Chef Works Other Equipment

The Chef Works red gingham shirt is a front-of-house uniform shirt designed for hospitality and catering environments. Made from a yarn-dyed poly/cotton poplin, it offers the structure and appearance of a traditional dress shirt while being practical enough to withstand regular commercial laundering. The gingham pattern is woven into the fabric rather than printed, which helps the colour hold through repeated washing cycles, a practical consideration for any operation that launders uniform in-house.

The shirt includes a button-down collar, two-button cuffs, a left chest pocket, and a pleated back yoke. These details give it a neat, professional appearance suitable for restaurant floor staff, bar teams, café counter staff, and similar customer-facing roles. The poly/cotton blend resists creasing reasonably well, which is useful during long service periods when appearance needs to remain consistent.

• Yarn-dyed fabric retains colour through regular commercial washing
• Button-down collar keeps a tidy appearance throughout service
• Pleated back yoke allows ease of movement during busy shifts
• Poly/cotton blend is practical for frequent laundering
• Available in navy, black, and red to suit different uniform schemes
• Available in sizes S, XL, 2XL and 3XL

Size guide

No chest measurement is stated for 3XL. Call the team if you need help choosing that size.

As a uniform item, fit consistency across a team matters. Chef Works sizing follows standard chest measurements, and it is worth checking staff sizes carefully before ordering in bulk, particularly if uniform pieces need to look coordinated across a front-of-house team.

If you are building out a uniform range or need guidance on quantities and sizing for a new opening or refresh, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef Works Omaha is a men's workwear shirt from the Urban collection, designed to function comfortably across both kitchen and front-of-house environments. Made from a polycotton fabric, it offers a practical balance of durability and ease of care — qualities that matter when workwear is laundered frequently in a busy operation.

Polycotton construction holds its shape and colour reasonably well through repeated washing cycles, which makes it a sensible choice for teams that need consistent, presentable uniforms over time without high maintenance demands. The shirt is cut for men's sizing across a standard S to 2XL range, and a women's fit version is available separately for mixed teams.

• Polycotton fabric for durability and easy care
• Suited to front-of-house and back-of-house use
• Consistent appearance through regular laundering
• Available in S, M, L, XL, and 2XL
• Part of the Chef Works Urban workwear range

If you're kitting out a team and are unsure whether this shirt fits your uniform requirements or need guidance on sizing across a mixed team, we're happy to help before you order.

The Chef Works Urban Womens Omaha Shirt is a practical workwear option designed for catering professionals working across both front-of-house and back-of-house environments. Cut in a womens fit, it offers a more tailored silhouette than unisex alternatives whilst retaining the durability expected of a working kitchen garment. A unisex version is also available for teams that prefer a consistent uniform across different body types.

Made from a polycotton blend, the fabric balances comfort during long shifts with the everyday wash resilience that busy kitchen and hospitality environments demand. Polycotton holds its shape well through repeated laundering, which matters in operations where uniform turnover is frequent.

The Omaha sits within the Chef Works Urban range, which is aimed at operations where presentation and practicality carry equal weight — hospitality venues, casual dining, café environments, and kitchen brigades that are visible to guests. It is well suited to front-of-house roles where staff appearance is part of the customer experience, as well as prep and service kitchen roles where a smart, practical shirt is preferred over a traditional chef jacket.

Sizing runs from XS through to 2XL, selectable from the product options above. If you are outfitting a larger team and want guidance on sizing consistency or whether the unisex fit might work better for your operation, the team is happy to help.

The Chef Works Urban Modern Chambray Shirt in grey is a long-sleeved front-of-house shirt designed for professional hospitality environments. Made from a polycotton blend, it offers the appearance of chambray fabric with the practicality of a mixed-fibre construction — easier to maintain and more resilient through repeated commercial laundering than a pure cotton equivalent.

The long sleeves feature a roll-and-tab detail, allowing staff to shift between a full long-sleeve look for evening service and a neater short-sleeve option during busier daytime periods — without needing to change. This kind of flexibility is useful in environments where front-of-house presentation needs to adapt across different service styles or temperatures throughout the day.

From a practical standpoint, the polycotton fabric holds its shape reasonably well with regular washing, which matters in operations where uniforms are laundered frequently. The grey colourway is a sensible choice for front-of-house use — neutral enough to pair with a range of uniform schemes and less likely to show minor marks than white alternatives.

This shirt is well suited to restaurants, cafés, bar staff, and casual dining venues looking for a consistent, presentable uniform option. It sits at the smarter end of casual front-of-house workwear rather than formal fine dining attire, so it's worth considering the overall uniform brief before ordering across a team.

If you're unsure whether this shirt fits your uniform requirements or want to discuss quantity ordering, the team is happy to help.

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 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 Detroit is a long sleeve shirt made from cotton denim fabric that has been enzyme washed to give it a worn, relaxed appearance. Antiqued metal buttons and a casual cut make it well suited to front of house teams where the look of the room matters as much as the practicality of the uniform.

In busy service environments, front of house clothing needs to hold up across a full shift without looking tired by the end of it. The denim construction is durable enough for daily use, and the enzyme wash process means the fabric softens with wear rather than stiffening. Roll-up sleeves offer practical flexibility when clearing tables or working in warmer rooms.

• Left chest pocket for pens or small items
• Left sleeve thermometer pocket for kitchen probe or pen
• Roll-up sleeves for flexibility during service
• Antiqued metal buttons for a consistent, considered finish
• Enzyme-washed cotton for comfort from the first wear

It is worth checking fit carefully against your team before ordering in volume. The shirt is available in larger sizes, so it suits a range of builds, but the cut is relaxed rather than tailored — something to bear in mind for venues with a more structured uniform policy.

This shirt works well in cafes, bars, casual restaurants, and bistros where an informal but considered front of house look is the aim. It is not intended for kitchen use. If you are kitting out a larger team or mixing styles across a uniform range, it is worth having a conversation with us first to make sure the sizing and finish works across your team.

This men's dress shirt from Chef Works is a straightforward front-of-house uniform piece, cut in a dark navy gingham pattern and made from a polycotton poplin fabric. The yarn-dyed construction helps the pattern hold its colour through repeated commercial laundering, which matters when shirts are going through the wash multiple times a week.

In a front-of-house setting, consistency of appearance across a team is practical as much as it is presentable. The polycotton blend resists creasing reasonably well through a service shift and keeps the wearer more comfortable than a pure cotton equivalent in warmer environments — useful in venues where staff move between floor, bar, and kitchen pass areas.

• Yarn-dyed fabric resists fading through regular commercial laundering
• Polycotton blend offers a balance of comfort and easy-care durability
• Button-down collar stays neat throughout a service without pinning
• Long sleeves with button cuffs give a consistent, tidy appearance
• Available in a range of sizes to suit different team members

There are no special installation or care requirements beyond standard commercial laundering. It is worth checking your venue's uniform policy on gingham patterns before ordering in volume, as some operations prefer plain colours for a more neutral look.

This shirt suits front-of-house roles in restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues where a smart but approachable uniform standard is expected. It is not designed for kitchen or back-of-house use where heat, oil, and food contact are factors.

If you are kitting out a team and have questions about sizing or coordinating uniform pieces, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef Works Men's Gingham Shirt in black is a polycotton front-of-house shirt designed for hospitality and catering environments where staff presentation matters. The button-down collar and pleated back yoke give it a structured, smart appearance that holds up well through a full service shift, while the polycotton construction keeps it practical from a laundry and durability standpoint.

Polycotton blends are a reliable choice for hospitality workwear. They resist creasing better than pure cotton, dry more quickly after washing, and retain their shape through repeated commercial laundering — all relevant considerations when you're managing a team and need uniforms to look consistent across a busy week.

Practical features include:

• Button-down collar for a neat, consistent appearance throughout service
• Two-button cuffs for a tailored fit without fuss
• Left chest pocket for a pen or order pad
• Pleated back yoke allowing ease of movement during active service
• Polycotton construction for durability and easy laundering

This shirt is available in a range of sizes from S through to 2XL, making it straightforward to outfit a mixed team. It is well suited to front-of-house roles in restaurants, hotels, cafés, and event catering, where a smart but understated uniform is appropriate. It is not a chef's jacket and is not intended for use in a cooking environment.

If you're outfitting a larger team or need guidance on sizing across a mixed group, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef Works women's black gingham shirt is a front of house garment designed for daily professional use in cafes, bars, bistros and restaurants. Built from a yarn-dyed polycotton blend, it offers a consistent, presentable appearance across a full service shift without the upkeep demands of a purely cotton garment.

The polycotton construction is a practical choice for busy hospitality environments where shirts go through frequent washing. Yarn-dyeing means the gingham pattern is woven into the fabric rather than printed on the surface, which helps it hold its colour and structure through repeated laundering — an important consideration when uniforms are cycled daily.

From a practical standpoint, the shirt works well as part of a coordinated front of house uniform:

• Button-down collar stays neat throughout a shift without constant adjustment
• Six-button placket gives a clean, smart finish suitable for customer-facing roles
• Double back yoke adds shape and improves fit through the shoulders
• Button cuffs allow easy rolling for bar or service work when needed
• Polycotton fabric resists creasing and recovers well from a service wash

This shirt is well suited to front of house teams where a consistent, professional appearance matters but practicality and wash durability are equally important. It works particularly well in casual dining, café, and bar settings where a smart-casual uniform tone is preferred over formal whites. Operators running larger front of house teams may want to consider heavier or more structured uniform options for higher-wear roles.

If you're putting together a full uniform package or want to discuss sizing across a team, we're happy to help — just get in touch before placing a larger order.

This red gingham shirt from Chef Works is a front of house uniform shirt designed for hospitality environments. Made from a yarn-dyed polycotton poplin, it offers a neat, consistent appearance across a team while holding up to regular commercial laundering — a practical consideration for any operator managing uniform stock over time.

The construction includes long sleeves with button cuffs, a double back yoke with box pleat, and a six-button placket. These details give the shirt a tidy, professional finish that reads well across café, bar, and restaurant settings without veering into overly formal territory. The polycotton blend balances comfort during long shifts with the shape retention you need from a uniform piece.

• Consistent, presentable look suitable for customer-facing roles
• Polycotton fabric handles repeated washing without heavy distortion
• Long-sleeve cut with button cuffs suits varied front of house dress codes
• Available in a broad size range from XS through to 2XL

It is worth checking the size guide carefully when ordering for a team, as fit consistency matters when uniforms are worn together on the floor. The shirt is intended for front of house use rather than kitchen environments where food safety PPE requirements apply.

The Chef Works Contrast Shirt is a unisex polycotton kitchen shirt designed for front-of-house and back-of-house environments where a smart, practical appearance matters. The black base fabric is complemented by grey Cool Vent panels positioned under the arms and along the sides of the body — a feature that helps manage heat build-up during busy service periods rather than relying purely on fabric weight alone.

In a working kitchen or service environment, comfort over a long shift is a genuine operational concern. The Cool Vent panels allow air movement in areas where heat tends to accumulate most, which makes a noticeable difference during sustained periods of physical work. The polycotton construction holds its shape and colour well through regular commercial laundering, which is a practical consideration for any site running a uniform policy.

• Cool Vent underarm and side panels to support airflow during busy service
• Left chest pocket for pens, order pads or small tools
• Pearl buttons provide a cleaner finish suitable for customer-facing roles
• Polycotton fabric resists heavy laundering and holds colour over time
• Unisex cut available across a full size range from XS to 2XL

This shirt is well suited to kitchen brigades, café and restaurant front-of-house teams, and any site looking to maintain a consistent uniform without compromising on practicality. It works equally well in a standalone restaurant as in a contract catering environment where uniformity across a larger team is important.

The Chef Works Flex Series Jogger 2.0 is a unisex kitchen trouser designed to sit at the crossover between workwear practicality and everyday comfort. Built from a four-way stretch fabric sourced with sustainability in mind, these trousers are intended for the kind of fast-paced kitchen environment where freedom of movement matters as much as durability over a long shift.

In a working kitchen, trousers take a great deal of punishment — constant movement, heat, repeated washing, and the need to look presentable throughout service. The Jogger 2.0 addresses this with a fabric construction that moves with the wearer rather than against them, and retains its shape through regular laundering, which matters in any operation running a structured uniform programme.

Practically, they suit a range of kitchen and front-of-house roles where a more relaxed silhouette is acceptable or encouraged by the operation's uniform policy. The stretch construction is particularly useful for roles involving crouching, reaching, or extended periods on your feet.

• Four-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement throughout service
• Sustainable fabric construction suitable for operations with environmental commitments
• Unisex fit designed to work across mixed kitchen brigades
• Holds shape through commercial laundering cycles
• Suitable for both back-of-house and casual front-of-house uniform programmes

It is worth considering whether the jogger silhouette aligns with your operation's uniform standards before ordering. For more formal dining environments or kitchens with stricter brigade dress codes, a traditional chef trouser may be more appropriate. For high-turnover teams or operations needing multiple sizes across a brigade, it is worth discussing uniform pack options with us directly.

Available in sizes S and 2XL. Select your size from the drop-down menu.

If you are outfitting a team and want to talk through sizing, quantities, or whether these suit your uniform requirements, we are happy to help before you commit to an order.

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 Women's Cool Vent Chef Shirt is a polycotton kitchen shirt cut to a fitted, feminine silhouette. Unlike standard unisex chef whites, it is proportioned specifically for women, which makes a practical difference to comfort and freedom of movement during a long service. The grey colourway offers a smart, contemporary alternative to traditional white.

The key functional feature is the Cool Vent panelling running down both sides of the shirt. In a busy kitchen environment where ambient temperatures rise quickly, this ventilation helps air circulate and reduces the build-up of heat against the body. Combined with the lightweight polycotton fabric, the shirt is better suited to high-tempo service periods than heavier cotton alternatives.

From a day-to-day operational perspective, the shirt offers:

• A fitted cut designed specifically for women, improving comfort over long shifts
• Cool Vent side panels that aid airflow in warm kitchen environments
• Lightweight polycotton construction that is practical to launder and quick to dry
• Matching buttons and triple top stitching for a tidy, professional finish
• A neutral grey colourway that sits well within most front- and back-of-house dress codes

This shirt is well suited to chefs and kitchen staff who work in environments where heat management matters — particularly open kitchens, smaller brigade operations, or any setting where staff comfort across a full shift is a priority. It is a workwear garment rather than a ceremonial one, designed to perform across repeated laundering cycles.

If you are outfitting a team and are unsure about sizing, fit, or which Chef Works styles best suit your operation, we are happy to help you work through the options before you order.

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 Cool Vent Chef Shirt is a fitted, professional kitchen shirt designed with the demands of active service in mind. Made from a lightweight polycotton blend, it combines a tailored cut with practical ventilation features to help manage the heat and physical demands of a working kitchen environment.

The shirt incorporates Chef Works' Cool Vent side panels, which work alongside the polycotton fabric to encourage airflow and draw moisture away from the body during service. For kitchen staff working long shifts at the pass, on the line, or in front of hot equipment, this kind of passive cooling can make a meaningful difference to comfort over the course of a day.

Practical details worth noting include:

• Fitted silhouette designed for a professional, comfortable fit
• Matching buttons and triple top-stitching for a neat, durable finish
• Lightweight polycotton construction for ease of movement
• Cool Vent panels positioned to maximise airflow during active service
• Available in a range of sizes from XS through to 2XL

This shirt is well suited to chefs and kitchen staff who spend extended periods in warm kitchen environments and want workwear that maintains a professional appearance without sacrificing comfort. It is a practical everyday option for brigade members across most kitchen settings, from restaurant kitchens to contract catering operations.

If you are kitting out a team and want guidance on sizing or uniform planning, the team is happy to help.

The Chef Works Cool Vent Chefs Shirt is a short-sleeved, unisex kitchen shirt designed to address one of the more persistent practical problems in professional catering: heat build-up during service. The shirt incorporates Cool Vent side panels positioned at the underarm, using a two-way venting construction to encourage airflow and reduce trapped heat against the body.

In a working kitchen environment, particularly during sustained service or in confined cooking areas, standard chef whites can become uncomfortable quickly. The polycotton fabric — 65% polyester, 35% cotton — balances the durability and easy-care properties of polyester with the softness and breathability that cotton contributes, keeping the garment practical for daily commercial use and straightforward to launder on a commercial cycle.

This shirt suits kitchens where staff are moving between hot preparation and service areas throughout a shift. It works equally well as a standalone chef's shirt or as part of a coordinated team uniform. The grey colourway offers a practical alternative to traditional white for operations where colour-coded uniforms are in use or where chefs prefer a less formal presentation.

Practical points worth noting: this is a lighter-weight garment suited to warmer working conditions or summer service periods. For kitchens that run particularly cold or require heavier-duty uniform protection, a different weight or style may be more appropriate.

If you are outfitting a full team and need guidance on sizing across the range or whether this shirt is the right fit for your operation, the team is happy to help before you place an 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.

The Chef Works Cool Vent Chefs Shirt is a short-sleeved polycotton kitchen shirt designed specifically for the heat and physical demands of professional catering environments. The defining feature is the underarm Cool Vent side panels, which use a two-way venting system to encourage airflow and help regulate body temperature during service.

In a busy commercial kitchen, heat management is a practical concern rather than a comfort preference. Chefs working over hot ranges, grills, or fryers in poorly ventilated spaces will feel the difference that improved breathability makes, particularly during extended shifts or through warmer months. The polycotton construction balances durability with ease of care — it holds its shape through repeated commercial laundering while remaining comfortable to wear for a full shift.

Key practical features of this shirt include:

• Underarm Cool Vent panels promoting active airflow during service
• Short-sleeved cut suited to hot kitchen environments
• Polycotton fabric that launders reliably under commercial washing cycles
• Unisex cut available across a standard size range
• Lightweight construction without compromising a professional appearance

This shirt is well suited to kitchen brigades where staff comfort and a consistent, professional presentation are both priorities. It is a practical everyday option for chefs and kitchen assistants working in high-temperature environments. For operations requiring long-sleeved options, heavier-weight fabrics, or specific colour schemes across a team, it is worth considering the broader Chef Works range.

If you are kitting out a team and want guidance on sizing, quantities, or the most appropriate styles for your operation, feel free to get in touch with us before placing your order.

The Chef Works Cool Vent chef's shirt is a short-sleeved polycotton shirt designed specifically for kitchen environments where heat and physical activity make comfort a genuine operational concern. The defining feature is the underarm Cool Vent side panels, which use a two-way venting system to increase airflow around the body during service.

In a busy kitchen, heat builds quickly — particularly during long shifts, high-output service periods, or warmer months. The Cool Vent construction helps manage that by allowing air to circulate where the body generates most heat. The polycotton fabric is a practical choice for a working kitchen environment: it holds its shape through regular commercial laundering and offers a reasonable balance between breathability and durability without being delicate.

From a practical standpoint, this shirt suits kitchens looking for a comfortable, workable uniform piece rather than a heavily structured chef's coat. It's well suited to front-of-house kitchen roles, café kitchens, food prep environments, and any setting where staff are moving constantly and comfort through a long shift matters.

• Unisex cut suitable for mixed kitchen teams
• Short sleeves practical for active kitchen roles
• Polycotton construction handles repeated commercial washing
• Cool Vent panels target the areas of highest body heat

It's worth considering that this is a lighter-weight uniform option. Operations requiring full chef's coat protection or more formal front-of-house presentation may want to weigh up whether a structured coat is more appropriate for their setting.

If you're kitting out a team and want to talk through sizing, quantities, or whether this shirt is the right fit for your operation, we're happy to help.

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.

This is a plain, unisex long sleeve shirt from Chef Works, made from a polycotton blend and cut to work equally well across a range of front of house roles. It sits within Chef Works' coordinated uniform range, which means it pairs readily with other items in the collection, useful for operators who want a consistent look across floor staff without sourcing from multiple suppliers.

The polycotton construction is a practical choice for hospitality environments. It holds its shape and colour reasonably well through regular commercial laundering, and the fabric weight is light enough for comfort during long service periods without sacrificing a presentable appearance. It is not a heavy-duty kitchen workwear shirt. It is designed for floor staff, reception, and similar guest-facing roles rather than kitchen environments where food soiling and heat are constant factors.

• Comfortable through extended front of house shifts
• Launders well with regular commercial washing
• Coordinates with other items in the Chef Works uniform range
• Unisex cut suits mixed teams without separate ordering
• White colourway works with most existing uniform schemes

This shirt is well suited to restaurants, hotels, cafés, and event catering operations where a smart, consistent staff appearance matters.

Available in sizes S, XL and 2XL.

If you are kitting out a larger team or building a complete uniform scheme, it is worth speaking with us to make sure sizes, quantities, and coordinating pieces are right before you order.
