Expert Review and Insights
The move away from plastic has been a huge topic in the pub trade, and finding a reliable paper alternative is key. These Beaumont straws hit the mark. They feel more substantial than many budget options and the solid black colour looks very sharp in a glass. They're a solid, dependable choice for any high-volume establishment that wants to maintain standards while going green.

- Top-Tier Aesthetics: The deep black colour looks far more professional than plain white or striped straws.
- Not for Thick Shakes: The 6mm bore is an all-rounder but isn't suitable for very thick milkshakes.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pilchard Press, a popular seaside pub in Polperro, Cornwall, wanted to eliminate their last remaining single-use plastics to align with their local, eco-conscious branding. They switched from their old plastic straws to the Beaumont black paper straws.
"We were worried about paper straws going soggy, but these are brilliant. They last the course, and our customers have actually commented on how much smarter they look. It’s a small change that has had a genuinely positive impact on how people see us."
Ben Carter – General Manager
The switch contributed to a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the pub's environmental efforts and attention to detail.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Store the carton in a cool, dry place away from moisture to maintain straw integrity.
- Use a clean, dedicated straw dispenser on your bar top for hygienic and easy access.
- Position dispensers where they are visible to customers – it's a great way to show off your green choices!
Keeping It Going
- Check stock levels before a busy shift to ensure you never run short.
- Brief your team on correct disposal – into general waste if you don't have a commercial composting contract.
- Keep the dispenser clean and topped up as part of your daily opening/closing checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long do these black paper drinking straws 6mm last in a drink?
A: They are designed to stay firm and functional for the typical time it takes to consume a cold drink. They perform much better than cheaper, lower-quality paper straws.
Q: Are they suitable for hot drinks?
A: No, these straws are designed and recommended for use with cold beverages only.
Q: Is the 6mm bore wide enough for smoothies or milkshakes?
A: The 6mm bore is ideal for soft drinks, juices, and cocktails. For very thick smoothies or milkshakes, we recommend a wider straw (8mm+ bore) for the best customer experience.
Q: Are these straws individually wrapped?
A: No, these straws come unwrapped in a dispenser box of 250, making them ideal for use in a bar-top straw dispenser.
Q: Is the black colouring food-safe?
A: Yes, all materials and dyes used are certified food-safe for their intended purpose.
Q: Can I recycle these in my standard paper recycling bin?
A: Due to being contaminated with drink residue after use, used straws should not be put in dry paper recycling. They should be placed in general waste or, ideally, a commercial food waste collection if you have one.
Q: What does 'Beaumont' brand signify?
A: Beaumont is a highly respected UK brand that has been supplying the bar and catering trade for decades. Their name is synonymous with quality, reliability, and products designed for professional environments.
Q: Will the black colour run into the drink?
A: No, the colour is stable and will not bleed or run into the beverage.

Explore more from BeaumontEco-Friendly in Practice: What 'Commercially Compostable' Really Means
You see 'biodegradable' and 'compostable' everywhere, but what's the real difference for your business? Think of it like this: 'biodegradable' simply means something will break down over time, but that could take years in a landfill. 'Commercially compostable', however, is a specific standard. It means that in the right conditions of an industrial composting facility, this straw will break down into nutrient-rich soil within about 12 weeks. While you can't throw it on a home compost heap, it's designed for a proper, circular waste stream, turning your waste into a useful resource rather than long-term pollution. It's the most responsible choice for single-use items.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bustling Pubs & Bars: A must-have for serving everything from G&Ts to pints of lemonade and lime reliably and stylishly.
- Trendy Cafes & Juice Bars: The perfect eco-chic accessory for iced coffees, fresh juices, and chilled teas.
- Event & Mobile Caterers: A smart, easy-to-manage disposable that shows a commitment to sustainability at any function.
- Quick-Service Restaurants: An excellent way to upgrade your drink service and demonstrate your environmental responsibility to customers.
