The first job when choosing your Denby tableware is to decide whether you are looking for a set that will just be for casual dining (ie. you and your family), for entertaining, or even for both. We have beautiful ranges that are ideal for every situation, plus you can buy individual pieces separately should you find you need extra dinner plates, for example.

You may want your dinner service to match some existing dinnerware that you already have. Our Denby tableware ranges are also available in a wide variety of colours and patterns, so you should be able to find what you need to have a fully coordinated table. We also have coordinating and matching cookware for certain ranges, so you can go straight from the oven to the table without worrying about it ruining the overall effect by looking out of place. All Denby products are of the highest quality and selected items in our cookware range are also covered by our 10 year guarantee.

White is also easy to coordinate with other existing items of tableware, even if the plates or dishes themselves are of a different design, creating a mix and match look. If you are afraid that white may be a little too minimalist for your style, you can always choose unusual shapes or textures to liven things up a bit. The Denby White Squares range is just one example of how we do this and looks effortlessly stylish. You can buy pieces individually to make up your own set, or our 16-piece Entertaining Set has everything you need for the perfect dinner party or everyday dining at home, complete with white wine glasses as well as dinner plates, tea plates and soup/cereal bowls. Another way of brightening up the table is with stylish table decoration such as tablecloths, placemats and napkins, as well as candles and centrepieces if you have the room.

White crockery sets also make for lovely wedding gifts, especially if you don’t know how the happy couple’s home is decorated or what existing crockery they already have. It is also thought that white plates make food look its most attractive, and this is why most restaurants use white plates and dishes themselves.

One of the biggest problems when it comes to cleaning glasses by hand is that they can be left smudged or cloudy, particularly if you have hard water where you live. One way around this is to use cheap, white toothpaste applied with a toothbrush! Clean your glass with this and then rinse and it will be nice and shiny.

When it comes to cleaning your beautiful Denby wine glasses, the best method is just to rinse the glass several times in hot water using no detergent and then dry upside down in a rack or on a clean towel or mat. If this isn’t enough to clean the glass, then use a very mild detergent sparingly, but make sure you rinse it plenty.

If you are a lucky dishwasher owner, then this is the best way to clean your glassware, and using rinse agent will make sure that your glasses are always sparkling. If you are putting wine glasses in the dishwasher, then add less detergent than normal and try and remove the glasses as soon as possible to dry and put them away, always using a lint-free, cotton tea towel.

More than perhaps any other item in the cupboard, glasses tend to be used separately and individually as each member of the household grabs a drink at different times of the day and takes themselves off to different rooms of the house. However, when you come to eat together or have a dinner party, you want your table to look nice with a set of glasses that not only match each other, but that also match your dinner service too. Much of our glassware has been designed to form part of our most popular ranges of dinnerware. So, for example, if you own any of the Denby Jet ranges (Black, Grey, Dots, Stripes or Skyline), we have coordinating glasses to complete your perfect dinner table. This particular range includes dessert bowls, large and small tumblers, and red or white wine glasses.

Our glasses are all sold in boxes of two, so you can better buy the number you need for your household.

They say that we eat with our eyes first, so one factor that will help make the food look deliciously appetising is a great set of crockery. Dinner plates and other crockery should complement the food, each other, the rest of the table and the home décor so choose your dinner service accordingly. We have some beautiful ranges available such as Denby Azure and Imperial Blue. You’re sure to be able to find the right colour to stand out on your dinner table.

Choose your table cloth and napkins to contrast with and complement the dinner service. So, for example, if you have gone for a white range, a nice bright colour will be eye catching. Learn how to fold napkins into pretty shapes and consider a table runner for down the middle of the table to add a touch more style. It will also provide extra protection for hot dishes placed in the centre.

If you use a charger plate, there is no need for placemats, but otherwise these are advisable to protect your table and coasters are essential to avoid nasty glass rings on your tablecloth!

Our other dinnerware sets are available in different colours, so you can find something to match your dining room decor or just your personal tastes. Many of our sets, including the Azure and Imperial Blue ranges, combine the attractive colours with a white centre, so you can benefit from the best of both worlds. Adding a bit of colour gives your dinner table a bit more character and allows you to create an attractive environment for hosting a dinner party. Many of our ranges, such as the Azure range, also have complementary items such as matching cookware, napkins or tablemats and coasters so you can have everything coordinating beautifully.

Our Denby Imperial Blue is one of the most popular ranges and is available for you to buy a fully coordinating set of dinnerware, cookware and glassware. Having everything matching in the same beautiful blue and white tones means that your table will be perfectly coordinated, even if you choose to serve your food at the table in the casserole dish it was cooked in, for example. We even have coordinating napkins, placemats and table runners.

Each range also has a wide selection of different products available, which you can buy separately. The Imperial Blue glassware, for example, includes large and small tumblers and white and red wine glasses. The Denby Imperial Blue range is also available to buy as 16 piece dinner or entertaining sets should you prefer to buy this way.

Denby glassware looks beautiful on any dining table and not only can you buy glasses that coordinate well with each other, but you can also get them to coordinate beautifully with your dinner service too. All our popular dinner services now have matching glassware too, so you can buy tumblers and wine glasses which perfectly match your China or Jet sets, for example. Plus, our Denby glasses are sold in boxes of two, so should you happen to want a replacement for a broken glass, you don’t need to buy a set of 4.

Denby dinnerware and glasses also make great gifts too. We have beautiful gifts ready for you to give, such as our 16 piece entertaining sets, which are great for anyone who likes to entertain. Our saucepan sets are also a wonderfully practical gift for anyone who loves to cook and means they’ll be able to cook in style from now on. When giving Denby dinnerware as a gift, the recipient will probably be itching to get it in use and no doubt it will appear on the dinner table shortly after!

No matter what occasion you want to give Denby for, if you’re not entirely sure what would suit the recipient’s tastes, we also have E-gift certificates available in different amounts starting at £10.

If you love to cook then you want cookware that’s going to stand up to the job and last for years. Selected items within the Denby cookware range come with a ten year guarantee, although if used correctly it should last much longer than ten years. They key to good food is the right recipe but also the right equipment to create it with. Many of our cookware ranges also match our Denby tableware ranges too, so you can take your casserole dish straight from the oven to the table, knowing that it won’t look out of place.

All of our cookware ranges are extensive, with pieces to suit whatever your cooking style may be. As well as cast iron cookware, we also have stainless steel, hard anodised or cast aluminium pans, plus numerous gadgets, utensils, knives and accessories – everything you need for the perfect kitchen. If you fancy giving yourself a treat, we also have a new Premium Cookware range, which is available in four beautiful colours – blue, black, azure and red.
