We’re helping to Reduce Plastic Pollution!
Whilst reading July’s edition of Country Living Magazine, an article about ways to reduce plastic pollution really grabbed our attention and we realised we should be shouting about how we are helping in the fight against disposables…
So next time you plan a family gathering and reach for the plastic glasses / cutlery & plates..don’t!
Just place your order with us and we will not only deliver much more stylish tableware but collect it & wash it up ready for it’s next party!
What could be simpler!

Our Guide to Table Laying Etiquette
Laying the Table
Whether it is a formal dinner or a much more casual occasion, the basic rules do not vary when laying the table.
Give each person as much elbow room as the table permits. Leave an even amount of space between places. Knives and spoons go on the right, forks on the left. The idea is always to work from the outside in.
Formally, it is correct always to lay side plates – even if they are not going to be used – with the napkins simply folded on them.
Once you’ve mastered the basics…go wild with the decorations!!
