HIS Announces Elegant La Rochere Glassware for Catering Excellence

As service season gets into full swing, presentation becomes just as important as preparation when it comes to memorable meals. The HIS Hygiene & Catering team is excited to introduce a new supplier for our stores – Artis UK, a trusted name in premium tableware and glassware.

Through our new partnership, all of our customers at HIS now have access to La Rochere, who has been creating glass for over 500 years... Established in 1475, they continue to uphold their traditional side while progressing in creating glassware that remains durable and reliable. We’re delighted to add this exceptional range to our shelves and can’t wait for you to see it in store.

Bringing Style to Every Service

For caterers, restaurants and anyone preparing for a busy service, safety and hygiene are always key – but presentation still matters. The La Rochere Dessert Collection blends classic design with practicality, ideal for serving puddings, desserts or even signature drinks.

La Rochere’s pieces are specifically designed for hospitality, meaning they are strong, durable and capable of withstand constant use within relevant environments. You can get the premium feel without worrying about easy breakages, making them perfect for both commercial (and home!) use for sophistication and reliability.

Beyond just the Dessert Collection, La Rochere offers an extensive range of high-quality glass/tableware suitable for all styles of service and hospitality. Now you may wonder what else Artis supply? Here is a sample of the premium products we now offer.

Enigma – Modern, Functional and Fully Stackable

Ideal for fast paced stressful environments - the Enigma collection provides reliable, modern glassware. Designed with the ONIS Xtratuff strengthening treatment, these glasses offer exceptionally high durability, are dishwasher safe, made in Europe and fully stackable – actively preventing breakages and running out of space.

Experts’ Collection – Fine Wine and Cocktail Glassware

Crafted alongside wine expert Barbara Verbeek, this elegant collection features perfectly shaped bowls designed to enhance every drop. The thin stems and build ensure both sophistication and stability is present. Ideal for anyone wanting that premium feel.

Perception – Strength, Style and One-Piece Construction

Built for busy bars and restaurants, the Perception range combines style with strength. Its one-piece stemware build improves it’s durability, while shorter stems create a stable balance that makes handling much easier. With a classic bowl shape and it’s chip-resistant design, it even comes with Safedge and Rim & Foot Lifetime Guarantee.

Alongside those collections, Artis offers a wide range of glass and tableware such as:

Stemmed Glasses - wine, champagne or whatever else is on show, these pieces give customers a premium table presentation.

Hygiene – The Key to Every Kitchen

While presentation catches the eye, hygiene remains the foundation of every successful catering operation. With service levels often increasing throughout the year, maintaining a consistent hygiene routine is essential for smooth running and compliance with food safety standards.

At HIS, we stock an extensive selection of cleaning and hygiene supplies – from surface sanitisers and dishwasher detergents to paper hygiene products and food-safe cleaning tools. Keeping these essentials well stocked ensures that every meal not only looks impressive but meets the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.

Our wide range of catering equipment includes everything from food preparation tools and storage containers to serving utensils and kitchen materials, helping businesses stay efficient and compliant during busy service periods.

Combining Practicality and Presentation

The addition of Artis UK as a supplier complements our existing hygiene and catering products perfectly. At HIS, we have long been a one-stop shop for professional and domestic caterers across the Highlands, providing trusted brands for the kitchen, front of house, and cleaning areas.

With this new range, we’re making it easier for you to run and maintain a great operation – combining practicality and style to enhance your service right from the beginning.
