- Brush Recommended: For thick shakes or smoothies, a separate cleaning brush is needed for best results.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill on the Exe, a popular riverside pub in Exeter, wanted to eliminate their plastic waste and elevate their drink presentation without compromising on efficiency. They switched from disposable plastic straws to the Beaumont CW490 stainless steel straws.
"We were spending a fortune on plastic straws that just ended up in the bin. These metal straws look far smarter, our customers love them, and they're tough enough for the busiest weekend. The switch was a no-brainer for us."
Robert Davies – General Manager
By making the switch, the pub completely eliminated its recurring plastic straw costs and has noted a distinct rise in positive customer comments regarding its green initiatives.

Keeping It Going

Explore more from BeaumontWhy Food-Grade Stainless Steel is a Smarter Choice
You see 'stainless steel' everywhere, but for a food business, the 'food-grade' part is what really counts. Think of it like this: you wouldn't cook a steak in a rusty old pan, would you? Food-grade stainless steel is specially formulated to be non-porous and non-reactive. This means it will never rust, corrode, or leach any metallic taste into your customer's drink, no matter if it's an acidic lemonade or a creamy milkshake. It guarantees a pure, clean taste every single time, which is something paper or low-quality metal straws simply can't promise. It's an invisible feature that protects your drink's flavour and your reputation for quality.
