Top Serveware and Crockery Picks for a Perfect Brunch

Brunch might be the most leisurely meal that you can have! A wonderful combination of breakfast and lunch featuring your favourite breakfast staples like bacon and eggs, plus coffees, pastries, cheese platters and glasses of sparkling wine or Mimosa’s - enjoyed for hours between 11:00 and 14:00.

Here are our Top Picks of Maxwell & Williams serveware and crockery for hosting the perfect brunch:

Plates & Bowls

Your choice of plates and bowls sets the tone for your brunch affair. A classic white porcelain plate works beautifully for any setting, offering a timeless appeal. If you prefer a more vibrant table, choose patterned ceramics or stoneware in earthy tones.

For fruit salads, cereals, yogurt or mieliepap, a deep bowl with a slightly curved rim helps contain toppings and prevents spills. A shallow bowl or coupe plate is ideal for dishes like eggs Benedict, where presentation matters as much as taste.

Mugs & Cups: A Sip of Perfection

No brunch is complete without a warm cup of coffee or tea. May we suggest that the right cup or mug will make your cappuccino or tea taste even better? Think patterned mugs for large mugs of coffee,  small cups for espresso or a classic tea cup with saucer for a perfect cup of tea.

Serving Platters & Baking Dishes: A Touch of Luxury

If you love hosting or enjoy lazy brunch gatherings, serving platters and trays are a must. Platters are perfect for displaying fresh fruit, pastries or cheeses. Tiered serving stands add height and elegance to the table. Our Indulgence Baking vessels are perfect for warm brunch dishes like Shakshuka or Baked Oats.

The Finishing Touches: Egg Cups, Butter Dishes & More

Add finishing touches to your brunch table by including some special items like a butter dish, beautiful jugs and even egg cups. From elegant teaspoons for stirring your coffee to small butter knives for spreading jam, the right cutlery is essential. Don’t forget linen napkins and a stylish toast rack to keep slices crisp and warm.
