, recognisable Peugeot mill form familiar to front-of-house teams

As a table service item, practical considerations are modest — the mill requires no installation and no power source. It is worth noting that at 4 inches this is one of the smaller sizes in the Peugeot Bistro range, which suits intimate covers and tighter table layouts well. For larger tables or where a more prominent presence is preferred, a taller version of the same mill may be worth considering.

This mill is well suited to independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, café-bars, and any front-of-house setting where a reliable, well-made salt mill is needed without excessive bulk. If you are equipping a full dining room and would like guidance on matching pepper mills or coordinating table service items, the team is happy to help you put together the right combination.

The Utopia Rita nightlight holder is a machine-made soda lime glass tealight holder with an art deco-influenced profile. Sold in packs of twelve, it is designed for use in restaurants, hotels, and any dining environment where consistent, understated table presentation matters.

In a busy front-of-house setting, durability and ease of handling are as important as appearance. The Rita holder is built to withstand regular service cycles — clearing, cleaning, and resetting across multiple covers without the fragility concerns associated with thinner glassware. The soda lime glass construction is resistant to the knocks of everyday table service.

From an operational standpoint, a few practical points are worth noting:

• Machine-made glass offers consistent sizing across the pack, which matters when presenting uniform table settings
• The open-top design makes removing spent tealights and wiping out any residue straightforward
• Sold in packs of twelve, which suits batch restocking and reduces handling time during setup
• Soda lime glass is dishwasher-compatible in most commercial glasswasher programmes

These holders are best suited to mid-range and upmarket dining rooms, hotel restaurants, event and banqueting operations, and any venue where a considered table aesthetic is part of the guest experience. For higher-volume or outdoor settings where breakage risk is a concern, a more robust or weighted holder may be worth considering.

If you are specifying table accessories across a larger site or want to discuss how these fit into a broader table setting scheme, our team is happy to help you think it through.

The Pujadas 205mm round basket is a metal serving basket designed for front-of-house food presentation in cafes, restaurants, and hospitality operations. It sits within Pujadas's established range of round baskets and is commonly used for serving bread, chips, sides, and sharing portions directly to the table or across a buffet counter.

In a busy service environment, smallwares like this earn their place through reliability and practicality rather than complexity. The round format works well for a variety of portion types, and the metal construction handles repeated handling and washing without warping or deteriorating the way cheaper plastic alternatives can. It presents food cleanly without the need for additional crockery, which suits casual dining and sharing-plate menus particularly well.

• Suitable for bread, chips, sides, and sharing portions
• Metal construction holds up to regular front-of-house use
• Round format works across a range of portion sizes and menu styles
• Appropriate for table service, buffet, and counter presentation
• Part of a wider range of sizes for consistent table presentation

There are no installation requirements for a basket of this type, though it is worth considering how it integrates with your existing tableware in terms of finish and scale. The 205mm diameter suits individual or small shared portions; if your operation serves larger sharing dishes or family-style platters, a larger basket from the same range may be more appropriate.

This basket is well suited to cafes, casual dining restaurants, pub kitchens, and hospitality buffet setups where presentation matters but practicality cannot be compromised. It is a straightforward, proven piece of table serviceware that does its job without fuss.

If you are equipping a full table service setup or building a consistent display across a buffet, it is worth having a conversation about which sizes and quantities will work best for your menu and covers — we are happy to help you work that through.

The Dudson Evo Jet tapas dish is a vitrified stoneware piece designed to complement informal and sharing-style table service. The Evo range is finished to resemble hand-thrown pottery, giving it a textured, tactile quality that sits naturally alongside rustic, casual dining, and contemporary small-plates concepts. The jet colourway provides a dark, neutral base that presents food cleanly without competing with the dish itself.

Vitrified stoneware is a practical choice for commercial table service — it offers a balance of durability and aesthetic warmth that standard porcelain doesn't always achieve. It holds up well to the rigours of a busy restaurant environment, including repeated dishwasher cycles, stacking, and daily handling. At 159mm, this dish is well suited to individual tapas portions, amuse-bouche, bar snacks, or accompaniments, making it a versatile addition to a sharing menu format.

• Vitrified stoneware construction for durability in daily commercial use
• Hand-thrown appearance suits informal, rustic, and small-plates dining concepts
• Jet finish provides a clean, neutral backdrop for food presentation
• Practical 159mm size for individual tapas or snack portions
• Supplied in a pack of 6, suitable for building service cover

As with all stoneware, it is worth considering that the material is marginally heavier than standard porcelain, which is a factor when front-of-house staff are handling multiple pieces during service. It is also sensible to check compatibility with your existing tableware before ordering across a full dining room.

This dish is well suited to restaurants, bars, and casual dining operations running a tapas or sharing plates format. If your operation requires a larger serving piece or higher-volume cover quantities, there are other sizes and formats within the Evo range worth considering.

If you're building a tableware specification or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This all-in-one table covering from Dena combines a fitted top cloth and pleated skirting in a single piece, designed to fit standard 6ft folding banquet tables without the need for clips, weights, or separate components. The plissé-style skirting gives a neat, consistent finish that suits formal dining, events, and function settings where presentation matters.

Made from polyester, it holds its shape through regular use and repeated laundering — a practical consideration for venues running frequent events. The fabric is lightweight at under a kilogram, which makes handling, folding, and storing straightforward even when covers are being turned around between sittings.

The all-in-one construction removes the fiddly step of attaching skirting separately, which speeds up room set-up and helps maintain a consistent look across a large number of tables without relying on staff to align clips correctly each time.

• No clips or fixings required — simply place over the table
• Consistent pleated finish across all tables without additional adjustment
• Lightweight polyester washes and dries reliably between events
• Reduces set-up time when dressing large numbers of tables

This cover is sized specifically for 6ft folding banquet tables. It will not fit smaller or non-standard table dimensions, so it is worth confirming your table sizes before ordering in volume. For venues using a mix of table sizes, alternative sizes may be available in the range.

Well suited to hotels, banqueting venues, conference centres, and event caterers who need a clean, professional table presentation with minimal set-up effort. If you are outfitting a large event space and want to discuss quantities or colour availability, the team is happy to help.

The Beaumont Black Napkin Holder is a straightforward plastic dispenser designed to keep folded napkins tidy and accessible on a dining table, counter or front bar. It holds napkins in a compact upright format, keeping them presentable during service without taking up unnecessary space.

For everyday front-of-house use, it does the job reliably. The black finish suits casual dining rooms, café counters, and bar tops where a clean, unfussy look is preferred. The plastic construction keeps the weight low, which is practical when tables are reset frequently during a busy service.

• Compact footprint suits smaller table settings and counter displays
• Black finish coordinates with most front-of-house colour schemes
• Lightweight plastic makes it easy to handle during table resets
• Open design allows quick napkin replenishment mid-service
• Suitable for folded paper napkins in standard sizes

There are no installation requirements — it sits on any flat surface and needs no fixing. It is worth noting this is a light-duty piece suited to lower-volume or informal settings. Operations with high table turnover or outdoor covers may want to consider a weighted or more robust alternative.

This holder suits cafés, casual dining restaurants, hotel breakfast operations, and bar setups where a simple, tidy napkin presentation is needed. Napkins are not included. If you are equipping a larger number of covers or need something more substantial, it is worth having a conversation about what else is available in the range.

This Olympia acacia serving board is a straightforward, practical piece of table service kit designed for operators who want to present dishes directly from board to guest. Made from acacia wood, it has a warm, natural grain that fits comfortably with the kind of relaxed, food-forward presentation common in gastropubs, casual dining, and independent restaurants. The rounded profile gives it a slightly more refined look than a plain rectangular board.

The defining feature is the recessed circle cut into the board surface, sized to accept 70mm ramekins from the Olympia range. This keeps a sauce, dip, or condiment pot stable and positioned neatly alongside the main dish rather than sliding around during service — a small but genuinely useful detail when plates are being carried across a busy floor.

From a practical standpoint, acacia is a reasonably durable hardwood that holds up well in regular front-of-house use. It is worth noting that, like all wooden serving pieces, it should be hand-washed rather than put through a dishwasher, and occasional oiling will extend its life and appearance. At just over a kilogram, it has a solid feel without being cumbersome for floor staff to carry.

• Stable ramekin recess keeps condiment pots in place during service
• Acacia grain suits casual and gastropub-style presentation well
• Pairs with Olympia's existing ramekin range for a consistent table service look
• Rounded profile is practical to handle and store

This board suits lower-volume and independent operations looking to add a degree of presentation without significant cost. For high-turnover sites where boards are cycled through a dishwasher repeatedly, a slate or melamine alternative may be a more practical long-term choice.

If you're putting together a cohesive table service set or want to check ramekin compatibility before ordering, the team are happy to help.

The Olympia round cast iron sizzle platter is a straightforward piece of table service equipment designed for presenting sizzling dishes directly to the customer at the table. Cast iron construction means the platter retains heat effectively once pre-heated, allowing dishes to arrive and remain sizzling for longer after leaving the kitchen pass.

In a busy restaurant environment, that heat retention makes a practical difference — particularly during service periods when timing between kitchen and table can vary. The 220mm diameter suits individual portion sizes comfortably, making it a common choice for fajitas, grilled meats, steak dishes, and similar tableside presentations across casual dining, pub kitchens, and independent restaurants.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Retains heat well once pre-heated, keeping dishes sizzling at the table
• Cast iron construction is robust and suited to frequent, heavy daily use
• Compatible with wooden presentation bases for safe tableside service
• Simple to clean and maintain in a commercial kitchen environment
• At 1.5kg, it is substantial enough to sit stably during service

The platter is designed to be used with a wooden base to protect both the table surface and the server's hands during carrying — this is an important practical consideration if you are not already stocking compatible bases. It is worth confirming base compatibility before ordering to ensure a consistent presentation setup across your covers.

This 220mm size suits single-portion dishes well. If your menu includes larger sharing platters or you need a different diameter to match existing tableware, it is worth looking at other sizes in the range before committing.

If you are unsure whether this platter suits your menu format or service style, our team is happy to help you think it through.

This rectangular metal basket from Pujadas is a compact, practical serving vessel suited to front-of-house food presentation. At 230 x 100mm, it sits comfortably on a table setting without dominating the cover, making it a practical choice for bread service, chips, sides, or small sharing portions.

Pujadas produce a broad range of display and serving baskets, and this rectangular format is one of the more versatile options in the range. The metal construction gives it a clean, neutral appearance that works across a range of dining environments — from casual cafés and gastropubs to more formal restaurant settings — and it holds its presentation well throughout a busy service.

From an operational standpoint, baskets like this help streamline table service by allowing food to be portioned and presented consistently without the need for additional crockery. They are straightforward to stack and store between services, and the open construction makes them quick to clean.

• Suitable for bread, chips, sides, and small sharing portions
• Consistent presentation across covers without additional crockery
• Easy to stack and store when not in service
• Neutral metal finish suits a range of front-of-house styles
• Part of a wider Pujadas range in complementary shapes and sizes

This size works well for individual or small shared portions. If you're covering a buffet, larger table formats, or higher-volume service, the Pujadas range includes larger and differently shaped options that may suit your setup better.

If you're putting together a consistent presentation scheme across your tables or buffet, it's worth a conversation with us to make sure the sizing and format works across the range before you order.

The Bolsius Starlight is a wax-filled jar candle presented in a plain red glass container. It is a straightforward, unfussy table light designed to add a consistent, ambient glow to restaurant, hotel, or event covers without requiring specialist handling or maintenance during service.

In practical hospitality use, the 50-hour burn time means a single candle can run across many service sessions before needing replacement, which helps reduce the frequency of restocking and keeps per-cover costs manageable. The glass jar protects the flame from draughts reasonably well and provides a stable, self-contained unit that front-of-house staff can set and reset quickly between covers.

• Red glass jar provides a warm, consistent ambient light on the table
• 50-hour burn life reduces restocking frequency across service periods
• Contained jar format is stable and straightforward to handle during cover turnarounds
• Pack of 8 suits initial setup or topping up existing stock
• No accessories or holders required — ready to place as supplied

As a jar candle, it requires no separate holder and carries no gas or electrical installation requirements. The main practical consideration is compliance with your venue's fire risk assessment — open-flame candles are subject to venue policy and, in some settings, local fire authority guidance. It is worth confirming suitability with your insurers or duty manager before introducing any naked flame to a new environment.

This candle suits restaurants, bars, hotel dining rooms, and event caterers looking for a reliable, consistent table light in a simple format. For venues running very high cover numbers or longer unattended burn periods, it is worth considering whether a liquid wax or LED alternative might be more practical operationally.

If you are unsure which candle format suits your service style or cover volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This canvas bread basket from APS is designed for table service and buffet settings where keeping bread warm throughout service matters. The basket features a removable cherry stone cushion that sits in the base — once heated, it retains warmth and helps keep bread, rolls, or similar items at a comfortable serving temperature rather than cooling quickly on the table.

In practice, heated stone cushions perform well for the duration of a typical cover, making them a straightforward solution for restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining where bread is served as part of a set experience. The canvas construction is lightweight and easy to handle, and the neutral brown and beige colouring suits a range of table settings without being distracting.

• Canvas basket suitable for bread, rolls, and similar table service items
• Cherry stone cushion heats up to retain warmth during service
• Lightweight at 270g — easy for front-of-house staff to handle
• Neutral tones work across informal and semi-formal dining settings
• Suitable for buffet display as well as individual table service

It is worth noting that the cushion will gradually lose heat over time, so it is best suited to shorter service periods or covers where bread is presented and consumed relatively promptly. For extended buffet runs, a chafing-style or electrically heated bread solution may be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a larger buffet operation or need something better suited to high-volume service, we can help point you in the right direction — feel free to get in touch with the team.

These are straightforward glass vinegar shaker bottles, sold as a pack of twelve. Each bottle features a shaker top to help diners control the amount of vinegar dispensed — a practical detail that reduces waste and avoids over-seasoning at the table.

Glass construction gives a clean, presentable appearance on the table and makes it easy to see fill levels at a glance, so staff can spot and replace low bottles quickly during service without lifting every one. Glass also avoids the odour retention that can occur with some plastic alternatives over extended use.

• Shaker top gives customers controlled dispensing at the table
• Clear glass makes fill levels visible without removing the cap
• Sold as a pack of twelve — practical for initial setup or restocking
• Simple, unfussy design suits a range of casual dining environments

These bottles are well suited to fish and chip shops, cafés, pub dining rooms, and any casual dining environment where malt or spirit vinegar is offered as a condiment. They are a practical choice for operators setting up table service from scratch or replacing worn stock across multiple covers. For higher-volume sites or those looking for stainless alternatives that may withstand heavier handling, other formats are available.

If you are unsure of the right quantity or condiment range for your covers, the team are happy to help you work it out.

The Pujadas cone basket with ramekin holder is a metal display basket designed for table service and buffet presentation. The cone form holds portions upright for a neat, restaurant-style presentation, while the integrated ramekin holder allows a small dipping sauce or condiment pot to be served alongside — keeping the presentation contained and the table uncluttered.

In busy service environments, smallwares like this earn their place through consistency. The basket presents chips, bread, and sharing sides in a format that looks deliberate rather than thrown together, which matters when front-of-house teams are turning covers quickly and plating needs to be fast as well as tidy. The metal construction handles regular service use and wash cycles without the warping or cracking that can affect lower-grade plastic alternatives.

Practical advantages for day-to-day service include:

• Integrated ramekin holder keeps sauce portions neatly alongside the main serving
• Upright cone format suits chips, fries, bread sticks, and similar portions
• Metal construction is durable under regular commercial wash cycles
• Compact footprint suits smaller table covers and sharing boards
• Part of a wider Pujadas range, making it straightforward to build a consistent table service look

Pujadas produce this basket as part of a broader range of cone and display baskets in varying sizes and configurations. If you are equipping a larger operation or need a specific capacity or format, it is worth checking which option across the range best fits your portion size and service style.

If you are putting together a table service range and want to talk through which basket formats suit your menu and cover style, the team is happy to help.

These red plastic squeeze bottles from Thunder Group are a straightforward, practical solution for dispensing sauces, condiments, dressings, and similar liquids during table service or kitchen prep. Supplied in a pack of twelve, they are well suited to operations that need consistent stock across multiple stations or front-of-house tables.

The red colouring is a useful practical detail in busy kitchens where colour-coding by sauce type or allergen risk helps reduce the chance of cross-contamination or mix-ups during service. Squeeze bottles of this type are commonly used at burger bars, café counters, pizza prep lines, and anywhere that requires quick, controlled dispensing without the need for ladles or spoons.

• Red colour assists with colour-coded condiment or allergen management
• Squeeze-and-dispense design allows controlled, one-handed application
• Supplied as a pack of twelve, reducing per-unit cost for high-turnover sites
• Plastic construction makes them lightweight and practical for front-of-house use
• Easy to clean and refill between services

These bottles are a good match for casual dining, fast-food operations, and catering environments where durability and ease of use matter more than aesthetics. For sites with very high throughput or a need for larger-capacity bottles, it is worth considering whether a bigger format would reduce the frequency of refills during peak service.

If you are unsure which size or quantity best suits your operation, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Mitre Comfort Gingham Tablecloth is a square polyester cloth in a traditional red and white gingham pattern, sized to suit standard café and tea room tables. It is a straightforward, practical table linen option for operators who want a consistent, recognisable look without significant outlay on table dressing.

In a café or informal dining setting, gingham cloths like this one tend to work well precisely because they are unfussy. The pattern suits relaxed, all-day service environments and holds up visually even with regular rotation through an in-house laundry. The spun polyester construction is durable enough for frequent washing and irons out well, which matters when you are turning covers throughout a busy service period.

• Traditional gingham pattern suits casual dining and café environments
• Spun polyester fabric is practical for regular commercial laundering
• Square format suits standard café and bistro table sizes
• Easy to iron and maintain a presentable finish between services
• Lightweight at 160g, making storage and handling straightforward

There are no special installation or setup requirements. It is worth considering how many cloths you will need in rotation — allowing for those in use, those being laundered, and a clean reserve — before ordering. If your service volume is high or your tables turn quickly, having an adequate stock of cloths in hand avoids presentation gaps during peak periods.

This cloth is well suited to cafés, tea rooms, bistros, and informal restaurant settings where a traditional table presentation is appropriate. It is not intended for formal fine dining environments where heavier, dressed linen would be expected.

If you are unsure how many cloths to order for your covers, or whether this size is right for your tables, our team is happy to help you work it out.

These chunky clear glass tealight holders from Utopia are a straightforward, practical choice for restaurants, bars, and café table settings. Made from soda lime glass, each holder has a substantial, weighted feel that sits securely on a table without risk of being easily knocked over during a busy service.

In a working hospitality environment, tealight holders need to stand up to daily handling, regular cleaning, and the inevitable knocks of a busy floor. The soda lime construction gives these a durability suited to that kind of use, and the simple cylindrical form means there are no awkward angles or recesses where wax residue can accumulate and become difficult to clean. Candle wax generally wipes away with minimal effort, and the holders are dishwasher safe for more thorough cleaning between services.

• Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service cleaning
• Soda lime glass construction handles everyday table service demands
• Compact footprint suits busy table layouts without dominating cover space
• Heavyweight base provides stable, secure placement on table surfaces
• Clear glass suits a wide range of interior styles without clashing

These are sold in packs of twelve, which works well for operators looking to stock or refresh a full section at once. The clear glass is versatile enough to sit comfortably alongside most tableware and interior schemes, from casual dining through to more considered restaurant settings.

Worth noting: these are standard tealight holders rather than votive or pillar candle holders, so they are sized for standard tealight candles. They are not suited to larger candle formats. For higher-volume operations needing to stock multiple sections or event spaces, buying in larger quantities is worth considering.

If you are unsure how these fit alongside other table accessories or have questions about quantities for your covers, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your operation.
