About the Product

Think of this collection as the finishing touches for an events order. Wooden skewers, including looped and novelty-shaped designs, suit canapés and cocktail garnishes, while clear hard disposable glasses give drinks service a proper glass look without the breakage risk. Platter lids and bases in various shapes and finishes let you build a presentation setup that matches the scale of the event.

It's designed to be ordered alongside the trays and platters in our wider Events & Catering range, so caterers can pick up bulk catering supplies UK venues rely on, from the big pieces to the small details, in one pass through the site.
