About Our Poly Wicker Bread Baskets
Our bread baskets are made from poly wicker — a durable synthetic rattan that gives the authentic look and texture of natural wicker without any of the drawbacks. Poly wicker is waterproof, will not splinter or fray, and cleans easily between hires. Each basket arrives inspected, clean and ready for table service.
Poly wicker is the material of choice for restaurants and hotels because it holds up to heavy use while maintaining that warm, artisan appearance guests expect. For a polished finishing touch, line each basket with a linen napkin before filling with bread — it elevates the presentation and keeps rolls warm at the table.
When to Use Bread Baskets
Bread baskets bring a welcoming, restaurant-quality detail to any seated meal. They are popular for:
- Wedding breakfasts — a thoughtful addition to the table setting, keeping guests happy while courses are served.
- Restaurant-style service — essential for supper clubs, pop-up dining and private chef events where bread service sets the tone.
- Supper clubs and private dining — shared bread baskets encourage a convivial, family-style atmosphere.
- Corporate lunches and gala dinners — a small detail that makes a big impression on the table.
As a guide, allow 1 bread basket per 4–6 guests. For a wedding of 100 guests, 20–25 baskets will comfortably cover every table.
