Planning a summer BBQ? Need compostable cutlery? Give Inserv a call 👍

Planning a summer BBQ? Need compostable cutlery? Give Inserv a call 👍

Summer in Malta is all about the time spent by the sea. Whether you’re splashing your feet in the salty brew or gathering your friends for a permit-approved-yet-impromptu BBQ on a sandy beach, you’re going to need the gear to set you up right! 😎

The only downfall of a summer BBQ is the waste - our modern acceptance of plastics has allowed their use in literally every product we buy; especially food packaging. And this doesn't stop with the actual food that we consume, rather it stretches onto the disposable cutlery that we choose to use on our outdoor adventures. 🙌

Luckily, Inserv has the solution we’ve all been looking for when it comes to disposable cutlery and BBQ packs - iPak’s Nature Line Cutlery. 🍴



iPak’s Sustainable Nature Line Cutlery Solution

Inserv have set their focus on sustainability and eco-friendlier choices, with cutlery, picnic plates and paper cups and all the eating utensils you might need to give your beach BBQ that easy, relaxed vibe. ✌️

Made from discarded wood pulp and other ISCC certified biomaterials, iPak’s Nature Line Cutlery is a great sustainable alternative, its production contributes 0% to deforestation which in itself is an absolute plus and they’re pretty stylish too! 🌳

You can get your cutlery solution for all disposable and 100% compostable forks, knives and spoons - making your summer as stress-free as possible. And if you want to reduce your impact even further with your quick-fix option, you can even opt to give these cute cutlery bits a quick wash, or even pop them into the dishwasher - up to 200 times. When recycled and broken down, they also have the capacity to be reused another 5 times, transformed into other sustainable products during their lifecycle.



Truth be told, they’re also a lot more durable than the general white plastic forks that we’re generally lumped with at outdoor events like festivals and other summer activities that we might be able to get a taste of again this summer. Fingers crossed that the classic disposable forks are switched out for these more stylish and eco-conscious solutions. 💚

So since we’ve got all the tools we need to chomp down on our next sea-side meal, all we’ve got left to do is decide what to shovel up with our iPak Nature Line cutlery set. Here are some tips:

The Classic BBQ Combo

We all know this classic combo, we all know it and we all love it, even if we think we’re too fancy to enjoy a Dew Fresh pink sausage, the moment you notice someone lure them out of their cooler bag, your eyes tend to widen and you instantly lick your lips - heck, even the local vegetarians drool a little. 😋

The classic combo is none other than a couple of pork sausages, a juicy beef burger and a side of coleslaw, rice salad or potato salad - and if you’re lucky a good combo of them all! ♨️

Served up nicely on your iPak BBQ Kit or taken up a notch with the iPak Nature Line Cutlery option. 🍴

What a Maltese BBQ should be

Living in Malta means the bounty of the sea should always take priority in our meaty food choices, and what better way to enjoy an evening by the shores than with a freshly barbecued fish? 🐟

If you want to extend the sustainability of your spread to more than just your Nature Line cutlery choice, why not opt for a filleted mackerel with a basil and chilli oil dressing or maybe a grilled za’atar spiced calamari with tomato salsa and a generous squeeze of lemon. 🦑

Best served with a fresh salad and a wedge of bread to soak up all the oil based juices. 🥗

A Surf ‘n’ Turf Combo supreme

This is the supreme kind of spread that will usually serve you and your special someone, a small BBQ set up plus a trip to the butcher and fish monger just as you drive to your beach destination. On order, a rib eye for each of you, plus a couple of oysters and local red prawns - we told you it was special. 🦐

These guys will cut through your steak, no problem!


Park yourself by the shore, slap your steak on the grill, prep your oysters with a dash of raspberry vinegar and a sprinkle of chilli flakes, choose to eat your prawns crudi or make some space on the grill. Crack open a bottle of chilled white wine and you’ve got yourself the ultimate date night. ❤️‍🔥

Simply serve up on your fully recyclable iPak BBQ Kit and you’re ready to go! ✅



A Vegan Alternative

If you want to go the full sustainable mile, why not use your Nature Line Cutlery to scoop up a vegan BBQ spread? 🐰

Some of the best grilled foods happen to be veggies like Portobello mushrooms drizzled with olive oil and topped with a tangy pico de gallo, whole corn on the cob with a shmear of your favourite vegan mayo, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and a squeeze of lime or even a garlic and miso marinated firm tofu, grill marks included - all served with a fresh red cabbage slaw and some grilled pineapple for that sweet kick. 🍍

Now that sounds like the perfect guilt-free BBQ to serve with a beachy mojito, right? 🍹

Finding your own way to make the most out of summer might mean skipping dinner in front of the telly and replacing it with a more dynamic view of the sea - maybe even head north and watch the sunset over Golden Bay… a quick fix BBQ and iPak’s Nature Line Cutlery at the ready. 🌅

The perfect pair, and your new outdoor besties.


While packing your own reusable plates and cutlery will always be the most sustainable option, for those times when you need a quick solution for your spontaneous plans, or maybe just want to forget about all your extra errands for the day, choose iPak’s Nature Line Cutlery from Inserv and take that well deserved break… plus you’ll be giving the planet its well-needed break too. 🌍
