Outdoor Tableware
If Summer means barbecues, garden parties and morning coffees on the patio in your home, you probably don’t want to use the fine china and fragile glasses when dining al fresco. And we don’t blame you!
Picking up smashed glass or sweeping up priceless plates is never fun. But that doesn’t mean paper plates and disposable cups are the only alternative. In fact, there’s a world of stylish tableware that’s outdoors ready and durable enough to stand up to the elements. And at Lakeland, we’re proud to stock a wide collection of picnicware including crockery, picnic mugs, cutlery and food covers that are made for enjoying meals outside among nature.
Put down the paper plates
Let’s be honest, nobody wants to use their finest crockery and tableware outdoors where they’re at greater risk of chips, cracks or even getting dropped and smashed, but nobody wants paper plates whizzing around the garden in a breeze either. Luckily, we’ve got a range of sturdy serving plates, bowls and tumblers that not only add a touch of chic to a Summer garden cookout, but won’t fly off the table in a gust of wind.
Made from virtually unbreakable melamine, our picnic tableware is able to withstand drops and dings without picking up any chips or breaks. And with their bright, floral design, they’re guaranteed to brighten up a barbecue or picnic even on the most overcast day.
Plus, our range of re-usable picnic cutlery means you can forget about flimsy, disposable, environmentally unfriendly plastic cutlery once and for all. Made from more durable materials like wood and stainless steel, our outdoor cutlery is the ultimate eco-friendly alternative to disposables when planning that big summer garden party.
Keep it fresh
Is there anything more picture perfect than a garden table filled with beautifully seasoned salads, barbecue skewers, summery potato salad and homemade dressings in the height of Summer? We’d argue no, but it becomes less photogenic if you have to constantly swat away pesky flies and other creepy crawlies. With Lakeland’s range of innovative food covers, you never need to worry about salads and sides being spoiled by nature.
Designed to fit just about any kind of plate or serving tray, our food covers are made from a fine mesh that keeps insects out and keeps your creations perfectly fresh long into the day. That’s ideal if you’re feeling a second wind and want to fire up the grill for round two, or if you’re creating a help-yourself outdoor buffet for guests.
Dressed to perfection
Sourdough and olive oil? Neapolitan-style pizza drizzled with chilli oil? Herby green salad with vinaigrette? Few things add an extra boost of zing and vibrancy to an al fresco dinner like homemade dressings and condiments, and we’ve got the perfect solutions to keep them outside without relying on fragile glass bottles and dainty pourers.
In our range of picnicware, you’ll find clever oil and dressing drizzlers and sprayers, designed to keep your dressings fresh when eating outside, while using less to make meals healthier and no less tasty.
And what about the salad itself? Well, you can ditch the clingfilm and still keep that salad delicious with our selection of salad spinners. Crafted to perfectly dry rinsed salad leaves, many in our range also double as a durable salad bowl, too. So, when you’re done with the prep, just pop the salad spinner on the table along with the rest of the spread and save on the washing up! Easy.
