How to Choose the Right Catering Disposables
Size and portions
Work from your most popular dishes and pick pack sizes to suit them. Too large a container costs more and presents badly; under-sized packaging leaks and damages your reviews. Most catering disposables come in multiple sizes, so test one case before ordering bulk.
Material matters
Paper-based and compostable materials work well for venues with eco-conscious customers, while plastic and foil remain most economical for busy kitchens. Check heat resistance for hot food, grease-proofing for fried menus, and microwave-safety if customers reheat at home. UK single-use plastic rules ban certain items — our range is compliant.
Think in cost-per-serve
Judge products on cost per serve rather than case price. A slightly dearer case with 25% more units is often cheaper per meal. Our quantity discounts cut the per-unit price automatically, and part-box options let smaller businesses try lines without overstocking.
Storage and shelf life
Disposables need shelf space — order around what you can store instead of one giant quarterly drop. Case dimensions are listed on product pages so you can plan shelf space in advance. Rotate stock first-in-first-out and keep kraft and paper products away from damp to avoid warping.
Bulk Buying & Trade Accounts
Every product carries automatic quantity discounts — the more cases you add, the lower the unit price. Preston customers with regular volume can contact us for account terms, and our current deals page lists short-dated and promotional stock. Every order comes with a full VAT invoice for your records.
Delivery to Preston
We ship from Enfield, London Monday to Friday. Deliveries to Preston usually land next working day once dispatched and every order is tracked. Free delivery applies over the free delivery threshold shown at checkout, and lighter orders carry a flat delivery charge. See delivery details for cut-off times and services.
Consistency matters in food service: being caught short on catering disposables on a busy night costs sales. Easy Supply holds weeks of stock on core lines so Preston businesses can rely on availability week after week.
Packaging is marketing: smart, purpose-made packaging keeps food at its best and signals quality on Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat. Standardising your catering disposables is one of the cheapest ways to improve ratings in Preston's competitive takeaway market.
Prices are live on easysupply.co.uk — no waiting for quotes, no hidden charges. Build your order online, see quantity breaks apply automatically, and check out in minutes 24/7.
Eco credentials matter for Preston customers: local authorities and apps are pushing paper-based and compostable formats. Switching even part of your range to kraft, bagasse or FSC paper is a story worth telling — and our range prices those options competitively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver catering disposables to Preston?
Absolutely — we deliver to Preston and the surrounding area on a next-working-day service from our Enfield warehouse.

No minimum order value applies. However, the free-delivery threshold applies over the amount shown in the cart, so most Preston businesses order by the case to reach it.
Can I get a VAT invoice?
Of course — a compliant VAT invoice is issued automatically with every order. Prices on site are shown ex VAT as standard for trade.
Do you offer samples or smaller packs?
Selected lines are available as part-box packs — a smaller quantity split from the full case — letting you test a product before buying bulk.
How do I pay?
We accept all major debit and credit cards through Worldpay. Regular customers can contact us about account options.
What if something arrives damaged?
Let us know as soon as it lands via your account's returns page and we will put it right — photos speed things up. Issues are rare because cases ship on sturdy outer cartons, but we stand behind every delivery.
