Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pilcrow & Pomegranate, a popular gastropub in York, was looking to refresh its glassware to better align with its locally sourced, sustainable menu. They wanted something sturdy but with more character than their previous plain glasses.
"These fluted glass tumblers 500ml were exactly what we needed. They look brilliant, our customers constantly comment on them, and it feels good knowing we’ve made a more sustainable choice. They’ve survived a few accidental drops too, which is a massive plus!"
Robert Davies – General Manager
The pub saw a noticeable increase in positive social media tags, with customers frequently picturing their drinks in the new, attractive glassware.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and check each glass for any signs of damage during transit.
- Always run the glasses through a full wash cycle in your commercial glasswasher before their first use.
- Ensure your rinse aid and detergent levels are correct to achieve a sparkling, streak-free finish.
- When placing on glass matting or shelves, give them a little space to prevent rim-to-rim contact and potential chipping.
Keeping It Going
- Use a designated glass rack in the dishwasher to prevent them from knocking against other items.
- Regularly inspect for small chips or cracks, especially around the rim. Remove any damaged glasses from service immediately.
- To avoid cloudiness ('blooming'), ensure your glasswasher is regularly serviced and maintained.
- Allow glasses to air dry and cool down completely before stacking to prevent thermal shock, which can cause cracks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses stackable?
A: It's best to avoid stacking them directly inside one another to prevent pressure on the glass. Storing them rim-down on glass matting is the safest option.
Q: What does 'post-consumer recycled' mean?
A: It means the glass is made entirely from waste material from households and businesses, such as used bottles and jars, that has been diverted from landfill.
Q: Is the fluted design difficult to clean in a dishwasher?
A: Not at all. The grooves are smooth and wide enough that a commercial glasswasher will clean them perfectly, leaving no residue.
Q: Is the 500ml capacity measured to the brim?
A: Yes, glassware capacity is typically measured to the brim. This makes them ideal for a 500ml drink with space for a small head, or large cocktails with ice.
Q: Will the colour of the glass be perfectly clear?
A: Recycled glass often has a very subtle, natural green or blueish tint due to the mix of materials. This is part of its unique charm and character.
Q: Can I serve hot drinks like coffee or tea in them?
A: No, these tumblers are designed for cold beverages only. Exposing them to hot liquids can cause thermal shock and lead to cracking.
Q: How do they compare in strength to non-recycled glasses?
A: These are designed for commercial use and are very durable. The recycling and manufacturing process creates a strong, robust glass suitable for busy environments.
Q: Are these glasses CE marked for serving pints?
A: These glasses are sold by capacity to the brim and are not CE/UKCA marked for draught beer service. They are ideal for cocktails, soft drinks, or bottled beers.
