How to Choose the Right Charcoal

Match the size to your menu

Work from your best-selling dishes and pick pack sizes to suit them. Too large a container costs more and presents badly; too small risks spills and poor reviews. Most charcoal come in multiple sizes, so sample one case before committing to bulk.

Choosing materials

Paper-based and compostable materials suit venues marketing sustainability, while plastic and foil are still the value choice for high-volume 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 cut the per-unit price automatically, and part-box options let newer businesses try lines without tying up cash.

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 work out storage before ordering. Use older cases first and keep kraft and paper products away from damp to avoid warping.

Every product carries automatic quantity discounts — prices step down as volume rises. South Shields businesses ordering weekly can contact us for account terms, and our current deals page lists short-dated and promotional stock. VAT invoices are issued automatically for your records.

Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat raised the bar: food now travels further and waits longer before it is opened.
