Delivery Information

Price Match

The Utopia Caledonian tall hi ball glass is a straightforward, well-proportioned 280ml tumbler suited to everyday bar and table service. CE marked to confirm the stated measure, it sits within Utopia's broader Caledonian range — a practical collection covering the tumbler sizes most commonly called upon in commercial hospitality settings.

In service, these glasses handle the kind of volume a busy bar or restaurant generates without issue. The weighted pentagon base gives them a lower centre of gravity than a standard thin-based tumbler, which helps reduce spillages on trays and at the table — a small detail that matters when staff are moving quickly during a busy service period. At 360g each, they have enough substance to feel considered in the hand without being unnecessarily heavy to handle in quantity.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

  • CE marked at 280ml for accurate serve compliance
  • Pentagon base improves stability and reduces breakage risk
  • Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround during service
  • Versatile profile suits long drinks, beer, spirits, and water service
  • Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for initial stocking or topping up existing sets

There are no installation requirements to consider. Storage space for glassware stock is the main practical consideration — at 137mm tall, these stack efficiently on standard bar shelving. For operations running high covers or multiple sittings, it is worth calculating par levels carefully; a single pack of 12 may suit a small café or supplementary stock order, but a higher-volume venue will typically require several packs to maintain a working float through a full service.

These glasses are well suited to pubs, bars, casual dining restaurants, hotel food and beverage operations, and staff restaurants. They are a reliable everyday tumbler rather than a premium crystal piece, which makes them a sensible choice where a balance of durability and presentation is needed. If your operation requires a larger format hi ball for specific serves, other sizes are available within the Caledonian range.

If you are unsure how many packs you need to cover your service volume or want to discuss glassware across a wider project, the team is happy to help you work it through.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need for a typical bar or restaurant service?

A useful rule of thumb is to hold three to four times your seated cover count in glassware to account for glasses in use, in the wash, and in reserve. For a small café or bar running 20–30 covers, two or three packs of 12 is a reasonable starting point, but higher-volume operations or venues running multiple sittings will need to stock accordingly. It is worth calculating your par level before ordering rather than estimating.

Are these glasses suitable for commercial glasswashers?

Yes, the Caledonian hi ball glasses are dishwasher safe and designed to withstand regular commercial glasswasher cycles. As with all commercial glassware, using the correct glasswasher detergent and rinse aid dosing helps maintain clarity and extends the working life of the glasses.

What is the CE mark on these glasses, and why does it matter?

The CE mark on these glasses confirms that the stated capacity of 280ml has been verified to the relevant trading standards, which is a legal requirement for glasses used to serve measured drinks in licensed premises in the UK. If your venue serves pints, half-pints, or other regulated measures, using CE-marked glassware helps demonstrate compliance during licensing inspections.
