How to Choose the Right Catering Supplies

Size and portions

Begin by looking at your most popular dishes and pick pack sizes to suit them. Over-sized packaging wastes money and looks empty; too small risks spills and poor reviews. Most catering supplies come in multiple sizes, so sample one case before committing to bulk.

Material matters

Paper-based and compostable materials suit venues with eco-conscious customers, while polypropylene and aluminium are still most economical 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 restrict some lines — our range is 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 reduce the per-unit price as you add cases, and part-box options let newer businesses start small without overstocking.

Plan your storage

Packaging need shelf space — plan around what you can store instead of bulk you cannot rack. Case dimensions are listed on product pages so you can plan shelf space before ordering. Use older cases first and keep paper-based lines away from damp to avoid warping.

Bulk Buying & Trade Accounts

Every product has automatic quantity discounts — the more cases you add, the lower the unit price. South Shields businesses with regular volume can get in touch for standing-order pricing, and our current deals page lists short-dated and promotional stock. Every order comes with a full VAT invoice for your records.
