Why the Right Table Linen Matters

  • First impression & guest perception: A crisp tablecloth and well-presented napkin instantly convey quality and care.
  • Durability & cost control: Hospitality-grade fabrics (cotton and polyester) withstand frequent laundering, reduce replacements and lower cost-per-cover.
  • Flexibility by venue type: From high-turn cafés to fine-dining restaurants or event hire, choosing the right napkins and tablecloths gives you the right tool.
  • Bulk & trade accessibility: Multi-packs, trade accounts and next-day UK delivery mean your procurement process is streamlined and responsive.

What to Choose – Material & Specification Guide

Napkins – Paper, Cotton & Polyester Options

  • Paper napkins: Ideal for high-turnover service, outdoor dining, casual pubs or events; look for strong absorbency and cost-efficient packaging.
  • Cotton napkins: Premium guest-facing choice — soft, reusable, washable and long-lasting — perfect for hotels, restaurants and banqueting.
  • Polyester napkins: Durable, fade-resistant and easy care — good for high-traffic, themed events or large-scale reuse.

Tablecloths – Cotton & Polyester Fabric Options

  • Cotton tablecloths: Elegant, comfortable and ideal for upscale dining. Choose dense weave and commercial-wash compatible finish.
  • Polyester tablecloths: Hard-wearing, easy-care and typically lower cost — suitable for event hire, pubs, self-catering dining rooms or budget-conscious venues.
  • Sizing & fit: Ensure drop length (edge to floor) suits your table size (rectangular, round, banquet), and choose fabrics that hang well and maintain guest comfort.

Should I use paper napkins or fabric napkins for my restaurant?


It depends on the guest experience and turnover. For quick service cafés or outdoor dining, paper napkins are convenient and low cost. For full-service restaurants or events, cotton or polyester fabric napkins give a more premium feel and allow reuse, ultimately reducing long-term cost.

What material tablecloth is best for high-turnover dining rooms?


For high volume use, polyester tablecloths are the practical choice: durable, easy to clean and cost-effective. If your venue emphasises premium guest comfort and aesthetic, cotton tablecloths are the step up — provided your laundry regime supports them.

What size drop should a tablecloth have for banquet tables?


Measure the table width, length and height, and add enough drop (20-30 cm typical) for visual finish and guest comfort. For events or formal dining you may choose a full-leg or floor-length drop.

Can I buy bulk packs and trade-pricing for napkins & tablecloths?


Yes — we offer trade account pricing, bulk-pack options and multi-unit deals tailored for hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, pubs, holiday-lets and cafés. Contact our trade team for quotes and lead-times.

How do I care for cotton tablecloths and napkins?


Choose items rated for commercial laundry; follow temperature guidelines, use suitable detergents and avoid over-drying. If choosing coloured fabrics, check for colour fastness. With good care, your table linen will last longer and reduce replacements.
