# Boreal **Source:** https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/brands/degrenne/degrenne-tableware/boreal/ **Site:** Bentons — UK trade supplier of commercial tableware, glassware and cutlery for hospitality. **Type:** Product category **Products in this category:** 2 You can browse Boreal at Bentons for your portions of food and the depth of the dish. You will find the collection within [Degrenne Tableware](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/brands/degrenne/degrenne-tableware/), alongside the related ranges in that part of the catalogue. Your guests use each piece as part of a meal or drinks service, with the shape and size affecting its place on the table. ## Boreal in the collection The catalogue includes **Degrenne Boreal Shallow Oval Coupe Bowls 235 x 200 mm (Pack of 6)** alongside **Degrenne Boreal Wide Rimmed Pasta Bowls 290 mm (Pack of 3)**. ## Bowl depth and presentation Your chef can spread food across a shallow bowl or build a portion within the sides of a deeper one. Those shapes produce different views of the same amount of food. A wide opening exposes more of the surface, while a narrower opening keeps the portion closer to the centre. A bowl also has a foot or base beneath that volume, so its widest dimension does not describe the area that rests on the table. You may serve soup in a bowl with a broad rim and use a deeper dish for a shared side. A rim leaves a border between the food and the point where someone holds the bowl. A deeper wall contains more of a sauce below the edge, although the usable serving amount remains below the vessel's full capacity. The outline affects how a spoon reaches the food, particularly at the junction between the base and the sides. ## Sizes and formats in Boreal Product titles in this selection include 200 mm and 290 mm measurements, with the stated dimensions attached to their individual items. You see those dimensions in the context of each product name, which distinguishes the size of one format from another within the collection. The catalogue examples include packs of 6 and 3, so the unit count differs between some of the named items. You can keep the same named item across several place settings or use separate formats for the different parts of a meal. ## Bowls through service Your dessert service can use bowls for layered food as well as for single portions. In a clear vessel, the side view forms part of the presentation; in an opaque one, guests mainly see the upper surface. A serving bowl has a different place on the table from an individual dessert bowl. Guests take food from the shared dish onto their own crockery, so the serving utensil belongs with that larger vessel. ## Related collections Your guests use [Table Knives](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/cutlery/table-knives/) beside the crockery when the meal includes food cut at the plate. The handle sits outside the plate's edge between mouthfuls, with the cutlery forming its own border around the food. You can also browse [Table Forks](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/cutlery/table-forks/) for the individual place settings. A guest's fork stays with their own plate, while a shared dish has a separate serving utensil for the food placed at the centre of the table. Your own service gives these pieces their place on the table. Staff handle the shared items between portions, while guests keep the pieces for their own food or drink at each setting. The named formats in Boreal separate those roles within the catalogue, with the product title identifying the item used for each part of service. ## Products on this page | Product | Brand | Code | Pack | Price ex VAT | Stock | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Degrenne Boreal Wide Rimmed Pasta Bowls 290mm (Pack of 3)](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/product/degrenne-boreal-wide-rimmed-pasta-bowls-290mm-pack-of-3/) | Degrenne | 207140 | Box of 3 | £55.00 | In stock | | [Degrenne Boreal Shallow Oval Coupe Bowls 235 x 200mm (Pack of 6)](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/product/degrenne-boreal-shallow-oval-coupe-bowls-235-x-200mm-pack-of-6/) | Degrenne | 207136 | Box of 6 | £95.00 | In stock | Page 1 of 1, 2 products in total. --- [Site overview for agents (llms.txt)](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/llms.txt) · [Agent and developer documentation](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/for-agents/) · [MCP server](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/mcp)
