The 14th of February is nearly upon us which means couples across the country will be on the lookout for the best deal and location to dine out at this Valentine’s Day. With so many different options competition is fierce for restaurants meaning your opposition will be gearing up and preparing the best deals to incise customers.

Fundamentals
Champagne will be top of the drinks orders list so make sure you have enough flutes and glasses that are in good condition. If you would like to serve your bubbly in something a little different to the average flute, we stock vintage style saucers as well as sleek squared styles from leading brand Chef and Sommelier. Bottles will need to be kept chilled and neatly presented with ice buckets and stands. Our ranges cover various tasteful shapes, styles and materials to suit your room’s colour scheme and style.

                                                                        Appearance
The appearance of your restaurant is crucial, you can serve the best food but if it’s on chipped crockery and stained tablecloths your customers aren’t going to be impressed. Clean table linen and carefully placed napkins can transform a room particularly if your tables are a little worn.

Crockery is one of the most used items at front of house which means it will need replacing from time to time. This can be a great opportunity to restyle your range which can have a big impact on the feel of your business. Crisp white squared plates will go perfectly with dramatic, vibrant sauces and our wooden board range will enhance rustic themes.

Ambiance 
Being the most romantic night of the year, setting the mood is incredibly important. Candles are very cost effective and will create the perfect ambiance for a meal for 2. Our broad assortment covers a large variety of options including liquid wax candles, pillar, jarred, tapered, flameless and rechargeable.


Marketing
Creating awareness of your offers is crucial. Pavement boards will encourage walk in bookings and specials will persuade people to order particular dishes or deals. We stock a wide range of boards in a variety of styles, shapes and designs. Make your display striking by using coloured markers and creative designs, our stencils will enable you to achieve a professional finish.

Additional Detail
