How to Choose the Right Catering Supplies

Match the size to your menu

Start with your most popular dishes and select pack sizes that match your portions. Over-sized packaging wastes money and looks empty; under-sized packaging leaks and damages your reviews. Most catering supplies come in multiple sizes, so test one case before ordering bulk.

Material matters

Paper-based and compostable materials suit venues marketing sustainability, while polypropylene and aluminium 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 fully compliant.

Cost per serve, not per case

Compare products on cost per serve rather than case price. More units per case frequently beats a cheaper headline price. Our bulk tiers reduce the per-unit price as you add cases, and part-box options let newer businesses start small without overstocking.

Plan your storage

Packaging take up dry, clean storage space — plan a realistic weekly volume instead of bulk you cannot rack. 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 protect them.

Each line has automatic quantity discounts — prices step down as volume rises. Preston customers ordering weekly can contact us for standing-order pricing, and our current deals page lists clearance and seasonal offers. VAT invoices are issued automatically for your records.
