Preparing for the festive season. Are you prepared for Christmas? As the festive season fast approaches, now is the perfect time to take stock of your restaurant or bar and begin gathering what you will need for December.

Serving a set Christmas Menu? Don’t forget to organise which restaurant crockery and cutlery you will be using to serve each course so you don’t get caught out during a very busy service. Uniformity in presentation, particularly for a set menu, can go a long way in impressing your diners! For large roast dinners, ensure your serving plate is big enough – or maybe serve your trimmings in quirky mini saucepans or baskets.

Why not switch up the colour of your table napkins for the Christmas period? A festive burgundy, red, or mountain pine (dark green) can elevate your table and add a little bit of festive cheer without a lot of extra effort or expense. When customers are paying for a Christmas Day meal, you may wish to provide a high quality linen style napkin to add a luxurious feel on the big day.

Your glassware may also need topping up in the lead up to Christmas and New Year. As customers celebrate with friends and family, your prosecco / champagne sales are likely to sky rocket. With that in mind, ensuring you have enough flutes is paramount – nobody wants bubbly served in the wrong glass! If you are planning to create a special festive cocktail or two, adding a different cocktail glass to your regular stock will add an exciting element to your new offering.

Have a home bar? Hosting a large group for Christmas Day? Having a New Years Eve party at home? The above applies to you too! We can deliver to domestic premises as well as businesses, so why not treat your guests to some wonderful striking crockery, or some truly unique glassware for those festive tipples? All of our products are designed to be used in professional kitchens and bars, meaning that the quality is much higher than that of supermarket offerings – once you have these special pieces in your home, they will last years and years. A worthy investment for the keen host!
