Lady Clare

These rectangular melamine placemats from Lady Clare are a practical table service item designed for use in restaurants, hotels, and other hospitality settings. Made from melamine with a cork backing, they sit firmly on tablecloths and bare surfaces alike, providing a stable base for place settings while protecting the table from scratching and marking.

The cork underside is the detail that matters most in a busy dining room — it prevents the mat from sliding when plates are set down or guests move items around, which helps maintain a tidy table presentation throughout a service. The melamine surface itself is straightforward to wipe down between covers, and the burgundy finish suits traditional or formal dining environments well.

• Melamine surface resists marking and wipes clean quickly between covers
• Cork backing prevents movement on both linen and hard table surfaces
• Burgundy colourway suits formal or traditional dining settings
• Lightweight and easy to stack and store when not in service
• Consistent sizing supports neat, uniform table presentation

These mats are well suited to front-of-house teams looking for a reliable, low-maintenance table accessory. They work equally well on bare wooden tables and over tablecloths. Lady Clare produces this mat in additional colours and sizes, so if burgundy does not match your scheme or the format does not suit your covers, there are alternatives within the range worth considering.

If you are equipping a new dining room or refreshing your table service setup and want to discuss what works best for your style of service, the team is happy to help.
