Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Ferryman’s Inn" in Fowey, Cornwall, wanted to ditch their plastic disposables to better align with their coastal, eco-aware customer base. They needed a paper straw that wouldn't disappoint regulars by turning to mush in a pint of coke.
"Our customers are brilliant; they were asking us to get rid of plastic. We tried a few brands that were a disaster, but these Beaumont ones are spot on. They look the part, feel sturdy, and we’ve had nothing but good comments since we switched. It’s a small change that has a big impact on perception."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The inn successfully eliminated single-use plastic straws, improving its green credentials and receiving dozens of positive mentions from customers both in person and online.

Setting It Up
- Keep straws in a clean, dry dispenser to protect them from airborne contaminants.
- Position your dispenser away from steam, heat, or damp areas to maintain straw integrity.
- Always handle with clean hands or tongs to ensure excellent hygiene standards.

Keeping It Going
- Store unopened boxes in a cool, dry storeroom, off the floor.
- Implement a 'first in, first out' system to rotate your stock effectively.

Ever wondered what holds a paper straw together or gives it its colour? It’s glue and ink, and not all are created equal. These Beaumont 3876 paper straws use materials that are certified as 'food-grade', which is a crucial detail for any professional kitchen or bar. It simply means that every component is tested and proven safe for human consumption.

Using food-grade materials ensures that no harmful or untasted chemicals can leach from the straw into your customer's drink. It’s a mark of quality and safety that protects your customers, and in turn, protects your business's reputation.
