The Whites Vegas trousers are a practical, everyday workwear option for kitchen staff. Made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton polycotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and comfort for the demands of a busy professional kitchen environment.
The blue and white check pattern is a long-established choice in commercial kitchens — partly functional, partly traditional. The pattern helps to mask minor splashes and staining during service, which keeps the overall uniform looking presentable across a full shift without requiring a change of trousers mid-service.
In practical terms, the polycotton fabric holds up well to regular commercial laundering, which matters when trousers are washed frequently at high temperatures. The lightweight construction helps with comfort during long, hot shifts, though it is worth noting that polycotton offers less insulation from heat than heavier fabrics, which some operators consider a benefit in kitchen conditions.
- Breathable fabric to help staff stay comfortable during long service periods
- Check pattern reduces the visible impact of everyday splashes and spills
- Polycotton construction withstands repeated high-temperature laundering
- Relaxed cut allows ease of movement throughout service
These trousers are well suited to front-line kitchen roles — chefs, prep staff, and kitchen porters in restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and similar environments. They are a sensible, cost-effective option for operations that rotate uniform stock regularly or need to outfit larger teams without significant per-head outlay.
If you are unsure about sizing for your team or need guidance on building out a full uniform package, we are happy to help — just get in touch before placing a larger order.
£8.54(£10.25 inc VAT)
This bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing is a straightforward, lightweight nylon apron in a classic red and white stripe. It offers a reasonable degree of water resistance, making it practical for roles where staff are likely to encounter spills, splashes, or light wet work during service.
At 90g, it sits at the lighter end of the apron range. It is not designed for heavy-duty butchery or intensive kitchen use, but it performs well in front-of-house, bar, and café environments where a clean, presentable appearance matters as much as basic protection. The stripe pattern gives it a traditional look commonly associated with hospitality and counter service settings.
- Water resistant nylon construction handles everyday spills and splashes
- Lightweight at 90g — comfortable to wear through a full shift
- Classic red and white stripe suits front-of-house and hospitality settings
- Generous dimensions provide good coverage for most adults
- Straightforward to launder and quick to dry
As a nylon apron, it is not suited to open-flame environments or tasks requiring heat or cut resistance. Operators needing heavier protection for back-of-house or butchery work should consider a more substantial apron with a reinforced or rubberised construction.
If you are unsure whether this apron is the right fit for your team's specific roles, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£18.99(£22.79 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas trousers are a straightforward, practical workwear trouser designed for daily use in commercial kitchens. Made from an 80% polyester and 20% cotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and comfort without being heavy or restrictive during a long service.
The polycotton fabric is lightweight enough to wear comfortably in warm kitchen environments, and the elasticated waistband means the fit stays consistent through a busy prep session or service period without needing adjustment. The large black and white check pattern is a traditional kitchen choice for good reason — it masks minor splashes and light staining well, helping the trousers look presentable through a full shift.
From a practical standpoint, these trousers are well suited to teams that manage their own laundering in-house or through a commercial laundry service. The polycotton construction holds up well to repeated washing at commercial temperatures without significant shrinkage or colour fade over time.
- Elasticated waistband keeps fit consistent throughout service
- Lightweight polycotton suitable for warm kitchen environments
- Classic check pattern reduces visible staining between washes
- Rated for commercial laundering
These are a solid everyday option for kitchen brigades looking for reliable, no-fuss workwear. They are particularly well suited to back-of-house teams where comfort and practicality take priority. For those working in front-of-house or chef-patron roles where a smarter finish is needed, a tailored trouser may be a better fit.
If you are unsure about sizing or need to kit out a full brigade, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£6.95(£8.34 inc VAT)
The Whites polycotton bib apron is a straightforward, hardwearing workwear apron designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens and food service environments. Made from a polycotton blend, it strikes a practical balance between the durability of polyester and the comfort of cotton, making it well suited to long shifts where staff are on their feet throughout service.
In busy kitchen environments, aprons take a lot of punishment — splashes, heat, repeated washing, and constant movement. The polycotton construction holds up well to frequent laundering without losing its shape quickly, which helps keep uniform standards consistent across a team over time. The sewn-in ties add a small but useful detail: they remove the need for separate apron strings and reduce the risk of ties working loose mid-service.
- Polycotton blend offers a good balance of durability and wearing comfort
- Sewn-in ties keep the apron secure without separate fastenings
- Olive colour is practical for front and back of house presentation
- Lightweight at 190g, comfortable for extended wear during long shifts
- Suitable for use across kitchen, front of house, and food prep roles
The olive colourway works well across both back-of-house and customer-facing roles, and sits comfortably within most hospitality uniform schemes. It is a sensible choice for operators looking to standardise apron stock across different departments without having to manage multiple styles.
For operations with high apron turnover or more demanding kitchen conditions, it is worth considering whether a heavier-weight apron might offer better longevity. If you are buying in volume for a team or want to discuss which apron specification suits your environment, we are happy to help.
£6.95(£8.34 inc VAT)
This bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing is a straightforward, hardwearing piece of workwear designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens and front-of-house environments. Made from polycotton, it offers a practical balance of durability and ease of care, and the bottle green colour makes it a reasonable choice for operations that want a consistent, professional look without the upkeep demands of white.
The apron provides full torso and upper leg coverage, which is useful in kitchen roles where splashing from hot liquids, oils, or food preparation is routine. The polycotton construction holds up well to repeated industrial laundering, meaning it returns to service looking presentable without requiring specialist washing care.
- Easycare polycotton fabric tolerates frequent industrial washing
- Full bib coverage suits both kitchen and floor-of-house roles
- Bottle green colour suitable for front-of-house presentation
- Generously sized to fit a wide range of staff
It is worth noting that polycotton is a general-purpose fabric rather than a specialist protective material. It is well suited to everyday food preparation and service tasks, but for roles involving sustained exposure to heavy heat, open flame, or significant chemical contact, a heavier or purpose-specific apron material would be more appropriate.
If you are outfitting a full team or need guidance on the right apron specification for a particular role, the team is happy to help you choose correctly.
From £9.66(£11.59 inc VAT)
The Whites Butchers Stripe Waist Apron is a straightforward, no-frills workwear apron designed for food preparation and counter service environments. Made from polycotton and cut to a practical waist-down length, it provides front coverage without restricting movement during extended shifts. The traditional printed stripe is available in blue and white or black and white, making it suitable for operations where a consistent, recognisable front-of-house or prep appearance matters.
Polycotton fabric strikes a balance between comfort and durability — it holds its shape and colour through repeated commercial laundering better than pure cotton, while remaining comfortable to wear throughout a full day's service. The sewn-in black ties allow for a secure, adjustable fit across a range of body sizes without the ties working loose during use.
- Traditional stripe print in blue/white or black/white options
- Sewn-in black ties for a secure, consistent fit
- Polycotton construction handles regular commercial laundering
- Waist-length cut allows freedom of movement during prep work
- Practical for butchery counters, deli service, and food preparation areas
This is a waist apron rather than a full bib apron, so it is best suited to environments where upper-body coverage is not a priority — counter service, light prep work, or front-of-house use. For heavier butchery or wet processing work where splash protection across the chest is important, a full bib apron in a more robust material would be the more practical choice.
If you are outfitting a team and are unsure whether this style suits your operation, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work through the options.
£13.00(£15.60 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas is a long-sleeve chef's jacket in a straightforward unisex cut, designed to serve as reliable everyday kitchen workwear. Made from an 80/20 polyester-cotton blend, it balances comfort during long shifts with the durability needed to withstand repeated commercial laundering — a practical consideration for any kitchen operating a regular uniform cycle.
In a busy kitchen environment, workwear takes considerable punishment. The polycotton construction holds its shape and colour through frequent high-temperature washes without the fabric degrading quickly, which helps keep uniform costs manageable over time. The unisex fit makes it straightforward to outfit mixed kitchen teams from a single stock.
- Polycotton fabric tolerates rigorous commercial laundering
- Unisex cut suitable for all kitchen staff
- Long sleeve design provides appropriate coverage for kitchen work
- Available in a full size range from XS to 2XL
- Clean black colourway suits both back-of-house and customer-facing kitchen roles
It is worth considering how many covers or shifts the jacket will need to see through before replacement. For kitchens with very high turnover or more formal front-of-house kitchen exposure, a heavier-weight or more tailored jacket may be worth considering alongside this option.
The Vegas suits casual dining operations, contract catering, staff canteens, and any kitchen where practical, cost-effective workwear is the priority over presentation garments. It is a sensible baseline uniform choice for kitchens equipping a larger brigade on a budget.
If you are outfitting a full team and want to talk through sizing or quantities, we are happy to help.
£4.69(£5.63 inc VAT)
The Whites black neckerchief is a standard brigade accessory used across professional kitchens, front-of-house teams, and catering operations where a consistent, presentable uniform appearance is required. Made from a polycotton blend, it offers a balance of comfort and durability suited to long shifts in warm kitchen environments.
The polycotton construction makes it practical for day-to-day use — it holds its shape and colour well through repeated commercial laundering, which matters in kitchens where uniform items are washed frequently at volume. Black is a practical choice for brigade wear, showing minimal discolouration over time compared with white or pale alternatives.
- Polycotton blend for comfort during extended shifts
- Suitable for commercial laundering at standard cycle temperatures
- Black colourway resists visible soiling and maintains appearance over time
- Lightweight at 60g — unobtrusive during service
- Fits standard brigade uniform requirements across kitchen and front-of-house roles
There are no special care or installation considerations here — this is a straightforward uniform item. It is worth ordering a quantity sufficient to allow rotation through your laundry cycle, particularly in high-turnover or larger brigade environments where daily laundering is impractical.
Well suited to restaurants, hotels, contract catering teams, and any operation running a formal brigade uniform policy. If you need guidance on quantities or coordinating uniform items across your team, we're happy to help.
From £11.38(£13.66 inc VAT)
The Whites V-Neck Service Apron is a polycotton front-of-house apron designed for waiting and counter staff in cafés, bistros, and restaurants. The V-neck cut gives it a noticeably smarter silhouette than a standard bib apron, making it a practical choice where appearance matters as much as function.
The polycotton construction balances durability with breathability, which is worth considering for staff working long shifts in warmer front-of-house environments. The apron provides good coverage across the upper torso and is comfortable to wear through a full service. Long ties allow the apron to be fastened at the front or neatly tied at the back depending on preference, and the centre-divided front pocket keeps a notepad, pen, or other small items accessible without bulging.
- V-neck cut gives a cleaner, more uniform appearance than a standard bib
- Polycotton fabric — practical to launder and holds its shape through regular washing
- Centre-divided front pocket for quick access to service essentials
- Long ties allow front or back fastening to suit different preferences
- Available in black and charcoal to suit common front-of-house colour schemes
This apron is well suited to lower-intensity front-of-house roles where a smart, consistent look is the priority. It is not intended for kitchen use or environments where heavier protection is required. For kitchen or prep roles, a heavier bib or chef's apron would be more appropriate.
If you are kitting out a larger team or need guidance on which apron style suits your operation, the team is happy to help.
From £12.08(£14.50 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas is a short-sleeved, double-breasted chefs jacket made from a polycotton blend. It is designed as a practical, everyday workwear option for professional kitchen environments where comfort during service and straightforward laundering matter as much as durability.
In a busy kitchen, clothing takes a great deal of punishment. The polycotton construction on this jacket holds up well to repeated machine washing and daily wear, and the double-stitched seams are there to resist the kind of stress that comes from constant movement through a working service. The short-sleeve cut helps with ventilation during hot service periods, which is a meaningful consideration for brigade members working close to the pass or on hot sections.
From a practical standpoint, the jacket offers several features that suit a working kitchen well:
- Double-breasted front provides a degree of protection against splashes and minor heat exposure
- Black colourway helps to conceal minor staining between washes
- Polycotton fabric is machine washable and dries quickly
- Double-stitched seams add durability under daily, heavy-use conditions
- Short-sleeve design improves airflow during high-temperature service periods
The black finish also makes this jacket well suited to open kitchens and pass-facing roles where presentation matters to front-of-house standards. It is available across a broad size range, making it a practical choice for outfitting a mixed-size brigade uniformly.
This jacket sits at the everyday workwear end of the range. Operations looking for heavier-duty or more tailored options may find an alternative cloth weight or cut better suited to their requirements. If you are kitting out a full team and want to talk through the options, we are happy to help.
£13.25(£15.90 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas chef trousers are a practical, unisex kitchen trouser designed for everyday commercial use. Cut in a relaxed baggy fit and offered here in charcoal, they are a straightforward workwear choice for kitchen brigades looking for comfort and consistency across a team uniform.
In a busy kitchen environment, comfort over a long shift matters more than many operators initially allow for. The elasticated waistband removes the need for a belt and accommodates movement freely, which is useful during prolonged periods on your feet. The charcoal colourway is a sensible choice for working kitchens — dark enough to minimise the appearance of everyday marks and spills without the formality of black.
The fabric blend — recycled polyester and cotton — brings together durability and breathability. The polyester content handles repeated commercial laundering without significant shrinkage or fading, while the cotton content keeps the material from feeling synthetic against the skin during a warm service. Being made partly from recycled polyester is worth noting for operators whose premises have sustainability commitments.
- Relaxed baggy fit suits a wide range of body shapes and movement
- Charcoal colour helps conceal everyday kitchen marks between washes
- Elasticated waist allows a comfortable fit without adjustment
- Recycled polycotton fabric holds up to regular commercial laundering
- Lightweight construction supports ventilation during busy service periods
These trousers are well suited to kitchen staff at any level — from commis to senior chef — and work across most hospitality settings. They are a stock garment, so consistent reordering for team use is straightforward.
If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure about sizing across your team, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£6.95(£8.34 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward, hardwearing bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made from a polycotton blend and finished in royal blue. It is a practical, everyday workwear item intended for commercial kitchen and hospitality environments where durability and ease of care matter more than ceremony.
Polycotton fabric is a sensible choice for catering use. It holds its shape and colour reasonably well through repeated commercial laundering, resists light splashes and general kitchen soiling, and dries faster than pure cotton equivalents — useful when apron turnover is high during a busy service. The sewn-in ties mean there are no loose components to lose or replace.
The royal blue colour makes this apron well suited to front-of-house or visible kitchen roles where a consistent, presentable look matters, and it works equally well in back-of-house preparation areas. At this size, it provides good coverage for most kitchen tasks.
- Polycotton construction handles frequent commercial washing without rapid deterioration
- Royal blue finish suits front-of-house presentation and team uniformity
- Sewn-in ties remove the need for separate fastenings
- Generous dimensions provide practical coverage during prep and service
This is a single-size apron, so operators with staff at the extremes of height or build should check the dimensions in the product specifications before ordering in volume. It is a mid-weight option — suited to general kitchen and hospitality use rather than heavy-duty butchery or industrial food production environments where a heavier apron material may be more appropriate.
If you are kitting out a team and want to discuss volume requirements or colour coordination across different roles, the team is happy to help.
£6.58(£7.90 inc VAT)
These white waiting gloves from Whites Chefs Clothing are a straightforward front-of-house accessory, made from 100% cotton and cut to a fitted silhouette. They are designed for formal service settings where a clean, polished appearance is expected — typically fine dining, banqueting, or events work.
In practice, cotton gloves of this type are a staple in formal hospitality. They keep hands covered during plate and silverware service, helping to maintain hygiene standards and protect against fingerprints on polished surfaces. The lightweight cotton construction means they can be worn for extended service periods without discomfort.
- Keeps fingerprints off silverware, glassware, and polished serviceware
- Lightweight enough for extended front-of-house wear
- Washable cotton construction supports consistent presentation
- Fitted cut suits formal service environments
Being 100% cotton, these gloves are machine washable, which is a practical consideration for any operation running multiple covers. It is worth ordering enough pairs to allow for laundry rotation between services. They are available in sizes M and L, so it is worth checking your team's requirements before ordering in quantity.
These gloves are well suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers running formal service. They are not intended for kitchen use or heat protection — if you need gloves for oven work or food handling in a production environment, a different product category is more appropriate.
If you are unsure how many pairs to factor in for your team or have questions about other front-of-house accessories, we are happy to help you work through the details.
£19.64(£23.57 inc VAT)
The Whites Cargo Pants are a practical, easy-wearing trouser option for kitchen professionals who want comfort and freedom of movement through a full shift. The classic fit gives a relaxed silhouette without being overly baggy, and the mid-leg cargo pockets add useful storage for small items such as a thermometer, pen, or order pad — practical touches that kitchen staff tend to appreciate once they have them.
The black colourway is a sensible choice for kitchen environments, where spills and splashes are part of daily service. Black fabric handles daily wear without showing the kind of marks that lighter trousers would, helping staff maintain a presentable appearance through a long service without constant changes.
- Classic relaxed fit suitable for long shifts on your feet
- Mid-leg cargo pockets for small items and essentials
- Black colourway that manages the inevitable marks of kitchen service
- Available in a range of sizes to suit different builds
These trousers are well suited to kitchen brigades looking for a practical, everyday workwear option rather than a formal chef's trouser. They work equally well in back-of-house roles where comfort through a long service is the priority.
If you are kitting out a team and want guidance on sizing or volume ordering, we are happy to help — just get in touch before you place your order.
£19.46(£23.35 inc VAT)
The Whites EasyFit trousers are a practical, everyday workwear option for kitchen and front-of-house staff. Made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and breathability — an important consideration for anyone spending a full shift in a hot kitchen environment. The Teflon coating is applied at fabric level, giving the material a degree of liquid repellency that helps minor spills bead away rather than soak straight in.
In a busy service environment, that coating makes a practical difference. Splashes from sauces, stocks, and oils are less likely to leave immediate visible marks, helping staff maintain a tidy appearance through a long shift. The black colourway also works in the wearer's favour here, as it masks minor residual marks that would show more readily on lighter fabrics.
From a practical standpoint, the Teflon finish also shortens laundering cycles — garments dry faster and tend to need less effort to come clean, which matters when you're turning around uniform quickly across a larger team.
- Elasticated waistband with no buttons — reduces a common point of failure in workwear
- Polycotton construction supports breathability during high-heat service periods
- Teflon coating repels liquids and eases washing
- Black colourway helps maintain a professional appearance through service
These trousers are well suited to catering staff who need a reliable, low-maintenance uniform option. They are not a heavy-duty chef trouser in the traditional sense, but for kitchen porters, prep staff, and front-of-house teams, they represent a practical everyday choice. If your team works in more demanding conditions or requires a more structured fit, it's worth considering whether a heavier-weight option would serve better.
If you're kitting out a team and are unsure about sizing, fit, or which trouser suits your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£21.63(£25.96 inc VAT)
The Whites Nevada is a short-sleeve chefs jacket designed for kitchen environments where heat and sustained physical work are the norm. Made from a polycotton lite twill — 65% polyester, 35% cotton — it balances the durability of synthetic fibre with the comfort of cotton, sitting at a practical 270g that feels light through a full shift without sacrificing structure.
The short-sleeve cut and built-in moisture-wicking panels are the jacket's most operationally relevant features. In high-temperature kitchens, particularly during busy service periods, these elements help regulate body temperature and move sweat away from the skin, which makes a measurable difference to comfort and focus over a long shift. The two-tone white and black colouring gives a clean, modern appearance on the pass without demanding the kind of careful laundering that an all-white jacket requires.
- Short-sleeve design reduces heat build-up during high-intensity service
- Moisture-wicking panels help keep staff comfortable through long shifts
- Polycotton construction holds its shape and resists wear in daily commercial use
- Two-tone colourway maintains a professional appearance with less visible soiling on the sides
- Unisex cut available across a broad size range, practical for mixed brigades
As a polycotton garment, this jacket is suited to kitchens looking for everyday workwear at a practical price point. It is not a heavyweight protective jacket, so it is worth considering whether your environment or any applicable health and safety requirements call for a heavier fabric specification. For sites with specific PPE considerations, a cotton-rich or flame-resistant alternative may be more appropriate.
The Nevada works well for café kitchens, restaurant brigades, contract catering teams, and any operation looking to maintain a consistent uniform across a mixed-size team. If you are kitting out a larger brigade or have specific uniform requirements, it is worth a conversation before ordering in bulk to make sure the sizing and specification are right for your team.
From £12.08(£14.50 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas is a short-sleeved, double-breasted chef jacket made from a polycotton blend. It follows the traditional chef whites format while incorporating practical details that hold up well in a working kitchen environment — double-stitched seams, a classic double-breasted front, and a fabric composition that balances durability with everyday wearability.
In a busy kitchen, comfort and practicality matter as much as appearance. The short-sleeved cut improves air circulation during service, which helps kitchen staff stay comfortable when working close to hot surfaces or in poorly ventilated sections. The double-breasted front provides a degree of protection against splashes and minor contact burns, which remains one of the main reasons the design has remained standard across professional kitchens.
From an operational standpoint, the polycotton fabric earns its place in most brigades:
- Machine washable, reducing laundry turnaround time between shifts
- Holds its shape and colour well with regular washing
- Double-stitched seams resist stress at high-wear points
- Available in a wide size range, supporting mixed brigades
- White colourway suits both open and closed kitchen environments
The Vegas jacket is well suited to restaurants, cafés, contract catering operations, and pub kitchens where a clean, professional appearance is required without a high per-unit outlay. It works well as a standard brigade uniform where jackets are laundered frequently and replaced seasonally. For operations with more demanding hygiene or presentation requirements — or where staff wear jackets front-of-house — a heavier-weight or more structured garment may be worth considering.
If you are kitting out a full brigade or want guidance on sizing across a team, our team is happy to help you work through the options before you order.
£20.64(£24.77 inc VAT)
The Whites Chicago is a traditional long sleeve chef's jacket designed for everyday use in professional kitchen environments. Cut in a classic double-breasted style, it is made from an 80% polyester, 20% cotton polycotton blend — a practical choice that holds its shape through repeated commercial laundering while remaining comfortable to wear across a full shift.
The removable stud buttons are a useful practical detail. They allow the jacket to be fully opened flat for washing, which makes a real difference in a busy kitchen where uniforms go through the laundry frequently. The polycotton fabric is also resistant to shrinking and colour fade, which helps maintain a clean, consistent appearance over time.
- Removable stud buttons for straightforward laundering
- Polycotton blend resists shrinking and holds shape through regular washing
- Traditional double-breasted cut suitable for most kitchen roles
- Unisex sizing in S, M, and L to suit a range of team members
- Lightweight at 420g — comfortable for long service periods
This jacket is well suited to catering teams looking for a reliable, no-fuss uniform option — whether in restaurants, contract catering, hospitality, or food production environments. It sits at the practical, everyday end of the range; operators needing specialist features such as stretch panels, moisture management, or flame-resistant fabric may find a more specialised garment better suited to their needs.
If you are kitting out a team and are unsure about sizing, fit, or whether this style suits your operation, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you choose correctly before you order.
From £5.13(£6.16 inc VAT)
The Whites Regular Waist Apron is a straightforward, hardwearing apron designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens and front-of-house environments. Made from polycotton, it strikes a practical balance between durability and comfort for staff who are on their feet throughout a full service.
Polycotton performs well in a catering setting because it holds its shape through repeated washing cycles without the heaviness of pure cotton. It dries relatively quickly and resists the minor shrinkage that can affect fit and coverage over time. The sewn-in ties are a small but useful detail — they stay secure during service without coming loose at awkward moments.
- Polycotton construction handles frequent laundering reliably
- Sewn-in ties for a secure fit during service
- Generous coverage suitable for kitchen and floor use
- Available in white and black to suit different dress codes
There are no special installation or storage requirements. It is worth thinking about how frequently the aprons will be laundered and whether you need to build a rotation into your linen stock — most operators running a busy kitchen will want several per team member rather than one per person.
This apron suits most roles where a basic waist-length covering is needed: kitchen porters, prep chefs, bar staff, and front-of-house teams. If your environment demands a longer bib-style apron for additional coverage, or a heavier fabric for more demanding prep work, it is worth considering other options in the range. If you are unsure which apron style suits your team's role, feel free to get in touch and we can help you work through the choice.
£4.29(£5.15 inc VAT)
The Whites Unisex Money Pocket is a lightweight polycotton waist pouch designed to give front-of-house staff a secure, hands-free way to carry the everyday essentials — order pad, pens, a card reader, and small change — without the bulk of a full waist apron. It sits at the front of the body and ties around the waist, keeping pockets and hands clear during service.
For floor staff working busy covers, it offers a practical middle ground between carrying nothing and wearing a full apron. The one-size construction means it can be issued across a mixed team without the need to stock multiple sizes, and the plain black finish suits most front-of-house uniform schemes without standing out.
- Hands-free carrying solution for order pads, pens, and payment devices
- One-size design suits a wide range of staff without sizing stock
- Black polycotton construction is easy to launder and holds its shape with regular washing
- Lightweight and unobtrusive during long service periods
- Suits most uniform colours and styles without clashing
It is worth noting that this is not a heavy-duty apron and offers no body protection — it is purely a carrying aid. For kitchen roles or any position requiring spill or heat protection, a full apron would be the appropriate choice.
If you are kitting out a team and want to make sure this fits your uniform setup or service style, we are happy to help.
£6.01(£7.21 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward polycotton bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, finished in a red and white stripe. It is a practical, everyday workwear piece designed for kitchen and front-of-house staff who need reliable coverage without complexity.
Polycotton construction gives the apron reasonable durability under regular commercial laundering while remaining lighter and quicker to dry than a heavier cotton alternative. The sewn-in ties are a practical detail — they avoid the need for separate securing and hold up well through repeated wash cycles without fraying or detaching prematurely.
- Polycotton fabric balances durability with ease of laundering
- Sewn-in ties for secure, consistent fit across shifts
- Red and white stripe suits front-of-house and casual dining environments
- Generous proportions offer good coverage for kitchen and service staff
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during long service periods
There are no installation or technical prerequisites here. The main practical consideration is whether the stripe pattern fits your front-of-house presentation. The red and white colouring reads well in casual dining, food market, and bistro settings, though it may not suit all formal service environments. For purely back-of-house use, a plain white or black alternative may be more appropriate depending on your dress code.
This apron suits cafés, casual restaurants, market traders, and kitchen teams looking for a presentable, hardwearing everyday option. If you need aprons in larger quantities, different colourways, or heavier-duty materials for more demanding kitchen roles, the wider Whites range carries alternatives worth considering.
If you are kitting out a full team and want to discuss quantities or apron styles across different roles, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
From £4.45(£5.34 inc VAT)
The Whites Chefs skull cap is a straightforward polycotton chef's headwear option designed for everyday use in commercial kitchen environments. It provides basic hair containment in line with food hygiene requirements and is cut to sit close to the head without excess bulk, making it practical for busy kitchen work where comfort over a full shift matters.
Made from a polycotton blend, the cap balances breathability with durability. It holds its shape through repeated washing and is rated suitable for commercial laundering, which makes it a practical choice for kitchens running a centralised laundry process or those replacing headwear on a regular rotation.
- Polycotton construction, practical for day-to-day kitchen use
- Suitable for commercial laundering, fits into standard kitchen laundry cycles
- Close-fitting skull cap style, low profile and comfortable for full-shift wear

This is a functional, no-frills cap suited to kitchens that need reliable, easily maintained headwear without the bulk of a traditional toque or hat. It works well as part of a uniform programme or as a straightforward replacement item. For sites that require a more structured or branded headwear solution, it is worth considering the wider range before committing to a bulk order.

This is a straightforward, hardwearing bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made from a polycotton blend and finished in plain black. It is designed for everyday use in commercial catering environments, offering reliable protection from spills and general kitchen mess without overcomplicating what is, at its core, a functional workwear item.
Polycotton is a sensible choice for catering aprons. It holds its shape and colour through repeated commercial laundering better than pure cotton, and it is lighter and less prone to clinging than purely synthetic alternatives. For busy kitchens and front-of-house teams that cycle aprons through laundry daily, that durability matters.
The sewn-in ties give a secure, adjustable fit across a range of builds, and the one-size design means aprons can move between kitchen and waiting staff without needing to hold separate stock. The plain black finish is neutral enough to suit most front-of-house uniforms and dark enough to be practical behind the scenes.
- Polycotton construction holds up well to frequent commercial laundering
- Sewn-in ties for a secure and comfortable fit throughout service
- Plain black works front and back of house without separate uniform stock
- One-size design simplifies ordering and reduces stock management
- Lightweight build keeps staff comfortable over long shifts
This apron suits most catering operations well — restaurants, cafés, pubs, and hotel food service alike. For operations with specific uniform requirements or higher-wear environments such as butchery or heavy prep work, it is worth discussing whether a heavier or more specialist apron would be more appropriate. The team are happy to help if you are equipping a larger brigade and want to get the right balance of practicality and presentation.
£19.64(£23.57 inc VAT)
The Whites Chicago is a short-sleeve chefs jacket in the traditional brigade style, made from an 80% polyester, 20% cotton polycotton mix. It is a practical, everyday workwear piece designed for kitchen environments where comfort and durability through repeated laundering matter more than anything else.
Polycotton is a well-established choice for professional kitchen whites. The polyester content helps the fabric hold its shape and resist shrinkage wash after wash, while the cotton component adds breathability — a relevant consideration when working in a hot kitchen through a long service. Short sleeves suit warmer kitchen environments and can be preferable in certain food-preparation settings where long sleeves present a hygiene or safety concern.
The removable stud buttons are a practical feature worth noting. They allow the jacket to be fully laundered without the complication of fixed buttons, and replacement studs are straightforward to source if any are lost over time. This is a sensible design detail for a garment that will go through a commercial laundry cycle frequently.
- Removable stud buttons simplify laundering and replacement
- Short sleeves suit hot kitchen environments and certain hygiene protocols
- Polycotton blend balances durability with day-to-day comfort
- Traditional unisex cut suitable for mixed brigades
This jacket is well suited to catering operations looking for reliable, cost-effective workwear for their kitchen team. It is available in a range of sizes to suit different builds. If you are kitting out a larger brigade or have specific uniform requirements, it is worth getting in touch to discuss quantities and sizing before ordering.
£10.34(£12.41 inc VAT)
This is a full-length waterproof bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, constructed from PVC nylon and intended for use in commercial kitchen environments where standard fabric aprons would not hold up. It covers the front of the body from chest to below the knee, offering practical protection against water, wet ingredients, and light splashing during food preparation and service.
PVC nylon construction is a sensible choice in areas where staff are regularly working with liquids — fish preparation, butchery, pot washing, dishwash areas, and vegetable prep all place demands on workwear that a cotton or polycotton apron cannot reliably meet. This apron wipes clean quickly, which matters during a busy shift when there is no time to change clothing between tasks.
- Waterproof PVC nylon surface wipes down quickly between tasks
- Full-length coverage suited to wet prep and dishwash environments
- Brass eyelets for durability at the tie points
- Supplied with three separate tie tapes for adjustable fitting
- Lightweight at 400g, comfortable for extended wear during a shift
One practical consideration: PVC aprons are not suitable for use near open flames or high-heat cooking stations. They are best kept to wet areas, cold prep, or pot wash rather than used across a live cooking line. Sizing is generous and the adjustable tapes allow a reasonable range of fit, but operators outfitting larger teams may want to confirm the dimensions suit their staff before ordering in volume.
This apron is well suited to pot wash teams, fish and butchery sections, and any role involving regular contact with water or wet produce. For sites needing a broader range of workwear — including heat-resistant or cut-resistant options — it is worth a conversation with the team to make sure you are equipping staff with the right protection for each area of the kitchen.
£6.95(£8.34 inc VAT)
This is a standard bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made from a polycotton blend in a traditional blue and white check pattern. It is a practical, everyday workwear item intended for use across both kitchen and front-of-house environments where a clean, presentable appearance is expected throughout a shift.
Polycotton fabric is a common choice in commercial catering environments because it balances durability with ease of laundering. The blend holds its shape and colour reasonably well through repeated wash cycles, which matters when aprons are being turned around daily in a busy operation. The check pattern also helps to disguise light soiling between changes, which can be a practical consideration during long service periods.
- Polycotton construction launders well and dries quickly
- Blue and white check suits both kitchen and front-of-house presentation
- Bib style provides good upper-body coverage during service
- Lightweight at 160g, comfortable for extended wear
- Sewn-in ties for a secure, adjustable fit
This apron is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, school catering, and similar operations where staff present to customers or work in open kitchen environments. It is a single-layer apron and is not intended for use near open flame or as protective equipment in high-risk kitchen tasks.
If you are kitting out a larger team and are unsure whether this style or a different weight or colour suits your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£16.86(£20.23 inc VAT)
These black polycotton bib aprons from Whites are a practical everyday workwear staple for kitchen and front-of-house teams. Made from a polycotton blend, they offer a reasonable balance of durability and comfort for staff working through full service periods, while the bib-style coverage helps protect uniforms from the splashes and stains that come with busy kitchen work.
In practice, polycotton aprons of this type are commonly used across a wide range of catering environments — from pub kitchens and café counters to hotel breakfast service and contract catering operations. The fabric holds its shape and colour well through repeated commercial laundering, which matters when you need consistent presentation across a full team. The one-size construction means they can be shared across staff where needed, reducing the need to hold multiple sizes in stock.
- Polycotton fabric resists everyday kitchen splashes and staining
- Bib-style coverage protects uniforms from chest to knee
- One-size design suits a broad range of team members
- Holds colour and shape well through repeated commercial washing
- Supplied in packs of five, suited to team or bulk stocking
There are no particular installation or setup considerations for aprons of this type, though it is worth confirming your laundry process is suitable for polycotton blends to get the best service life. For operations requiring heavier protection — such as butchery, pot wash, or high-heat environments — a heavier-duty or specialist apron may be more appropriate.
These aprons are well suited to general kitchen and hospitality use where a clean, smart appearance matters and straightforward durability is the priority. If you are equipping a larger team or want guidance on which apron style is right for your operation, feel free to have a word with the team.
£16.86(£20.23 inc VAT)
These blue and white striped bib aprons from Whites Chefs Clothing are a straightforward, practical choice for butchery, food preparation, and general kitchen use. Made from a cotton and recycled polyester blend, they offer reliable protection against splashes and surface soiling during day-to-day service, helping to keep staff presentation consistent throughout a shift.
The generous cut provides good coverage across the torso and lap — a practical consideration in preparation environments where contact with wet produce, marinades, or cleaning agents is routine. Long ties allow the apron to be adjusted comfortably across a range of body sizes, which makes them well suited to mixed teams where kit is shared across shifts.
Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Wipe-clean surface helps maintain hygiene standards between tasks
- Durable polycotton construction holds up to repeated commercial laundering
- Blue and white stripe aids visual identification in food preparation areas
- Pack of five supports rotation across a team without frequent restocking
- Recycled polyester content supports sustainable procurement policies
As with any workwear, it is worth considering laundering frequency and rotation requirements when deciding how many packs to order. For sites handling raw meat or heavy soiling, a larger rotation stock is generally advisable.
These aprons are a sensible choice for butchery counters, deli preparation, fish and meat processing, and general kitchen prep. They are not designed as a primary PPE garment for high-heat environments — for cooking-line use, a heavier-duty or heat-resistant option may be more appropriate.
If you are unsure how many aprons suit your team size or shift pattern, the team is happy to help you work it out.
From £14.10(£16.92 inc VAT)
The Whites tabard is a straightforward, practical over-garment designed to protect clothing during kitchen, front-of-house, healthcare and education duties. Made from polycotton, it offers a reasonable balance of durability and comfort for extended wear across a shift, and the one-size cut is intended to fit a broad range of staff without the need to hold multiple sizes.
In a catering or hospitality setting, tabards like this are commonly used by service and cleaning staff rather than kitchen brigade who would typically wear an apron or full whites. The long length provides good coverage of the clothing underneath, which is useful where staff are moving between food preparation areas and front-of-house environments. The large front pocket offers practical storage for order pads, cloths or small tools throughout service.
- Press-stud side fastenings make it quick to put on and remove
- Large front pocket keeps essentials to hand during service
- Long length gives good coverage for clothing protection
- Polycotton construction is straightforward to launder
- One-size design simplifies uniform stock management
As a one-size garment, it is worth confirming fit suitability for your team before ordering in volume, particularly where staff vary significantly in build. It is not designed as heavy-duty kitchen protection — for roles involving significant heat, grease or splash exposure, a heavier apron or full uniform would be more appropriate.
This tabard is well suited to cleaning, hospitality service, healthcare and education catering roles where a lightweight, easy-care over-garment is the practical choice. If you are unsure whether this is the right garment type for a particular role in your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£6.40(£7.68 inc VAT)
This bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing is made from nylon in a blue and white colourway, offering water resistance for kitchen and service environments where staff are regularly exposed to splashes, spills, or wet prep work. It is a straightforward, functional piece of workwear rather than a heavy-duty protective garment, and sits at the lighter end of the apron range.
In a working kitchen, the water-resistant nylon construction means liquid beads off the surface rather than soaking through, helping staff stay comfortable and presentable throughout a shift. The lightweight material also makes it easy to move freely, which matters in busy service periods where staff are constantly in motion. At 100g it adds virtually no bulk.
- Water-resistant nylon surface sheds splashes during prep and service
- Lightweight construction — minimal restriction during movement
- Blue and white colourway suits front-of-house and back-of-house roles
- Easy to wipe down between tasks
- Well suited to high-turnover environments where multiple aprons are rotated
There are no complex fitting or installation considerations with this product, but it is worth noting that nylon aprons of this type are not intended for use near open flame or high-heat environments, and do not offer the same level of protection as heavier cotton or polycotton bib aprons. They are best treated as splash and soil protection rather than a safety garment. For roles involving butchery or heavy wet work, a longer or more robust option may be worth considering.
This apron is well suited to catering assistants, front-of-house staff, and prep roles in café, deli, or light production environments. If your team works in heavier conditions or you need a more substantial garment, we carry other apron styles that may be a closer fit for the role.
If you are equipping a team and want to make sure you are choosing the right garment for the work involved, feel free to get in touch — it is a straightforward conversation and can save time and cost further down the line.
