- Top-Tier Aesthetics: The kraft black finish looks far more premium than typical disposable placemats.
- Limited Spill Proofing: Being paper, they handle small drips but won't contain a major liquid spill.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch, a busy Mediterranean restaurant in Bath, was struggling with the constant cycle and rising cost of laundering their cloth placemats. They needed a more efficient but equally stylish alternative for their high-turnover lunchtime service.
"We switched to these kraft placemats and the difference was immediate. They look fantastic on our dark wood tables, and we've completely eliminated our laundry bill. The team can now reset a table in under a minute, which is crucial when we have a queue at the door."
Michael Davies – Restaurant Manager
The switch resulted in a saving of over £150 per month in laundry costs and visibly faster table turnarounds during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Store the pack flat in a cool, dry place to prevent curling.
- Simply place one mat at each table setting before service.
- The 430x300mm size is designed to fit a standard place setting perfectly.
- Ensure tables are clean and dry before placing the mat down.
Keeping It Going
- These are designed for single use for maximum hygiene.
- After the guest has left, simply gather the mat and dispose of it.
- Check your local authority's guidance for recycling food-soiled paper products.
- Wipe the table down before placing a fresh mat for the next customer.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you write on them?
A: Absolutely. Their smooth surface is great for chalk markers or pens, perfect for writing specials, reserved signs, or just a welcoming message for your guests.
Q: How many placemats are in one pack?

Q: Is the black colour on both sides?
A: Yes, the kraft black colour is consistent through the material, so it looks great from any angle with no white backing.

A: No, they are made from a good quality weight of paper that lies flat on the table and feels substantial, not thin or cheap.
Q: Can these be composted or recycled?
A: As they are made from recycled paper, they are biodegradable. However, recycling or composting of food-soiled paper depends on your local council's facilities, so it's best to check with them.
