The Bolsius Starlight is a wax-filled jar candle presented in a plain red glass container. It is a straightforward, unfussy table light designed to add a consistent, ambient glow to restaurant, hotel, or event covers without requiring specialist handling or maintenance during service.
In practical hospitality use, the 50-hour burn time means a single candle can run across many service sessions before needing replacement, which helps reduce the frequency of restocking and keeps per-cover costs manageable. The glass jar protects the flame from draughts reasonably well and provides a stable, self-contained unit that front-of-house staff can set and reset quickly between covers.
- Red glass jar provides a warm, consistent ambient light on the table
- 50-hour burn life reduces restocking frequency across service periods
- Contained jar format is stable and straightforward to handle during cover turnarounds
- Pack of 8 suits initial setup or topping up existing stock
- No accessories or holders required — ready to place as supplied
As a jar candle, it requires no separate holder and carries no gas or electrical installation requirements. The main practical consideration is compliance with your venue's fire risk assessment — open-flame candles are subject to venue policy and, in some settings, local fire authority guidance. It is worth confirming suitability with your insurers or duty manager before introducing any naked flame to a new environment.
This candle suits restaurants, bars, hotel dining rooms, and event caterers looking for a reliable, consistent table light in a simple format. For venues running very high cover numbers or longer unattended burn periods, it is worth considering whether a liquid wax or LED alternative might be more practical operationally.
If you are unsure which candle format suits your service style or cover volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£30.98(£37.18 inc VAT)
These Bolsius amber low bar lights are wax-filled glass bowls designed for use as table candles in restaurants, hotels, bars, and other hospitality settings. The amber colouring gives a warm, consistent glow suited to evening dining environments, and the glass bowl construction makes them more stable on a table surface than a freestanding candle.
Each light is self-contained — no separate holder is required, though they can be placed within a decorative vessel if preferred. The long burn time means a single unit will typically cover multiple service sittings before needing replacement, which helps reduce the frequency of mid-service changes and keeps front-of-house running smoothly during busy periods.
- Reliable amber glow that suits relaxed dining atmospheres
- Glass and wax construction — stable and self-contained
- Long burn time reduces how often tables need to be re-dressed
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for stocking and restocking
From a practical standpoint, these are straightforward to store and deploy. As glass and wax items they should be handled with care during storage and transport, and kept away from drafts where possible to maintain an even burn. They are single-use consumables, so throughput and table count will determine how frequently stock needs replenishing.
These lights are well suited to casual dining restaurants, hotel restaurants, wine bars, and event catering where a simple, warm table ambience is needed without the complexity of a liquid wax system or a lamp that requires refilling. For venues running higher table counts or longer service hours, it is worth reviewing pack quantities with the team to ensure consistent stock levels.
If you are unsure how many packs would suit your service volume, we are happy to help you work that out.
£30.98(£37.18 inc VAT)
These Bolsius red lowboy candle bar lights are wax-filled glass bowls designed for table service in restaurants, bars, cafés, and similar hospitality settings. Each unit burns with a steady, low flame that sits within the bowl, giving a consistent ambient glow without the risk of tall, exposed flames near guests or table settings.
For front-of-house teams, the practical advantages are straightforward. The glass construction keeps the wax contained and gives a clean, presentable appearance throughout the service period. The red colouring suits a range of table settings and works particularly well in dimly lit dining rooms or bar environments where atmosphere is part of the offering.
- Glass and wax construction — presentable and contained throughout service
- Consistent low flame suited to table service environments
- Pack of 12 provides a useful quantity for stocking and rotation
- Compact lowboy format sits safely within table settings
- Suitable for restaurants, bars, cafés, and event catering
Being supplied in packs of 12, these fit naturally into a regular rotation stock system, making it straightforward to maintain a consistent supply across a busy floor. They are a single-use consumable, so no cleaning or maintenance is required between uses.
If you are setting up table service across a larger venue or need to assess quantities for regular ordering, our team is happy to help you work out what makes sense for your covers and service frequency.
£18.78(£22.54 inc VAT)
Bolsius four-hour tealights are a practical, reliable choice for table service in restaurants, hotels, bars, and event catering. Each tealight is produced using a European plant-based wax and a cotton wick, with no palm oil or animal fats in the formulation. The cups are recyclable, which suits operators who are mindful of waste management and procurement standards.
In a busy front-of-house environment, consistency matters. These tealights are designed to burn evenly for approximately four hours, making them well suited to evening service periods where a single change of candle per cover is the norm. The uniform burn time helps front-of-house teams manage changeovers predictably rather than dealing with variable burn rates across different batches.
Buying in a pack of 200 keeps replenishment straightforward for sites going through volume — a mid-sized restaurant running covers five nights a week will work through stock at a reasonable pace, and the pack size reflects that.
- Plant-based wax with no palm oil or animal fats
- Cotton wick for a clean, consistent burn
- Recyclable cups to support waste reduction
- Four-hour burn time suited to standard evening service
- Pack of 200 for straightforward bulk replenishment
If you are setting up table service across multiple sites or need to match an existing candle specification, it is worth having a conversation with the team about quantities and options.
£22.04(£26.45 inc VAT)
These Bolsius ivory pillar candles are a straightforward, reliable choice for restaurants, hotels, and event venues looking to maintain consistent table ambience across multiple services. Each candle measures 120mm tall and is designed to burn cleanly and steadily, with a burn time of approximately 39 hours per candle — considerably longer than standard tea lights, which helps reduce how often staff need to replace them during or between services.
The wax formulation produces minimal smoke, which matters in a dining environment where fumes or soot can affect the guest experience. The wick relights easily, so a candle that has been extinguished between sittings can be brought back quickly without fuss. In practical terms, this means less interruption during table turns and less time spent managing candle stocks mid-service.
Buying in a pack of 12 makes sense for most front-of-house teams — it reduces the frequency of reordering and ensures you have consistent stock across all tables. Ivory is a neutral, versatile finish that suits a broad range of table settings, from informal bistros to more formal dining rooms.
- Long burn time reduces how often candles need replacing during service
- Low-smoke wax keeps the dining environment comfortable for guests
- Easy-relight wick minimises disruption between sittings
- Pack of 12 supports consistent stock levels across a venue
- Neutral ivory finish works across a range of table settings
If you're considering candle options across different heights or burn times for your venue, we're happy to help you work out what suits your service pattern best.
From £24.03(£28.84 inc VAT)
Bolsius bistro candles are a practical choice for table service in restaurants, cafés, bistros and similar hospitality settings, and come in white and ivory. The 7" (177mm) format sits comfortably in standard bistro candle holders and gives a consistent, modest flame height that works across different table settings without dominating the place setting.
These candles are formulated to burn with low smoke output and minimal drip, which matters during a busy service when the last thing front-of-house staff need is wax pooling on tablecloths or smoky residue building up in a dining room. Bolsius is a well-established name in professional hospitality candles, and consistency between candles in a pack is useful when you need uniform appearance across every table on the floor.
- Two colours: white and ivory
- 7" (177mm) bistro candle, wax construction
- Low smoke output suits indoor dining areas with standard ventilation
- Minimal drip reduces wax residue on holders and linen
- Pack of 45 provides practical stock depth for regular service use
There are no special installation requirements: these are straightforward consumables. Burn times vary depending on draught exposure, holder type, and how often candles are extinguished and relit during a shift. They perform best in sheltered indoor settings, as wind exposure can noticeably shorten burn life and increase drip.
These candles are well suited to casual dining, café and bistro environments. High-volume venues or those running multiple sittings nightly may find it worth keeping a pack or two in reserve. If your operation needs a taller flame presentation, consider a longer-format option from the wider Bolsius range.
If you are stocking up for a new venue or want to discuss quantities for ongoing supply, the team is happy to help.
£30.39(£36.47 inc VAT)
The Bolsius Clear Low Boy is a wax-filled glass candle holder designed for table service in restaurants, bars, hotels, and similar hospitality settings. The clear glass bowl allows the warm glow of the flame to show through, creating a consistent, understated ambience across a dining room or bar area without drawing attention away from the table setting itself.
Each candle is designed for an extended burn, making them practical for operations that need reliable, low-maintenance table lighting through long service periods without frequent replacement. The glass construction is robust enough for regular handling and clearing by front-of-house staff, and the straightforward design keeps cleaning and turnaround between covers straightforward.
- Long burn life reduces how often candles need replacing mid-service
- Clear glass suits a wide range of table settings and décor styles
- Consistent flame presentation across all covers on the floor
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for stocking a full section
- Glass and wax construction — no loose components to manage
These candles are well suited to venues running regular evening service where a reliable, consistent table light is needed without the complexity or cost of liquid wax systems. For higher-volume venues running multiple sittings or extended hours, it is worth considering whether a liquid wax system would offer better economy at scale.
If you are unsure which candle format best suits your service style or venue, we are happy to talk it through.
From £48.56(£58.27 inc VAT)
These Bolsius tapered candles are a standard choice for table service in restaurants, hotels, bistros and event venues, and come in white, red and ivory. At 10 inches (254mm) in length, they sit well in most candlestick holders, candelabras and hurricane lanterns. Bolsius is a well-established European candle manufacturer, and their tapered range is widely used in the hospitality trade, where consistent burn and minimal drip are practical considerations during service.
For front-of-house operations, consistency matters. A pack of 100 gives most venues enough stock for a full service rotation without constant reordering, and the uniform finish works across a broad range of table settings, from informal bistro dining through to more formal covers. They are not dripless candles, so for tablecloths or surfaces where wax drip is a concern, use a candle holder with a wax-catching bobeche.
- Three colours: white, red and ivory
- 10-inch (254mm) tapered wax candle
- Pack of 100 supports bulk stock management for busy venues
- Fits standard candlestick holders and candelabras
- Uniform finish across the pack for a consistent table presentation
Tapered candles are not freestanding and need an appropriate holder. They are best suited to sheltered indoor settings, as wind and draughts affect the burn. For venues that prefer a no-holder solution, pillar or bistro-style candles may be a more practical alternative.
These candles suit most dining environments where open-flame table candles are permitted. Always confirm compliance with your venue's fire risk assessment and local authority guidance before introducing open flames to a dining area. If you are unsure which candle format or colour best suits your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
£24.63(£29.56 inc VAT)
These Bolsius ivory short pillar candles are a practical choice for restaurants, hotels, and event venues looking to add consistent, reliable candlelight to their table settings. Each candle is a compact pillar format, well suited to candle holders, lanterns, and centrepiece arrangements where a shorter profile is preferred over a tall taper or bistro stick.
Bolsius is a well-regarded European candle manufacturer, and their pillar range is commonly used in hospitality settings where consistency across covers matters. The ivory colouring is neutral enough to complement most table linen and décor schemes without drawing attention to itself — which is generally what you want from a table candle in a busy dining room.
For front-of-house teams, a few practical points are worth noting:
- Low smoke output helps keep the dining environment comfortable and reduces residue on glassware and linen
- A long approximate burn time supports multi-session use, reducing how frequently candles need replacing mid-service
- The pillar format sits stably in standard candle holders without requiring adhesive or pins
- Ivory finish works well across a range of interior styles from traditional to contemporary
- Supplied in a pack of 12, suitable for stocking across a reasonable number of covers
It is worth checking that your candle holders are sized to accept a 60mm diameter pillar before ordering, as some holders designed for tapers or thinner pillars will not be a correct fit. For venues with a high cover count or frequent private dining, ordering in larger quantities tends to reduce per-unit cost and ensures consistency of colour across tables.
If you are unsure which candle format or finish best suits your setting, or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help.
£13.20(£15.84 inc VAT)
Bolsius Professional tealights are a straightforward, reliable choice for hospitality venues that rely on candle lighting as part of their table setting. Each tealight is designed to burn consistently for eight hours, making them practical for full evening service without the need to replace candles mid-shift.
In a busy restaurant, bar, or hotel dining environment, consistency matters. A tealight that gutters early or burns unevenly disrupts the atmosphere and creates unnecessary work for front-of-house staff. These tealights are made to a commercial standard, with a steady, clean flame throughout the burn cycle.
- Eight-hour burn time covers a full evening service without replacement
- Clean, stable flame with minimal flickering or dripping
- Supplied in a pack of 90 — practical for venues ordering in bulk
- Suitable for standard tealight holders used across hospitality settings
The pack of 90 suits venues that go through candles in volume — restaurants with multiple covers, event spaces, or hotels with bar and dining areas. For lower-turnover settings, smaller pack sizes may be more practical from a storage perspective.
If you are working out the right quantities for your service or want to discuss other candle formats we carry, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£24.13(£28.96 inc VAT)
These Bolsius Star Light candle jars are a straightforward table lighting solution for restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues. Each jar contains a white wax candle with a clean-burning formulation, held within a clear glass vessel that contains melted wax and protects the table surface beneath. The pack contains eight jars, making them practical to buy and store in quantity.
With a burn time of up to 50 hours per candle, a single jar will typically last through several evenings of service before requiring replacement. The low-smoke wax formulation keeps the dining environment comfortable, and the wicks are designed to relight reliably — a practical consideration when candles are extinguished between covers or during service interruptions.
For front-of-house teams, the main operational advantages are:
- Long burn time reduces how often candles need checking or replacing mid-service
- Glass jar construction keeps wax contained, protecting linen and table surfaces
- Easy relight means staff can reset tables quickly without fuss
- Low-smoke burn suits enclosed or less well-ventilated dining rooms
- Clear glass suits most table settings without competing with other décor
These jars are well suited to venues that want reliable, low-maintenance candle lighting without the ongoing cost or effort of frequent replacements. They work equally well on fixed dining tables or where covers turn regularly. If you run a larger venue and need to buy in greater volume, or want guidance on pairing with candle holders or other table accessories, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
