How to Choose the Right Catering Supplies
Size and portions
Start with your most popular dishes and select pack sizes that match your portions. Over-sized packaging wastes money and looks empty; too small risks spills and poor reviews. Many catering supplies come in several sizes, so sample one case before ordering bulk.
Choosing materials
Paper-based and compostable materials suit venues with eco-conscious customers, while plastic and foil remain the value choice for busy kitchens. Check heat resistance for hot food, oil resistance for fried menus, and microwave-safety if customers reheat at home. UK single-use plastic rules ban certain items — our range is fully compliant.
Cost per serve, not per case
Compare 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 as you add cases, and part-box options let smaller businesses try lines without tying up cash.
Plan your storage
Disposables need shelf space — order around what you can store instead of bulk you cannot rack. Cases are labelled with counts and dimensions so you can plan shelf space in advance. Use older cases first and keep paper-based lines dry to protect them.
Bulk Buying & Trade Accounts
Every product carries automatic quantity discounts — the more cases you add, the lower the unit price. Edinburgh customers ordering weekly can contact us for contract rates, and our current deals page lists short-dated and promotional stock. Every order comes with a full VAT invoice for your records.
Delivery to Edinburgh
We dispatch from Enfield, London Monday to Friday. Deliveries to Edinburgh usually land on a next-working-day service once dispatched, with tracking on every consignment. Delivery is free over the free-shipping threshold shown in the cart, and smaller orders pay a flat delivery charge. See delivery details for current cut-offs and services.
Reliability matters in hospitality: running out of catering supplies on a busy night costs sales. We hold weeks of stock on core lines so Edinburgh businesses can reorder confidently week after week.
Packaging is marketing: clean, well-fitted packaging protects food in transit and signals quality on delivery apps. Upgrading your catering supplies is a low-cost ways to lift review scores in Edinburgh's busy takeaway market.
Prices are live on easysupply.co.uk — no request-a-quote forms, no hidden charges. Build your order online, watch bulk discounts apply, and check out in minutes any time.
Sustainability is now a buying factor for Edinburgh customers: councils and delivery platforms are pushing paper-based and compostable formats. Moving your most visible items to kraft, bagasse or FSC paper is a story worth telling — and our range prices those options competitively.
New to wholesale buying? Start small with one case of your two or three fastest lines, measure how long they last, then move to a regular reorder. Most Edinburgh customers settle into a steady rhythm that keeps cash flow smooth and storage manageable.
Delivery apps changed the game: food now spends 20-30 minutes in transit than dine-in service ever demanded. Heat retention and leak resistance make the difference between five-star and one-star reviews — so spec-ing packaging for delivery is money well spent in Edinburgh's delivery-heavy market.
