Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Queen's Head in Bakewell, Derbyshire, needed a reliable alternative to glassware for their bustling summer folk festival hosted in their large beer garden. Constant breakages were causing safety concerns and  slowing down service during their busiest period of the year.

"Switching to these polystyrene pints was one of our best moves. Our staff can collect and  wash them faster, there are no more worries about broken glass on the lawn, and  our customers are just happy to get a safe, full pint. It's made our festival weekends so much smoother."

Martin Bell – General Manager

The pub reported a 95% reduction in glassware-related incidents and  costs during outdoor events, significantly improving both safety and  staff efficiency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, give the glasses a full wash cycle before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
  • Designate a clean, dry storage area away from direct sunlight, which can make plastic brittle over time.
  • Ensure they are fully dry before stacking to prevent water spots and  bacteria growth.

Keeping It Going

  • These are glasswasher safe, but always use a suitable glass rack to prevent them from moving around during the cycle.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as this can scratch the polystyrene and  make it appear cloudy.
  • Regularly inspect glasses for any signs of cracking or heavy wear and  tear, and  replace them to maintain a professional look.
  • To prolong their life, rinse soon after use to prevent beer residue from drying on the surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Plastic Glassware

Feeling a bit lost in the world of plastic drinkware? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect product for your needs.

Material Matters

Polystyrene (like this product) is rigid, clear, and  cost-effective, ideal for general use. For ultimate durability, look at polycarbonate, which is virtually unbreakable but comes at a higher price.

Capacity & Markings

Always check for the CE mark if you're serving draught beer. A 20oz / 570ml glass is for a pint, while 10oz / 285ml is for a half. Get the right size for your needs.

Reusable vs. Disposable

Reusable glasses cost more upfront but save money and  reduce waste long-term. Disposables are for one-off events where washing facilities aren't available.

Stacking and  Storage

If space is tight, look for glasses with a stacking feature. This prevents them from sticking together and  makes them much easier to grab during a busy service.

Look and  Feel

While safety is key, you still want your drinks to look good. A clear, well-designed plastic glass will present your beverages much better than a flimsy, cloudy alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these glasses really reusable?

A: Yes, absolutely. They are made from durable polystyrene and  are designed to be washed and  reused many times, making them a cost-effective choice.

Q: Can I wash them in my commercial glasswasher?

A: Yes, they are certified as glasswasher safe. We recommend using a glass rack to keep them secure during the wash cycle for best results.

Q: What does 'CE Marked to line' mean?

A: It means the glass is certified to hold a specific, legal measure (e.g., a pint) up to the marked line, which is a legal requirement for selling draught beer in the UK.

Q: Are they stackable for easy storage?

A: Yes, these glasses are designed to stack, which helps save valuable space behind the bar or in storage areas.

Q: What is the exact material?

A: They are made from a rigid, clear polystyrene, which provides good clarity and  durability without the risk of shattering.

Q: Can they be used for soft drinks and  ciders too?

A: Of course! Their classic pint shape makes them perfect for serving a wide range of cold drinks, including ciders, soft drinks, and  cordials.

Q: Will they affect the taste of the beer?

A: No, polystyrene is a non-porous and  inert material that will not impart any flavour or odour to the beverages served in them.

Q: How do they compare to glass in terms of durability?

A: They are far more durable than glass as they won't shatter on impact. While they can crack under extreme force, they eliminate the primary danger of sharp, broken glass.

What Does 'CE Marked' Mean for Your Pints?

You'll see 'CE Marked' on our glassware, but what does it actually mean for your business? In short, it’s your seal of approval for legal compliance. In the UK, it is a legal requirement to use CE-stamped glasses when serving draught beer or cider by a specific measure, like a pint or half-pint. This mark certifies that the glass holds the exact volume it claims to, so both you and  your customer know the pour is accurate.

Think of it like the scales at a butcher's shop being government-stamped for accuracy. Using CE-marked glasses protects your business from any disputes over short measures and  ensures you're trading fairly and  legally. It's a small detail that provides huge peace of mind, keeping your service professional and  above board.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Bars: Ideal for beer gardens, patios, and  smoking areas to prevent dangerous glass breakages.
  • Event & Festival Organisers: The perfect solution for serving thousands of punters safely at large-scale outdoor events.
  • Mobile Bar Services: Lightweight, durable, and  easy to transport for weddings, parties, and  corporate functions.
  • Sports & Social Clubs: A safe and  practical choice for serving drinks in clubhouses and  at post-match celebrations.
