Collection: Cole & Mason

A pepper mill uses a hardened steel grinding mechanism to crack peppercorns. A salt mill uses a corrosion resistant mechanism, usually ceramic, because salt corrodes steel. They are not interchangeable, and putting salt through a pepper mill will damage it.

Table mills are sized to sit on a cover without dominating it and are turned by guests, so ease of grinding matters. Larger mills suit the pass or prep bench, where a chef wants more seasoning from fewer turns and refills less often.

A coarse grind gives visible cracked pepper and a sharper burst of flavour on a finished dish, while a fine grind distributes evenly through sauces and cooking. An adjustable mill lets one mill cover both, rather than holding two separate mills.

Alongside salt and pepper mills, the Cole & Mason range at Hospitality Connect includes gift sets, cutting boards, a mortar and pestle, and oil and vinegar pourers. In total 76 Cole & Mason products are listed.

Cole & Mason gift sets pair mills and accessories in retail packaging, which suits venues and stores selling homewares alongside food. Hospitality Connect lists 24 gift sets within the wider Cole & Mason range.
