Aprons

We can supply you with top-quality aprons at incredible prices – which could be less than £4 per apron for some designs, excluding VAT. And what’s best, the more you buy in a single order, the cheaper they get. You could kit out a pretty large team of kitchen and front-of-house staff for less than £500, and that’s a small price to pay for knowing that they’ll always be smart and professional in their customer interactions.

You can choose from a fantastic range of aprons, too, which means you’re guaranteed to find the style and colour that matches the vibe you’re trying to portray with your business. For example, you might want a full-front apron with a neck strap that hangs all the way to the knees, which is perfect for cafes and bars, especially behind the counter or in the kitchen. 

Alternatively, you might prefer the waist apron, which attaches around the waist with a tie, and extends to thigh, knee or shin height, depending on the look you’re going for. They’re handy for waiting staff as they have a large pocket on the front, perfect for a notebook and pen or carrying electronic card payment machines. A lot of businesses choose this style when they have a vivid or particularly smart uniform for the front-of-house staff, as it’s much less visible but provides a degree of splash protection around table height and has the utilitarian pockets the staff need.

When it comes to colours, we can pretty much guarantee that whatever branding you have for your restaurant, you’re going to find a set of aprons that matches or contrasts beautifully with it. Our PR154 Premier Colours Pocket Bib Apron, for example, comes in up to 40 colours, as well as black and white. Some of our waist aprons have an equally large choice, too – take a look at the Dennys Waist Apron collection or the PR150 Premier Colours Bib Apron, which have about 60 colours between them. Not all aprons need to be a single colour, either, The striped apron is always popular, and not only with butchers – it lends any establishment an artisan feel, which is probably why street food and trendy cafes often plump for this classic design.

And don’t forget – your staff don’t all need to be in the same colour of apron. It’s quite common for employees of different ranks or roles to wear different coloured aprons to make them stand out to the team and the customers alike. A blue waist apron might be worn by waiters, with the managers wearing maroon bib aprons and the kitchen staff wearing white and black ones, depending on seniority. It all helps gel the team and creates pride in the business for the managers and team leaders – as well as something to aim for junior staff. 

If you’re looking to elevate your staff a little, there are also some premium looks to choose from. A nice touch is the denim waist apron, which looks just like a pair of jeans around the hips, and instantly gives any place a young, relaxed but smart appearance. There are also full-length bib aprons in denim, too, which go fantastically well with a smart shirt or blouse underneath, in pretty much any colour. This particular one has a standout faux leather necktie, too, for a supreme look. And being denim, they’re long-lasting and are a little more forgiving than white when it comes to splashes and stains.

So you’ve got the length, the colour and the style you need to set off the look you’re chasing for your restaurant, bar or cafe. Now, how about some finishing touches? If you buy through Screen Textiles, we can give your aprons the final elements of branding that they need, thanks to our printing and embroidery services. We can print company logos or cool messages on more or less any fabric, so it makes sense to let us do the printing as well as the supplying. Just tell us what you need, send us finished graphics or basic designs, and we can do the rest. You’ll get a fantastic-looking set of aprons that makes your business totally unique, something that customers always notice. We can even embroider an individual name or role badge on them if you like.
