🔥 Stock Up for Bonfire Night: Make Your Pub or Venue Shine

Bonfire Night is one of the biggest social dates in the autumn calendar, and it’s a golden opportunity for pubs and venues to draw in crowds, serve hearty food and hot drinks, and keep guests warm long into the evening.

Whether you’re hosting fireworks in the garden, live music, or just a cosy outdoor gathering, planning your catering setup now will help you serve smoothly, reduce waste, and make the night a roaring success.

And the good news? Everything you need, from cups and trays to disposable plates and food packaging, can be found in the Bonfire Night Collection at Paper Cups Direct.

🍔 Serve Comfort Food, Fast

Bonfire Night crowds are hungry and cold, which means you’ll want to focus on easy-to-serve, handheld favourites like burgers, hot dogs, loaded fries, or pulled pork baps.

Use grease-resistant trays and sturdy chip boxes to keep portions tidy and serve at speed. The kraft chip trays and white food boxes in our Bonfire Night range are perfect for outdoor service: durable, heat-safe, and disposable for quick clean-up when the rush dies down.

Pro tip: Stock up on multiple tray sizes so you can serve sides, mains, and snacks efficiently without overfilling or wasting packaging.

☕ Keep Hands Warm with Double-Wall Cups

No Bonfire Night is complete without hot drinks. Whether it’s mulled cider, hot chocolate, spiced chai, or tea, you’ll need cups that protect customers’ hands and keep drinks hot.

Our ripple-wall and double-wall paper cups provide extra insulation and a premium look, ideal for busy service where you can’t double-cup every order. Pair them with matching sip lids and kraft napkins for a professional, branded feel.

And if you’re serving something special like Alchemy Mumbai Chai Tea, our cups show off that warm, spiced aroma perfectly, creating memorable moments your customers will love.

🔥 Safety Meets Simplicity

On Bonfire Night, your team will be busy managing crowds, keeping people safe, and keeping service flowing. Choosing disposables that work as hard as you do helps everything run smoother:

• No washing up

• Fast turnover at the bar or food stall

• Less risk from broken glass or crockery near the bonfire

The Bonfire Night Collection features eco-friendly kraft options too, so you can go green without sacrificing strength or quality.
