    Introducing the next step in food presentation – Dalebrook’s Circular Buffet Stand

    “Introducing – Dalebrook’s Circular Buffet Stand”

    Restaurants, hotels and caterers alike are under constant pressure to create and maintain fresh and relevant food displays, as well as keep up with their usual day-to-day stresses. Not only is food presentation key to success but to guarantee longevity; practicality, affordability and safety are fundamental. Food buffets are now created with more height and theatre, meaning the choice of tableware used by chefs and front of house managers is a much more crucial decision.

    Dalebrook’s new Circular Buffet stand is designed as a multi-use, stylish, practical display stand that stacks away neatly, important for busy chefs and front of house staff during foodservice. The stand can be used both on its side and upright and works with Dalebrook’s melamine bowls, round and rectangular platters, making it a cost-effective and practical solution, perfect for the needs of busy food professionals.
    Use it with Dalebrook’s Oxford platters to create a multi-level stand as well as with the 6 litre Casablanca bowl and Carrara Marble platters, to create height and depth.

    “Dalebrook’s OMNI Mug shortlisted for The Caterer’s Product Excellence Award”

    Dalebrook has great news to share! Our OMNI Mug, part of Dalebrook’s new specialist OMNI Dinnerware Range for the health social care sectors has been shortlisted for The Caterer’s Product Excellence Award.

    Dalebrook’s OMNI Mug is one of four finalists in the crockery, cutlery, glassware and tabletop category.

    The Caterer’s Product Excellence Awards recognise excellence and innovation in food, drink and equipment products.

    Dalebrook’s OMNI melamine drinking aids are designed to help elderly, infirm and disabled diners to drink independently, with dignity and confidence. The discrete features of the mug, cup, saucer and lids, are designed to empower those who find it difficult to use traditional tableware. On average, 37% of over 65s are classed as dehydrated on admission into care environments, so it is crucial to encourage good health care practices, and Dalebrook’s OMNI drinking aids do just that!

    OMNI was created in response to a demand identified by our customers who are unable to source a suitable dinnerware range for the healthcare sector. The aim of Dalebrook’s OMNI Dinnerware range is to make eating and drinking enjoyable for all.

    The awards ceremony will be held on Thursday 6th December, when the winners will be announced.

  • Dalebrook Supplies Launches Stylish Copper Tea Stand

    Dalebrook Supplies Launches Stylish Copper Tea Stand

    Dalebrook, the leading supplier of high quality melamine food display products has announced the launch of its stunning new Copper Tea Stand. A first of its kind, the stylish and contemporary copper wire stand features removable rustic wood effect melamine platters.

    Commissioned by rhubarb Food Design Ltd. for their client at The Royal Ascot Racing Club, the stunning Copper Tea Stand adds a touch of decadence and glamour to any afternoon tea setting. The Dalebrook Copper Tea Stand takes pride of place in the prestigious members only area of the iconic venue, overlooking the race course’s finishing line.

    Breaking away from the tradition of white plates and silver stands, Dalebrook Supplies was commissioned to design a tea stand with a difference and one that was in keeping with the venue’s interior of dark wood and mahogany. The results far exceeded the expectations of the Royal Ascot Racing Club and as a result of its success, Dalebrook Supplies recently launched the product to the market at this year’s Restaurant Show.

    Dalebrook’s contemporary Copper Tea Stand is a practical solution for any busy catering environment with a difference. Unlike other bulky stands, the Copper Tea Stand can be stored neatly away when not in use as a result of its removable rustic wood effect melamine platters. Easy to use, the platters are practical, durable and designed to stand the test of time.

    The platters can also be used on their own and showcase a textured wood effect, accompanied by all of the product benefits of melamine including chip resistance and dishwasher safety. They also feature longer overlapped edges on the base which prevent them from slipping out of the stand.

    Commenting on the launch of the Copper Tea Stand, rhubarb’s Duncan Garland said; “Afternoon Tea at Ascot is a prestigious event and we required an afternoon tea stand that would be in keeping with the venue and its traditions. Dalebrook Supplies came to us with a stunning solution that is both contemporary and stylish, yet practical too. We’re delighted with the results.”

    “Our Copper Tea Stand goes against the grain with its contemporary design and we’re thrilled that our new product is taking pride of place at Ascot. The stands are uniquely designed so that they can be stacked on top of one another when stored, making them a convenient addition to any afternoon tea environment.” adds Jennie Knott, Managing Director of Dalebrook Supplies.

    The Dalebrook Copper Tea Stand is now available to order.

Like the Casablanca range, the stunning new collection is also easy to clean, stain resistant and chip resistant.

    The Urban range features three different Gastro size slabs which can be used for both sharing platters and deli displays. Accompanying the platters are medium and large melamine concrete bowls featuring a white interior and concrete effect exterior to complement the Gastro slabs.

  • Dalebrook Supplies On The Wildwood Menu

    Dalebrook Supplies On The Wildwood Menu

    Dalebrook, the leading supplier of high quality melamine food display products has announced its partnership with Wildwood Restaurants, part of Tasty Plc.

    Based in London and the South, Wildwood is a collection of contemporary restaurants serving stone baked pizza, freshly prepared pastas and a wide selection of grill options. The innovative restaurant group recently opened 50 restaurants across the South East with another three planned to open over the coming months.

    Wildwood met Dalebrook at the 2014 Restaurant Show. Keen to explore new innovative food service designs for their restaurants, Head Chef Marcel Gjini was impressed by Dalebrook’s melamine range. Wildwood selected Dalebrook’s Marble and Rustic Wood Effect Platters enabling them to deliver a stylish solution and move away from real wood which was difficult to clean.

    Made entirely from melamine, the Marble and Rustic Wood platters are a lightweight and practical alternative to wood for any food service environment. The attractive products are both shatter proof and break resistant too meaning they will stand up to the rigours of everyday use in busy kitchens.

    Dalebrook Supplies and Wildwood worked closely together to select four different product ranges which are now being used in 50 Wildwood Restaurants to serve a range of meals including pizzas, steaks and breads.

    Commenting on the rollout of the Dalebrook range, Jo Bagery, Managing Director at Wildwood Restaurants said; “We were looking for a practical and attractive serving solution to showcase our Wildwood menu. Dalebrook Supplies introduced us to the advantages of using melamine in the restaurant environment and we have been thoroughly impressed with the benefits of these products, without having to compromise on style.”

    “Following our initial meeting with Wildwood Restaurants, it was clear that the team was looking for a serving solution that would set them apart from other restaurants. We’re delighted to see our Rustic Wood and Marble Platters on the Wildwood menu.” adds Jennie Knott, Managing Director of Dalebrook Supplies.
