Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Anchor Inn, a popular seaside pub in Penzance, Cornwall, was looking to upgrade their disposables to better reflect their commitment to sustainability without sacrificing the classic pub aesthetic.
"We wanted to get rid of plastic straws entirely but needed something that looked the part and didn't fall apart in a customer's drink. These striped straws have been brilliant. Our regulars have even commented on how much nicer they are."

Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Simply open the pack and load the straws into a clean, dry dispenser at your service station.
- Position the dispenser away from heat sources or damp areas to keep the straws in pristine condition.
- Keep the original packaging or note down the SKU (CZ911) for quick and easy reordering.
Keeping It Going
- Store any unopened packs in a cool, dry stockroom to prevent them from becoming brittle or absorbing moisture.
- Wipe down your straw dispenser regularly as part of your daily cleaning routine to maintain hygiene.
- Encourage staff to handle straws by the end that won't go into the drink to ensure cleanliness.
- Dispose of used straws in your general or compostable waste, in line with your local council's guidelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these straws suitable for hot drinks?
A: These paper straws are specifically designed for cold drinks. Using them in hot beverages will cause them to soften and lose their structure much more quickly.
Q: How long do they last in a drink before getting soggy?
A: They are designed to hold their shape for the typical time it takes to finish a cold beverage. Performance can vary slightly based on the drink's temperature and acidity.
Q: Is the 6mm bore wide enough for milkshakes?
A: The 6mm disposable paper straws are perfect for standard liquids like soft drinks, juices, and cocktails. For very thick, ice-cream based milkshakes, a wider 'smoothie' straw would be more suitable.
Q: Are the stripes printed with safe ink?
A: Absolutely. The straws are manufactured using only food-grade, natural glues and inks, making them completely safe for use with all types of drinks.
Q: What are the exact dimensions?
A: They are 198mm long (which is just under 8 inches) and have a 6mm diameter (bore).
Q: Are these straws individually wrapped?
A: No, these straws are supplied loose in a dispenser-ready pack of 250, designed for fast-paced commercial environments.
Q: Can these straws be composted?
A: As they are made from paper, they are biodegradable. We recommend checking with your local waste collection service for their specific guidelines on commercial composting.
Q: What brand are these straws?
A: These are high-quality commercial straws from Beaumont, a well-known and trusted name in UK bar and catering supplies.

Explore more from BeaumontMore Than Just Paper: Why Food-Grade Construction Matters
Ever wondered what actually holds a paper straw together? It’s glue. And what gives it its colour? It's ink. That’s precisely why using 'food-grade' materials, like in these Beaumont CZ911 paper straws, is so important. It means both the glue binding the paper and the inks creating the stripes are tested and certified completely safe for contact with your drink. Think of it like using a clean plate – you wouldn’t want any unwanted chemicals leaching into your meal, and the same principle applies to what you're sipping through. It's a guarantee of safety and quality in every sip.
