Wholesale Catering Gloves

Gloves For Every Kitchen And Service Task

Ascot Wholesale stocks wholesale catering gloves in vinyl, nitrile and latex, plus heavy-duty rubber gloves for washing-up and cleaning duties. Order by the box of 100 or step up to bulk cases for busy kitchens getting through gloves every shift. Whatever your prep, service or cleaning task, we’ve got the material and case size to match.

Vinyl Vs Nitrile Vs Latex: Choosing The Right Glove

Vinyl is the budget-friendly choice for short, low-risk jobs like sandwich assembly or dry goods handling – it’s latex-free, but it’s not built for greasy or acidic food contact. Nitrile is the tougher option for meat prep, knife work and longer shifts, since it resists punctures and oils far better than vinyl. Latex still has its fans for grip and stretch, but check your team for allergies before you order a case.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do wholesale catering gloves come in?

Most of our range runs Small to X-Large, so you can order the right fit for every member of staff. Loose gloves tear faster and slow prep down, so it’s worth checking sizing before you order a full case.

Are vinyl or nitrile gloves better for food prep?

Nitrile handles oily, acidic or raw food better and lasts longer per glove. Vinyl is fine for quick, dry tasks where cost matters more than durability – plenty of kitchens run both side by side.

Do you sell powder-free gloves?

Yes. Powder-free is available across our vinyl and nitrile lines, and it’s the standard choice for most professional kitchens now, since powder can be a contamination risk on food-contact surfaces.

What’s the difference between food-safe gloves and rubber gloves?

Food-safe disposable gloves (vinyl, nitrile, latex) are made for direct food handling. Our rubber gloves are heavier-duty, reusable, and built for washing-up, cleaning and hot water – not for food prep.

Can I order mixed cases of different glove types?

Yes, trade accounts can mix materials and sizes across a single case order, so you’re not stuck buying a full case of one type if your kitchen needs both vinyl and nitrile.

Do your gloves meet food contact safety standards?

Yes. All our disposable gloves are made for food contact use, so they’re suitable for direct handling of food in professional kitchens and catering settings.
