37 Dawson Street caused quite a splash when it first opened in 2012. Coming hot on the heels of the
tumultuous downturn, the luxurious bar with eccentric interiors cast off the shadows of austerity and gave a promise of better days to come. ‘We brought something a bit unexpected to town,’ agrees Sales & Marketing Manager, Callan Price. ‘It’s been so busy, right from the start. 37 Dawson Street is a lot of fun and people have responded well to it. They’re still excited by the interior and even after three years we still see lots of customers
taking photos. It’s a great talking point.’While the style catches the eye, substance is provided
by the front of house team who regularly notch up rave reviews online. ‘We receive a lot of positive comments about the team and that is something we’re really proud of. We’ve built a reputation for great customer service and enthusiastic staff, many of whom have been working with us for a long time. The bartenders are all really good friends, they’re very supportive of each other, they have fun together, and I think that the

customers pick up on that. 37 Dawson Street is a fun place to be.’
With a clientele ranging from the tech community to the fashion set, 37 Dawson Street is in constant demand. ‘We do a lot of events,’ explains Callan. ‘We are lucky to be able to work with a lot of large corporate companies, and the fashion and creative industries are also supportive. We can cater for anything from a table of six to large corporate events for 450 people.’
The bar attracts a wide audience from age 25 up and is popular with the after-work crowd as well as weekend party-goers. The Whiskey Bar at the back of the house, named for its 37 and more different whiskeys, is ideal for relaxing with a glass while listening to the sound of the baby grand piano and, elsewhere in the venue, cocktails, spirits and wine remain big sellers.
Bunzl McLaughlin supplies 37 Dawson Street with all glassware and also provides cost-effective disposables.
‘We work with 37 to find solutions that match the unique style and character of the venue,’ explains Fra Martin, Sales Manager, Bunzl McLaughlin. ‘We constantly look for innovative new products that we can bring to them. The majority of glassware we supply to 37 Dawson Street come from John Artis and they have been hugely popular. The Hobstar glass has been a great hit and became known as “the 37 glass” around town.’

Whether sleek and contemporary china or flowery vintage teacups, your tabletop settings instantly announce the type of food experience your customer can expect – smooth
high-end elegance, cool hipster, funky rustic and ethnic, or cosy home-baking.
Choosing crockery to suit the food is essential, and wise restaurateurs advise thinking about the food first, then choosing a plate that suits and highlights the main ingredients.
Durability is equally important, particularly in high-volume situations and the bottom line has to be fit-for-purpose tableware that functions well and is a pleasure to use. Savvy caterers and chefs choose crockery and table accessories that combine visual appeal with durability and ease-of-use for the customer.
Presentation & Eye AppealAt The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, executive chef Garry Hughes finds that plain white china gives the most scope for elegant presentation and he favours shallow, flat plates with no lip. ‘Simple is best,’ Garry says, ‘and ensures that the food plays the starring role.’
Standing Up to the JobWith catering covering high-volume student restaurants and large- scale sporting and corporate events, Pat O’Sullivan of Masterchefs
Hospitality says durability has to be paramount. As many as 3,000 university students use Masterchefs
Hospitality’s services daily and tableware can easily go through dishwashers six times during the course of the day. ‘Steelite vitrified tableware stands up to the hard wear and is chip resistant and stackable, which is important for crockery that is moved about on trolleys and transported to events.’
White dishes of simple, unfussy design are Pat’s choice, making table settings interchangeable and replacements easier. In his Café Noir outlets, Pat adds a dash to the all-white scheme with brightly coloured mugs which are easily changed and provide splashes of colour to the informal setting.
Fit for PurposeGarry Hughes advises chefs to look at every dish from the diner’s point of view – ‘how it eats is as important as how it looks; if a dish makes the food awkward to eat, that’s a fail.’ Case in point is his own favourite dessert of sherry trifle which he has seen served in glasses too narrow for the spoon. ‘I looked for a nicely shaped glass that shows the layers and is wide enough to comfortably scoop a bit of each layer in every spoonful.’
Your tableware is essential to the dining experience and is the canvas on which you display your art – it should complement, not restrict, your cuisine.
When sourcing new tableware, look for substance as well as style, advises MARILYN BRIGHT.

INSPIRED TABLEWARE
Bunzl McLaughlin’s Five Top Tips1. Durability is essentialYour tableware needs to stand up to heavy use, multiple spins in the dishwasher, and trolley transportation. Look for products which are proven to be hard-wearing, chip resistant, dishwasher safe, microwave safe and finger mark resistant. Those pesky smudges can ruin an otherwise perfect presentation.
2. Present the right imageTake time to think about the image you wish to project and choose tableware that reflects the personality of your restaurant. White is classic, colours are fun, patterns are comforting… Ask your suppliers for samples and test them with your dishes – you want tableware that showcases your food, not crowds it.
3. Make it easyThink of the first daters! You don’t want your customers to break out in a cold sweat as they grapple unsuccessfully with awkward implements. Again, try your preferred products for yourself. Are they easy to use? No? Then go back to the drawing board.
4. Set the toneChanging your tableware to suit the occasion can create the right mood in multifunctional dining areas. A chic dining room with elegant white china, sparklingly crystal and pressed linen is easily transformed into a cheerful breakfast space with patterned crockery, colourful tablecloths and cute vases of garden flowers. Your supplier will be able to suggest different ranges to suit your dining room at each service.
5. Choose a trusted supplierEmergencies happen. We’ve all had those kitchen nightmares when a tray-load of precious plates have come crashing down, or a client adds extra tables to their banquet at the last minute leaving you in a spin trying to source additional plates or glassware for your centrepiece dish. By partnering with a trusted supplier like Bunzl McLaughlin you can rest assured that, not only will you have access to an expansive collection of products from around the world, you can also call for back-up when you need it.

For friends Stephen Toman and Alain Kerloc’h, who first met while working in the three Michelin-starred L’Arpège in Paris, it was the produce,
sourced locally each season, and the thoughtfully crafted wine and drinks list that were billed as the main attraction when they opened OX in 2013.
Fine dining-quality food, served in a relaxed, simple environment is the idea behind this popular Belfast eatery, which has been shaking up the dining scene in Northern Ireland since its launch two years ago.
The interiors, designed by Oscar & Oscar, and tableware, supplied by Bunzl McLaughlin, were designed and meticulously selected to provide a neutral, yet warm and stylish backdrop.
‘Our brief was that the food and wine were to be the talking point, although décor and presentation was important,’ explains Yvonne O’Neill of Bunzl Catering Design Solutions (CDS). ‘The clients wanted all table top items to be clean lined, with no fuss, and to almost blend in to the minimalist décor of the room. We recommended handmade plates, stainless steel cutlery with a traditional bone handled butter knife, and Lucaris Crystal stemware.’
Yvonne, Area Manager for Bunzl McLaughlin, liaised with Alain and Stephen for over a year to help
them decide on their final selection of tableware. In the engine room, the owners paired with CDS to create a sleek, presentable, open plan kitchen, fitted with Fagor cooking and preparation equipment and Winterhalter ware and glass washers. ‘OX is one of the first restaurants in Ireland to install a Romatic water purification system for spotless glassware washing results,’ explains Gordon Enderson, Divisional Business Manager of Bunzl CDS. ‘Stephen is also a big fan of the Pacojet and the menu includes very creative dishes made with Pacojet.’
Stephen’s menus are designed around the best available seasonal produce and thoughtfully created so that every element on the plate has an integral role in showcasing the best quality ingredients. ‘The artistry is in the food – our role was to provide the canvas,’ explains Yvonne.
Strong as an OXIn OX, Belfast, it is the food that does the talking, matched conversationally by a carefully selected wine list. Chef Stephen Toman and front of house manager,
Alain Kerloc’h, have created elegant and understated interiors that allow the food and wine play a starring role.

Launched at CATEX in 2013 following the successful fulfilment of a number of high profile, large scale refurbishment
projects, CDS provides a total turnkey solution for clients, managing the design and fit-out process from concept to completion.
The team at CDS are experts in their field and skilled at designing the most effective kitchens, sourcing the best-performing equipment, and supplying the most stylish tableware and furnishings to make your restaurant or hotel stand out from the crowd.
‘We aim to create a unique value proposition and provide the lowest cost of ownership by supplying the very best energy efficient, highly automated commercial catering solutions,’ explains CDS Director, Martin Darling. ‘Foodservice operators are continually looking at costs. Our market information shows that staffing, energy and waste costs are always higher factors to consider when running a commercial food operation than the cost of the individual equipment appliances. At CDS these critical factors are fully factored into all recommendations that we make.’
Four Steps to Success‘We work in four phases,’ adds Gordon Endersen, Divisional Business Manager at CDS. ‘At the concept stage we listen to our customers. We want to know what you need, and what is right for your business. Concepts will always reflect our collaboration. By analysing the current space, we can provide our customers with drawings to reflect their project brief, always ensuring we make the
best use of the space available.’From concept, CDS moves to design. ‘The
design phase of the project is where the kitchen starts to take shape, the visuals of how the new kitchen designs will look and the specification of the commercial kitchen equipment come together. We share these with our customer, and once agreed, we begin the implementation phase,’ says Gordon. ‘This is the build, where we offer everything from a simple delivery of a new kitchen design, right through to a complete turnkey solution, including interior fit-out, structural alterations and full mechanical and electrical services. Keeping the impact on our customer’s operations in mind, we work to find solutions with minimum disruption to your business.’
Finally, the CDS team work towards completion, Gordon explains. ‘After implementation, all equipment in a new commercial kitchen is checked and commissioned by our engineers. We provide expert training for all equipment operation and provide our customers with a project file containing as-built drawings, O&M manuals and warranty details.’
The CDS team’s goal is to create state-of-the-art kitchens and restaurants that are best in class. ‘We want our customers to be ahead of their competition, that’s why we are always looking to the future, to the next best thing in the catering industry. We want to provide our customers with leading edge, innovative solutions to enhance their competitive advantage,’ concludes Gordon.

Student chef, Jenny Quinn, and foodservice student, Anita Rushe, proved they were hospitality stars of the future when they
triumphed ahead of their peers at Southern Regional College’s Chef of the Year and Foodservice Student of the Year Competition this spring.
The students impressed a panel of Northern Ireland’s top chefs and hoteliers, including judges Noel McMeel, head chef, Lough Erne Resort, and James McGinn, general manager, Europa Hotel, in an intense competition where competitors were tasked with preparing and serving a gourmet meal to distinguished guests. As part of their award, Jenny and Anita will now undertake a highly-sought after work placement at the five-star Lough Erne Resort in Fermanagh.
‘Supporting this event, together with our friends in Churchill China, provided us with a great opportunity to inspire a future generation of hospitality leaders,’ explains Bunzl McLaughlin’s Managing Director, Noel Branagh, who joined Noel and James on the judging panel. ‘As a trusted partner in the hospitality industry, we believe it is our duty to support the community, and events such as the Chef of the Year and Foodservice Student of the Year competition provide us with a great opportunity to stimulate the industry at ground level.’
Your Partner in HospitalitySponsorship of Southern Regional College’s student competition came hot on the heels of CATEX 2015, Ireland’s largest foodservice event, which was sponsored by Bunzl Ireland in February and Bunzl McLaughlin will also support Food & Bev Live, the Irish Foodservice Suppliers Alliance exhibition which will take place at Citywest, Dublin next February.
Noel Branagh comments: ‘Trade events like Food & Bev Live are vitally important for the industry, providing operators with a platform where they can keep up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in the industry. We are proud supporters of these events and view them as a valuable opportunity to engage with existing and potential customers.’
