Straws and Stirrers

These are wide-bore paper straws designed specifically for thicker drinks such as smoothies, milkshakes, and blended fruit beverages. Made from FSC-certified paper, they are compostable and suited to operators who want to move away from single-use plastic without compromising on function at the point of service.

The wider bore and thicker gauge construction means these straws hold up better against dense drinks than standard-width paper straws, which can soften and collapse quickly when submerged. For smoothie bars, juice counters, and café operations serving blended drinks, that added durability is a practical advantage during a busy service shift.

• Compostable and FSC-certified paper construction
• Wide bore suitable for smoothies and thick blended drinks
• Thicker gauge resists softening during normal drink service
• Pink colour coding can help with menu or brand presentation
• Pack of 250 suits moderate to high service volume

These straws are a straightforward disposal item rather than a piece of equipment, so there are no installation considerations. Storage is the main practical point — keep packs in a dry environment away from moisture, as paper straws are sensitive to humidity even before use.

Well suited to cafés, juice bars, smoothie counters, and any food service operation looking for a compliant, compostable alternative to plastic straws. The pack size of 250 works for moderate service volumes; higher-volume sites may want to consider larger pack quantities to reduce handling and ordering frequency.

If you are unsure which straw specification suits your drink menu or volume requirements, the team is happy to help you work it out.

These are FSC-certified compostable paper straws from Fiesta, produced with a wider bore and thicker gauge than standard paper straws. The green stripe design makes them a practical choice for operators who want a presentable, on-trend look without resorting to single-use plastic.

The wider bore is the key practical difference here. Standard paper straws struggle with thick drinks — smoothies, milkshakes, and blended fruit beverages tend to collapse a thinner straw quickly. The heavier gauge on these holds up noticeably better through a full service period, though as with all paper straws, they are not designed for prolonged soaking and work best when drinks are served and consumed promptly.

• Wide bore suits thick smoothies, shakes, and blended drinks
• Thicker gauge resists softening better than standard paper straws
• FSC 100% certified — supports responsible sourcing credentials
• Compostable — suitable for venues with commercial composting arrangements
• Green stripe design adds a clean, presentable finish at the point of service

These are well suited to cafés, juice bars, health food venues, and any operation serving blended drinks as part of a regular menu. A pack of 250 suits moderate service volumes; higher-volume sites may want to consider bulk pack options to reduce per-unit cost and packaging waste.

If you're unsure which straw type or pack size best fits your service setup, the team is happy to help you work it out.

These are wide-bore paper straws designed specifically for smoothies, thick shakes, and similar high-viscosity drinks. The wider diameter and thicker paper gauge help the straw hold its shape during use, which is a common failure point with standard paper straws used in drinks they were never intended for. The red stripe design gives a clean, recognisable look that suits casual dining, juice bars, and café environments.

In busy service settings, straw performance is a practical concern. Paper straws that soften too quickly lead to customer complaints and replacement requests, which adds waste and interrupts service. The thicker construction here offers a reasonable working life for a standard smoothie or blended drink, though like all paper straws they are not suited to prolonged soaking or very hot liquids.

• Wide bore suitable for smoothies, thick shakes, and blended drinks
• Thicker gauge paper reduces softening during normal drink service
• FSC 100% certified — supports responsible sourcing credentials
• Compostable construction supports waste reduction and compliance with single-use plastics legislation
• Pack of 250 provides practical stock volume for café or bar use

These straws are straightforward to store and require no special handling. They are a practical fit for operators already running compostable or eco-aligned front-of-house disposables. If your outlet serves a high volume of thick blended drinks daily, it is worth reviewing pack sizing and storage to avoid running short during peak periods.

If you are unsure whether these suit your drink menu or are looking to align your full disposables range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Fiesta kraft paper smoothie straws are made from FSC-certified paper and are fully compostable, making them a practical choice for operators looking to move away from single-use plastic without compromising on functionality. The wide bore and thicker gauge are designed specifically for thicker drinks — smoothies, milkshakes, and blended beverages — where a standard straw would collapse or restrict flow.

In a busy café or bar environment, straw performance matters more than it might seem. Thin paper straws have a reputation for going soggy or losing their shape mid-service, which creates a poor customer experience. These are built to hold up reasonably well through a typical drink, though as with all paper straws, extended contact with liquid will eventually soften them — they are not a direct substitute for plastic in every scenario.

• Compostable and FSC-certified, supporting waste reduction commitments
• Wide bore suitable for smoothies, milkshakes, and blended drinks
• Thicker gauge helps maintain shape during normal service
• Kraft paper finish gives a natural, unfussy appearance
• Pack of 250 suits moderate-volume service periods

These straws are well suited to cafés, juice bars, casual dining venues, and hotel beverage service where compostable disposables are part of a broader sustainability policy. For very high-volume sites going through straws rapidly, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would be more practical from a storage and cost-per-unit perspective.

If you are working out the right disposables mix for your operation or have questions about compostable product compatibility with your waste disposal arrangements, we are happy to help point you in the right direction.

These are wide-bore paper straws designed specifically for thicker drinks such as smoothies, milkshakes, and blended fruit beverages. Made from FSC-certified paper, they are compostable and offer a practical alternative to single-use plastic straws where compliance with plastic reduction policies is a requirement.

The wider bore and thicker gauge construction help the straw hold its shape during use, which is a common failing point with standard-width paper straws when used with denser drinks. For smoothie bars, juice counters, and café operations serving blended drinks through busy service periods, that structural reliability matters — a straw that softens and collapses mid-service reflects poorly on the overall drink experience.

• Compostable and FSC 100% certified paper construction
• Wide bore suited to smoothies, milkshakes, and thick blended drinks
• Thicker gauge for improved rigidity during service
• Black colour coordinates well with most branded cup presentations
• Pack of 250 for straightforward stock management

These straws are well suited to cafés, juice bars, health food outlets, and any operation regularly serving blended or thick cold drinks. For venues with very high throughput, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would better suit your ordering cycle and storage capacity.

If you are reviewing your disposables range or switching away from plastic straws and want a steer on what works in practice, the team is happy to help.

These are paper straws from Utopia, supplied in packs of 250 with a blue stripe design. Made from paper and fully biodegradable, they are a straightforward replacement for single-use plastic straws in line with current UK legislation on single-use plastics.

In a busy bar or café environment, having a reliable stock of compliant straws to hand is a basic operational requirement. Paper straws of this type are commonly used across pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and event catering, wherever drinks are served with a straw. The blue stripe finish gives a clean, presentable appearance suitable for most casual and mid-market front-of-house settings.

• Biodegradable and compliant with UK single-use plastics restrictions
• Suitable for cold soft drinks, cocktails, and blended beverages
• Blue stripe design works well for casual dining and bar service
• Pack of 250 provides reasonable stock for moderate service volumes

It is worth noting that paper straws are not well suited to hot drinks or prolonged use in very thick beverages, where the straw may soften more quickly. For high-volume venues getting through large quantities, it is worth considering whether bulk pack options would offer better value.

If you are unsure how many packs to order for your service volume, or whether a different straw format would suit your operation better, feel free to get in touch with the team.

These are single-use paper cocktail stirrer straws from Fiesta, supplied in packs of 250. At 140mm in length, they sit comfortably in most standard cocktail and short drinks glasses, and the 5mm diameter keeps them practical for stirring without being too bulky. Made from paper and certified compostable, they're a straightforward swap for operations looking to move away from plastic disposables.

In a busy bar or hospitality setting, having a consistent stock of stirrers matters more than it might seem. Paper stirrers of this type hold up well enough for their intended purpose — a brief stir or a garnish rest — though they aren't designed for prolonged immersion in liquid. For most cocktail and spirits service, that's not a limitation in practice.

• Compostable construction supports waste reduction commitments
• Black colouring suits most bar aesthetics without clashing
• 140mm length works well with standard cocktail glassware
• Pack of 250 provides a sensible stock unit for regular service
• Paper material avoids single-use plastic regulations

These are well suited to bars, hotel lounges, restaurants, and event catering where drinks service is regular but individual stirrer use is brief. For very high-volume venues running continuous cocktail service, it's worth considering whether a larger pack format would reduce handling and restocking time.

If you're reviewing your full disposables range or want guidance on quantities for a specific service volume, the team is happy to help you work it out.

These Fiesta paper straws are designed specifically for bubble tea service, where a wider bore is essential for drawing tapioca pearls and similar additions through the straw without restriction. Made from paper and certified commercially compostable to EN13432 standards, they offer a straightforward alternative to single-use plastic straws in line with current UK legislation on plastic disposables.

The 12mm diameter is well suited to bubble tea, smoothies, and thick blended drinks where a standard-width straw would be impractical. The 210mm length is appropriate for the tall cups commonly used in bubble tea service. Each pack comes in a dispenser box, which keeps straws clean, accessible, and easy to manage at a counter or service station without loose straws becoming untidy or contaminated.

Practical operational benefits include:

• Wide 12mm bore handles tapioca pearls and thick blended drinks without blockage
• EN13432-certified compostable — suitable for operators with commercial composting arrangements
• Dispenser box format supports tidy, hygienic counter presentation
• Paper construction complies with UK restrictions on certain single-use plastics
• 150 per pack provides a useful stock unit for moderate-volume venues

It is worth noting that compostable certification applies to commercial composting conditions — these straws are not suitable for home composting and should not be placed in standard recycling streams. If your waste contractor does not accept EN13432-certified compostables, the environmental benefit will be limited in practice.

These straws are well suited to bubble tea shops, juice bars, cafés, and any venue serving thick or pearl-based drinks. For higher-volume sites, it is worth considering larger pack formats to reduce storage handling and unit cost.

If you are unsure which straw specification suits your menu or service setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Fiesta paper straws are designed specifically for bubble tea service, with a 12mm bore wide enough to allow tapioca pearls and other inclusions to pass through freely. Made from paper and certified commercially compostable to EN13432 standards, they offer a practical, compliant alternative to single-use plastic straws. The red and white stripe pattern is a widely recognised style in bubble tea presentation.

The pack of 150 comes in a dispenser box, which keeps straws accessible and hygienic during busy service without needing to decant them into a separate holder. For countertop service points where speed and cleanliness matter, that kind of practical packaging detail is worth noting.

• Wide 12mm bore suited to bubble tea with tapioca pearls
• Commercially compostable to EN13432 — suitable for sites with compostable waste streams
• Dispenser box format reduces handling during service
• Red and white stripe design consistent with bubble tea presentation
• Paper construction meets single-use plastics regulations

It is worth confirming that your waste contractor accepts EN13432-certified compostables before committing to these across your operation — commercial composting facilities are required for the certification to be meaningful in practice. These are not suitable for hot drinks, and the paper construction will soften over time in cold drinks with ice, so they are best suited to prompt service rather than extended table time.

Well suited to bubble tea shops, café counters, and any operator looking to replace plastic straws with a certified compostable option. If your volumes are significantly higher, bulk case formats may be worth exploring. If you have questions about which disposable straw works best for your specific drinks menu, feel free to get in touch with the team.

These 140mm wooden coffee stirrers from Fiesta Green are a straightforward plastic-free alternative for front-of-house hot drinks service. Made from Betula wood, they are smooth-finished and rated safe for use with liquids up to 100°C, making them suitable for stirring sugar, milk, or syrups into hot drinks without risk of splintering or softening during normal use.

For busy cafés, contract caterers, and hospitality venues working to reduce single-use plastic, these stirrers offer a simple, low-cost step without changing service workflow. The 140mm length works well with standard takeaway cups and dine-in mugs alike, and the pack of 1000 gives reasonable stock depth for moderate to high-volume operations.

• Smooth Betula wood construction — no splintering during normal use
• Safe for hot drinks up to 100°C

• Pack of 1000 provides practical bulk stock for regular service

These are well suited to coffee shops, cafés, mobile catering units, festival and event catering, and any operation looking to move away from plastic stirrers without significant cost uplift. For very high-volume sites running multiple service points, it is worth considering how quickly stock turns over and whether a larger case quantity would be more practical.

If you are reviewing your full disposables range or need guidance on quantities for a particular service volume, the team is happy to help you work that out.

These 190mm wooden coffee stirrers from Fiesta Green are a straightforward, plastic-free alternative for any food service operation that serves hot drinks. Made from Betula wood, they are smooth-finished and sturdy enough to stir without flexing or splintering, which makes for a clean, comfortable experience at the point of service.

In practical terms, they perform well in front-of-house settings where speed and consistency matter. The wood tolerates hot drink temperatures without softening or degrading mid-use, so customers can mix sugar, milk, or syrups into their drinks without issue. The 190mm length suits standard takeaway cups and sit-in mugs alike.

• Plastic-free construction supports single-use compliance and waste reduction goals
• Smooth Betula wood finish reduces the risk of splinters at the point of use
• Suitable for hot drinks service without softening or structural failure
• Pack of 1000 supports continuous front-of-house stock without frequent reordering
• Biodegradable material reduces environmental impact compared to plastic alternatives

As a disposable item, storage and stock management are straightforward — the pack weight is light and the stirrers are easy to portion into counter dispensers or cup stations. They are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, hospitality venues, food markets, and mobile catering units.

For very high-volume sites — festival catering or large contract operations running through significant quantities daily — it is worth considering whether bulk case quantities would be more practical. If you are unsure about the right quantity or format for your setup, the team is happy to help you work it out.
