One of the most affordable ways to update hospitality uniforms is to add a stylish touch with some colourful neckwear. Whether you’d like to choose the same colour for every member of your team, or would prefer to mix things up by buying ties and scarfs in complimentary colours, eye catching neckwear is a great way to bring a little elegance to your bar, café or restaurant.
Stylish catering uniforms designed to enhance the image of your brand.

Here at Catering Uniforms we supply a wide range of smart uniforms designed to be worn by bar, waiting and catering staff. Our collection of stylish neckwear includes ties and scarves to suit all styles and budgets, from classically simple bow ties, through to colourful fashion ties and chiffon scarves.

A smart bow tie will never go out of style and for a touch of classical elegance, is pretty hard to beat. When teamed up with a traditional white shirt, black waistcoat and trousers, the bow tie has long been the uniform of choice for anyone looking to create a formal feel. However, if you want to go for something a little more eye catching, coloured bow ties offer the ideal solution. Our range is available in a wide range of colours.

The colours you use for your business can say a surprising amount so we thought we’d give you a brief insight into what different shades of colour can portray to your customers.
Did you know that red, for example, is said to represent courage, warmth and energy, whilst blue gives an impression of trust, efficiency, calm and intelligence? Yellow can be used to represent optimism, confidence and creativity, but green shows balance, reassurance and environmental awareness. Last and by no means least, black can be said to portray sophistication, efficiency and glamour.

Take time to choose the right colours

Interesting isn’t it? When you stop to think about it, colour really does have a significant impact upon our day-to-day spending habits and buying decisions. If your business is well established and has been up-and-running for some time, the chances are that you already have a colour scheme and logo etc. However, if you’re still making those all-important decisions, don’t forget to take some time to consider which colour or colours will help you portray the right impression to your customers.

Stylish, practical catering uniforms from Catering Uniforms

Practicality does, of course, have an influence on choosing catering or bar uniforms and this is why black tends to be the most popular choice. However, injecting splash of colour with contrasting shirts or blouses is a great idea and can really help to get your team noticed. White shirts and blouses still tend to be part of the uniform of choice for many establishments but choosing something a little out of the ordinary can be a great way to reinforce your brand image whilst still creating a professional impression.

Catering gloves and footwear to help protect your staff

If you run a café, restaurant, pub or bar you’ll doubtless be aware of the wide range of regulations which are designed to help you keep your catering team safe whilst they’re at work. With this in mind, if you’re choosing new uniforms for your catering staff, it’s vital to ensure that not only do they look smart and professional, but that they also provide protection from burns, scalds, cuts or falls.

Catering gloves for catering and bar staff

Catering staff can face a number of health and safety issued caused by their working environment and amongst the commonest tend to be skin problems. Skin problems such as eczema or dermatitis can be triggered by prolonged immersion in water and this is where wearing gloves can make a significant difference. Catering gloves, specially designed to protect the hands from hot water are an essential piece of kit for anyone who works in a professional kitchen.
Catering gloves can also reduce the risk of knife related injuries and specially designed gloves are available which are designed to protect the hands from shape blades without any loss of dexterity and comfort. White cotton gloves are useful for ensuring bar or waiting staff are able to keep their hands clean whilst working, whilst the natural fibres of the fabric will help to keep the hands cool.

Catering safety shoes and clogs

Another hazard of working in a catering kitchen can be the risk of slipping on wet floors. Specially designed catering footwear is the best solution to this problem as these shoes have thick rubber soles, designed to provide traction on damp or greasy floors. In addition, catering shoes with toe caps will help protect toes dropped equipment or hot liquids.

New staff uniforms to get your business off to a great start

Whether you’re starting a brand new business or are thinking about a change of image, investing in smart new staff uniforms is a great way to get off to a fantastic start. Whatever your reasons for buying new uniforms, it’s a good idea to spend time thinking about what will suit your staff and establishment best. In the Catering and Hospitality trade especially, fast judgements are made on the basis of staff presentation. Whilst this adds some pressure, it also means there’s a great opportunity to nail the impression you make.

If you run a hotel, the chances are you’ll have a fairly wide range of staff to provide uniforms for. Hotels are, on the whole, quite large establishments and by rushing into making a purchase, you could end up making a costly mistake. With chefs, waiting on staff, housekeepers, bar staff and reception staff to think of, buying new uniforms can seem particularly daunting but by choosing to order from us, we’ll aim to make it as easy as possible.

Staff uniforms designed to suit all tastes and requirements

We offer a wide range of staff uniforms available in a broad selection of styles and colours. In order to make the best selection, we suggest that you try to choose a style of staff uniform that best fits with the image of your business. If your hotel is fairly traditional, for example, you might like to choose a traditional style of uniform such as black trousers/skirts and white shirts or blouses. If your establishment has a more contemporary feel, this is a great opportunity to go for something in a brighter colour, maybe to match or complement your logo.

When it comes to choosing uniforms to suit individual members of staff, don’t forget to take into account the nature of their role as this will have a bearing on the type of clothing that will make the most practical and comfortable uniform for them. Chefs generally prefer to wear traditional chef’s whites but during the summer a t shirt and chefs trousers might be a more practical option. For superior temperature control for chef’s whites, we also have specially designed mesh panelled chefs jackets which are also a practical chef uniform. Housekeeping staff usually wear tunics to protect their clothing but there’s no reason why these can’t be chosen in a colour to match or complement your logo.

Last and by no means least, don’t forget to order an adequate supply of uniforms! Shirts and blouses must always be in good to supply as they need to be changed more often but formal garments such as waistcoats don’t need to be quite so plentiful. Many of our items of uniform clothing for catering staff use Colourfast technology to hold their colours whilst their being washed. This does however mean that you’ll need a good rotation of uniform items for staff whilst worn items are in the laundry.

Uniforms for restaurant or bar staff needs to be multifunctional and in the first instance should be designed to look smart and professional.

Alongside the style of uniforms, practicality is a hugely important consideration.
