Placemats

These are single-use embossed white paper placemats, supplied in packs of 500. They provide a clean, consistent table presentation for each cover without the laundering costs and turnaround time associated with linen or fabric alternatives.

In practical table service, disposable placemats help protect tablecloths or bare table surfaces, reduce reset time between covers, and give a tidy uniform appearance across the dining room. They are commonly used in cafés, casual dining restaurants, hotel breakfast service, and any operation where speed of table turnover matters. The embossed finish adds a degree of texture that improves the look over plain paper alternatives.

• Single-use format eliminates laundering and linen management costs
• Consistent presentation across every cover throughout service
• Faster table reset compared to fabric alternatives
• Suitable for both tablecloth and bare-table settings
• Bulk 500-pack reduces frequency of reordering

There are no installation requirements. Storage is the main practical consideration — a pack of 500 has a combined weight of around 2.5kg, so bulk ordering will require adequate dry storage space. For high-volume operations turning over a large number of covers daily, it is worth calculating consumption per service period to ensure you hold sufficient stock without over-ordering.

These placemats are well suited to casual and mid-range dining operations, hotel breakfast and lunch service, and any venue where a clean table presentation is needed without the overhead of linen management. Operations with more formal table settings or specific branding requirements may want to consider custom-printed or heavier-weight alternatives.

If you are unsure about quantities, pack sizes, or whether these fit your table service setup, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

These Olympia placemats are made from synthetic leather and provide a practical, presentable table covering for restaurants, cafés, hotels, and similar hospitality environments. The faux leather finish gives a tidier, more considered look than bare tabletops or paper alternatives, without the maintenance requirements of genuine leather.

In everyday service, synthetic leather placemats hold up reasonably well to repeated wiping and light spillage, making them straightforward to turn around between covers. The material is firm enough to sit flat without curling, which keeps the table looking neat during a busy service. They are not designed for heavy-duty industrial use, but for front-of-house table service they perform reliably in the role.

Practical advantages for front-of-house operations include:

• Wipe-clean surface keeps turnaround between covers quick and simple
• Consistent appearance across tables without laundering requirements
• Synthetic leather finish suits a range of dining environments and styles
• Sold in packs of four, making it straightforward to stock in useful quantities
• Firm, flat profile sits neatly without repositioning throughout service

There are no installation requirements. These placemats are ready to use straight from the pack. Bear in mind that synthetic leather can mark or deteriorate over time with heavy use of abrasive cleaners, so mild wiping is recommended to extend their service life. They are not suitable for use in ovens or under heated lamps in direct contact.

These placemats are a sensible choice for operators setting up or refreshing a dining room who want a consistent, easy-care table presentation. They suit casual dining, cafés, and mid-range restaurants particularly well. If you are equipping a larger venue or need a greater quantity, it is worth considering how many packs will cover your full service requirements comfortably.

If you are putting together a broader table service setup and want to talk through what works well together, the team is happy to help.

These glossy white disposable paper placemats are a practical table service solution for operations where speed of turnaround matters. Each placemat provides a clean, presentable surface for a single cover, and the glossy finish gives a tidier appearance than plain paper alternatives without adding complexity to the table setup.

In busy environments — cafés, casual dining rooms, canteens, or event catering — disposable placemats remove the need for laundering linen or wiping down hard surfaces between covers. The pack of 400 means a single order goes a reasonable way in steady-volume service, though high-turnover sites running multiple sittings will want to factor reorder frequency into their planning.

Practical advantages for day-to-day service include:

• Eliminates linen laundry costs for table base protection
• Speeds up table reset between covers
• Consistent clean presentation across all tables
• White glossy finish suits a range of casual dining styles
• Single-use format supports straightforward hygiene compliance

There are no installation requirements. Storage space is the main practical consideration — at just under 8kg per pack, a case of 400 is manageable but worth factoring into your storeroom layout, particularly if you intend to hold multiple packs in reserve.

These placemats are best suited to casual dining, café, or canteen settings where a clean, low-cost table presentation is the priority. They are not a replacement for quality linen in formal dining environments, but for operations where practicality and throughput take precedence, they are a reliable everyday consumable.

If you are unsure how many packs suit your weekly cover count, or whether a different size or finish would work better for your service style, we are happy to help you work that out.

These APS placemats are made from finely woven PVC and supplied in packs of six in a neutral silver and grey colourway. They are a straightforward, practical table service item designed to protect table surfaces and provide a clean, consistent presentation for covers.

PVC construction makes these mats well suited to busy dining environments where quick turnaround between covers is important. They wipe clean easily between sittings, which helps maintain a tidy table presentation during a full service without the need for laundering. The woven finish gives a more refined appearance than plain vinyl whilst retaining all the practical benefits of a non-fabric surface.

• Wipe-clean surface supports fast turnaround between covers
• No laundering required, reducing linen costs and handling time
• Neutral silver and grey colourway suits a range of dining styles
• Supplied in packs of six, practical for stocking multiple tables
• Durable PVC material holds up well under regular daily use

There are no installation requirements for placemats of this kind, but it is worth considering whether the size works with your table layout and cover spacing before ordering in volume. The silver and grey finish is versatile but may not suit all interior schemes, so it is worth viewing the colour in person if a close match to existing tableware or linen is important.

These mats are a sensible choice for restaurants, cafés, hotels, and contract catering operations looking for a low-maintenance alternative to fabric placemats. If you are outfitting a larger dining room or need a different colourway, it is worth getting in touch to discuss the full range of options available.

The Steelite Modern Twist placemat is a hand-printed silicone table linen designed for commercial dining environments. The black and grey hatch pattern gives it a clean, contemporary appearance that sits comfortably alongside formal table settings without looking utilitarian. It is supplied in boxes of twelve, making it straightforward to stock in sufficient rotation for busy services.

Silicone construction means these mats hold their shape through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without curling, warping, or losing colour. Because silicone has no memory, the mats lay flat immediately on removal from the rack — a small but meaningful advantage when covers are turning quickly and there is no time to straighten out rolled or creased linens. The material is BPA free and fully food safe.

For front-of-house teams, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Withstands commercial dishwasher temperatures without degradation
• Lays flat without pressing or steaming — no additional handling required
• Non-porous surface does not absorb spills, oils, or odours
• Consistent appearance across the dining room with no fading or shrinkage
• Reduces linen laundry costs compared with fabric alternatives

These mats are well suited to hotels, restaurants, and contract catering operations looking to reduce linen costs without compromising table presentation. They are particularly useful in high-turnover environments where speed of reset matters. For operations that prefer a runner format or need a different colourway, other configurations within the Modern Twist range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether silicone mats are the right fit for your table service setup or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Steelite Modern Twist Silver Stream placemat is a hand-printed silicone table linen designed for use in commercial dining environments. Made from pure food-safe silicone, it offers the visual softness of a cloth linen with practical advantages that cloth cannot match — no laundering, no ironing, and no risk of staining in the same way fabric carries.

In a busy restaurant or hotel dining room, consistency of presentation across covers matters. These placemats lay completely flat without curling or bunching, which means front-of-house staff aren't adjusting or repositioning them between services. They hold their shape regardless of how they've been stored or stacked, which simplifies mise en place and keeps tables looking well set even at speed.

• Fully food-safe silicone construction — BPA free and non-toxic
• Commercial dishwasher safe, reducing linen handling between services
• Lay-flat design with no memory — no curling or bunching after washing
• Suitable for table service in hotels, restaurants, airport lounges, and similar venues
• Available in silver stream finish, suited to contemporary cover settings

From an operational standpoint, the shift away from cloth placemats removes a consistent laundry cost and the logistical overhead of linen rotation. Silicone is also straightforward to sanitise to food-safe standards, which is relevant in environments where allergen control and hygiene documentation matter.

These placemats are well suited to mid- to high-end table service operations looking for a contemporary alternative to cloth. They are sold in boxes of twelve, which suits both initial setup and ongoing stock replenishment. If your operation runs a large number of covers or requires a different colourway or format, it's worth speaking with the team to ensure the specification fits your service style before ordering in quantity.

These APS black PVC placemats are a practical table service accessory for restaurants, cafés, hotels, and similar hospitality settings. Made from finely woven PVC, they provide a clean, consistent surface underlay for place settings and are available in a range of colours to suit different front-of-house styles.

In everyday service, PVC placemats like these are valued for their combination of practicality and appearance. The woven construction gives a degree of visual texture without sacrificing ease of cleaning — they can be wiped down quickly between covers, which is a meaningful advantage during busy service periods when turnaround time matters.

• Wipe-clean PVC surface suits high-turnover table service
• Consistent black finish works well across a range of tableware styles
• Supplied in packs of six, suited to incremental stock building
• Lightweight and easy to store in standard linen or smallwares storage

These placemats are well suited to operations that want a degree of table protection and a defined place setting without the laundering overhead of fabric alternatives. They are a sensible choice for casual dining, café service, or as a practical backup option in busier hospitality environments. For operations requiring a more formal table presentation, fabric or leather-look alternatives may be worth considering.

If you're uncertain whether these fit your table service setup or would like guidance on quantities for your covers, our team is happy to help you work it out.

This Olympia placemat is made from a faux leather material and provides a neat, consistent table setting for front-of-house use. At 400 x 300mm it sits comfortably under a standard place setting, offering a defined surface that helps anchor covers on bare or polished tables.

In busy restaurant and hospitality environments, practical table accessories tend to earn their keep through durability and ease of maintenance rather than appearance alone. The faux leather surface wipes down quickly between covers, which matters during a busy lunchtime or evening service when turnaround time is tight. It holds its appearance well under the kind of repeated cleaning that a cloth or paper alternative would not withstand.

• Wipe-clean surface supports fast cover turnaround between services
• Consistent sizing helps achieve a uniform, well-presented table layout
• Faux leather finish is more resilient to spills than fabric alternatives
• Sold singly, allowing operators to buy to exact quantity
• Brown colourway suits a range of traditional and contemporary dining settings

There are no installation requirements here — the placemat simply sits on the table. It is worth considering whether the brown colourway works with your existing linen, crockery, and furniture before ordering in volume. If you are setting multiple covers, ordering a few to assess the look in your own dining room first is a sensible step.

Well suited to restaurants, hotels, gastro pubs, and function rooms looking for a durable, easy-to-maintain alternative to fabric placemats or bare table settings. For venues requiring a different size or colour to match a specific scheme, it is worth exploring the wider Olympia range.

If you are unsure which style or quantity works best for your covers, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Modern Twist silicone placemat is a practical alternative to traditional cloth or vinyl table linen. Made from food-safe silicone, it provides a stable, non-slip surface for place settings and is available in a range of colours — this listing covers the chocolate colourway.

In a busy front-of-house environment, the material holds up well to repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without warping, cracking, or retaining odours. Because silicone has no memory, the mat lays flat immediately after washing and drying, which removes the handling time associated with fabric linen and eliminates the need for ironing or pressing.

• Food-safe silicone construction — BPA free
• Lays flat without pressing or steaming after each wash
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher cycles
• Wipes clean quickly during service if needed
• Consistent appearance across a table setting without the variation of laundered cloth

These mats are used across hotel restaurants, contract dining rooms and airport lounges where table presentation matters but linen management is a cost or logistical burden. They are straightforward to store — stackable and compact — and the chocolate colourway works well alongside neutral or warm-toned tableware schemes.

This product is sold in a box of 12. For venues with larger covers or multiple dining areas, quantity requirements are worth planning before ordering. If you are unsure whether this colour or format is the right fit for your table scheme, the team is happy to help you think it through.

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.

These Tork paper slipcovers provide a straightforward disposable alternative to linen tablecloths. Each cover is 900mm square, made from paper, and supplied in packs of 25. They sit over an existing table surface or base cloth to give a clean, reasonably presented finish without the laundry overhead that comes with fabric linen.

In practice, paper slipcovers like these are most commonly used in casual dining environments, cafés, and pub restaurants where table turnover is high and the cost and logistics of laundering linen are difficult to justify. They are also a sensible choice during lunch service in venues that ordinarily use fabric cloths for evening covers — the slipcover takes the wear during the busier, quicker midday period and can be removed and discarded between covers.

• Eliminates linen laundry costs for casual or daytime service
• Provides a clean table surface between covers without additional labour
• Red colouring suits informal or branded dining environments
• Lightweight and easy to store in bulk
• Simple to dispose of, supporting faster table turnover

There is little in the way of installation to consider — these are a consumable product requiring only suitable storage space. The main practical question is volume: at 25 covers per pack, operators running high-turnover services will want to ensure they hold adequate stock. Paper slipcovers are not suited to formal fine dining settings where fabric linen is expected by guests.

These covers suit cafés, casual restaurants, pub dining rooms, and event caterers looking to manage presentation costs without compromising on a clean table finish. If you cover a high volume of covers daily or need a different colourway, it is worth discussing your requirements with us to ensure you are ordering the right product at the right quantity.

These APS placemats are made from PVC with a fine band woven texture, supplied in packs of six in black. They sit flat on the table, provide a defined place setting area, and are straightforward to wipe clean between covers.

In a busy service environment, placemats need to be practical first. These hold up well to regular use, resist spillage without absorbing it, and can be wiped down quickly during a turn. Because they are lightweight and flat, they stack neatly in storage without taking up significant space — a useful consideration in smaller front-of-house setups where storage is limited.

• PVC construction wipes clean quickly between covers
• Flat profile stacks neatly for compact storage
• Fine band woven texture adds surface grip to place settings
• Consistent black finish suits a range of table presentations
• Supplied in packs of six, practical for staggered restocking

There are no installation requirements. These are suitable for restaurants, cafés, bistros, and hotel dining rooms. For operators running larger dining rooms or higher cover counts, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or additional stock would better suit your linen and mise-en-place rotation.

If you are putting together a wider table service package or are unsure which placemat material best suits your setting, feel free to get in touch with the team for a straightforward conversation.

These Tork paper tablecloth slipcovers are a straightforward disposable table covering designed to sit over an existing tablecloth or directly on a table surface. Each cover is square in format and made from paper, providing a clean, white surface for each new cover. They are commonly used as a cost-effective alternative to linen tablecloths or as a protective layer over fabric cloths during busier daytime services.

In practice, slipcovers like these suit operations where table turnover is frequent and the time and cost associated with linen laundering needs to be reduced. A fresh cover can be laid quickly between covers, keeping presentation consistent without adding pressure to front-of-house staff during service. They work equally well as a protective overlay for linen during lunch service, reducing soiling and extending the time between full linen changes.

• Reduces linen laundering frequency in high-turnover table service
• Allows fast, clean table resets between sittings
• Suitable as a linen protector during daytime or set-menu service
• Consistent white presentation across all covers in the pack
• No special storage or preparation required

Being paper, these covers are not suited to settings where moisture resistance or durability through a long sitting is a priority. For environments with heavier use or longer dwell times, a more robust disposable or a linen solution may be worth considering.

These slipcovers are well suited to cafés, bistros, set-menu restaurants, and event catering operations where a clean, practical table presentation is needed without the overhead of full linen management. If you are weighing up disposable versus linen options for your operation, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work best in different service environments.

The Steelite Modern Twist placemat is a hand-printed silicone table linen designed for commercial table settings. It sits flat without curling or creasing, carries a smart two-tone black and grey finish, and is produced from food-safe, BPA-free silicone throughout.

In busy table-service environments, the practical advantage of a silicone placemat becomes clear quickly. Unlike fabric linen, there is no laundering cycle, no ironing, and no storage of damp cloth. Unlike vinyl, the material does not discolour under heat or crack with repeated cleaning. These mats go through a commercial dishwasher cycle and come out ready to use — a meaningful operational saving during multi-cover services or high-turnover breakfast settings.

Key practical points for front-of-house teams:

• Commercially dishwasher safe — no specialist cleaning required
• Lays flat without curling, even after repeated wash cycles
• Food safe and BPA free — suitable where allergen-conscious presentation matters
• Durable silicone construction holds its colour and shape under regular commercial use
• Wipes down quickly between covers for faster table turns

There are no installation considerations for a placemat, but it is worth thinking about storage and quantity. Silicone mats stack neatly and take up less space than folded cloth, though the weight per unit means bulk orders do have handling implications for stock rooms. They are well suited to any setting where linen laundry costs are a concern — hotels, airport lounges, contract caterers, and casual dining restaurants are all common end users.

If you are specifying these across a larger estate or want guidance on quantities for a particular service style, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Steelite Modern Twist placemat is a silicone table linen alternative designed for commercial dining environments. Made from food-safe silicone in a woven twine pattern, it sits in the space between cloth napery and vinyl placemats — offering the visual warmth of a textile with the practical durability of a non-porous material.

In operational terms, silicone placemats of this type earn their place in high-turnover dining rooms where linen laundering costs are a genuine concern. They lay flat without curling, resist heat from serving vessels, and clean down quickly between covers. The silver twine finish suits contemporary and neutral table schemes, and the material holds its appearance through repeated cleaning cycles without the colour fade common in fabric alternatives.

• Commercially dishwasher safe — consistent results through high-volume cycles
• Lay-flat construction — no curling or reshaping required between services
• Food-safe silicone — BPA free and non-porous for good hygiene practice
• Heat resistant surface — protects tables from warm plates and serving dishes
• No laundering required — reduces linen handling and associated labour

These placemats are sold in boxes of 12, which suits initial table setting for smaller venues or topping up existing stock. They are well suited to hotel dining rooms, café counters, and restaurant covers where a consistent, low-maintenance table presentation is a priority. For very large operations or where a full table runner aesthetic is preferred, broader format options may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this format and finish is the right fit for your table scheme or service volume, we are happy to talk it through.

The Modern Twist Midnight Hive trivet from Steelite is a 178mm circular silicone trivet designed for front-of-house table service in commercial hospitality settings. It is intended as a heat-resistant resting surface for hot pots, pans, teapots, and serving vessels placed directly on the table, protecting table surfaces while maintaining a considered, consistent table presentation.

Made from food-safe silicone, this trivet carries no BPA and is free from the plasticisers associated with older vinyl alternatives. The silicone construction means it retains no memory of being rolled or folded in storage, so it lays reliably flat on the table without staff needing to smooth or straighten it during service — a small but practical advantage during a busy cover turn.

• Commercial dishwasher safe — straightforward to clean without dedicated handling procedures
• Lays flat without curling or warping, even after repeated washing
• Food-safe silicone construction, BPA free
• Consistent appearance across covers without ironing or pressing
• Suitable for use alongside cloth linen or as a standalone table accessory

Being dishwasher safe makes the trivet straightforward to cycle through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher between services. There are no special handling or drying requirements, which keeps back-of-house linen management simple. The silicone material is durable under regular commercial washing cycles and does not degrade in the way fabric alternatives can over time.

These trivets are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and café operations that serve hot beverages or sharing dishes at the table. They are sold in boxes of six, which suits operations building out a consistent cover count. If your operation requires a different format — runners, placemats, or a different colourway — it is worth speaking with us about what else is available within the Modern Twist range to ensure a coherent table setting.

If you are uncertain whether this format fits your existing table service setup, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Modern Twist Trivet from Steelite is a silicone table accessory designed to protect surfaces from hot dishes and cookware while contributing to a considered table setting. At 178mm in diameter, it sits comfortably beneath individual serving vessels, cast iron dishes, and hot plates, making it a practical addition to front-of-house table service.

Made from pure silicone, the trivet is heat-resistant, completely food-safe, and free from BPA. The hive pattern in graphite gives it a clean, contemporary appearance that works well alongside both modern and traditional tableware. Unlike cloth or fabric alternatives, it will not absorb grease or staining, and because silicone has no memory, it lays flat consistently — something that matters in a busy dining room where table turns are frequent and presentation needs to be quick and reliable.

For operations running a commercial dishwasher, these trivets wash cleanly without warping or degrading. Key practical points include:

• Commercially dishwasher-safe for high-frequency laundering
• Food-safe silicone with no BPA content
• Lays flat without curling or creasing after washing
• Resistant to grease, staining, and odour absorption
• Supplied in a box of six for straightforward stock management

These trivets are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and airport lounges where a polished table setting is expected and durability under daily commercial use is a requirement. They are sold in boxes of six, which suits most operators managing table linen and accessory stock in small multiples.

If you are building out a full table service range or are unsure how these fit alongside your existing tableware, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Modern Twist placemat is a silicone table linen alternative designed for hospitality environments where presentation, hygiene, and durability all need to work together. Made from food-safe silicone, it offers the visual warmth of a fabric placemat without the laundering overhead that cloth linen demands.

In a busy front-of-house setting, the practical advantages become clear quickly. The silicone construction means placemats can go straight through a commercial dishwasher after service without warping, shrinking, or losing their colour. Because the material has no memory, they lay completely flat on the table every time — there is no reshaping or steaming required before a cover is set. The denim blue finish provides a consistent, considered look that suits a range of table settings from casual dining to smarter restaurant environments.

• Food-safe silicone construction, BPA free
• Commercial dishwasher safe — no specialist laundering required
• Lays flat without reshaping after washing or storage
• Supplied in a box of 12, suited to bulk restocking
• Denim blue finish with a cloth-like appearance

There are no water or electrical installation requirements. These are straightforward to introduce into an existing table service operation, and the box quantity of 12 makes them practical to order in multiples aligned to cover counts. They are well suited to hotels, restaurants, contract catering, and airport lounges where consistency of presentation matters and linen management is a consideration. For venues running very high cover volumes across multiple sittings, it is worth reviewing par levels carefully to ensure adequate rotation through the wash cycle.

If you are weighing up silicone placemats against cloth linen or other alternatives for your operation, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work best in different service environments.

The Steelite Modern Twist placemat is a hand-printed silicone table liner designed for professional table service environments. Unlike fabric or vinyl alternatives, it is produced from pure silicone, which gives it a distinctly different surface quality — closer in appearance to a cloth linen but considerably more practical in daily service use. The grey marble finish works across a range of table settings without appearing overly themed or casual.

In commercial environments where table turns are frequent and linen laundry costs are a constant consideration, silicone placemats offer a straightforward operational alternative. They clean quickly, require no ironing or specialist laundering, and because the material has no memory, they lay flat consistently without curling at the edges — a common issue with cheaper vinyl options that have been through repeated wash cycles.

• Commercially dishwasher safe, so they can go through the rack with the crockery
• Lay flat without curling, even after repeated washing
• BPA free and fully food safe
• Wipe-clean surface for rapid mid-service refresh
• Consistent appearance across the table without folding or creasing

From a practical standpoint, silicone placemats are best suited to operations that want a dressed table look without the overhead of managing a linen programme. They are widely used in hotels, airport lounges, and branded restaurant groups where consistency of presentation matters and back-of-house laundry capacity is limited or expensive. They are sold in boxes of twelve, which suits initial rollouts or topping up existing stock.

These placemats are not a direct replacement for full cloth table linen in fine dining settings where a premium fabric feel is expected by guests. For those environments, the choice is a considered one. For casual dining, hotel breakfast service, or any operation looking to reduce linen handling, they are a practical and durable option worth considering.

If you are assessing table presentation options across a number of covers or need guidance on quantities, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Modern Twist Cloud Hive Trivet is a 178mm round silicone trivet designed for use in commercial table service settings. Sold in boxes of six, it is intended as a practical protective surface for hot dishes, cookware, or serving vessels placed directly on the table during service.

Silicone construction means the trivet withstands heat from serving vessels without warping or degrading over time, and the material has no memory — it lays flat consistently after every wash rather than curling or bunching as fabric-based alternatives can. For front-of-house teams, that consistency matters during a busy turn, when there is no time to fiddle with linens before placing a dish.

• 100% food safe silicone with no BPA
• Commercial dishwasher safe for straightforward back-of-house handling
• Lays flat without distortion after repeated washing
• Eco-friendly material suitable for venues with sustainability considerations
• Suitable for hotels, restaurants, and similar hospitality environments

Being silicone, these trivets are simpler to maintain than cloth table linen and more durable under regular commercial dishwasher cycles than many vinyl alternatives. The hive pattern gives a contemporary appearance that sits comfortably in modern dining room settings without looking utilitarian.

These are a straightforward table service item with no installation requirements. The main practical consideration is matching the trivet diameter to your serviceware — at 178mm, they suit most standard serving vessels and cast iron cookware used for table presentation, but it is worth checking against your specific pieces if coverage is important.

Well suited to hotels, restaurants, brasseries, and similar hospitality operations looking for a reliable, low-maintenance alternative to cloth trivets. If you are unsure whether these fit your table service setup, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Swantex Aspen Swansoft tablecover is a 1200x1200mm disposable table covering made from airlaid material — a non-woven fabric that closely replicates the drape and softness of cloth linen. Supplied in packs of 50, it is intended for hospitality operations where a presentable table setting is expected but the practicalities of laundering linen are not desirable or feasible.

In service, airlaid tablecovers perform well in covers-driven environments: they absorb minor spills rather than allowing liquid to pool, they hold their shape across a sitting, and they tear away cleanly at changeover without leaving debris. For operators running back-to-back covers or event catering where speed of reset matters, the disposable format removes the dependency on linen turnaround or on-site laundry capacity.

Practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:

• No laundering cost or linen management overhead
• Consistent, uniform presentation across every table
• FSC Mix certified material for operators with sustainability requirements
• Absorbent construction that handles minor spills without visible spreading
• Simple stock management — one SKU covers a full service or event run

There are no installation requirements. Storage consideration is the main practical factor: a 50-pack has a reasonable footprint, so operators running high-volume events should plan storage accordingly and consider order frequency versus available space.

These covers are well suited to restaurants, hotels, event caterers, and banqueting operations where linen-quality presentation is expected but cloth linen is impractical. They are equally appropriate for seasonal or one-off events where hiring or laundering linen is not cost-effective. For very high-volume operations or where a heavier, more structured cover is preferred, it is worth considering alternatives within the disposable tablecover range.

If you are weighing up disposable versus reusable linen for your operation, or need guidance on quantities for an upcoming event, the team is happy to talk it through.
