Catering Saucers for Cups, Mugs and Beverage Service
When it comes to catering saucers, the perfect fit is everything. They need to keep cups steady on the tray, without any slippage or wasted space.
That’s why these options are designed for heavy-duty use in busy cafes, hotels and service counters where presentation and speed both count.
You’ll find the saucers you need for espresso cups, coffee mugs, teacups, and even universal styles that match multiple cups. Every design has been put through its paces to make sure it stacks, cleans, and serves up beautifully.
Trade-Ready Saucer Styles
Check out these options:
- Espresso saucers with precision-fit wells – the perfect place for those delicate espresso cups.
- Classic tea saucers with a flat base – a timeless look that never goes out of style.
- Universal saucers for mixed-service use – great for businesses that don’t stick to one type of cup.
- Heavy-duty vitrified porcelain – the kind of quality that will withstand the daily hustle and bustle of a busy cafe
Each style is designed to work seamlessly with our commercial mug and cup lines. They clean quickly, dry evenly, and can handle the wear and tear of heavy use.
Some buyers like to match their saucers and cups from the same range. Others like to mix and match to save space or simplify ordering – either way works as long as the sizing is consistent.
A Tip from Café Operations
“When we switched cup suppliers, we learned the hard way to check the saucer fit. Just a few millimetres off the base and cups start sliding all over the place. Don’t make the same mistake we did!”
