From Plates to Glasses: Essential Outdoor Tableware for Your Summer Parties
Summer’s here, and it’s the perfect excuse to move mealtimes outside. Whether you’re hosting a laid-back BBQ, a garden gathering or a sunny picnic in the park, having the right outdoor tableware can make all the difference. The good news? Creating a stylish setup doesn’t have to cost a fortune. With Poundland’s affordable and cheerful range of outdoor plastic tableware, you can enjoy effortless summer dining with everything you need to serve in style.
Outdoor Tableware: The Basics You’ll Need
When choosing outdoor dining tableware, practicality is key. We recommend opting for garden plates, bowls and glasses that are reusable, sturdy and easy to clean, but still look the part. Poundland’s range of colourful outdoor tableware ticks every box, making it easier than ever to throw a fuss-free summer party that feels bright, welcoming and totally on theme.
Plates for Outdoors: Build Your Table from the Base Up
No outdoor spread is complete without a strong set of plates that can handle everything from burgers to salad. Our Reusable Plastic Plates are available in sunny shades of Blue, Yellow and Pink, available in packs of 4, and are just the thing for alfresco meals. Lightweight but durable, they’re a go-to choice for garden plates that look good and work hard. At £1 for a pack of 4, these garden plates are a must-have for the picnic and al-fresco season ahead.
Mix and match the colours for a playful twist or stick to one for a coordinated look – either way, our outdoor plates are perfect for everything from spontaneous picnics to more formal garden get-togethers. Plus, they’re reusable, helping you cut down on waste while keeping your party budget friendly!
Bowls for Sharing: Perfect for Salads, Snacks and Sides
From pasta salad and crisps to fresh fruit and coleslaw, the best summer parties always feature shareable dishes, and that means you’ll need the right bowls. Our Reusable Plastic Salad Bowls in Pink, Blue, and Yellow are perfect for outdoor plate and bowl sets that add colour and functionality to your garden table. At just £1 each, these bowls match perfectly with our plates, so your garden tableware feels instantly pulled together.
Whether you're hosting a family BBQ or taking lunch outdoors with friends, they’re the perfect way to serve up summer favourites. Before lighting up the BBQ, be sure to check if it’s clean and ready for the season ahead. For tips and tricks in cleaning your BBQ like a pro, check out our guide.
Sip in Style: Glasses and Tumblers That Won’t Smash
Outdoor entertaining calls for drinkware that looks great and won’t shatter if someone gets a bit too enthusiastic during a garden game! Our Pack of Two Reusable Plastic Wine Glasses are available in bold colours like Yellow, Blue and Pink, making them perfect for wine, spritzers or elderflower fizz served under the sun.
For those who prefer a soft drink, our Reusable Plastic Tumblers in Pink and blue are perfect for everything from squash and lemonade to cocktails and mocktails. For ready-made drinks for younger children, our Summer Party Drink Dispensers in Orange and Green Leaf designs will save parents running back and forth to the kitchen. Combine with our outdoor plates and bowls, and you’re all set for relaxed summer gatherings, without breaking the bank.
Table Décor That Ties It All Together
Once you’ve got your garden tableware sorted, it’s time to add a few finishing touches. A colourful table runner, some playful napkins or even a handful of fresh flowers in a jam jar can truly transform your outdoor table setting. Use matching shades across your plates, bowls and tumblers for a clean look, or mix it up for a vibrant, summery feel. Either way, our plastic dinnerware plates and bowls help you create a welcoming atmosphere that’s big on colour and low on cost.
