The Dickies Mens Everyday Trousers are a practical workwear staple built for people on their feet all day. Constructed from a 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and breathability — useful in kitchen environments where comfort over a long shift matters as much as robustness.
The trousers are designed with working use in mind. Multiple pockets provide storage for everyday items, and the inclusion of bottom-loading knee pad pockets makes them a practical choice for roles involving kneeling or working at floor level — relevant for installation and maintenance staff as well as kitchen porters in larger operations.
- 65% polyester / 35% cotton blend for durability and breathability
- Multiple pockets for everyday storage
- Bottom-loading pockets compatible with knee pads
- Button fastening waistband
- Available in a wide range of waist sizes
It is worth noting these are general-purpose work trousers rather than garments rated for food hygiene compliance or flame resistance. They are well suited to back-of-house maintenance roles, equipment installation teams, or general site work rather than front-of-house or high-hygiene kitchen areas where specific workwear standards may apply.
If you are equipping a team and are unsure which workwear best fits your environment or any applicable compliance requirements, the team are happy to help point you in the right direction.
From £16.79(£20.15 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas trousers are a practical, no-fuss workwear staple found in kitchens across the catering industry. Cut in a classic black and white check, they follow a relaxed unisex fit with an extra-wide elasticated waistband that accommodates long shifts without restriction. Construction is in a 65% polyester, 35% cotton polycotton blend — a well-established choice for kitchen workwear that balances durability with everyday comfort.
The polycotton fabric holds up well to the kind of repeated commercial laundering that kitchen workwear demands. It dries relatively quickly, resists heavy creasing, and keeps its shape across a working week. The buttonless waistband is a practical detail — there is nothing to break, catch, or work loose during a busy service, and it removes a common point of failure in cheaper workwear.
- Wide elasticated waistband for comfort during long shifts
- Buttonless construction reduces wear-point failures
- Polycotton blend suited to frequent commercial laundering
- Relaxed unisex cut works across mixed brigades
- Classic check pattern appropriate for front-of-house kitchen visibility
These trousers are well suited to kitchen brigades of most sizes — from small independent restaurants to larger contract catering operations. They are a sensible everyday choice rather than a specialist garment. If your team works in more demanding heat environments or requires a heavier-duty fabric, it is worth considering whether a more robust workwear option would better suit your operation.
If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure which sizes or quantities to order, the team is happy to help you work through it.
From £21.21(£25.45 inc VAT)
The Chef Works Essential Baggy Trousers are a straightforward, traditionally-cut kitchen trouser designed for comfort during long shifts. Made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton polycotton blend, they offer a practical balance of durability and breathability, qualities that matter in a busy kitchen where staff are on their feet throughout service.
The loose, baggy fit allows freedom of movement at the pass, prep bench, or grill section without restriction. The long leg can be rolled up to suit different heights, and the elasticated waistband removes the need for buttons, meaning nothing to break or replace during heavy daily laundering. They hold their shape well across repeated wash cycles, which keeps replacement costs manageable in kitchens where workwear takes a daily battering.
- No buttons, which reduces failure points and speeds up laundering
- Long leg with roll-up option suits a range of heights
- Elasticated waist for a comfortable, adjustable fit
- Polycotton construction balances durability with breathability
- Easy-care fabric suitable for high-frequency commercial washing
These trousers are well suited to kitchens looking for a reliable, no-fuss workwear option at a sensible price point. They are a practical everyday choice for chefs, kitchen porters, or back-of-house staff who need comfortable, hard-wearing trousers without unnecessary features. For kitchens where spillage is a particular concern, a Teflon-coated polycotton version is also available in the range, offering additional resistance to staining.
Available in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL and 4XL.
Size guide (XS to 2XL)
| Size | Waist | Inseam |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 26" to 28" | 32.5" |
| S | 30" to 32" | 32" |
| M | 34" to 36" | 32" |
| L | 38" to 40" | 32" |
| XL | 42" to 44" | 32.5" |
| 2XL | 46" to 48" | 33" |
If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure which specification suits your kitchen best, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£8.99(£10.79 inc VAT)
The Southside NY Denim Chef Trousers are a practical, everyday workwear option for kitchen teams who want a smarter, more contemporary alternative to traditional checked or plain black trousers. Made from 100% cotton denim, they offer a unisex fit that works across a range of body types and is straightforward to size consistently across a whole brigade.
The elasticated and tie waistband makes them comfortable during long shifts where standing and movement are constant — a detail that matters more than it might seem after a busy service. Side and back pockets provide practical storage for a thermometer, order pad, or small tools without getting in the way.
- 100% cotton construction — breathable and washable for daily kitchen use
- Unisex fit suitable for mixed kitchen and front-of-house teams
- Elasticated tie waistband for comfort through long shifts
- Side and back pockets for practical on-the-job storage
- Contemporary denim style suitable for open-kitchen and casual dining environments
It is worth bearing in mind that denim, while durable, is a heavier fabric than some lightweight kitchen trouser alternatives. For very high-temperature kitchen environments, operators may prefer a lighter cotton option. These trousers are well suited to casual dining, café kitchens, food trucks, and open-kitchen restaurants where presentation to guests is part of the brief.
If you are kitting out a full team and want to confirm sizing or suitability for your uniform policy, we are happy to help you work through the options.
From £39.30(£47.16 inc VAT)
These Chef Works Professional Series trousers are a straightforward, well-made option for kitchen teams looking for reliable everyday workwear. The black herringbone weave fabric gives a clean, professional appearance that holds up well through repeated commercial laundering — a practical consideration in any busy kitchen environment.
The polycotton construction, blending 65% polyester with 35% cotton, strikes a sensible balance between durability and comfort during long shifts. The polyester content helps the fabric resist creasing and retain its shape, while the cotton component adds breathability. For kitchen staff on their feet for ten or twelve hours, that balance matters more than it might seem.
The waistband is designed with both elastic side panels and belt loops, which means wearers can adjust the fit to their preference — the elastic provides comfort and freedom of movement during service, while the belt loops allow for a more secure, tailored fit when needed. Key practical points for kitchen operations include:
- Elastic side panels for comfort during active kitchen service
- Belt loops for a more secure, adjustable fit
- Black herringbone weave suits both front and back of house presentation
- Polycotton fabric withstands regular commercial laundering
- Unisex cut suitable for mixed kitchen teams
These trousers are well suited to chefs, kitchen porters, and front-of-house staff who need a smart, practical uniform piece. They are a solid day-to-day option for most kitchen environments. If your team has more specific requirements around fit range or fabric weight, it is worth having a conversation with us before ordering in volume.
£18.99(£22.79 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas trousers are a straightforward, practical workwear trouser designed for daily use in commercial kitchens. Made from an 80% polyester and 20% cotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and comfort without being heavy or restrictive during a long service.
The polycotton fabric is lightweight enough to wear comfortably in warm kitchen environments, and the elasticated waistband means the fit stays consistent through a busy prep session or service period without needing adjustment. The large black and white check pattern is a traditional kitchen choice for good reason — it masks minor splashes and light staining well, helping the trousers look presentable through a full shift.
From a practical standpoint, these trousers are well suited to teams that manage their own laundering in-house or through a commercial laundry service. The polycotton construction holds up well to repeated washing at commercial temperatures without significant shrinkage or colour fade over time.
- Elasticated waistband keeps fit consistent throughout service
- Lightweight polycotton suitable for warm kitchen environments
- Classic check pattern reduces visible staining between washes
- Rated for commercial laundering
These are a solid everyday option for kitchen brigades looking for reliable, no-fuss workwear. They are particularly well suited to back-of-house teams where comfort and practicality take priority. For those working in front-of-house or chef-patron roles where a smarter finish is needed, a tailored trouser may be a better fit.
If you are unsure about sizing or need to kit out a full brigade, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£34.28(£41.14 inc VAT)
The Dickies Women's Flex Everyday Trousers are a practical workwear trouser designed for roles that involve constant movement. Made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend, they offer a balance of durability and comfort that holds up well across long shifts.
The fabric is cut to allow a good range of movement without restricting bends, stretches, or crouching — useful in kitchen and catering environments where staff are rarely standing still. The fit is smart enough for front-of-house roles while being practical enough for back-of-house wear.
- Flex fabric construction for unrestricted movement throughout long shifts
- Multiple pockets including bottom-loading pockets suitable for knee pad inserts
- 65/35 poly-cotton blend balances durability with everyday comfort
- Presentable finish suitable for both kitchen and front-of-house use
- Available in a range of waist sizes to suit different fits
These trousers are well suited to catering staff, kitchen porters, and front-of-house team members who need reliable workwear that moves with them. They are a sensible choice for operators kitting out a team on a practical budget without sacrificing comfort or presentation.
If you are unsure about sizing or need guidance on workwear quantities for a team, we are happy to help.
£12.99(£15.59 inc VAT)
These are straightforward black chef trousers from Nisbets Essentials, made from a polycotton blend and designed to hold up through regular commercial kitchen use. The elasticated drawstring waist gives a workable fit across different body shapes, and the cut allows enough freedom of movement for the demands of a busy service environment. A single back pocket provides somewhere practical to keep a probe thermometer, pen, or small cloth without having to leave the kitchen.
The polycotton construction is suited to commercial laundering, which matters in sites where uniform turnover is high and trousers are being washed frequently at volume. The material resists everyday wear reasonably well for the price point, though these are positioned as a practical, cost-conscious option rather than a heavy-duty uniform garment.
- Elasticated drawstring waist for an adjustable, comfortable fit during long shifts
- Polycotton fabric handles regular commercial laundering without significant deterioration
- Single back pocket keeps small essentials accessible during service
- Unisex cut suits mixed kitchen teams without the need for separate sizing ranges
- Available in XS through to 2XL to cover a broad range of staff sizes
These trousers are a sensible choice for kitchens looking to keep uniform costs manageable, particularly for casual staff, high-turnover roles, or as backup uniform stock. Kitchens with stricter uniform standards or roles involving more intensive physical work may want to consider a more robustly constructed option.
If you are kitting out a larger team and want to talk through sizing or volume options, we are happy to help.
£18.99(£22.79 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas trousers are a practical, everyday workwear option for kitchen staff. Made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton polycotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and comfort for the demands of a busy professional kitchen environment.
The blue and white check pattern is a long-established choice in commercial kitchens — partly functional, partly traditional. The pattern helps to mask minor splashes and staining during service, which keeps the overall uniform looking presentable across a full shift without requiring a change of trousers mid-service.
In practical terms, the polycotton fabric holds up well to regular commercial laundering, which matters when trousers are washed frequently at high temperatures. The lightweight construction helps with comfort during long, hot shifts, though it is worth noting that polycotton offers less insulation from heat than heavier fabrics, which some operators consider a benefit in kitchen conditions.
- Breathable fabric to help staff stay comfortable during long service periods
- Check pattern reduces the visible impact of everyday splashes and spills
- Polycotton construction withstands repeated high-temperature laundering
- Relaxed cut allows ease of movement throughout service
These trousers are well suited to front-line kitchen roles — chefs, prep staff, and kitchen porters in restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and similar environments. They are a sensible, cost-effective option for operations that rotate uniform stock regularly or need to outfit larger teams without significant per-head outlay.
If you are unsure about sizing for your team or need guidance on building out a full uniform package, we are happy to help — just get in touch before placing a larger order.
£13.25(£15.90 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas chef trousers are a practical, unisex kitchen trouser designed for everyday commercial use. Cut in a relaxed baggy fit and offered here in charcoal, they are a straightforward workwear choice for kitchen brigades looking for comfort and consistency across a team uniform.
In a busy kitchen environment, comfort over a long shift matters more than many operators initially allow for. The elasticated waistband removes the need for a belt and accommodates movement freely, which is useful during prolonged periods on your feet. The charcoal colourway is a sensible choice for working kitchens — dark enough to minimise the appearance of everyday marks and spills without the formality of black.
The fabric blend — recycled polyester and cotton — brings together durability and breathability. The polyester content handles repeated commercial laundering without significant shrinkage or fading, while the cotton content keeps the material from feeling synthetic against the skin during a warm service. Being made partly from recycled polyester is worth noting for operators whose premises have sustainability commitments.
- Relaxed baggy fit suits a wide range of body shapes and movement
- Charcoal colour helps conceal everyday kitchen marks between washes
- Elasticated waist allows a comfortable fit without adjustment
- Recycled polycotton fabric holds up to regular commercial laundering
- Lightweight construction supports ventilation during busy service periods
These trousers are well suited to kitchen staff at any level — from commis to senior chef — and work across most hospitality settings. They are a stock garment, so consistent reordering for team use is straightforward.
If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure about sizing across your team, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
From £20.88(£25.06 inc VAT)
These chefs utility trousers from Southside are a practical workwear option for kitchen staff who spend long shifts on their feet. Made from a polycotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance between durability and comfort without the weight of a heavier fabric.
The slim fit cut and cool-vent panels behind the knees are intended to aid airflow during busy service periods — a straightforward but useful feature in hot kitchen environments. The elasticated waist with contrast ties makes for easy adjustment throughout a shift, and three pockets provide enough storage for everyday use without bulk.
- Polycotton construction for everyday durability and ease of care
- Vent panels behind the knees to help manage heat during service
- Elasticated waist with contrast ties for a secure, adjustable fit
- Three pockets for practical day-to-day storage
- Slim fit styling suitable for both front- and back-of-house roles
At 300g, these are on the lighter end of kitchen trouser options, which suits warmer kitchens well. They are not a heavy-duty or specialist garment, so operators running high-temperature or particularly demanding environments may want to consider a more robust option. Laundering is straightforward given the polycotton fabric, which is worth bearing in mind for sites managing their own linen.
These trousers are well suited to general kitchen and front-of-house roles where comfort and a clean, consistent appearance matter. If you are kitting out a team and need guidance on sizing or volume orders, feel free to get in touch.
£36.08(£43.30 inc VAT)
These are straightforward, practical kitchen trousers from Chef Works — a brand with a long-standing reputation in professional catering workwear. The classic fit gives a relaxed cut that allows freedom of movement during a full service, and the black colourway is a sensible choice in a working kitchen where spills and splashes are unavoidable.
Made from 100% cotton, the fabric breathes well, which matters in hot kitchen environments where synthetic blends can become uncomfortable over the course of a shift. The cargo-style design includes back and side pockets with Velcro fastenings, giving kitchen staff somewhere to keep a thermometer, cloth, or order pad without resorting to improvised solutions.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:
- Cotton construction supports comfort through extended hot kitchen shifts
- Black fabric minimises the visible impact of everyday kitchen marks and splashes
- Multiple pockets keep essentials accessible without disrupting workflow
- Velcro fastenings are straightforward to secure and less prone to snagging than button closures
- Unisex cut suits mixed kitchen teams without requiring separate lines
These trousers are well suited to most front-line kitchen roles — chefs de partie, commis chefs, kitchen porters, and prep staff. They are a functional everyday option rather than a premium chef uniform, and are priced accordingly. For brigade environments with a more formal uniform standard, it is worth considering whether a more tailored cut would better suit the operation.
If you are kitting out a larger team or want to discuss sizing across a mixed brigade, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£37.14(£44.57 inc VAT)
The Chef Works Women's Cargo Chef Trousers are a practical workwear choice for female kitchen professionals looking for a comfortable, functional trouser that holds up through long service periods. Constructed from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton polycotton blend, they balance durability with day-to-day wearability and are built to withstand repeated industrial laundering without losing shape or integrity.
In a busy kitchen environment, comfort and practicality matter more than most operators give credit for. The elasticated waistband accommodates movement through demanding shifts, while the relaxed hip and thigh cut allows for the kind of freedom needed when working at pace. The boot cut leg shape sits comfortably over kitchen footwear without creating a trip hazard.
The five-pocket configuration is a genuine operational advantage rather than a marketing feature. Having secure, accessible storage for a thermometer, notepad, or small tools reduces unnecessary movement during service. The pockets include two front, two back, and one dedicated leg cargo pocket.
- Five pockets including a cargo leg pocket for practical on-shift storage
- Elasticated waistband for comfort during extended kitchen service
- Relaxed fit through the hip and thigh allowing unrestricted movement
- Polycotton construction rated for repeated industrial washing
- Boot cut leg shape compatible with standard kitchen safety footwear
These trousers are well suited to chefs, kitchen assistants, and catering staff in hotels, restaurants, contract catering, and similar professional environments. They are available in larger sizes only, so are best suited to operators with those specific fit requirements.
If you are unsure about sizing or want to discuss workwear options across your team, the team at Advantage Catering Equipment is happy to help.
£25.00(£30.00 inc VAT)
These Portwest stretch slim combat trousers are a practical workwear option for kitchen and front-of-house staff who need freedom of movement alongside reliable everyday durability. Made from a polycotton blend with a degree of stretch, they sit closer to the leg than a standard cut without restricting movement during a busy shift.
The fabric performs well in the demanding conditions of a commercial kitchen environment. It breathes reasonably for a hardwearing cloth, helping staff stay comfortable during long service periods, and it holds up to repeated commercial laundering without losing its shape or colour quickly. The quick-dry characteristic is a practical advantage where uniform turnover between shifts matters.
From a day-to-day usability standpoint, the trousers are well thought out for working environments:
- Multiple pockets, front, back, and side, provide practical storage for small tools and personal items
- Velcro fastenings on pockets keep contents secure during active service
- The black colourway presents a clean, professional appearance and manages visible soiling better than lighter alternatives
- The slim fit suits front-of-house roles where a smarter appearance is expected alongside functional performance
These trousers are best suited to kitchen porters, prep staff, and front-of-house teams in catering and hospitality settings. They are a reliable everyday uniform option rather than a specialist protective garment. Operators requiring trousers with additional thermal, cut, or chemical resistance properties should consider a more specialist line.
Sizes: 30, 32, 34, 36 and 38.
If you are outfitting a team and have questions about fit, fabric suitability, or volume ordering, the team is happy to help you choose the right option.
From £27.06(£32.47 inc VAT)
The Chef Works Essential Baggy Trousers are a straightforward, traditionally cut kitchen trouser designed for comfort during long shifts. Made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend, they offer a practical balance between durability and breathability, characteristics that matter when a kitchen brigade is on their feet for ten or more hours a day.
The loose, baggy fit is well suited to the pace and physical demands of a working kitchen. Freedom of movement is rarely something chefs think about until they don't have it, and the cut here accommodates both the crouching and the striding that comes with busy service. The long leg can be rolled to adjust the length, which makes them a reasonable fit across a range of heights without the need for tailoring.
From a practical standpoint, these trousers are built around ease of use:
- No buttons to break or lose, so fastening is simple and reliable
- Polycotton construction launders well at standard commercial wash temperatures
- Loose cut reduces restriction during active kitchen work
- Adjustable leg length suits a range of heights
- Black check pattern is a kitchen standard that hides day-to-day marks between washes
It is worth noting that the standard polycotton fabric offers everyday practicality but is not treated for spillage resistance. For kitchens where liquid and grease contact is frequent, particularly pastry or sauce sections, a Teflon-coated version of this trouser provides additional protection and is worth considering.
These trousers suit kitchen staff in most catering environments: restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and pub kitchens. They are a dependable everyday option rather than a specialist or premium garment.
Size guide, as stated by the supplier (waist size and weight, all with a 33" inseam): XS 26"-28", 380g; M 34"-36", 410g; L 38"-40", 460g; XL 42"-44", 480g; 2XL 46"-48", 500g. No waist size or weight is stated for 3XL and 4XL.
Sizes: XS, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL and 4XL.
If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure which specification suits your team's roles, the team at Advantage are happy to talk it through.
£40.31(£48.37 inc VAT)
These unisex chef trousers from Chef Works are made from a blend of cotton and recycled polyester, the latter sourced from reclaimed plastic bottles. The result is a lightweight, comfortable trouser intended for all-day kitchen wear, available here in black and sized at 3XL.
In a busy kitchen environment, comfort and practicality matter throughout a long shift. The cotton and recycled polyester blend offers a degree of breathability alongside the durability that comes with a synthetic fibre component. Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended service periods, and the unisex cut makes them a straightforward choice for mixed brigade teams looking for a consistent uniform across the board.
- Lightweight fabric reduces discomfort during long shifts
- Unisex sizing simplifies uniform ordering for mixed teams
- Black colourway suits most kitchen uniform policies
- Recycled polyester content supports sustainability commitments
- Easy-care fabric suitable for frequent commercial laundering
These trousers are well suited to kitchen teams wanting to balance practicality with a more considered approach to workwear sourcing. They are a sensible everyday option for chefs and kitchen staff at all levels. If you need guidance on sizing or are kitting out a larger team with coordinated workwear, we are happy to help.
From £13.00(£15.60 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas trouser is a straightforward, practical workwear choice for kitchen brigades. Made from a polycotton fabric blend, they balance durability with day-to-day wearability, making them a sensible option for kitchens that need reliable, cost-effective uniform across a full team.
Polycotton holds up well under the demands of a working kitchen environment. The fabric resists the minor rips and snags that come with an active service, and it tolerates commercial laundering without significant deterioration over time — a practical consideration when you're turning uniform through a laundry cycle several times a week. The black colourway is a deliberate choice for kitchen use; it doesn't show the light staining and discolouration that builds up across a shift the way lighter colours do, which helps staff maintain a presentable appearance throughout service.
- Polycotton construction suitable for commercial laundering
- Black finish reduces visible staining during service
- Unisex cut available across a wide size range
- Breathable fabric helps with comfort during busy shifts
These are an everyday workhorse trouser rather than a premium chef uniform piece. They suit kitchens where practicality and value take priority — catering operations, contract kitchens, or any site kitting out a larger team on a controlled budget. If your operation requires a more structured or flame-resistant garment, it's worth looking at heavier-duty options within the range.
If you're unsure about sizing for your team or need to discuss uniform quantities, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to help you work through it.
£19.46(£23.35 inc VAT)
The Whites EasyFit trousers are a practical, everyday workwear option for kitchen and front-of-house staff. Made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and breathability — an important consideration for anyone spending a full shift in a hot kitchen environment. The Teflon coating is applied at fabric level, giving the material a degree of liquid repellency that helps minor spills bead away rather than soak straight in.
In a busy service environment, that coating makes a practical difference. Splashes from sauces, stocks, and oils are less likely to leave immediate visible marks, helping staff maintain a tidy appearance through a long shift. The black colourway also works in the wearer's favour here, as it masks minor residual marks that would show more readily on lighter fabrics.
From a practical standpoint, the Teflon finish also shortens laundering cycles — garments dry faster and tend to need less effort to come clean, which matters when you're turning around uniform quickly across a larger team.
- Elasticated waistband with no buttons — reduces a common point of failure in workwear
- Polycotton construction supports breathability during high-heat service periods
- Teflon coating repels liquids and eases washing
- Black colourway helps maintain a professional appearance through service
These trousers are well suited to catering staff who need a reliable, low-maintenance uniform option. They are not a heavy-duty chef trouser in the traditional sense, but for kitchen porters, prep staff, and front-of-house teams, they represent a practical everyday choice. If your team works in more demanding conditions or requires a more structured fit, it's worth considering whether a heavier-weight option would serve better.
If you're kitting out a team and are unsure about sizing, fit, or which trouser suits your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
From £30.76(£36.91 inc VAT)
The Chef Works Cool Vent Baggy Chefs Trousers are a practical workwear choice for kitchen brigades looking for comfort without sacrificing a professional appearance. Cut in a relaxed baggy fit, they allow freedom of movement during long service periods and are designed to be worn by both men and women. The black colourway is a standard choice across most brigade uniforms and holds its appearance well through regular commercial laundering.
The distinguishing feature of this trouser is the integrated Cool Vent panels, which improve airflow around the legs — a meaningful consideration in hot kitchen environments where temperature and sustained physical activity combine to make comfort a real operational concern. The polycotton construction (65% polyester, 35% cotton) balances breathability with durability, and the blend is well suited to the repeated washing cycles that commercial kitchen wear demands.
- Relaxed baggy fit supports unrestricted movement during busy service
- Cool Vent panels improve airflow in hot kitchen environments
- Polycotton blend handles frequent commercial laundering reliably
- Unisex cut suitable for mixed-gender kitchen teams
- Classic black colourway works across most brigade uniform policies
These trousers are a sensible everyday option for kitchen staff in cafés, restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations. They are not a heavy-duty protective garment and are not intended for environments requiring specialist PPE. If your team works in particularly high-heat or high-splash conditions, it is worth considering whether a heavier or more specialist fabric weight would be more appropriate.
If you are kitting out a full brigade and want to discuss sizing across multiple staff or pair these with compatible Chef Works jackets and headwear, we are happy to help you put together a consistent uniform order.
From £27.59(£33.11 inc VAT)
These are a straightforward, practical workwear trouser from Chef Works, designed for everyday use in commercial kitchen environments. The baggy fit gives kitchen staff freedom of movement through a full shift, which is particularly useful in hot, fast-paced kitchens where comfort and practicality matter more than a tailored silhouette. The black finish keeps a tidy, professional appearance through service.
The 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend is a well-established choice for kitchen workwear. It holds up well to the repeated commercial laundering that most catering businesses run as standard, and tends to retain its shape and colour better than pure cotton alternatives over time. The elasticated waistband accommodates a range of builds and avoids the need for precise belt sizing, which is a practical advantage when managing a larger front-line team.
- Baggy cut allows unrestricted movement during busy service periods
- Polycotton fabric withstands frequent commercial laundering
- Elasticated waistband provides a comfortable, adaptable fit
- Black finish maintains a clean, professional appearance through heavy use
- Lightweight construction suitable for warm kitchen environments
These trousers suit kitchens looking for a reliable, cost-effective uniform solution without compromising on day-to-day wearability. They are well suited to back-of-house team members across hospitality, contract catering, and food production environments.
Size guide, as stated by the supplier (waist size, with a 31½" inseam on XS to 2XL): XS 26"-28" / 66-71cm; S 30"-32" / 76-81cm; M 34"-36" / 86-91cm; L 38"-40" / 97-102cm; 2XL 46"-48" / 117-122cm; 3XL 50"-52" / 127-132cm. Weight: XS, S and M 210g, L 240g; no reliable weight is stored for 2XL and 3XL.
Sizes: XS, S, M, L, 2XL and 3XL. If you are outfitting a larger team or need guidance on sizing across multiple staff members, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£21.60(£25.92 inc VAT)
The Chef Works Chalk Stripe Baggy Pant is a traditionally styled kitchen trouser designed for full-shift comfort in a busy commercial environment. Cut from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton polycotton blend, the fabric is practical rather than precious: it launders easily, dries quickly, and holds up well under the kind of daily wear that kitchen work demands. The chalk stripe pattern is a long-standing choice in professional kitchens, presenting a smart, uniform appearance without requiring much in the way of upkeep.
The baggy fit is well suited to chefs who are on their feet for extended periods. There is enough room through the leg to move freely during service without the fabric pulling or restricting, which matters more over a ten-hour shift than it might first seem. The long leg can be turned up to suit different heights, removing the need for tailoring. The waistband fastens without buttons, which is a practical detail: there is nothing to break, snag, or work loose mid-service.
- Polycotton blend balances breathability with easy-care laundering
- Button-free waistband eliminates a common point of failure
- Adjustable leg length suits a range of heights without alteration
- Classic chalk stripe maintains a professional kitchen appearance
- Generously cut fit supports comfort across long service periods
For those working in particularly wet or high-spillage environments, Chef Works also produce a Teflon-coated version of this trouser, which offers additional resistance to liquid penetration and may be worth considering depending on the nature of the role.
Available in sizes S and XL.

From £40.31(£48.37 inc VAT)
These unisex chefs trousers from Chef Works are a practical, no-fuss workwear option designed for the demands of a busy kitchen environment. Made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton polycotton blend, they offer a balance of durability and comfort that holds up well through long shifts and repeated commercial laundering.
The baggy cut gives freedom of movement during fast-paced service, which matters when kitchen teams are on their feet for eight to twelve hours at a stretch. The polycotton fabric resists creasing reasonably well and dries quickly after washing, which is useful for brigades with frequent uniform turnarounds.
- Deep slanted side pockets for easy access during service
- Roomy back pockets for additional secure storage
- Relaxed baggy fit to support freedom of movement
- Polycotton construction suited to regular commercial laundering
- Unisex cut suitable for mixed kitchen brigades
There are no complex installation considerations here, but it is worth checking the sizing carefully before ordering. The medium size corresponds to a 34–36 inch waist with a 31-inch inseam. If your team includes staff at the upper or lower end of a size range, or if inseam length is critical, it is worth reviewing the full size range before placing a bulk order.
These trousers suit most kitchen environments — from pub kitchens and café operations through to hotel and contract catering brigades — where a reliable, comfortable uniform trouser is needed at a sensible price point. They are a practical everyday choice rather than a premium chef uniform garment, which is reflected in the price.
If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure which sizes or quantities to order, we are happy to help you work through it.
£30.76(£36.91 inc VAT)
These slim fit chef trousers from Chef Works are a practical uniform choice for kitchen teams where comfort and ease of movement matter throughout a long service. Cut in a slim profile and made from a 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend, they sit at 230g — noticeably lighter than heavier workwear fabrics — which makes them a reasonable option for kitchens where staff are on their feet for extended periods.
The polycotton construction keeps the trousers easy to launder and quick to dry, which is a practical advantage in operations running a high rotation of uniform items. Reinforced stress points at areas of regular movement and strain add longevity to what is otherwise a lightweight garment, reducing the frequency of replacement under daily kitchen use.
- Slim fit cut that allows good freedom of movement during service
- Elasticated waistband for a comfortable, adjustable fit across different body shapes
- Lightweight fabric reduces discomfort in warm kitchen environments
- Easy-care polycotton blend suitable for frequent commercial laundering
- Reinforced stress points to extend wear life under regular use
These trousers are well suited to front-of-pass kitchen roles, smaller brigade kitchens, or operations looking for a neat, fitted uniform appearance. They are not a heavy-duty workwear trouser, so kitchens with very demanding physical environments — such as butchery or high-heat production — may find a heavier fabric more appropriate for their needs.
If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure about sizing across a team, we are happy to help work through the right options before you order.
From £10.45(£12.54 inc VAT)
The Southside Slim Fit Casual Trousers are a practical workwear option designed for catering and hospitality staff who need reliable everyday trousers that hold up through long shifts. Made from an 80% recycled polyester, 20% cotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and comfort without the stiffness of purely synthetic fabrics.
In a busy kitchen or front-of-house environment, workwear takes a great deal of punishment. These trousers are cut in a slim fit that keeps a neat, professional appearance throughout a shift without restricting movement during prep, service, or front-of-house duties. The fabric blend is machine washable, which matters when trousers are going through the wash daily or several times a week.
Practical points worth noting for teams kitting out staff:
- Machine washable, so straightforward to launder after every shift
- Recycled polyester-cotton blend balances durability with comfort
- Slim fit gives a clean, professional look in both kitchen and front-of-house settings
- Available in black, which is a practical colour choice for hospitality workwear
- Available in sizes S, M, L and XL
These trousers are a casual trouser rather than a formal chef pant or full PPE workwear garment, so they are best suited to front-of-house roles, catering assistants, or back-of-house staff where formal chef whites are not required. For kitchens with stricter uniform or safety standards, it is worth confirming that this style meets your specific requirements.
If you are outfitting a team and need guidance on sizing across multiple staff members or want to discuss workwear options across different roles, feel free to get in touch with us directly.
£29.45(£35.34 inc VAT)
The Brook Taverner Mars trousers are a flat-front, tailored-fit waiting trouser designed for front-of-house hospitality staff. Made from 100% recycled polyester — sourced from recycled plastic bottles — they offer a smart, professional appearance that holds up through a full service without looking tired by the end of a shift.
The long leg cut makes these a practical choice for taller members of staff who often struggle to find uniform trousers with a suitable leg length. The fabric is soft to wear through long shifts, and the tailored flat-front silhouette keeps the look clean and presentable throughout service.
From a practical standpoint, the trousers include a key loop and pockets, giving floor staff somewhere to keep essentials without disrupting the overall appearance of the uniform. Key practical points worth noting:
- Recycled polyester construction — contributes to sustainability commitments
- Flat-front tailored fit — professional appearance throughout service
- Long leg cut — suitable for taller staff requiring extra length
- Key loop and functional pockets — keeps essentials accessible during service
- Available across a wide waist size range — suits most team members
These trousers are a reasonable choice for restaurants, hotels, bars, and event catering operations looking for smart, consistent front-of-house workwear. They are not a heavy-duty kitchen trouser — they are intended for floor and waiting staff rather than kitchen brigades. Please note these trousers are non-returnable once ordered, so it is worth checking sizing carefully before placing an order.
If you are outfitting a full front-of-house team or are unsure about sizing across a range of staff, we are happy to help you work through the options before you commit to an order.
£29.45(£35.34 inc VAT)
The Brook Taverner Mars trousers are a flat-front, tailored-fit waiting trouser designed for front-of-house staff in restaurants, hotels, and catering environments. Made from 100% recycled polyester, they offer a smart, professional appearance while using material derived from recycled plastic bottles — a practical choice for operations looking to make more considered uniform decisions.
In a busy front-of-house setting, uniform durability and ease of maintenance matter as much as appearance. The polyester construction resists creasing reasonably well through a typical service shift and holds its shape without requiring intensive care. The fabric is soft enough for all-day wear, which is relevant when staff are on their feet for extended periods.
- Flat-front tailored fit for a professional front-of-house appearance
- Key loop and pockets for practical storage of essentials during service
- Recycled polyester construction — a more sustainable uniform option
- Available in a wide range of waist sizes to suit most team members
- Short leg fit available for a better off-the-shelf finish for shorter staff
These trousers are available in a short leg fitting, which suits operators who find standard-length trousers require alteration for a proportion of their team. Waist sizes run from 28 to 48 inches, giving reasonable coverage across most team compositions. Note that these trousers are excluded from the standard 30-day returns policy, so it is worth confirming sizing carefully before ordering for a full team.
These are well suited to front-of-house waiting and hospitality roles where a smart, consistent uniform standard is required. If you are kitting out a larger team or need guidance on sizing across a group order, we are happy to help — just get in touch before you order.
£30.41(£36.49 inc VAT)
The Brook Taverner Venus is a long-leg waiting trouser designed for front of house staff who need a smart, practical uniform garment that holds up through a full service. Made from 100% polyester produced using recycled plastic bottles, the fabric is easy to launder, resists creasing, and maintains a presentable appearance across repeated washes — a practical consideration for any operation running a managed uniform programme.
The slim waistband and mid-rise fit are well suited to extended wearing periods, which matters in a busy restaurant or hotel environment where staff are on their feet for long shifts. The inclusion of a key loop and pockets means essentials stay accessible without staff needing to step away from the floor.
- Easy-care recycled polyester fabric — durable and low-maintenance
- Mid-rise, slim waistband for comfort during long service periods
- Key loop keeps essential items to hand on the floor
- Available in a wide size range to suit most team members
- Smart black finish suits formal front of house dress codes
These trousers are best suited to front of house roles — waiting staff, hosts, and bar staff — in restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues where a clean, consistent uniform appearance is required. They are not designed for kitchen or back of house use where food soil resistance or heat protection would be a factor.
Please note these trousers are excluded from the standard 30-day return policy, so it is worth confirming sizing carefully before ordering. If you are outfitting a larger team or are uncertain about fit across different body types, we are happy to talk through sizing before you place a bulk order.
£30.41(£36.49 inc VAT)
The Brook Taverner Venus trousers are a petite-fit waiting trouser designed for front-of-house use in restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues. Cut in black with a mid-rise, slim waistband, they are tailored for smaller frames and intended to present well across a full service shift without requiring ironing or specialist laundering.
The fabric is 100% polyester, produced using recycled plastic bottles. This gives the trousers a degree of environmental credibility that some operators find relevant when considering uniform procurement, though the primary practical benefit is durability and easy care — the material holds its shape and colour through repeated commercial washing cycles.
From an operational standpoint, the trousers include a key loop and pockets, which are genuinely useful for front-of-house staff who need to carry small items during service without resorting to apron pockets. The slim waistband keeps the silhouette neat under aprons or while working in dining areas.
- Easy-care polyester holds its shape through repeated commercial washing
- Recycled fabric construction supports responsible uniform sourcing
- Key loop and pockets keep essentials accessible during service
- Petite cut suited to smaller frames for a consistent uniform appearance
- Black colourway works well in most front-of-house uniform schemes
These trousers are available in a petite fit across a limited size range, so it is worth confirming sizing before ordering — particularly if purchasing in quantity for a team. Please note these trousers are excluded from the standard 30-day return policy, so checking fit requirements in advance is advisable.
If you are outfitting a front-of-house team and want guidance on sizing or coordinating with other Brook Taverner uniform pieces, the team is happy to help before you place an order.
£30.90(£37.08 inc VAT)
These Portwest women's stretch cargo trousers are a practical workwear option for kitchen and catering staff who need reliable, comfortable clothing throughout a long shift. Made from a cotton-elastane blend, the fabric moves with the wearer rather than restricting movement, which matters in environments where staff are on their feet and active for hours at a time.
The black colourway is a sensible choice for kitchen environments — it presents a tidy, uniform appearance and is more forgiving of the minor marks and splashes that are unavoidable during service. The fabric is suited to regular commercial laundering and dries reasonably quickly, which is useful where workwear is washed and turned around between shifts.
From a practical standpoint, the trousers offer a reasonable range of storage options:
- Front, back, and side pockets with hook-and-loop fastenings to keep items secure during movement
- Stretch fabric that allows a full range of motion without pulling or binding
- Robust construction suitable for the demands of regular commercial laundering
- Black finish that maintains a professional appearance throughout service
These trousers are sized for women's UK size 18 and are a single-size product, so it is worth checking the fit guidance before ordering if you are purchasing workwear for multiple members of staff. Portwest produce this style across a range of sizes, so alternatives are available if a different size is needed.
If you are kitting out a team and want to discuss sizing options or coordinate with other Portwest workwear, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help ensure you order correctly first time.
£23.15(£27.78 inc VAT)
Portwest's black holster trousers are a practical, hardwearing workwear option designed for people on their feet throughout long shifts. Built from a 300g polyester/cotton blend, they sit in a category commonly referred to as holster or cargo trousers — characterised by their generous pocket layout, reinforced construction, and adaptable fit.
In a busy kitchen or front-of-house environment, the practicality of what you wear matters more than it often gets credit for. These trousers are built to hold up under daily use without losing shape or comfort. The triple-stitched seams resist the kind of wear that lighter workwear starts to show within a few months, and the adjustable leg length means they can be fitted properly without the need for tailoring.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the main advantages are straightforward:
- Twelve pockets across the trousers, including holster-style side pockets suited to carrying tools, pens, or small equipment
- Pre-shaped knee pad pockets with top loading, which stay accessible without interrupting movement
- Adjustable leg length to suit different builds without alterations
- 65/35 polycotton fabric that balances durability with everyday comfort during long shifts
- Triple-stitched seams at stress points to extend the working life of the garment
These are unisex trousers available across a range of sizes. If you are outfitting a team and need guidance on sizing or volume orders, our team is happy to help — it's worth a conversation before placing a larger order.
