Celebrate National Afternoon Tea Week with Lantex

The hospitality industry has been one of the most severely-affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To help tempt uncertain customers back to eating out (in full adherence with current social distancing guidelines), it's a great idea to take note of national food and drink events and use them to create promotions: the week commencing August 10th is National Afternoon Tea Week so why not make the most of it?

Lantex is an expert manufacturer of bespoke products perfect for hospitality industries: the extensive range includes items such as aprons, tablecloths, napkins and oven gloves. We also supply a product that no afternoon tea would be complete without: the humble yet essential tea towel!

Tea towels, sometimes referred to as tea cloths, date back to the 18th century. They were originally used solely at the tea table, where they acted as teapot-cosies, prevented drips and helped to keep hands safe from being burned by hot teapot handles. Their handy size and unmatched absorbency soon saw them being used for many other purposes in the kitchen, including mopping up spills and drying cutlery and crockery.

The popularity of tea towels is reflected in the huge number that Lantex produce, which totals well over one million items every year. We offer a wide selection of tea towels, including natural, organic, cream and bleached varieties, all of which can be quickly produced in any size required.

Our tea towels are supplied with convenient hanging loops and can be sewn 4x or 2x sided. In addition to standard 'Made in the UK' care labels, the towels can also be finished with bespoke labels. A comprehensive printing and packaging service is available upon request.&
