£3.94(£4.73 inc VAT)
The Whites net peaked hat is a straightforward, lightweight kitchen cap designed for everyday front-of-house and brigade use. Made from 100% nylon, it offers the kind of breathability you'd expect from a net-style hat, making it a practical choice for staff working in warm kitchen environments or during long service periods.
In a busy kitchen, headwear needs to stay comfortable across a full shift without becoming a distraction. The net construction allows airflow around the head, which helps with comfort during extended service. The peaked design keeps the style smart and consistent — useful where a uniform presentation matters to front-of-house or pass staff.
- Lightweight nylon construction for breathability during busy service
- Peaked design suits both kitchen and front-of-house uniform standards
- One size fits most, keeping stock management simple
- Easy to launder and quick to dry between shifts
- White colourway works with most standard brigade uniforms
As a one-size item, it suits most operators looking for a no-fuss, low-cost headwear solution without the need to manage multiple sizes. It is worth noting that one-size-fits-all designs will suit the majority of wearers but may not provide a close fit for everyone — if your team has varied requirements, it is worth ordering a sample before committing to bulk quantities.
This hat is a practical everyday option for smaller brigades, front-of-house teams, or operations looking to keep headwear costs low. If you need chef's toques, skull caps, or more formal brigade headwear, there are alternative styles in the range that may be a closer fit for your uniform policy.
If you're unsure which headwear style best fits your team's needs or uniform requirements, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to help you make the right choice.
£7.04(£8.45 inc VAT)
The Whites Boston short-sleeve chef jacket is a straightforward, practical workwear choice for kitchen brigades where comfort during service is a priority. Made from an 80/20 polyester-cotton lite twill blend, it sits at the lighter end of the polycotton spectrum, which suits kitchens where staff are working in close proximity to heat sources for extended periods.
The short-sleeve cut encourages airflow around the arms and helps keep wearers cooler during busy service periods — a practical consideration in high-output kitchens where temperatures can climb quickly. The double-breasted front provides the conventional layer of protection against splashes and minor heat exposure that professional jackets are expected to offer.
From an operational standpoint, the polycotton construction holds up well to the regular commercial laundering cycle that most sites run. It resists the pilling and distortion that 100% cotton can develop over time, and it dries quickly, which matters when you need a clean jacket ready for a second shift.
- Short-sleeve design supports comfort through long, hot service periods
- Double-breasted front offers standard splash and heat protection
- Polycotton construction withstands repeated commercial washing
- Unisex fit available across a full range of sizes from XS to 2XL
- Lightweight twill fabric suitable for high-temperature kitchen environments
This jacket is well suited to casual dining kitchens, cafés, contract catering sites, and back-of-house operations where a clean, functional uniform is required without a significant per-head spend. For sites that require a heavier-duty or more structured garment — or where front-of-house presentation is a factor — it is worth considering a longer-sleeve or heavier-weight option from the broader range.
If you are kitting out a team and are unsure about sizing across a mixed brigade, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through what tends to work in practice.
£12.78(£15.34 inc VAT)
The Whites XL bib apron is a straightforward, well-made workwear apron intended for catering and hospitality environments. Cut generously in black polycotton, it covers the front of the body effectively and is designed to be worn through a full service shift without becoming uncomfortable.
Polycotton is a practical fabric choice for commercial kitchens and front-of-house settings alike. It holds its shape after repeated laundering, resists light splashes and food soiling reasonably well, and dries quickly — which matters when aprons are going through a commercial washing machine multiple times a week. It is not waterproof, so for heavy kitchen work involving continuous liquid contact, a heavier PVC or rubberised apron may be more appropriate.
The XL sizing reflects the overall cut and generous dimensions rather than requiring a specific body size. The extra-long waist ties give a practical range of adjustment, which is useful when a uniform budget needs to cover staff of varying builds without ordering multiple sizes.
- Polycotton construction holds shape through regular commercial laundering
- Extra-long waist ties accommodate a wide range of staff sizes
- Lightweight enough for extended front-of-house wear during service
- Suitable for commercial washing, supporting a straightforward laundry rotation
- Available for personalisation with names or logos if required
This apron suits front-of-house, bar, and light kitchen roles well. For high-intensity kitchen positions where protection from heat, heavy splashing, or oils is a priority, it is worth considering a more specialist apron. If you are kitting out a full team and want to check what works across different roles, the team is happy to help you choose the right option.
£3.45(£4.14 inc VAT)
The Whites Baseball Cap is a straightforward, lightweight headwear option designed for use in catering and hospitality environments. Made from a polycotton blend, it provides a practical alternative to traditional chef toques or skull caps, and is commonly used by front-of-house teams, kitchen porters, counter service staff, and prep kitchen workers.
In a busy kitchen or service environment, comfort over a long shift matters. The polycotton construction keeps the cap light on the head, and the adjustable backstrap means one size works reliably across a team without the need to order multiple fittings. It sits close enough to keep hair contained without the bulk of heavier headwear.
- Lightweight polycotton fabric suitable for warm kitchen environments
- Adjustable backstrap for a consistent fit across different head sizes
- Easy to launder and quick to dry between shifts
- A practical option where branded or casual-style headwear is preferred
- Available in black, suitable for both back-of-house and front-of-house use
There are no complex fitting or installation considerations here — this is a pull-on, adjust-and-go item. It is worth noting that it is not a food-safe hairnet replacement in environments where regulations require full hair containment; for those situations, a skull cap or disposable option may be more appropriate.
This cap suits hospitality operators who want a clean, consistent look across floor or counter staff, or kitchens where a relaxed headwear policy allows baseball-style caps. It is particularly practical for counter and café environments where a toque would be impractical or out of place.
If you are kitting out a full team and want to discuss quantity options or alternative headwear styles for different roles, the team is happy to help you work out what suits your operation best.
£13.83(£16.60 inc VAT)
This navy blue tabard from Whites Chefs Clothing is a straightforward, practical garment designed to protect staff uniforms in catering and hospitality environments. Constructed from a polycotton blend, it offers a balance of durability and ease of care that suits the demands of a busy working day.
The polycotton fabric is well suited to regular commercial laundering, holding its shape and colour through repeated wash cycles without the care requirements of pure cotton alternatives. It is a commonly used choice for front-of-house support staff, café and canteen teams, and kitchen assistants where a lightweight over-garment is preferred to a full apron.
- Large front pocket for order pads, cloths, or small tools
- Adjustable popper side fastenings for a practical, adaptable fit
- Polycotton construction for durability and easy-care laundering
- Protects staff uniforms during food preparation and service
There are no particular installation or setup considerations for this garment. It is a stock item suitable for most adult sizes, though operators outfitting a larger team or requiring specific fit adjustments should check sizing carefully before ordering in bulk.
This tabard is well suited to catering assistants, counter staff, and support roles where a clean, smart appearance and basic uniform protection are the priority. If your team requires heavier-duty protection — such as a full bib apron for kitchen line work — there are alternative styles in the range worth considering.
If you are kitting out a larger team or unsure which garment suits your specific roles, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£7.04(£8.45 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward, lightweight bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made from nylon and designed to offer basic water resistance during everyday kitchen and service tasks. It covers the front of the body from chest to lower shin level, providing a practical layer of protection against splashes, light spills, and general moisture encountered during a shift.
At 90g it is noticeably lightweight, which makes it comfortable to wear for extended periods — useful in environments where staff are on their feet throughout a long service. The water-resistant nylon construction means surface liquid beads off rather than soaking through, keeping uniforms cleaner underneath. It is not designed for heavy-duty tasks such as butchery or pot washing where full waterproof protection is needed, but for general kitchen prep, bar work, or front-of-house food service it performs reliably in its class.
- Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear during service
- Water-resistant surface handles everyday splashes and light spills
- Generous length provides good front coverage during prep and service
- Easy to wipe down between tasks, supporting basic hygiene standards
- Suitable for kitchen, bar, and counter service environments
Because this is a light-duty apron, operators with staff working in wetter or more demanding conditions — pot wash, fish preparation, or heavy wet production work — would be better served by a heavier-duty waterproof bib or a PVC-coated alternative. For general service and prep roles, however, this apron is a practical, cost-effective choice.
If you are equipping a team and are unsure whether this weight of apron suits your operation, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£7.89(£9.47 inc VAT)
This black chefs bandana from Whites Chefs Clothing is a practical head covering designed for use in busy commercial kitchens. Made from a polycotton blend, it is lightweight and hardwearing enough to hold up to daily laundering and the heat and steam typical of a working kitchen environment.
The bandana incorporates moisture-wicking panels that draw sweat away from the skin during service. This is particularly useful in high-heat kitchen sections — larder, pastry, or hot line — where head coverings can become uncomfortable quickly and where any moisture falling into food presents a hygiene concern. The adjustable ties allow a secure, comfortable fit across different head sizes without the need for multiple sizing options.
- Moisture-wicking panels help keep heads dry during hot service periods
- Adjustable ties for a secure fit across a range of head sizes
- Polycotton construction holds its shape through repeated washing
- Lightweight at 30g — suitable for extended wear throughout a full shift
- Black colourway suits standard kitchen uniform requirements
As a one-size item it suits most kitchen teams without the need to manage multiple stock sizes, though kitchens with very specific uniform standards may want to confirm the fit suits their requirements before ordering in volume.
If you have questions about uniform quantities, mix-and-match options across the Whites range, or suitability for a particular team, the team is happy to help.
From £7.43(£8.92 inc VAT)
The Whites Short Bistro Apron is a straightforward front of house waist apron made from polycotton fabric. It sits at a shorter length than a traditional full bistro apron, which reduces the risk of excess fabric catching underfoot during busy service — a practical consideration in tight restaurant or café floor environments where staff are moving quickly between tables.
The apron includes a patch pocket on the front, useful for carrying a notepad, pen, or small service items without the need for additional pouvenirs or belt pouches. The polycotton construction offers a reasonable balance of durability and comfort for extended wearing across a full shift, and the fabric is suitable for commercial laundering, which matters in operations where a consistent, clean presentation is expected day to day.
It suits front of house roles in restaurants, cafés, bistros, and bar environments where a practical, tidy appearance is needed without the bulk of a longer apron. For kitchen roles or heavier food preparation environments where additional coverage is required, a longer or heavier-duty apron would be more appropriate.
If you are outfitting a team and are unsure about quantities, sizes, or whether this style fits your front of house requirements, we are happy to help you work through it.
£4.04(£4.85 inc VAT)
The Whites Polycotton Bib Apron in charcoal is a straightforward, hardwearing workwear apron intended for everyday use in commercial catering environments. Made from a polycotton blend, it offers a reasonable balance between durability and ease of laundering — polycotton holds its shape and colour better through repeated commercial washing than pure cotton, and dries more quickly.
In practice, this is the type of apron that suits both kitchen and front-of-house teams. The charcoal colour is practical for service — it presents a tidy, professional appearance while being forgiving of light marks during a busy shift. The sewn-in ties remove the need for separate fastening and add a degree of durability at the waist that clip or hook fastenings don't always provide.
- Polycotton construction handles regular commercial laundering reliably
- Charcoal colour suits both kitchen and customer-facing roles
- Sewn-in ties for secure, consistent fit during service
- Lightweight enough for full-shift wear without discomfort
- Suitable for general food preparation and front-of-house use
This is a general-purpose bib apron and is not intended as heavy protective workwear — it won't offer the same coverage or resistance as a heavier canvas or PVC alternative. If your team works in a particularly high-splash or high-heat environment, a more robust apron may be more appropriate.
If you're kitting out a full front-of-house team or a kitchen brigade and want to talk through colour options or quantities, we're happy to help.
£6.74(£8.09 inc VAT)
The Whites blue stripe butcher's apron is a straightforward, practical piece of workwear designed for daily use in commercial kitchens, butchery counters, and food preparation environments. Cut to a generous length with a classic bib-front design, it provides reliable front-body coverage during both cooking and prep work. The blue stripe pattern is a traditional choice that sits equally well in front-of-house service settings and back-of-house preparation areas.
Made from polycotton, the apron balances durability with ease of laundering — an important consideration in kitchens where workwear goes through frequent washing cycles. The fabric holds its shape and colour over repeated washes better than pure cotton alternatives, and the weight is light enough to remain comfortable across a full shift.
For kitchen operations, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Long coverage helps protect chef's whites and clothing during prep and service
- Polycotton construction launders well and dries quickly
- Adjustable long ties allow a comfortable fit across different body shapes
- Unisex cut suits mixed kitchen teams without separate sizing ranges
- Blue stripe pattern works across butchery, prep, and front-counter environments
This apron is well suited to smaller kitchen teams, front-counter staff, or as everyday prep aprons in a larger brigade. It is a sensible choice where workwear budgets need to stretch across multiple covers. For sites requiring heavier-duty protection — such as high-volume meat processing or environments with significant liquid splash — a heavier apron with reinforced construction may be worth considering.
If you are kitting out a team and want to discuss volume pricing or suitability for your specific operation, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£4.69(£5.63 inc VAT)
The Whites red neckerchief is a straightforward piece of kitchen neckwear made from a polycotton blend. It is designed to be worn as part of a chef or kitchen brigade uniform, providing a practical finishing layer that also helps manage perspiration during service.
In a busy kitchen environment, neckwear takes a regular beating from heat, sweat, and repeated washing. The polycotton construction here offers a reasonable balance between comfort and durability, and the fabric is rated suitable for commercial laundering — meaning it can go through an industrial washer alongside other whites and uniform items without losing its shape or colour quickly.
- Polycotton blend for comfort and durability under kitchen conditions
- Rated suitable for commercial laundering
- Standard red colourway for uniform colour-coding or front-of-house presentation
- Lightweight at 60g — practical for long service periods
This neckerchief is well suited to kitchens that operate a colour-coded uniform policy, or where a consistent, presentable appearance is expected front-of-house. It is a standard size that fits most adults comfortably. For operations needing bulk uniform supplies or alternative colourways, it is worth checking the wider Whites range to ensure consistency across the team.
If you are putting together a full brigade uniform order and want to make sure sizing, colour, and quantities work across your team, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help work through the details.
£7.04(£8.45 inc VAT)
The Whites navy stripe butchers apron is a straightforward, full-length apron designed for back-of-house use in commercial kitchens, butchery counters, and food preparation environments. The classic navy and white stripe colourway gives it a presentable, professional appearance without being overly formal, and the generously sized front pocket provides practical storage for a thermometer, cloth, order pad, or other service essentials.
Made from a polycotton blend, the apron holds up well to the day-to-day demands of a working kitchen. Polycotton is a practical choice for this kind of garment — it resists creasing better than pure cotton, tolerates frequent washing at commercial laundry temperatures, and dries quickly between shifts. At a weight suited to regular rotation, it sits comfortably across a full-length workday without becoming uncomfortable to wear.
- Front patch pocket for service essentials close to hand
- Navy stripe colourway keeps a presentable appearance through heavy use
- Polycotton construction tolerates frequent commercial machine washing
- Full coverage length suitable for butchery, prep, and general kitchen use
- Lightweight enough for all-day wear during service
This is a standard single-apron purchase, so sites with high staff turnover or large brigades should factor in ordering sufficient stock to allow for laundry rotation. It is well suited to smaller independent kitchens, cafés, delis, and butchery counters where a smart, functional apron is needed without the requirement for specialist PPE or heavier-duty protective garments. For environments involving significant heat, open flame, or chemical exposure, a more specialist garment would be more appropriate.
If you're equipping a full team and want to discuss quantities, sizing, or alternative styles, our team is happy to help you find the right fit for your operation.
£3.48(£4.18 inc VAT)
The Whites Baseball Cap is a lightweight, practical head covering designed for chefs, kitchen porters, and front-of-house staff who need something simple, comfortable, and presentable during service. Made from cotton fabric in a neutral charcoal colourway, it sits comfortably within most uniform schemes without drawing attention.
The cap features an adjustable strap at the back, which means it fits a wide range of head sizes without the need to stock multiple sizes. The peak provides a degree of shade, which is particularly useful for outdoor service areas, festivals, market stalls, or any operation with exposure to natural light.
From a practical standpoint, it covers a few common operational needs neatly:
- Keeps hair contained and meets basic food hygiene expectations
- Adjustable strap suits most staff without individual sizing
- Charcoal colour resists visible soiling better than white alternatives
- Lightweight construction suits warm kitchen environments
- Suitable for both kitchen and front-of-house use
As a one-size-fits-most item, it works well as a low-cost uniform accessory for larger teams where managing individual hat sizes would be impractical. It is worth noting this is a casual cap style rather than a traditional chef's skull cap or toque, so its suitability depends on your venue's uniform standard and any applicable food safety policy.
If you're unsure whether this style meets your specific hygiene or uniform requirements, the team is happy to help you find the right option.
£31.50(£37.80 inc VAT)
The Whites Men's Hygiene Coat is a practical workwear garment designed specifically for food production, processing, and catering environments where hygiene compliance is a requirement rather than a preference. Unlike a standard chef's jacket, this coat is constructed without external pockets — a deliberate design choice that eliminates a common source of contamination risk and satisfies the requirements of many food safety and HACCP-based hygiene policies.
Made from a polycotton blend, the coat offers a balance of durability and comfort for staff working long shifts. The fabric is practical to launder and holds its shape well through regular commercial washing cycles, which matters in environments where workwear is turned around frequently.
Key practical points worth noting:
- No external pockets — reduces contamination risk and supports hygiene compliance
- Polycotton construction — durable and straightforward to maintain through commercial laundering
- Clean, uncluttered design — appropriate for food production, processing lines, and regulated catering environments
This coat is best suited to food manufacturing, food processing facilities, and catering operations where hygiene codes require staff clothing to meet specific standards. It is commonly specified by sites working to BRC, SALSA, or similar food safety frameworks, where pocket-free outerwear is a documented requirement.
If you are unsure whether this coat meets the specific requirements of your site's hygiene policy, or if you need garments for a larger team across multiple roles, it is worth having a conversation with us before placing your order.
£12.69(£15.23 inc VAT)
This is a full-length bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made in a classic navy and white stripe polycotton fabric. It is designed for butchers, kitchen porters, prep cooks, and counter staff who need reliable, all-day protection without the bulk of a heavier garment.
The polycotton construction strikes a practical balance between durability and ease of care. It holds up well through repeated commercial laundering, resists general kitchen soiling, and dries relatively quickly — useful in operations where aprons are turned around between shifts. The generous cut provides good front coverage across the chest and body, which suits taller or broader wearers comfortably.
- Navy stripe pattern keeps a presentable appearance through a full service shift
- Polycotton fabric tolerates frequent washing without significant shrinkage or fading
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during long prep or counter shifts
- Full bib coverage protects clothing from splashes, stains, and general kitchen soiling
- Suitable for front-of-house counters as well as back-of-house prep environments
This apron is well suited to butchery counters, food prep stations, and kitchen environments where a consistent, smart appearance matters alongside practical protection. It is an extra large cut, so it works best for taller or broader individuals — those of a standard build may find a smaller size a better fit.
If you are equipping a full team and are unsure about sizing or quantities, we are happy to help you work through the options before you order.
£6.85(£8.22 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward, hardwearing bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made from a polycotton blend in a plain navy blue. It covers the chest and lower body, fastening with sewn-in ties at the waist. Navy is a practical choice for busy kitchens — it presents well front of house while concealing the kind of light marks that accumulate during a normal service.
Polycotton strikes a reasonable balance between durability and comfort during long shifts. It holds its shape through repeated commercial laundering better than pure cotton, and the blend dries more quickly, which matters when aprons are turned around between services. The sewn-in ties avoid the need to keep track of separate components and hold securely without loosening mid-service.
- Plain navy colour suitable for both kitchen and front-of-house use
- Polycotton construction withstands regular commercial washing cycles
- Sewn-in ties for a secure, consistent fit
- Practical length providing good coverage during food preparation
At this price point, it's worth stocking multiples to maintain a rotation through the wash. For environments where heavier splash protection is needed, a longer or rubberised apron may be more appropriate. This apron is best suited to general kitchen prep work, service staff, or light food handling roles rather than heavy wet work or butchery.
If you're kitting out a full team and want to talk through quantities or whether a different style would suit your operation better, we're happy to help.
From £6.74(£8.09 inc VAT)
The Whites Atlanta chef jacket is a practical, everyday brigade garment made from a polycotton fabric with a Teflon protective coating. The coating helps repel liquids and resist staining, which extends the usable life of the jacket and reduces the effort required to keep whites looking presentable during and after service.
The three-quarter sleeve design offers a practical compromise between arm protection and ventilation, a reasonable consideration in kitchen environments where heat builds quickly during a busy service. The press stud fastening runs the full length of the front placket, providing a secure and neat finish that can be undone quickly when needed.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the polycotton construction holds its shape well through regular commercial laundering, and the Teflon layer helps surface soiling rinse away more readily than untreated fabrics. Key practical points include:
- Teflon coating repels liquids and eases stain removal at laundry
- Three-quarter sleeves aid airflow during high-temperature service periods
- Press stud fastening allows quick removal between sections or at end of service
- Polycotton construction tolerates frequent commercial washing cycles
- Unisex cut suits mixed brigades
This jacket is well suited to front-line kitchen roles in restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and similar environments where a clean, professional appearance is expected. It is a reliable standard-grade option rather than a heavy-duty specialist garment, so kitchens with particularly demanding conditions may want to consider a more robust alternative.
Please select your size from the drop-down menu. If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure which garments best suit your kitchen's workload, the 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 tan. It covers the chest and lower body in the standard bib style, with sewn-in ties to keep it securely in place during a shift.
Polycotton is a practical choice for catering environments. It holds its shape through repeated laundering better than pure cotton, dries more quickly, and resists creasing to a reasonable degree — useful where presentation matters front of house as well as in the kitchen. The tan colourway is a common choice for front-of-house and bistro settings where a slightly softer, less clinical look is preferred over white.
- Sewn-in ties for a secure, consistent fit throughout service
- Polycotton construction balances durability with ease of laundering
- Suitable for both kitchen and front-of-house use
- Tan finish works well in casual dining and café environments
At 190g, this is a lightweight apron well suited to warmer kitchen environments or long shifts where a heavier canvas apron would become uncomfortable. It is not designed for heavy-duty protection against splashes or heat — operators working around fryers or exposed to significant moisture during service may want to consider a heavier or rubberised alternative.
This apron suits cafés, bistros, front-of-house teams, and lighter kitchen roles where a clean, presentable appearance is needed without the bulk of a heavier apron. If your team works in more demanding back-of-house conditions, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty option would serve better.
If you are kitting out a team and want guidance on apron weights or styles for different roles, we are happy to help.
£13.06(£15.67 inc VAT)
The Whites Regular Bistro Apron is a polycotton waist apron designed for front-of-house and kitchen staff who need practical, comfortable workwear during service. Its shorter cut sits at waist height, keeping the length clear of footwear and reducing the risk of excess fabric causing trips in a busy working environment.
The polycotton construction strikes a reasonable balance between durability and breathability. It holds up well to regular commercial laundering, which matters in any operation where aprons are turned around daily, and the lightweight fabric helps staff stay comfortable during long shifts in warm environments.
From a practical standpoint, this apron suits a wide range of roles:
- Front-of-house and bar staff who need a clean, presentable appearance
- Kitchen porters and prep staff who want protection without a full bib apron
- Cafe and bistro teams where freedom of movement is a priority
- Any operation running a consistent uniform across floor staff
A front patch pocket provides easy access to pens, order pads, and small tools without requiring staff to leave their station. The apron is available in charcoal and olive, which suits operations looking for a more contemporary uniform aesthetic without bold branding.
This is a straightforward, well-made waist apron suited to lighter-duty FOH and prep roles. For heavy kitchen work involving oil, heat exposure, or regular contact with sharp tools, a heavier bib apron or specialist protective garment would be more appropriate. If you are kitting out a larger team and want to discuss sizing, colours, or volume options, the team is happy to help.
£6.58(£7.90 inc VAT)
These waiting gloves from Whites Chefs Clothing are a straightforward front-of-house accessory, made from 100% cotton and cut to a fitted shape. They are commonly used in formal dining settings, banqueting operations, and hotels where a clean, white-gloved presentation is expected of floor staff.
Cotton is the standard choice for this type of glove — it sits neatly on the hand, remains breathable during service, and presents well under dining room lighting. The fitted cut avoids the bunched appearance that can come with looser alternatives, which matters in settings where appearance is part of the guest experience.
Practical points worth noting:
- 100% cotton construction — breathable and comfortable during extended service periods
- Fitted cut for a neat, professional front-of-house appearance
- Lightweight at 70g — unobtrusive to wear through a full service
- Available in M and L — size selection at checkout
- Suitable for formal dining, banqueting, and hospitality events
These are not heat-resistant or protective gloves in any safety sense — they are presentation gloves for front-of-house use only. For kitchen or oven glove requirements, a different product category would apply.
If you are kitting out a large banqueting team or need advice on quantities, feel free to get in touch and we can help.
£5.16(£6.19 inc VAT)
The Whites Peaked Hat is a straightforward, practical piece of catering headwear designed to keep hair securely contained during service. Made from a lightweight polycotton blend, it offers a degree of breathability that makes it more comfortable to wear through a full shift in a warm kitchen environment compared with heavier woven alternatives.
The snug, close fit helps reduce the risk of hair contamination by keeping hair tucked in reliably — an important consideration in any food-safe environment where hygiene standards are enforced. The peak provides a modest degree of shade and gives the hat a smarter, more finished appearance than a standard skull cap or disposable covering, making it equally suitable for front-of-house roles and kitchen stations.
- Lightweight polycotton construction supports ventilation during busy service
- Close fit helps contain hair and supports food hygiene compliance
- Unisex design suits mixed front- and back-of-house teams
- One size fits most adults, keeping stock management simple
- Easy to launder and quick to dry between shifts
As a one-size design, it suits most adults comfortably, which simplifies uniform ordering for larger teams. Being polycotton rather than full polyester, it launders well and retains its shape through repeated washing — a practical advantage when headwear is being turned around daily.
If you are equipping a large team or would like guidance on Whites' broader headwear range, our team is happy to help you find the right fit for your operation.
£5.58(£6.70 inc VAT)
This is a standard bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made from a polycotton blend and finished in plain white. It covers the front of the body from chest to below the knee and ties at the waist with long straps that accommodate a range of sizes without adjustment.
Polycotton is a practical choice for kitchen workwear. It holds its shape and colour through repeated commercial laundering better than pure cotton, and dries more quickly, which matters when aprons are being turned around between shifts. The white finish keeps presentation clean and consistent across a kitchen team, and makes soiling easy to spot — useful where hygiene standards are being actively managed.
- Polycotton construction handles repeated commercial washing without significant shrinkage
- Long waist ties provide a secure, adjustable fit across different body sizes
- Plain white finish supports a consistent, professional kitchen appearance
- Lightweight at 180g, reducing fatigue during long service periods
- No embellishment or branding — suitable where a plain uniform is required
There are no installation requirements. These aprons are bought in multiples for most kitchens — the right quantity depends on shift patterns, laundry frequency, and team size. For high-turnover environments or sites without on-site laundry, carrying additional stock is worth considering.
Well suited to back-of-house kitchen staff, prep teams, and general food service roles where a practical, washable apron is needed rather than a specialist garment. For front-of-house or branded uniform requirements, other styles and colours may be more appropriate.
If you're working out the right quantities or building out a uniform order, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Whites unisex lab coat is a plain, practical workwear garment in traditional white, made from a polycotton blend. It follows a straightforward, full-length coat style commonly associated with food production, hygiene-sensitive kitchen environments, and catering preparation areas where a clean, professional appearance is required.
Polycotton construction keeps the coat relatively lightweight while offering reasonable durability through repeated commercial laundering — a practical consideration in any setting where garments are washed frequently. The fabric weight sits at a level that works well for general food handling and preparation roles rather than heavy kitchen work where heat and steam resistance would take priority.
- Polycotton fabric handles frequent commercial washing reliably
- Unisex cut suits a wide range of team members
- White finish supports visibility of contamination in food-safe environments
- Practical for food production, prep, and hygiene-conscious roles
- Available in a range of sizes to suit most wearers
This coat is best suited to food production facilities, catering prep kitchens, hygiene-sensitive environments, and back-of-house roles where a clean, professional appearance matters but heavy culinary work is not the primary task. It is not designed to replace a chef's jacket in a hot, fast-paced cooking environment.
If you are outfitting a team across different roles or need guidance on the most appropriate garment for a specific function, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£8.16(£9.79 inc VAT)
The Whites Bakers Cap is a straightforward, practical head covering designed for use in bakery and food production environments. Made from polycotton, it sits in the lighter end of kitchen headwear and is intended to keep hair contained and heads reasonably cool during a working shift.
Polycotton construction strikes a balance between breathability and durability, holding its shape through regular laundering — a practical consideration in any kitchen where workwear is washed frequently. The unisex, one-size design keeps stock management simple for operators outfitting a team.
- Lightweight polycotton fabric suitable for warm kitchen environments
- Unisex fit simplifies bulk purchasing for catering teams
- One-size construction reduces the need to hold multiple stock sizes
- White colour meets common food hygiene dress code requirements
- Suitable for regular commercial laundering
This style is well suited to bakeries, food production kitchens, and catering operations where a simple, compliant bakers cap is required. It is a practical everyday option rather than a heavy-duty or specialist piece. If you have specific dress code requirements or are outfitting a larger team, it is worth getting in touch to make sure you are ordering the right style and quantity.
£6.95(£8.34 inc VAT)
This is a standard bib apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made from a polycotton blend in a classic black and white check pattern. It covers the front of the body from chest to below the knee and is finished with sewn-in ties that fasten at the waist. The check pattern is a long-established choice in professional kitchens and front-of-house settings alike.
Polycotton is a practical choice for catering workwear. It resists wrinkling better than pure cotton, dries more quickly after washing, and holds its shape well through repeated laundering — all of which matters when aprons are being cycled through a commercial wash daily. The fabric is hardwearing enough for busy service periods without being overly heavy or restrictive to wear.
The sewn-in ties are a detail worth noting. Unlike separate tie fastenings, they are less likely to come loose or go missing during service, which keeps things consistent across a team.
- Practical for both kitchen and front-of-house roles
- Polycotton blend launders well and dries quickly
- Sewn-in ties stay secure throughout service
- Check pattern suits both casual and smart-casual dining environments
This apron suits cafés, bistros, pub kitchens, and casual dining operations where a smart but unfussy look is appropriate. It is a single-size apron, so it is worth checking the dimensions listed in the specifications before ordering for staff with smaller or larger builds.
If you are kitting out a larger team or are unsure which apron style fits your front-of-house look, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
From £13.00(£15.60 inc VAT)
The Whites Vegas trouser is a straightforward, practical workwear choice for kitchen brigades. Made from a polycotton fabric blend, they balance durability with day-to-day wearability, making them a sensible option for kitchens that need reliable, cost-effective uniform across a full team.
Polycotton holds up well under the demands of a working kitchen environment. The fabric resists the minor rips and snags that come with an active service, and it tolerates commercial laundering without significant deterioration over time — a practical consideration when you're turning uniform through a laundry cycle several times a week. The black colourway is a deliberate choice for kitchen use; it doesn't show the light staining and discolouration that builds up across a shift the way lighter colours do, which helps staff maintain a presentable appearance throughout service.
- Polycotton construction suitable for commercial laundering
- Black finish reduces visible staining during service
- Unisex cut available across a wide size range
- Breathable fabric helps with comfort during busy shifts
These are an everyday workhorse trouser rather than a premium chef uniform piece. They suit kitchens where practicality and value take priority — catering operations, contract kitchens, or any site kitting out a larger team on a controlled budget. If your operation requires a more structured or flame-resistant garment, it's worth looking at heavier-duty options within the range.
If you're unsure about sizing for your team or need to discuss uniform quantities, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to help you work through it.
From £3.19(£3.83 inc VAT)
The Whites polycotton skull cap is a straightforward, close-fitting kitchen headwear option designed to keep hair securely contained during service. Made from a polycotton blend, it sits comfortably under a toque or can be worn on its own where a lower-profile option is preferred. The black colourway is practical for kitchen use, showing less soiling between washes than white alternatives.
Polycotton construction balances comfort with durability, and it holds its shape through repeated commercial laundering, which matters in any operation running a uniform rotation. The fabric is lightweight enough to wear comfortably through long shifts without becoming restrictive.
- Suitable for commercial laundering, supporting a proper uniform rotation
- Close-fitting design keeps hair contained throughout service
- Lightweight polycotton fabric suitable for extended wear
- Black colourway practical for busy kitchen environments
This is a standard skull cap suited to most kitchen roles, from prep through to service. It works well as part of a uniform programme where staff require consistent, low-cost headwear that can be laundered on-site or via a commercial laundry service.
Supplier size measurements: S 559mm, M 584mm, L 610mm, XL 635mm.
Sizes: S, M, L and XL. If you are sourcing headwear across a larger team, it is worth getting in touch to discuss what is available.
£6.38(£7.66 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward waist-length apron from Whites Chefs Clothing, made from a polycotton blend in black with a single front pocket and sewn-in ties. It sits at a practical mid-length and is designed for front-of-house use across restaurants, bars, cafés, and similar service environments.
Polycotton is a well-established choice for catering aprons because it balances durability with ease of laundering. The fabric resists the everyday wear of a busy service shift and holds its shape reasonably well through repeated commercial wash cycles, making it a practical option for sites that launder workwear in-house or through a linen service.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are straightforward:
- Front pocket keeps order pads, pens, and a bottle opener to hand during service
- Sewn-in ties provide a secure, consistent fit without loose ends
- Black colourway is practical for front-of-house where marks are less visible during service
- Polycotton construction is suitable for commercial laundering
- Lightweight enough for all-day wear without discomfort
This apron is best suited to front-of-house staff in restaurants, bistros, bars, and cafés where a clean, consistent look is required without the need for a full bib apron. It is not designed for heavy kitchen duties or direct contact with open flames or significant heat. For kitchen-side use, a heavier bib apron would be more appropriate.
If you are kitting out a team and are unsure whether this style suits your front-of-house setup, we are happy to help you think it through.
£22.56(£27.07 inc VAT)
Durable protective shirt.
Available in sizes M, L and XL. Select your size from the drop-down menu.
Size guide, chest in inches (centimetres): M 40 to 42 (102 to 107), L 44 to 46 (112 to 117), XL 48 to 50 (122 to 127).
£6.01(£7.21 inc VAT)
The Whites baseball cap is a lightweight, adjustable headwear option made from a polycotton blend. It offers a practical alternative to traditional chef toques or skull caps, and is commonly used in kitchen environments where a relaxed, casual uniform style is in place, or in front-of-house and counter service settings where staff still need to comply with hair covering requirements.
The polycotton construction keeps the cap relatively breathable during service, which matters in warmer kitchen conditions. The adjustable backstrap means a single size can be shared across a team without needing to stock multiple fits, which simplifies uniform management for busy operators.
- Lightweight polycotton fabric suited to warm kitchen environments
- Adjustable backstrap for a practical one-size fit across most head sizes
- White colourway consistent with traditional kitchen uniform standards
- Easy to launder as part of a regular uniform cycle
- Suitable for both kitchen and front-of-house use
As a simple, low-cost uniform item it suits smaller operations, pop-ups, and casual dining or café environments where a formal toque isn't appropriate. For operations requiring more structured or formal headwear, or where specific hygiene standards dictate a different cap style, it's worth considering alternatives within the Whites range.
If you're unsure which headwear works best for your team's uniform requirements, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
