About DPS Tableware
DPS Tableware Ltd was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Stone, Staffordshire. It is an independent UK tableware brand supplying professional tableware, cutlery, glassware, barware, and buffetware to the hospitality trade.
The brand works in two core materials. DPS vitrified porcelain is the commercial standard: fired at high temperature until the clay body becomes dense and non-porous, it resists edge chipping, handles commercial dishwasher cycles at 85°C without degrading, and holds its glaze through years of daily service. DPS bone china is the refined alternative – translucent, lighter in the hand, and suited to premium dining rooms and hotel table service where presentation is part of the offer.
The DPS Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty is the brand’s most significant differentiator. Select pieces carry a lifetime warranty against edge chipping – a direct response to the single most common cause of crockery replacement in commercial kitchens. For operators running high cover counts, that warranty translates into a measurable reduction in replacement spend over a service life.
High gloss finishes and reactive glazes run across the full portfolio, giving operators strong visual variety without the cost and complexity of switching suppliers. The DPS Academy range handles volume. DPS Enigma and DPS Fusion handle on-trend aesthetics. Between the six core families and 33 standalone collections, most operators can build a complete table setting – and a seasonal alternative – from a single brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
DPS Tableware Ltd is an independent UK hospitality tableware brand founded in 2001 and based in Stone, Staffordshire. The company supplies professional crockery, cutlery, glassware, barware, and buffetware to restaurants, hotels, cafés, and contract caterers. Its range spans vitrified porcelain and fine bone china across 74 named collections.
The Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty is a manufacturer’s guarantee covering select DPS Tableware pieces against edge chipping for the lifetime of the product. Edge chipping is the most common cause of crockery replacement in commercial kitchens, so the warranty directly reduces long-term replacement costs for operators running high cover counts. Check individual product listings to confirm which collections carry the warranty.
Vitrified porcelain is fired at high temperature until the clay body becomes dense and non-porous – the result is a hard, chip-resistant material that withstands commercial dishwasher cycles at 85°C and suits high-volume service environments. Fine bone china contains bone ash in its composition, producing a translucent, lighter piece with a refined aesthetic. It is better suited to premium dining rooms and hotel table service where presentation carries as much weight as durability.
The DPS Academy range is the strongest choice for high-volume restaurant and hotel service. It covers 12 shape and finish variants – from Academy Classic and Academy Curve through to Academy Taverna and Academy Venecia – giving operators the flexibility to build a full table setting within a single, commercially proven range. All Academy pieces are vitrified porcelain and dishwasher-safe at commercial temperatures.
No. There is no minimum order quantity on any DPS crockery line stocked by Ascot Wholesale. You can order a single case to trial a collection or place a larger volume order to equip a full venue – the same trade pricing applies either way. Buying by the case reduces cost per unit, which adds up at volume.
Standard delivery for in-stock DPS Tableware lines is typically 2–5 working days for UK mainland addresses. Larger pallet orders or items on back order may take longer. Check individual product pages for current stock status and estimated despatch times. Trade account holders can contact the team directly for lead time confirmation on large or urgent orders.
