How to Choose the Right Catering Supplies

Size and portions

Start with your most popular dishes and choose pack sizes to suit them. Over-sized packaging wastes money and looks empty; too small risks spills and poor reviews. Many catering supplies come in multiple sizes, so test one case before committing to bulk.

Material matters

Kraft and bagasse options suit venues with eco-conscious customers, while plastic and foil remain most economical for high-volume 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 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

Packaging take up shelf space — order around what you can store rather than bulk you cannot rack. Cases are labelled with counts and dimensions so you can work out storage before ordering. Rotate stock first-in-first-out and keep paper-based lines dry to avoid warping.

Bulk Buying & Trade Accounts

Each line carries automatic quantity discounts — prices step down as volume rises. Reading customers ordering weekly can contact us for standing-order pricing, and our current deals page lists clearance and seasonal offers. Every order comes with a full VAT invoice for your records.

Delivery to Reading

We ship from Enfield, London Monday to Friday. Deliveries to Reading typically arrive next working day once dispatched, with tracking on every consignment. Delivery is free over the free delivery threshold shown at checkout, and lighter orders carry a simple delivery charge. Check delivery details for cut-off times and options.

Reliability matters in hospitality: running out of catering supplies mid-service costs sales. We hold weeks of stock on core lines so Reading kitchens can reorder confidently all year round.

Packaging is marketing: clean, well-fitted packaging protects food in transit and signals quality on delivery apps. Standardising your catering supplies is a low-cost ways to improve ratings in Reading's competitive takeaway market.

Stock and prices update daily on easysupply.co.uk — no request-a-quote forms, no hidden charges. Add cases to the cart, see quantity breaks apply automatically, and complete checkout securely any time.

Eco credentials matter for Reading diners: councils and delivery platforms increasingly favour recyclable 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? Begin with a case each of your core items, track usage for a fortnight, then move to a regular reorder. Many Reading businesses end up with a predictable cycle that spreads cost and storage manageable.

Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat raised the bar: food now spends 20-30 minutes in transit before it is opened. Heat retention and leak resistance make the difference between five-star and one-star reviews — which is why choosing delivery-grade packaging is money well spent in Reading's app-driven market.
