£16.86(£20.23 inc VAT)
These are 400x400mm linen table napkins from Olympia, supplied in packs of 12 in a plain grey finish. Made from 100% linen, they are a straightforward reusable napkin option for restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues where presentation and practicality both matter.
Linen napkins of this size are a common choice for formal and semi-formal covers. The 400mm square is a practical working size — generous enough to fold well and functional for guests during service. The grey colourway is neutral and pairs easily with most table linen schemes without demanding a closely matched look.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of a linen napkin over disposable alternatives are:
- Reusable across many covers, reducing ongoing consumable spend
- Linen fabric holds a fold well, supporting consistent presentation
- Machine washable at 30°C, straightforward to launder in standard linen cycles
- Natural material with a soft handle that holds up well to repeated washing
- Grey finish helps manage visible wear between washes in busy operations
The practical consideration with any reusable linen programme is laundry throughput. If your operation runs multiple sittings or high covers, you will need sufficient stock rotation to ensure clean napkins are available through service without relying on same-day turnaround from your laundry. A pack of 12 is a starting point — most venues purchasing for table use will want to consider the volume of covers they turn to work out the right quantity to hold.
These napkins are well suited to restaurants, bistros, private dining, and event catering where a reusable cloth napkin is preferred over disposable tissue. If you are setting up a full linen programme or are unsure how many packs to order for your covers, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.
£13.60(£16.32 inc VAT)
These black stripe bistro napkins from Tonrose are a practical cloth-style napkin for restaurant and café table covers. Made from 100% polyester that has been jet-spun to mimic the handle and drape of cotton, they present well on the table without the drying time or snagging issues that woven cotton napkins can attract in a busy laundry cycle.
In service, they hold their appearance across multiple covers and fold cleanly into a cutlery sleeve or simple rectangular lay — a common requirement in bistro-style and brasserie settings where a relaxed but tidy table presentation is expected. The polyester construction means they dry faster than cotton equivalents after washing, which matters when linen turnover is tight between sittings or when a smaller establishment is managing its own laundry rather than using an external linen service.
Practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:
- Jet-spun polyester construction closely replicates the look and feel of cotton
- Faster drying than cotton napkins — useful for in-house laundry operations
- Resistance to snagging helps maintain appearance over repeated wash cycles
- Classic black stripe pattern suits bistro, brasserie and café environments
- Folds flat for cutlery presentation without specialist napkin-folding skills
These are sold in packs of ten, which suits smaller establishments building stock or operators trialling a new napkin style before committing to larger quantities. For high-volume restaurants or venues running multiple sittings daily, it is worth considering how many packs will be needed to maintain a working rotation.
If you are unsure how many to order for your service volume or whether this style suits your table setting, the team is happy to advise.
£52.04(£62.45 inc VAT)
These are unbleached, 2-ply paper napkins made from recycled fibre, supplied in a quarter-fold format at 330x330mm. They are part of the Vegware range, which is designed to support commercially compostable waste streams — meaning they can be processed through industrial composting facilities alongside food waste, rather than going to landfill.
In day-to-day service, the 2-ply construction gives a reasonable level of absorbency and durability for a lunch or light dining setting. They hold up well enough for counter service, food-to-go, and café-style operations where napkins are dispensed loose or presented with orders. The kraft, unbleached finish gives a natural appearance that sits well with operators who want their disposables to reflect a more sustainable or artisan-leaning brand identity.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Commercially compostable — compatible with industrial composting facilities
- Unbleached recycled fibre reduces reliance on virgin paper stock
- 2-ply construction balances absorbency with economy of use
- Neutral kraft appearance suits a range of service styles
- 2000 per pack reduces reorder frequency for busy sites
These napkins are suited to cafés, delis, food courts, street food traders, and casual dining operations that are either running a certified compostable waste stream or working towards one. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor that commercially compostable packaging is accepted at your local facility before committing to this format across your operation.
If you are reviewing your full disposables range or want guidance on matching napkins to your existing compostable packaging, the team is happy to help.
£30.43(£36.52 inc VAT)
These are straightforward, single-ply white paper napkins in a quarter-fold format, sized at 330x330mm. They're a standard catering consumable used across a wide range of food service settings — the kind of napkin that does the job without drawing attention to itself.
In practice, the quarter-fold format works well for laid covers, counter service, and tray lines. The napkin opens to a usable size for a lunch or light dining setting without the bulk of a heavier multi-ply option. Single-ply construction keeps per-unit costs low, which matters when you're working through volume across a busy service.
- Consistent white finish suitable for general table service and counter use
- Quarter-fold format ready for place settings or dispenser-free counter stacking
- Large pack size reduces reorder frequency for busy sites
- Single-ply construction keeps consumable costs manageable at volume
At 5000 sheets per pack, this is realistically a bulk purchase suited to sites with regular footfall — canteens, cafés, casual dining, events catering, or staff restaurants. A single pack goes a reasonable way in most operations, though high-turnover sites will want to factor in storage space given the pack weight.
If you're unsure whether single-ply suits your service style, or you'd like guidance on quantities relative to your covers, our team is happy to help you work it out.
£50.06(£60.07 inc VAT)
These Swantex dinner napkins are made from recycled kraft paper and folded to a 1/8 fold for neat, ready-to-lay presentation. At 40x40cm and two-ply, they provide a practical cover for most table settings without the weight or cost of a linen alternative. The kraft finish gives a natural, unfussy appearance that suits casual dining, bistro, and café environments particularly well.
In a busy front-of-house setting, the pre-folded format saves time during setup and reduces handling. The two-ply construction holds up well during service — adequate for a main course setting where guests expect a functional napkin rather than a premium cloth substitute. Being compostable, they can go into a food waste or compostable waste stream where facilities support this, which is a practical consideration for operators working toward waste reduction targets.
- Pre-folded 1/8 format speeds up table laying and reduces handling time
- Compostable construction supports kitchen waste reduction commitments
- Recycled kraft material provides a natural, honest aesthetic at the table
- Two-ply provides reliable performance through a typical dining service
- Large pack quantity reduces reorder frequency for moderate-to-high-volume sites
With 2000 napkins per pack, stock management is straightforward for most medium-volume operations. Storage space is worth considering — a pack of this size has a reasonable footprint, so factor that into your dry goods area before ordering in volume.
These napkins are well suited to casual restaurants, cafés, canteens, and event catering where presentation is important but linen is impractical. For very high-volume banqueting or formal dining where a heavier, more structured napkin is expected, it may be worth looking at alternative options in the range.
If you're unsure whether this specification is the right fit for your service style or volume, our team is happy to help you work it through.
£27.03(£32.44 inc VAT)
These red check gingham napkins from Mitre are made from spun polyester and are a practical choice for casual dining settings where a traditional, homely look is part of the atmosphere. The classic gingham pattern is well suited to cafés, tea rooms, farm shops, and informal bistros where a cloth napkin adds a considered touch without requiring the formality of plain white linen.
Polyester fabric holds up well through repeated laundering, which matters in high-turnover operations where napkins go through the wash several times a week. The material is easy to iron and resists creasing reasonably well, helping front-of-house staff turn covers more efficiently during busy service periods.
- Traditional red check pattern suited to relaxed, informal dining environments
- Spun polyester construction tolerates frequent commercial laundering
- Easy to iron, helping maintain a presentable finish between services
- Supplied in packs of ten, practical for small operations or topping up existing stock
- A simple, cost-effective way to introduce cloth napkins without a large outlay
It is worth noting that polyester napkins are not the right choice for every setting — fine dining or premium covers typically call for cotton or linen. These are best considered where casual presentation and practical laundry management are the priorities.
If you are unsure how many packs suit your cover count, or whether this fabric weight works for your service style, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£18.89(£22.67 inc VAT)
These are 100% linen table napkins from Olympia, supplied in black and sized at 400x400mm. Sold in packs of 12, they are intended for reuse across multiple service covers rather than single-use disposal.
Linen is a practical choice for front-of-house use. The fabric holds its shape and texture through repeated laundering, and the natural fibres give a slightly more substantial feel than cotton or polyester blends — which tends to read well on a laid table without requiring much effort from the front-of-house team. The black colourway is straightforward to maintain in service, as it masks minor marks and staining between washes without looking tired.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:
- Machine washable, which keeps laundering straightforward in house or via a linen service
- Reusable across multiple sittings, reducing ongoing consumable costs versus disposables
- Natural linen construction resists pilling over time better than synthetic alternatives
- The 400mm square format folds cleanly for standard napkin presentations
There are no installation or utility requirements to consider here. Stock levels are worth thinking about: for a busy restaurant running multiple sittings, 12 napkins per pack is a starting point rather than a full service float — most operators will want several packs in rotation to allow for laundry turnaround time.
These napkins suit restaurants, hotels, and event caterers who want a reusable cloth option without a significant outlay. If your operation runs very high covers or requires a heavier weight fabric, it is worth comparing options across the range before committing to volume.
If you are unsure how many packs to order for your service rotation, the team is happy to talk it through.
£13.60(£16.32 inc VAT)
These Tonrose bistro napkins are a practical front-of-house linen option for operators who want a consistent, presentable table setting without the cost or weight of traditional cotton. Made from 100% polyester with a jet-spun finish, they carry the look and feel of a woven fabric while being more forgiving in a busy laundry cycle. The burgundy stripe detail works well in casual dining, bistro, and pub environments where a relaxed but tidy table presentation is expected.
In day-to-day service, polyester napkins of this type hold up well under repeated laundering, resist shrinkage, and dry quickly — a practical advantage when turnaround between services is tight. They press cleanly and lie flat on the table without much effort, which helps front-of-house staff set covers at pace during a busy turnaround.
- Cotton-like feel suitable for casual and mid-range dining covers
- Quick-drying fabric reduces laundry turnaround time between services
- Stripe detail adds a defined, consistent look across all table settings
- Durable enough for repeated commercial laundering cycles
- Supplied in packs of ten, practical for stocking to cover a full section
These napkins are best suited to bistros, cafés, gastropubs, and casual dining restaurants where cloth napkins are appropriate but high-end linen is not required. For higher-volume operations covering multiple sittings, buying in larger quantities to maintain a working stock through laundry cycles is worth considering.
If you're unsure how many packs suit your cover count and laundry frequency, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.
£15.70(£18.84 inc VAT)
These Mitre Occasions polyester napkins are a practical table linen option for catering operations that want a consistent, presentable finish without the ongoing cost of laundering cotton. Made from heavyweight 100% polyester, they carry the appearance and texture of traditional linen and hold their shape well through repeated washing and service use.
Polyester napkins of this type are commonly used in banqueting, function venues, and mid-market restaurants where volume and turnaround matter. They launder reliably, resist pilling over time better than lower-grade alternatives, and return to service looking presentable with straightforward ironing. The hemmed edges help maintain shape and prevent fraying after repeated wash cycles.
- Hold their shape and appearance through repeated commercial laundering
- Hemmed edges resist fraying and maintain a tidy finish over time
- Suited to banqueting, function catering, and table service operations
- Consistent white finish works across a range of table settings
As with any polyester linen, they are not a direct substitute for the hand feel of pure cotton, and operations with a premium dining focus may prefer cotton or cotton-blend alternatives. For high-volume banqueting where durability and cost-per-cover matter more than tactile quality, polyester is a practical and well-proven choice.
If you are unsure whether polyester or cotton linen is the better fit for your service style or volume, we are happy to talk it through.
£22.96(£27.55 inc VAT)
The Mitre Luxor range is a mercerised cotton table napkin designed for formal dining, hotel restaurants, and banqueting operations where presentation standards are consistently high. The ivy leaf weave pattern gives the napkin a structured, refined appearance that holds well when folded, making it a practical choice for covers that need to look correct from the moment guests are seated through to the end of service.
Mercerisation is a finishing process that increases the tensile strength of the cotton and improves its ability to take and hold a sharp fold. In practice, this means the napkins launder reliably over repeated cycles without the fabric softening or losing its crispness — an important consideration when linen is turning over daily across a large number of covers.
- Mercerised cotton construction for durability through commercial laundering
- Ivy leaf weave pattern that holds a clean fold under service conditions
- Generous 550 x 550mm size suitable for formal place settings
- Crisp white finish compatible with most table linen schemes
- Supplied in packs of ten for straightforward stock management
As with any cotton table linen, laundry handling and storage conditions will affect the working life of the napkins. Consistent laundering at the correct temperature and proper pressing will maintain appearance over time. Operations running very high cover volumes may find it worth considering larger pack quantities to manage stock rotation effectively.
These napkins are well suited to hotel dining rooms, fine dining restaurants, and event catering where a formal linen standard is expected. They sit at the quality end of the Mitre linen range, and are less likely to be the right fit for casual or high-turnover environments where a lighter or more economical napkin would serve better.
If you are specifying linen across multiple dining areas or need guidance on quantities relative to cover count and laundry cycle, the team is happy to help you work through the practical requirements.
£17.73(£21.28 inc VAT)
The Mitre Luxor napkin is a 100% cotton table napkin finished in crisp white with a woven ivy leaf pattern. Mercerised during manufacture, the cotton yarns are treated to increase their lustre, strength, and resistance to repeated laundering — a practical consideration for any operation that turns napkins through a commercial wash cycle multiple times a week.
In a dining environment, the condition of your linen has a direct bearing on how a table presents. These napkins hold their shape and whiteness well across regular service use, making them a reliable choice for restaurants, hotels, private dining rooms, and banqueting operations where a consistent table standard matters.
- Woven ivy leaf pattern adds a degree of formality without being overstated
- Mercerised cotton improves durability and maintains appearance through commercial laundering
- 450mm square size suits a range of fold styles and cover settings
- Supplied in packs of 10, practical for topping up existing stock
- White finish works across varied table linen schemes
These napkins are suited to mid-range and formal dining operations. For more casual settings, a smaller or lighter-weight napkin may be more practical and cost-effective to run through laundry. For venues requiring a higher thread count or a more premium hand feel, it is worth considering where these sit within the broader Mitre linen range before committing to volume.
If you are stocking a new dining room or reviewing your linen specification across a number of covers, it is worth having a conversation with us — getting the right napkin size, weight, and quantity matched to your laundry cycle can make a noticeable difference to linen life and running costs.
£16.12(£19.34 inc VAT)
These Mitre Occasions black polyester napkins are a practical choice for restaurants, hotels, banqueting operations, and event caterers looking for a reusable cloth napkin that holds its presentation through repeated laundering. Made from 100% polyester with a texture that closely resembles traditional linen, they offer a neat, formal appearance without the cost and care demands of natural-fibre table linen.
The hemmed edges help the napkins keep their shape and resist fraying after regular commercial washing, which is a common failure point with lower-quality alternatives. The square format folds cleanly into standard napkin presentations, making them straightforward to use across front-of-house teams without additional training.
- Reusable construction reduces ongoing spend compared to disposable alternatives
- Hemmed edges for durability through repeated laundry cycles
- Classic linen-effect texture suits formal and semi-formal covers
- Consistent black colouring maintains a professional table appearance
- Supplied in packs of ten, practical for topping up existing stock
These napkins are well suited to operations running a mid-range to formal table setting. For high-volume banqueting where large quantities are required at once, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would better suit your linen rotation and laundry schedule.
If you are unsure about quantities or want to discuss how these fit into your wider table linen setup, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£21.48(£25.78 inc VAT)
These are heavyweight 100% cotton napkins from Mitre's linen range, finished with a satin band border. The banding runs on all four sides of square napkins, giving a neat, uniform appearance when folded or presented on the cover. The white colourway suits formal table settings and works consistently across a variety of venue styles without drawing attention away from the table dressing.
In service, cotton napkins of this weight hold their fold well and feel substantial to guests — a quality that tends to matter in settings where presentation is part of the overall experience. They launder reliably and maintain their appearance across repeated wash cycles when handled according to standard commercial linen procedures, making them a practical choice for venues managing their own linen in-house or working with a laundry contractor.
This style is commonly used in hotels, restaurants, and private dining operations where a formal cloth napkin is expected as standard. The satin band detail positions them above plain hemmed napkins without moving into highly decorative territory, which keeps them versatile across different service styles. They are supplied in packs of ten, which suits topping up existing stock or trialling alongside current linen.
If you are outfitting a larger operation or need to assess the full range of napkin sizes and finishes available, the team is happy to help you work out the right quantities and specifications before you order.
£15.91(£19.09 inc VAT)
These Mitre Occasions polyester napkins are a practical choice for operators who want the appearance of cloth linen without the associated laundering costs of natural-fibre equivalents. Made from heavyweight 100% polyester with hemmed edges, they present a crisp, structured finish on the table and hold their shape well through a service.
In practice, polyester napkins like these are commonly used across hotel dining rooms, banqueting operations, and event catering where consistency of presentation matters and large volumes of napkins need to be turned around between covers. The fabric resists creasing better than cotton alternatives, which can reduce the time spent on preparation before service.
- Hemmed edges for a neat, formal presentation on the table
- Heavyweight polyester fabric holds its shape and resists creasing
- Suited to banqueting, event catering, and formal restaurant dining
- Reusable and launderable, reducing ongoing consumable spend
- Burgundy colourway coordinates with traditional table linen schemes
As with all reusable linen, operators should factor in laundering arrangements — commercial washing and pressing is typically required to maintain the crease and finish over repeated use. These are sold in packs of ten, which suits top-up ordering rather than full initial stock builds for larger operations.
These napkins are well suited to establishments running a traditional or formal table setting. For operators covering very high covers or requiring a broader range of colourways and sizes, it is worth reviewing the wider Mitre Occasions range to confirm the right specification.
If you are unsure how many packs you need for your cover count or whether this fabric weight suits your service style, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£65.04(£78.05 inc VAT)
These are 2-ply paper lunch napkins from Swantex, printed in a Midnight Sparkle design suited to festive and seasonal table settings. They come pre-folded in a quarter-fold format and are supplied in packs of 1,000, making them a practical choice for operations running high-volume covers over the Christmas and New Year period.
In a busy dining environment, consistency of presentation matters. These napkins arrive ready to place directly into settings or fold into glassware, which reduces front-of-house prep time during a busy service turnaround. The 2-ply construction gives a reasonable hand feel for a paper napkin at this price point, and the 33x33cm size is a standard lunch napkin dimension suited to table dining, buffet service, and casual hospitality settings alike.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Pre-folded quarter format speeds up cover laying between services
- 1,000-count pack reduces reorder frequency over a seasonal run
- Printed design adds a festive touch without additional table dressing
- Recyclable where free from food contamination, subject to local collection guidelines
These are a seasonal product, so operators should plan stock quantities in advance. They are not a year-round design, and once the festive period passes, remaining stock will be of limited use in most settings. Storage space for a 1,000-count pack should also be factored in, particularly for smaller operations.
Well suited to restaurants, hotels, pub dining rooms, and event caterers running festive menus where a seasonal napkin adds presentation value without significantly increasing costs. For sites serving lighter footfall or shorter seasonal windows, a smaller pack size may be worth considering.
If you are unsure of the right quantity for your anticipated covers or have questions about coordinating napkins across a broader festive table setup, the team is happy to help you work it through.
£59.89(£71.87 inc VAT)
The Swantex Calgary is a 2-ply kraft paper lunch napkin, folded to a quarter and supplied in packs of 1,000. The 330x330mm format is a practical all-round size for table settings, café counters, and casual dining covers. The kraft finish gives a straightforward, unfussy appearance that suits operators who want something functional without being overly formal.
These napkins carry FSC certification, meaning the paper is sourced from responsibly managed forests. For operators working to reduce their environmental footprint or meeting sustainability requirements from clients or venues, that certification provides a verifiable basis for the claim rather than just a general reference to being eco-friendly.
In day-to-day service, 2-ply napkins at this size are a dependable choice for lunchtime covers, takeaway wrapping, and snack or light meal service. The quarter fold makes them straightforward to stack, present in dispensers or napkin holders, and handle quickly during a busy turnaround.
- FSC-certified kraft paper for verifiable sustainability credentials
- 2-ply construction offers reasonable strength for food service use
- Quarter fold suits most standard dispensers and table presentation
- Pack of 1,000 supports consistent stock levels in volume service
If you are comparing napkin grades, sizes, or fold styles across your operation — or need to match a house standard — the team is happy to talk through what works best for your covers and service style.
£67.74(£81.29 inc VAT)
These are 1-ply pre-folded lunch napkins made from recycled kraft paper, supplied in a pack of 6,000. The kraft finish gives them a natural, unbleached appearance that has become a common choice in casual dining, street food, and café environments where a sustainable aesthetic matters to customers and operators alike.
In a busy service environment, pre-folded napkins speed up table setting, counter presentation, and tray service. Because they arrive ready to use, there is no handling required beyond placement, which keeps service moving during peak periods. The 6,000-unit pack size is practical for sites that go through napkins in volume — reducing the frequency of reordering and storage rotation.
The recycled kraft material is both compostable and biodegradable, which supports waste reduction commitments and simplifies end-of-use disposal where composting facilities are in place. Key practical points for operators:
- Pre-folded format reduces handling time during service setup
- Compostable and biodegradable — supports sustainable waste streams
- Recycled kraft material gives a natural finish suited to casual and eco-conscious concepts
- High pack quantity reduces reorder frequency for busy sites
- Compatible with standard napkin dispensers
This pack is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, canteens, food-to-go operations, and event catering where volume consumption is expected. For sites with lower throughput, smaller pack sizes may be more practical to avoid long storage periods. Equally, operators running higher-volume multi-site operations may want to discuss pallet or bulk pricing options.
If you are unsure whether this napkin format fits your service style or sustainability policy, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£47.80(£57.36 inc VAT)
These are straightforward 2-ply paper lunch napkins in a classic cream finish, supplied in a quarter-fold format and sized at 33x33cm — a practical, widely used specification for table service, counter settings, and tray service environments. The pack size of 2000 sheets makes them a sensible bulk purchase for sites going through napkins at volume.
The 2-ply construction gives a reasonable level of absorbency and a degree of substance that single-ply napkins lack, making them better suited to food service settings where guests are actually eating rather than simply handling drinks. The quarter fold keeps each napkin compact and easy to handle, whether you're setting tables in advance or filling a napkin dispenser during service.
From an operational standpoint, these napkins offer a few practical advantages:
- Recyclable construction helps meet waste management and sustainability commitments
- Quarter-fold format is compatible with most standard napkin holders and dispensers
- Bulk pack of 2000 reduces the frequency of reordering and storage restocking
- Cream finish suits a wide range of table settings without looking institutional
These are best suited to cafés, staff canteens, pub dining, hotels, and similar hospitality environments where a clean, presentable table napkin is needed in volume. They are not designed for fine dining where a heavier linen-effect or airlaid napkin would be more appropriate, though they are a reliable choice for everyday covers.
If you're unsure about quantities for your service volume or whether a different specification would suit your operation better, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£48.63(£58.36 inc VAT)
These Fiesta white dinner napkins are a straightforward, practical choice for front-of-house use in cafés, restaurants, bistros and similar food service operations. Supplied in packs of 2000, they are a 2-ply paper napkin folded to a 1/8 presentation, ready to place directly on tables or set out at service points without any additional preparation.
The 2-ply construction gives the napkin enough body to handle food debris and spills reliably without tearing under normal use, which matters during busy service periods when guests are handling them quickly. The 1/8 fold means they sit neatly on covers or in holders and are ready to use straight from the box, reducing the time staff spend on table setting.
From an operational standpoint, a few practical points are worth considering:
- White finish suits most table settings and works with both formal and casual covers
- 1/8 fold is compatible with most standard napkin holders and dispenser stands
- If unsoiled, the napkins are widely recyclable — a useful consideration for operators managing waste streams
- Food or grease contamination affects recyclability, so local recycling options should be checked where this matters
These napkins are well suited to mid-volume and high-volume operations that go through significant quantities of paper napkins during a service. For operators running very high-footfall sites or looking at a different fold, ply count, or colour option, alternative specifications are available within the range.
If you are working out quantities for a new site or reviewing your consumables setup, the team is happy to help you work through what suits your covers and service style.
£32.11(£38.53 inc VAT)
These are straightforward, single-ply paper napkins from Fiesta, supplied in a bulk pack and ready to use as they come out of the box. The quarter-fold means they sit neatly on a laid table, at a counter, or in a dispenser without any preparation time from front-of-house staff. The white finish keeps things clean and unfussy alongside most tableware and branding schemes.
In a busy café, canteen, or casual dining environment, bulk napkins like these are a practical consumable choice. Single-ply construction is sufficient for everyday use — wiping hands, dabbing spills, or covering a lap — and the disposable format removes the handling and laundering that comes with cloth alternatives. The 5,000-sheet pack size suits higher-volume sites and reduces how often you need to reorder.
- Ready to use straight from the pack — no folding or preparation needed
- Disposable format removes laundering costs and cross-contamination risk
- White finish suits a wide range of front-of-house settings
- Bulk pack reduces reorder frequency for busy sites
- Recyclable when unsoiled — supports local recycling where facilities allow
It is worth noting that while these napkins are widely recyclable when clean, any napkins contaminated with food or grease will need to go to general waste or food waste disposal, depending on what recycling provision is available locally. If your operation generates significant napkin waste, it is worth checking with your waste contractor before assuming full recyclability in practice.
These napkins are well suited to cafés, canteens, fast-casual restaurants, and event catering where a practical, cost-effective disposable is required rather than a premium or branded product. If your front-of-house presentation calls for a heavier-weight or embossed napkin, there are other options in the range worth considering.
If you are unsure which napkin format or pack size best fits your operation, we are happy to point you in the right direction.
£49.09(£58.91 inc VAT)
These are straightforward 2-ply paper lunch napkins from Swantex, made from recycled kraft paper and supplied in a pack of 2000. Folded to a quarter, they open to a 330x330mm sheet — a practical size for table laying, counter service, or tray set-ups across a wide range of food service environments.
For day-to-day service, the 2-ply construction gives a reasonable balance of softness and absorbency without the cost of a heavier napkin. The kraft material gives them a natural, unfussy appearance that suits casual dining, café counters, street food operators, and canteen settings well. Being compostable and biodegradable, they are a sensible option for operators looking to reduce their environmental footprint or meet sustainability commitments without a significant cost uplift.
- Compostable and biodegradable — supports waste reduction and sustainability targets
- Quarter-fold format suits both table service and self-serve dispenser use
- 2-ply construction provides adequate absorbency for light lunch service
- Kraft finish suits relaxed, natural, or eco-conscious brand aesthetics
- Pack of 2000 reduces restocking frequency for busy sites
Worth noting: kraft napkins have a more textured, rustic appearance compared to white tissue napkins. They are well suited to casual and counter-service environments but may not be the right choice for formal dining. If your service style calls for a crisper, more polished presentation, a white 2-ply or 3-ply alternative may be more appropriate.

These are standard-format white paper lunch napkins, 2-ply and pre-folded to a 1/8 fold, supplied in cases of 2000. The 330 x 330mm size sits comfortably in the mid-range for lunch and café service — large enough to be practical, compact enough not to overwhelm a table setting.
The 2-ply construction gives a reasonable amount of durability for everyday food service use. They hold together well enough for wiping hands or catching light spills, which makes them a reliable everyday choice rather than a premium or ceremony-service napkin. The 1/8 fold means they come ready to place or fan, saving small amounts of preparation time across a busy service period — a minor advantage that adds up over a high-cover day.
Practically speaking, these napkins offer a few clear advantages for front-of-house operations:
- Pre-folded format reduces handling time during table setup
- White colourway works across most table settings without clashing
- Recyclable when unsoiled, which supports waste management processes where local facilities permit
- Case quantity of 2000 reduces reorder frequency for moderate-volume sites
There are no installation considerations for a product of this type, but it is worth noting that recyclability depends on local authority provision — napkins contaminated with food or grease will generally need to go to general waste rather than recycling. If sustainable disposal is a priority for your operation, it is worth checking what your local recycling contractor will accept before committing to volume.
These napkins are well suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, staff canteens, and sandwich bars running a steady lunchtime trade. For higher-volume sites or operations wanting a more substantial napkin, a heavier-weight or higher-ply option may be worth considering.
If you are unsure which napkin spec best fits your cover count or service style, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£34.40(£41.28 inc VAT)
These Fiesta cocktail napkins are a straightforward, practical choice for bars, pubs and restaurants that need a reliable disposable napkin in volume. At 24x24cm with a 2-ply construction and pre-folded to a quarter, they are ready to deploy straight from the case — useful during busy set-up periods when time is limited.
The 2-ply build gives enough substance to handle spilled drinks and condensation from glassware without tearing under normal use, which matters on a busy bar where napkins are handled quickly. The white finish keeps presentation clean and neutral, suitable alongside most bar or table setups.
- 2-ply construction handles spills and condensation from glassware reliably
- Pre-folded to a quarter — no preparation required before service
- Neutral white finish suits most bar and table presentations
- Recyclable when unsoiled — supports responsible waste practices
- High pack count reduces how frequently stock needs replenishing
From a practical standpoint, the 4,000-unit pack size suits venues going through volume at pace — a busy bar or pub will find the case count sensible for weekly ordering. These are cocktail-format napkins, so they are sized for drinks service rather than as a replacement for dinner napkins; operators needing a larger format for table covers should consider a different napkin range.
On the recycling point, Fiesta note these napkins are widely recyclable when unsoiled. If contaminated with food or grease, local recycling provisions will vary, so it is worth checking what your waste contractor accepts.
If you are unsure which napkin size or ply works best for your service style, our team are happy to help you work through the options.
£45.88(£55.06 inc VAT)
These Fiesta black cocktail napkins are a straightforward, reliable disposable for bars, pubs and restaurants. Made from 2-ply paper and supplied in a quarter-fold at 240x240mm, they are ready to use straight from the pack with no preparation required. The black colourway presents neatly on a bar top or table setting without drawing attention away from the drinks being served.
The 2-ply construction gives enough substance to handle spilled drinks and condensation from glassware without tearing under normal use. For cocktail bars and busy counter service environments where napkins turn over quickly during service, that durability makes a practical difference — fewer double-stacked napkins needed and less waste per cover.
- Quarter-fold format — ready to deploy straight from the box
- 2-ply construction holds up to spills and condensation without tearing
- Black finish suits contemporary bar and restaurant settings
- Recyclable when unsoiled — supports waste reduction where local facilities allow
- High pack quantity reduces reorder frequency for busy venues
Because these are paper napkins, recycling eligibility depends on soiling. Unsoiled napkins are widely recyclable through standard paper streams, but napkins contaminated with food or grease will need to be checked against your local authority's guidance. This is worth factoring in if your venue has specific waste management targets.
A pack of 4000 suits venues with consistent cocktail or drinks service — busy bars or event caterers will find the volume practical for reducing storage runs. Lower-volume sites may find a smaller pack size more appropriate to avoid storage issues or stock going stale in low-humidity environments.
If you are unsure which napkin size, ply or pack quantity fits your operation, we are happy to talk it through.
£48.93(£58.72 inc VAT)
These are three-ply paper dinner napkins from Fiesta's recyclable range, supplied in packs of 1000. Folded to an eighth, they open to a 40cm square — a practical size for table covers at a full dinner service. The recyclable credentials make them a straightforward choice for operators working to reduce single-use waste without switching to cloth.
In a busy food service setting, disposable napkins at this specification handle the demands of consistent table turns without the laundering overhead of linen. The three-ply construction gives reasonable substance for a paper product — adequate for a sit-down meal service in a restaurant, hotel dining room, or event catering context. The 1/8 fold allows compact stacking, which keeps storage tidy and makes restocking tables or buffet stations quick during a busy service.
- Recyclable material supports waste reduction commitments
- Three-ply weight suitable for sit-down dining
- 1/8 fold opens to a full 40cm square at the table
- Pack of 1000 reduces reorder frequency for high-volume sites
- Available in cream and grey to suit different table settings
These napkins suit restaurants, hotels, event caterers, and contract catering operations running regular table service. For very high-volume sites or premium dining where a heavier or more tailored product is required, it is worth considering whether a different specification better fits the service style.
If you are unsure which napkin specification suits your service volumes or presentation standards, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£34.30(£41.16 inc VAT)
These are straightforward 40x40cm white dinner napkins from Fiesta, made from three-ply paper and supplied in a quarter fold. They are a standard choice for table service across a wide range of hospitality settings, from casual dining through to more formal restaurant covers.
The three-ply construction gives a reasonable weight and feel for a paper napkin, holding its shape when placed on a cover and performing adequately for most meal types. At 40x40cm unfolded, they are large enough for a main course setting without being unwieldy. The quarter fold means they sit neatly on a plate or beside cutlery and are quick for front-of-house staff to lay during a busy turnaround.
A few practical points worth noting for operators:
- Three-ply provides better durability than single or twin-ply alternatives during use
- Quarter fold speeds up cover laying during tight turnarounds
- Recyclable material supports waste stream management where paper recycling is in place
- Pack of 1000 suits moderate to high-volume services without frequent reordering
- White colourway works across most table settings and linen combinations
These napkins are suitable for everyday service use rather than premium fine dining, where a linen or heavier paper napkin would typically be more appropriate. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings daily, it is worth calculating consumption against pack size to ensure stock levels remain manageable.
If you are unsure which napkin weight or format best suits your service style, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£70.86(£85.03 inc VAT)
Fiesta Recyclable airlaid paper dinner napkins, 40x40cm (400x400mm open), supplied in a quarter fold. Airlaid paper has a softer, more textile-like feel than standard tissue napkins. Pack of 500.
Available in dark blue and dark green.
£33.88(£40.66 inc VAT)
These are single-ply white paper lunch napkins, folded in an M-fold configuration and supplied in bulk packs of 6,000. Unfolded they measure 270mm x 210mm — a practical table napkin size suitable for light dining, snacks, and counter service. The M-fold format means each napkin can be dispensed cleanly from a napkin holder or stacked neatly on a table or counter without fanning out.
In a busy café, canteen, or casual dining environment, having a reliable stock of napkins is simply part of daily service. These are straightforward, functional napkins made from recycled paper — not intended for fine dining presentation, but well suited to the kind of high-turnover service where cost-per-cover management matters and frequent restocking is an operational inconvenience you want to minimise. A pack of 6,000 gives most moderate-volume sites a reasonable run of stock without excessive storage demands.
- Bulk pack quantity reduces reorder frequency
- M-fold format works with standard countertop napkin dispensers
- Recycled paper construction supports waste-reduction policies
- Consistent white finish suits most table and counter settings
Storage is straightforward — the folded napkins are compact and the full pack weighs just over 6kg, so they can be stored on a standard dry goods shelf without difficulty. There are no special handling requirements.
These napkins are a sensible choice for cafés, canteens, sandwich bars, staff restaurants, and similar operations where volume and value matter more than premium presentation. For higher-end table service where a thicker or larger napkin is more appropriate, a heavier-weight alternative may be worth considering.
If you are working out quantities for a new opening or need advice on napkin formats for a particular dispenser type, the team are happy to help.
£49.55(£59.46 inc VAT)
These Fiesta dinner napkins are a straightforward, practical choice for food service operations that want a reliable disposable napkin with some environmental credentials. Made from recycled paper in a natural kraft finish, they are supplied in a quarter-fold format at 40x40cm, giving reasonable coverage when opened out at the table. The 2ply construction offers a degree of absorbency and durability that single-ply alternatives generally cannot match for a dinner service setting.
In a busy restaurant, café, or events environment, having a consistent napkin supply matters more than it might seem. The kraft finish suits informal dining formats well — street food operations, casual restaurants, pop-ups, and catering events where the natural aesthetic fits the look and feel of the table setting. The quarter-fold makes them easy to lay flat, fold into glassware, or band into cutlery rolls without additional handling time.
- Recycled paper construction with a natural kraft appearance
- 2ply for improved absorbency compared to single-ply napkins
- Quarter-fold for straightforward laying and presentation
- Large pack size reduces replenishment frequency during service
- Recyclable after use, supporting front-of-house sustainability goals
The pack of 2000 suits medium to high-volume operations well, reducing the frequency of stock replenishment. For very high-turnover sites or multi-outlet operations, it is worth considering whether larger volume purchasing would be more practical from a storage and cost perspective.
If you are unsure whether this style and size suits your covers or table format, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work well for different service styles.
£36.24(£43.49 inc VAT)
These are straightforward 2-ply paper napkins made from recycled kraft paper, supplied in a pack of 2000 in a ready-to-use 1/8 fold. The kraft material gives them a natural, unfussy appearance that works well in casual dining settings, cafés, and pubs where a no-frills table presentation is appropriate.
The 2-ply construction provides enough integrity for everyday table use — adequate for mopping up spills without disintegrating mid-use, which is a common problem with single-ply alternatives during a busy service. The 1/8 fold means they can go straight from box to table or dispenser without any additional preparation, which is a small but useful time-saving across a high-turnover operation.
- Ready-to-use 1/8 fold — no preparation required before service
- 2-ply construction reduces tearing during normal table use
- Recycled kraft material suits relaxed, informal dining environments
- Pack of 2000 suits regular bulk purchasing for ongoing stock management
- Where unsoiled, the napkins are widely recyclable — check local food-contaminated paper recycling options for soiled stock
It is worth noting the recyclability point honestly: unsoiled napkins can generally go into paper recycling, but napkins contaminated with food or grease may not be accepted by all local authorities. If sustainable waste management is a priority for your operation, it is worth confirming what your local collection service will accept before committing to a bulk buy.
These are well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, casual dining restaurants, gastropubs, and catering operations where a reliable everyday napkin is needed in volume. If your operation requires a more premium finish or a specific colour, there are alternative options worth considering — feel free to get in touch if you want a steer on what suits your setup best.
