What's So Good About Bamboo Dinnerware?
Posted on 29 September 2025

We love to use Bamboo dinnerware on our Outdoor Table – and so do our customers. It’s practical, tough, beautiful to look at, and a natural choice for anyone who enjoys dining outdoors, camping, or simply wants stylish tableware that’s a little kinder to the planet.
Eco-Friendly Bamboo Dinnerware for Everyday Use
To keep keep things simple, today I'm going to highlight four versatile pieces in the range, each designed to suit everyday meals as well as entertaining:
- Cup – 13cm tall, holds 400ml, weighs 99gms. Perfect for smoothies or cold drinks, great for kids.
- Small Bowl – 15cm across and 7cm deep, weighs 140gm. Ideal for breakfast, soups, desserts or ice cream.
- Shallow Bowl – 23cm across and 4cm deep, weighs 265gm. A true all-rounder – great for pasta, salads, or even as a serving bowl for chips, nuts or party nibbles.
-
Dinner Plate – 28cm across, sturdy, stylish and ready for every meal. Weighs only 356gm
With a higher bamboo fibre content, each piece has a gorgeous matte finish – it looks and feels like stoneware but is up to 70% lighter than ceramic. That makes it the best dinnerware for camping, caravanning and picnics, where every bit of weight matters.
Lightweight Outdoor Tableware in Stunning Colours
Bamboo tableware isn’t just practical – it’s beautiful too. Our range includes 11 colours to mix and match, so you can create your own unique table setting.
Muted tones:
- Oat (cream)
- Cocoa (chocolate brown)
- Dijon (soft yellow)
- Mint (pale green)
- Sea Blue (customer favourite!)
- Stone (soft grey)
- Charcoal (deep and moody)
Bright summer shades:
- Raspberry (trending this summer)
- Sunny Yellow
- Tangerine (A brilliant orange)
- Parakeet Green
The fun really begins when you start pairing colours together. Try Charcoal and Oat for a modern contrast, or Mint and Stone or Oat and Mint for a calming, elegant setting (I once styled this combo on a gold tablecloth for Christmas, and it looked stunning! You can find it on our Instagram page). For summer, you can’t go past Parakeet Green with Sunny Yellow for a bright, happy vibe.
And the best part? All colours complement our patterned serving ware pieces too, so you can build your own collection and create a look that feels completely yours.
Plus there's a surprise! There's a new colour coming to the range in a few weeks - Blush. A soft peachy pink inspired by spring blossoms. I can't wait to reveal it to you.
Why Bamboo Dinnerware is the Natural Choice
Here’s what makes bamboo such a clever choice:
- Durable – tougher than regular plates and bowls, built to last.
- Lightweight – up to 70% lighter than ceramic, easy to carry and pack.
- Eco-conscious – made from bamboo fibre, coloured with non-toxic vegetable dyes, BPA free and degradable.
- Stylish – looks like stoneware, but with a natural matte finish and colours you’ll love.
Question - What do you have planned this summer? Are you hosting friends in the backyard, setting up camp in the bush, or enjoying a simple meal at the caravan park? Whatever your days are looking like, you can bet that bamboo dinnerware will make your life easier – and more beautiful.
