Chef Works

The Chef Works Tulum is a unisex chef jacket designed for kitchen professionals who need a garment that keeps pace with long, demanding shifts. It forms part of Chef Works' Flex Series and is constructed using recycled materials, with knitted mesh panels across the sleeves, shoulders, and upper yoke to aid ventilation and allow a full range of movement.

In a busy kitchen environment, comfort and practicality matter more than most operators give credit for when choosing brigade clothing. A jacket that restricts movement or traps heat becomes a minor but persistent drain on focus and performance. The Tulum's stretch construction and breathable mesh sections address both of those issues directly, making it a practical choice for chefs working through high-pressure service periods.

• Stretch fabric allows unrestricted movement during prep and service
• Recycled mesh panels improve ventilation in hot kitchen environments
• Minimalist cut suits both front-of-house open kitchen and back-of-house use
• Unisex sizing makes it a straightforward choice for mixed brigades
• Sustainable construction for kitchens with environmental procurement policies

It is worth noting that this is a lighter, fashion-influenced kitchen jacket rather than a traditional heavy cotton whites. Operators looking for maximum protection from splashes or open-flame hazards should consider a more conventional chef's jacket alongside this for certain roles.

The Tulum suits modern restaurant kitchens, casual dining operations, and any brigade where comfort during long shifts is a priority alongside a clean, contemporary appearance.

If you are unsure whether this jacket is the right fit for your team's working environment or uniform requirements, we are happy to talk it through.

The Chef Works Women's Oxford Shirt is a classic long-sleeved uniform shirt designed for front of house roles in commercial hospitality environments. Built from a lightweight polycotton poplin fabric, it offers a clean, professional appearance that holds up well through the demands of a full service shift. The cut is tailored for women, with a six-button placket, button cuffs, and a double back yoke with box pleat that allows a reasonable degree of movement without compromising the formal silhouette.

In a front of house setting, presentation matters as much as practicality. This shirt delivers on both. The polycotton blend resists heavy creasing better than pure cotton alternatives, which is useful in environments where staff may not have time for careful ironing between shifts. It launders reliably and retains its shape over repeated commercial wash cycles — an important consideration when managing a team wardrobe.

• Lightweight polycotton poplin fabric — easy to launder and quick to dry
• Maintains a smart, pressed appearance through a full shift
• Six-button placket with button cuffs for a formal front of house look
• Double back yoke with box pleat allows ease of movement during service
• Available in a full size range from XS through to 2XL

This shirt is well suited to restaurants, hotels, bars, and event catering operations where a consistent, professional uniform standard is required. It is a practical choice for businesses kitting out multiple front of house team members, where durability and ease of care matter as much as appearance.

If you're unsure about sizing for your team or need guidance on building a coordinated uniform range, the team are happy to help.

The Chef Works Cannes is a short sleeve, unisex chefs jacket designed for kitchen environments where heat and sustained physical effort are part of the working day. Built from a polycotton fabric with Chef Works' Cool Vent technology, it is designed to draw moisture away from the skin, helping kitchen staff stay comfortable during long service periods without the restriction of a traditional long-sleeved jacket.

In practical terms, the short sleeve cut and lightweight construction make this jacket well suited to hot kitchens — grill sections, pastry departments, and catering operations where ambient temperatures run consistently high. The moisture-wicking properties help maintain comfort from the start of a shift to the end, which matters in environments where staff are on their feet and working at pace throughout service.

Key practical features include:

• Short sleeve design reduces heat retention during busy service
• Cool Vent moisture-wicking technology keeps the wearer dry
• Polycotton construction balances durability with everyday wash performance
• Unisex fit suitable for mixed kitchen brigades
• Available in a range of standard sizes to suit most team members

As a polycotton garment, it will launder well in a commercial or domestic context, though operators running high-volume brigades may want to consider holding spares given the jacket's lighter weight construction. It is not a heavyweight formal whites jacket, so it may not suit front-of-house or fine dining environments where a more structured appearance is expected.

This jacket is a practical choice for street food operations, casual dining kitchens, café brigades, and any team working in warm conditions where comfort during service takes priority. If you are equipping a larger team and want to discuss sizing or volume options, the team is happy to help.

The Chef Works Women's Cool Vent Chef Shirt is a short-sleeved kitchen shirt cut specifically for a female fit. Made from a polycotton blend, it is designed to be practical and hardwearing through daily service while remaining comfortable across long shifts in warm kitchen environments.

The Cool Vent side panels are the notable functional feature here. Kitchens generate sustained heat, and the ventilated panels help allow air circulation, reducing the build-up of heat around the body during busy service periods. The polycotton construction balances durability with breathability and is suited to regular commercial laundering.

• Shaped female fit for comfort and ease of movement at the pass
• Cool Vent side panels to aid airflow during hot service periods
• Polycotton fabric — practical, durable, and suited to frequent washing
• Short-sleeved cut for warmer kitchen environments
• Triple top stitching and matching buttons for a neat, professional appearance

This shirt is well suited to front-of-house chef roles, open kitchen environments, and any setting where staff presentation matters alongside comfort. It is a practical everyday workwear option for cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues of most sizes.

Sizing is worth checking carefully — this shirt runs in a select range of sizes, so if you are unsure which size best fits your team's requirements, the team is happy to help before you order.

The Chef Works women's dark navy gingham dress shirt is a front of house uniform piece designed for hospitality environments where a smart, consistent appearance matters. It sits between casual and formal — the gingham pattern gives it character without being overly styled, making it a practical choice for restaurants, bistros, bars, and café settings where staff need to look presentable throughout a full shift.

The shirt is made from a yarn-dyed polycotton fabric, which holds its colour and shape well through regular commercial laundering — an important consideration when you're washing uniform pieces frequently. Polycotton also wears comfortably over a long service, offering a degree of breathability without the creasing associated with pure cotton.

From a practical standpoint, the construction details are well considered for a working environment:

• Button-down collar stays tidy through a busy service without constant adjustment
• Long sleeves with button cuffs give a neat, finished appearance
• Double back yoke with box pleat allows ease of movement during service
• Yarn-dyed fabric retains colour through repeated commercial washing
• Available in a full size range from XS through to 2XL

It is worth checking your team's sizing carefully before ordering in bulk — the size guide on this listing gives chest measurements in both inches and centimetres, which helps when fitting staff across different builds. If you're putting together a full front of house uniform across a larger team, it's worth getting in touch to discuss quantities and size distribution before placing your order.

The Chef Works Arcadia is a unisex chef jacket designed with both practicality and sustainability in mind. It is part of Chef Works' Flex Series range and is constructed from a recycled stretch Cool Vent mesh fabric — a material choice that addresses two common concerns in professional kitchen environments: comfort during long shifts and a reduced environmental footprint.

In a working kitchen, a jacket needs to move with you rather than restrict you. The Arcadia's stretch fabric supports a fuller range of motion, which is particularly noticeable during high-tempo service when chefs are moving between stations, reaching across pass counters, or working in tighter galley-style layouts. The mesh ventilation also helps manage heat build-up during sustained service periods.

From an operational standpoint, the Arcadia suits kitchens where staff wellbeing and uniform presentation matter in equal measure. It sits somewhere between a traditional structured chef jacket and a more modern performance-oriented garment, making it a reasonable choice for kitchens that want a professional appearance without sacrificing wearability.

• Recycled stretch fabric reduces environmental impact without compromising function
• Cool Vent mesh panels support airflow during busy service
• Unisex cut suitable for mixed kitchen brigades
• Stretch construction allows unrestricted movement at pace
• Available in a range of standard sizes to suit most team members

It is worth considering fit carefully before ordering for a full brigade — sizing can vary between brands, and getting a sample size in first is often sensible if you are outfitting a large team. If you are unsure whether the Arcadia is the right fit for your kitchen's specific requirements, we are happy to help you work through the options.

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.

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.

The Chef Works Tulum is a unisex chef jacket designed around the practical demands of kitchen work, built using recycled materials as part of Chef Works' sustainable Flex Series. The jacket uses knitted mesh panels across the sleeves, shoulders, and upper yoke — areas where heat and restricted movement are common complaints during long service periods.

In a busy kitchen environment, comfort and mobility have a direct effect on how well a brigade performs across a full shift. The Tulum addresses this with a stretch construction that allows a full range of motion — useful whether you're working at a pass, moving between sections, or dealing with the physical demands of a high-volume service. The breathable mesh areas help with temperature regulation without compromising the clean, professional appearance expected front-of-house.

From an operational standpoint, the jacket offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Stretch fabric reduces restriction during repetitive tasks and fast-paced service
• Recycled knitted mesh panels improve airflow in hot kitchen conditions
• Minimalist cut presents a clean, professional look suitable for open kitchen environments
• Unisex sizing makes uniform procurement straightforward across mixed brigade teams
• Sustainable construction for operators with environmental sourcing commitments

It's worth bearing in mind that this is a lighter-weight, performance-oriented jacket rather than a traditional heavy cotton brigade coat. For kitchens where more substantial protection or a strictly classic appearance is required, a conventional woven jacket may be more appropriate. The Tulum is particularly well suited to modern, fast-paced environments where comfort and presentation carry equal weight.

If you're equipping a full brigade or need guidance on sizing across a team, we're happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef Works Calgary is a long sleeve unisex chefs jacket designed for everyday use in professional kitchen environments. It is made from a lightweight polycotton fabric that balances comfort with practical durability, and is cut to suit both front- and back-of-house wear throughout a full service shift.

The Cool Vent panels are the jacket's most operationally useful feature, allowing air to circulate during high-temperature service periods. This makes it a practical choice for busy kitchens where heat builds quickly — particularly in smaller or less well-ventilated brigade environments. The polycotton construction is hard-wearing enough to withstand repeated laundering at 40°C, and the white colourway can be bleached to deal with heavy staining, which is a practical consideration for kitchens with strict presentation standards.

A few details worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Cloth-covered buttons reduce the risk of snagging and are easier to replace than stud fastenings
• Sewn-in thermometer pocket keeps essential tools accessible without a separate clip
• Lightweight polycotton fabric sits comfortably against the skin during long shifts
• White colourway is bleach-safe for stain removal between deep launders
• Accredited by the Craft Guild of Chefs

This jacket is available in a limited size range, so it is worth confirming fit requirements before ordering — particularly if you are equipping a full brigade with mixed sizes. If you are unsure about sizing or need to discuss volume orders, the team is happy to help.

The Chef Works Cool Vent Baseball Cap is a one size headwear option for kitchen and front of house staff working in warm environments. Made from 100% polyester with moisture-wicking, ventilated fabric to help manage heat and sweat during service.

• Moisture-wicking polyester fabric helps manage sweat during service
• Ventilated construction encourages airflow
• Adjustable buckle fastening for a secure fit
• Internal sweatband for comfort during extended wear
• One size design simplifies ordering for teams and brigades

Black cap with a choice of grey, red or blue trim. Not a food-safe hair net alternative where full hair coverage is a hygiene requirement: operators should confirm their own compliance obligations. For larger team orders or other headwear options, get in touch.

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.

The Chef Works Oxford shirt is a plain, button-down collar shirt made from a polycotton blend. It is a straightforward, workwear-focused garment designed for front-of-house use in hospitality and catering environments where a neat, presentable appearance is required without the formality of a full dress shirt.

In practical terms, the polycotton construction keeps the shirt reasonably light and comfortable during a full shift, while holding its shape better than a pure cotton equivalent under repeated laundering, a relevant consideration in establishments that run high-volume washing cycles on staff uniforms.

The Oxford weave and button-down collar give it a degree of versatility. It sits naturally in casual dining, café, and pub environments, but is smart enough for bistro and hotel restaurant use where a more relaxed front-of-house look is appropriate.

• Polycotton blend holds shape well through regular commercial laundering
• Button-down collar stays neat throughout service without ironing every wear
• Lightweight enough for extended shifts without discomfort
• Suitable across a range of hospitality formats, from casual to smart-casual
• Available in sizes XS, S, L, XL and 2XL

Size guide

This shirt is well suited to operators outfitting front-of-house teams where a clean, consistent look is needed without a high per-unit cost. It is not intended as a formal dress shirt and would not be the right choice where a stiff-collar or tailored appearance is required.

If you are kitting out a team and have questions about sizing, quantities, or which style fits your front-of-house uniform best, we are happy to help you choose before you order.

The Chef Works Unisex Contrast Shirt is a practical workwear shirt designed for kitchen and front-of-house environments where staff are on their feet for long periods. Made from a polycotton blend, it combines the durability of polyester with the breathability of cotton, making it a sensible choice for day-to-day kitchen use.

The most notable feature is the Cool Vent panelling positioned under the arms and along the sides of the body. In a working kitchen, heat builds quickly, and these panels are designed to allow air circulation where the body generates most warmth, helping staff remain comfortable throughout a shift without compromising the smart appearance expected in a professional environment.

• Cool Vent panels under the arms and side body for temperature regulation during service
• Polycotton construction for durability and everyday wash performance
• Left chest pocket for practical on-shift storage
• Pearl buttons for a cleaner, more finished appearance
• Unisex cut suitable for mixed kitchen and front-of-house teams

The unisex fit makes it straightforward to manage as part of a team uniform across mixed kitchen brigades or floor staff, reducing the complexity of ordering separate styles. The polycotton fabric holds up well to regular laundering at commercial temperatures, which matters in any environment with strict hygiene standards.

This shirt is well suited to casual dining, café environments, front-of-house teams, and kitchen staff who require a smart-casual uniform rather than a full chef's jacket. It is not designed to replace chef's whites or provide the protection of a full brigade jacket in high-heat cooking environments.

Available in sizes XS, S, M, L and XL.

This is a double-breasted chefs jacket from Chef Works, made in a polycotton twill fabric and finished in blue. It features three-quarter length sleeves and includes a left breast pocket alongside a thermometer pocket. The jacket is cut to a unisex fit, making it a practical choice for mixed kitchen brigades where a single uniform style is preferred.

Polycotton twill is a sensible fabric choice for kitchen environments — it holds its shape through repeated commercial laundering better than pure cotton, while remaining reasonably comfortable during long shifts. The three-quarter sleeve length suits kitchens where staff move between hot and cooler sections, and it keeps the cuffs clear of food contact areas without the need to roll sleeves.

• Double-breasted front provides an additional layer of protection from heat and spillage
• Three-quarter sleeves reduce contamination risk at the cuff
• Thermometer pocket keeps temperature probes accessible and secure
• Blue colourway supports front-of-house visibility or brigade colour coding
• Polycotton construction handles regular commercial laundering reliably

This jacket is sized for a chest of 40–42 inches and weighs 290g, keeping it light enough for sustained wear. It is worth noting that this is a single size listing — if you are outfitting a team, the same jacket is available across multiple sizes, and it is worth checking stock levels before placing a volume order.

Well suited to casual dining kitchens, café operations, food production environments, and front-of-house staff where a smart but practical uniform is required. The blue colourway also works well as a visual identifier for different brigade roles.

If you are equipping a full team or have questions about sizing across your brigade, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef Works Recycled Cool Vent Beanie is a kitchen beanie made from a blend of cotton and recycled polyester, sourced from reclaimed plastic bottles. The Cool Vent construction lets air circulate around the head to help manage heat build-up during service.

• Ventilated construction to reduce heat build-up during service
• Recycled polyester alongside cotton
• Low-profile beanie style for kitchen and front of house
• Lightweight and easy to launder

Fits size S-M. If you are sourcing for a larger team, confirm sizing before ordering in volume. For help with a uniform order, get in touch.

The Chef Works long sleeve dress shirt is a straightforward, well-made front-of-house garment designed for regular commercial use. Cut to a unisex fit and available in black, it is commonly used in restaurants, hotels, bars, and event catering where a clean, consistent uniform standard is expected across a mixed team.

Made from a polycotton blend, the fabric balances the easy-care practicality that busy hospitality operations require with enough structure to hold a presentable appearance through a full service shift. The polycotton construction means the shirt launders well and resists the creasing that can make pure cotton impractical in high-turnover environments where staff may change between shifts.

From an operational standpoint, this shirt works well as part of a coordinated front-of-house uniform. Practical considerations worth noting:

• Polycotton fabric — easy to launder and quick to dry
• Unisex cut — simplifies bulk ordering across a mixed team
• Long sleeve design — appropriate for formal dining and events
• Black colourway — practical for concealing everyday service marks
• Lightweight at 210g — comfortable for extended service periods

This shirt is well suited to restaurants, hotel food and beverage teams, event catering staff, and bar operations where a consistent, professional appearance is required. It is a practical choice for operators building or refreshing a uniform programme without significant per-head expenditure.

If you are unsure about sizing for a larger team or want to discuss uniform coordination across a full front-of-house range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

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.

The Chef Works Premium Woven Bib Apron in Stripe is a practical, everyday apron designed for kitchen brigades and front-of-house teams who need reliable coverage through a full service. Made from a polycotton blend, it offers a balance of durability and comfort that holds up well through repeated commercial laundering — an important consideration when aprons are being washed daily across a busy operation.

The traditional bib design covers the chest and extends to a generous length, providing good protection against splashes, spills, and general kitchen wear. The adjustable neck strap and tie fastening allow a secure, comfortable fit across different body shapes, which matters when aprons are shared across a team or issued as part of a uniform.

From a practical standpoint, this apron suits a wide range of roles:

• Kitchen preparation and cooking stations
• Casual dining and café front-of-house
• Deli counters and food service environments
• Events and hospitality catering

The striped woven fabric gives a smart, consistent appearance without being overly formal — a common choice for operations that want a tidy, coordinated look without investing in fully embroidered branded workwear. The polycotton construction resists heavy creasing and dries relatively quickly, which helps with turnaround when laundry volumes are high.

This apron is well suited to teams looking for a cost-effective, presentable everyday option. Operations with particularly demanding kitchen environments — heavy sauce work, butchery, or extended exposure to heat and moisture — may find a heavier or more specialist apron fabric better suited to their needs.

If you're outfitting a team and want to talk through quantities, sizing, or whether this style suits your specific environment, we're happy to help.
