Straws

Plastic straws are banned from UK foodservice, but not every paper straw holds up in a drink. Our wholesale paper straws come in standard, smoothie and jumbo widths, plus bamboo and spoon straw options, giving cafés and restaurants a sturdy, compostable alternative that won't go soggy halfway through.

About Our Paper Straws

This range covers standard 6mm paper straws for soft drinks, wider 8-9mm straws for smoothies and milkshakes, and jumbo 11mm straws for bubble tea. Colours include kraft, white, black and red-and-white stripe, so you can match straws to your branding without switching suppliers.

For a plastic-free finish, our wrapped bamboo straws and biodegradable PLA spoon straws add a premium touch to desserts and drinks. Selected straws can also be custom printed with your logo. Pair with our plastic cups & lids or stirrers for a complete drinks set-up.

FAQs

What customer ask for!

1. Are paper straws compostable?

Yes, our paper straws are biodegradable and compostable, making them a practical swap for restaurants and cafés moving away from single-use plastic.

2. What size straw do I need for bubble tea?

Bubble tea needs a wide straw to pull through tapioca pearls — our jumbo 225 x 11mm paper straws are sized specifically for this, alongside smoothie-width 8-9mm options.

3. Are paper straws required by law instead of plastic?

Single-use plastic straws are banned from sale and supply in UK foodservice, which is why paper, bamboo and other biodegradable straws have become the standard alternative.

4. Do you offer individually wrapped straws?

Yes, we stock individually wrapped striped paper straws, a hygienic option suited to takeaway orders, hospitality settings or anywhere straws are handed out loose.

5. What's the difference between standard and smoothie straws?

Standard 6mm straws suit thin drinks like soft drinks and juice, while wider 8-9mm smoothie straws are built to handle thicker drinks like milkshakes without collapsing.
