When people visualise disposable catering ware the first image is usually of cheap plastic cutlery, flimsy white plates, thin plastic cups and tablecloths that fly away on the breeze. This is not the case any more. With a little careful planning you can create an off-site dining area that can closely rival any static, indoor restaurant. Choosing the perfect eco catering supplies and disposable, compostable and biodegradable items is now easy with a huge range of goods with a price range that suits any budget.
Tablecloths; these are now available in a wide variety of colours and styles and suitable for every occasion. Buying styles such as the Lotus Linstyle Slipcover are extremely popular due to their look and feel of a good quality woven tablecloth.
Tablemats; again tablemats are now available in a wide range of colours to compliment your choice of tablecloth. Available for purchase in multipacks, you are always assured to never be left short at an important function. In-keeping with the Lotus Linstyle range, the tablemats are soft to the touch and textured to perfectly imitate genuine linen.
Napkins; in regard to this item, gone are the days of coarse paper napkins. Again, choosing from the Lotus Linstyle range will offer complementing colour choices with the softness, protection and absorbability of traditional laundered napkins.
Plates and bowls; these pieces of disposable equipment need to be durable and strong whilst also being lightweight. Prairieware offers these essential factors whilst adding a touch of quality. The sides of these plates and bowls are slightly higher than average to avoid any accidental spillages. A foam backing ensures that plates remain firmly on the table and do not slide or blow away. The Prairieware range also has a non-absorbent design with a ‘Gadroon’ pattern etched onto the rim to add a little extra touch of class.
Cups and glasses; whether serving hot or cold, alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks there is now a stylish option for any usage. There is no need to serve wine in a white plastic beaker any longer. Invest in some plastic, but ‘glass-like’ containers that imitate a traditional wine glass to add extra style to any function.
Cutlery; these items are now available in a range of styles so that you can choose cutlery that sets off and accompanies any disposable décor.
Serving; flimsy silver trays that bend and distort under any small amount of weight are not acceptable for a catering company aiming for a quality finish. Serving trays are now available to perfectly imitate standard serving trays but with the added benefit of being disposable, making them perfect for off-site catering events.
All disposable eco-friendly catering wear needs to be of a good standard and add a touch of quality but without breaking the bank. To add a sense of style to your off-site functions, always look for a high standard of equipment that allows you to recreate a permanent restaurant feel but on a mobile basis.
