It is never too early to start planning Christmas supplies for your pub, bar or restaurant. With the festive season only weeks away, we have published two brand new Christmas catalogues so you can see what is available, plan your stock and avoid being caught short when the December rush arrives.
Christmas Crackers time has officially begun. Here is why an early look at the range makes sense, and how to get the most from the catalogues.

Why Plan Your Christmas Supplies Early?
For Scottish hospitality businesses, the run-up to Christmas is one of the busiest and most demanding periods of the year. Work parties, family bookings, festive menus and Hogmanay preparations all land at once, and the last thing any manager or owner needs is a supply problem in the middle of it.
Planning early gives you:
- Better availability – popular festive lines move quickly as December approaches, so ordering early gives you the best chance of securing what you need.
- Time to plan your menu and service – knowing what tableware, glassware and consumables you have lets you build your festive offering with confidence.
- A calmer December – sorting your supplies in October or November means your team can concentrate on service rather than chasing stock.
- Room to adjust – if your bookings grow, you have time to top up rather than scrambling at the last minute.
What You Will Find in Our Christmas Catalogues
Our two Christmas catalogues have been put together with Scottish trade buyers in mind: practical, hospitality-ready products that work hard behind the bar, in the kitchen and on the floor throughout the festive period.
Inside, you can explore options to help you:
- Dress your venue and tables for the season
- Serve drinks and food to larger volumes of guests
- Keep your premises clean and presentable during the busiest weeks of the year
- Stock up on everyday essentials that tend to run out fastest when trade peaks
Take your time browsing both catalogues and note down the lines that suit your venue, your menu and your expected covers.
Christmas Supplies for Bars, Pubs and Restaurants Across the Central Belt
Whether you run a city-centre bar in Edinburgh, a busy pub in Glasgow, a restaurant in the wider Central Belt or a hotel hosting festive functions, the principle is the same: the earlier you plan, the smoother December runs.
As a supplier to the Scottish hospitality trade, we know how quickly the festive calendar fills up. Christmas parties start early, and many venues are fully booked well before the month begins. Having your bar supplies, glassware, tableware and cleaning essentials ready ahead of time means you can say yes to bookings without worrying about whether you have the stock to deliver.
A Simple Festive Stock Checklist for Trade Buyers
Before you open the catalogues, it helps to know what you are looking for. A quick review of the following can save time:
- Last year’s busiest days – check what ran low or ran out and make a note of it.
- Confirmed and expected bookings – estimate your covers and function numbers for the festive period.
- Glassware and tableware levels – breakages and wear are common at high volume, so check what needs replacing or topping up.
- Cleaning and consumable stock – these are the items that disappear fastest during heavy trade.
- Cellar and bar essentials – make sure your core lines are covered before the rush begins.
With your list in hand, the catalogues become a quick, practical tool rather than a long browse.
