About Our Linen Napkins
Our white linen napkins are a generous 20×20 inches (50×50cm), the standard banqueting size used by professional caterers and event planners across London. Each napkin is made from quality cotton-blend fabric that holds its shape through elegant folds and stays comfortable on the lap throughout a meal.

White linen napkins are the finishing touch that elevates any table setting. Our clients regularly hire linen napkins for:
- Weddings — elegant folded napkins on each place setting for the wedding breakfast and evening reception.
- Corporate events — board dinners, awards ceremonies, product launches and networking receptions.
- Private parties — birthdays, anniversaries, garden parties and engagement celebrations.
- Charity galas and fundraisers — maintaining a polished, professional table presentation.
Hiring linen napkins means you get crisp, freshly pressed napkins for every event without the hassle of laundering and storage.
How Many Linen Napkins Do You Need?
The number of napkins you need is straightforward:
- Seated dinner — allow 1 napkin per guest.
- Multi-course meal — allow 1 napkin per guest (one napkin is standard for the full meal).
- Spare napkins — we recommend ordering 5 to 10 extra for last-minute additions or replacements.
