                                What should front-of-house staff wear?
                                A smart shirt or polo in your colours, dark trousers, an apron where food is served and a name badge. The venue kit builder adds it up for the team.
                                How many aprons does each person need?
                                Many venues allow at least two or three aprons per person so there’s always a clean one. Chefs and kitchen porters may need more.

                                The hospitality year

                                From Valentine’s to New Year’s Eve, the busy nights are planned early.

                                Hospitality lives by the calendar: celebrations, seasons, bank holidays and the Christmas rush. Pick a month to see what’s coming, with an order-by date for each, so new uniform and giveaways land before the busiest nights.

                                                      Quick answers

                                                      When should we order for the Christmas season?
                                                      Aim to send your brief by mid-October so uniform and giveaways arrive before the November and December rush. The hospitality year gives an order-by date for each moment.
                                                      When is Mothering Sunday?
                                                      Mothering Sunday is three weeks before Easter Sunday, so it moves each year and usually falls in March.

                                                      Buyer’s guide

                                                      Uniform that survives the rush, and giveaways guests keep.

                                                      Hospitality uniform takes heat, spills and daily washing, and teams change with the seasons. Here’s what UK pubs, restaurants, hotels and caterers check before they order, plus a brief builder that turns your answers into a request we can quote.

                                                      What to check before you order

                                                      01Choose fabrics for heat, spills and washing
                                                      Kitchens and bars are hot and busy. Choose breathable polos and T-shirts, durable aprons and fabrics that wash well, and check care labels on each product page.
                                                      02Match colours to the venue and hide the stains
                                                      Darker colours, patterns and two-tone aprons hide everyday marks, while the venue’s own colours tie the team to the brand. Embroidery usually lasts well on aprons and polos.
                                                      03Help guests know who to ask
                                                      Front-of-house staff should be easy to spot. A different colour for team leaders, a name badge and a logo on the chest help guests find the right person fast.
                                                      04Plan for seasonal staff
                                                      Holiday parks, attractions and summer venues take on seasonal teams. Order a size run with spares and plan a reorder for the summer peak. The venue kit builder multiplies your kit by headcount.
                                                      05Choose giveaways guests take home
                                                      Useful items travel furthest: bottle openers, reusable cups, tote bags and umbrellas. We supply accessories and drinkware, not drinks.
                                                      06Plan Welsh, Gaelic or bilingual kit
                                                      Venues in Wales often welcome guests bilingually, and Gaelic is part of the welcome in parts of Scotland. We can set Welsh, Gaelic or bilingual wording on uniform and giveaways and you’ll check it on the free proof.

                                                      Quick answers

                                                      What is a food hygiene rating?
                                                      A score shown on the door that tells customers how well a business met food hygiene standards at its last inspection. England, Wales and Northern Ireland use a 0 to 5 scale, and Scotland uses its own scheme.
                                                      Can we have bilingual merchandise for a venue in Wales?
                                                      Yes. We can set English and Welsh, English and Gaelic, or all three on uniform and giveaways, and you’ll check the wording on the free proof.

                                                      Your questions, answered straight.

                                                      What UK pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels and caterers usually ask us, answered by the people who run the orders. Search, or tap a question and we’ll answer it.

                                                      Hello! Ask us anything about uniform and merchandise for pubs, restaurants, hotels and venues. Here’s what UK hospitality teams usually ask.

                                                      Can you embroider aprons and polo shirts?
                                                      Yes. Embroidery is a popular choice for aprons, polos and shirts because it lasts through daily washing. You’ll see the logo size and position on the free mock-up first.
                                                      Can you supply uniform for seasonal staff?
                                                      Yes. Send us your expected headcount and sizes and we’ll quote a size run with spares. Allow about five weeks from brief to delivery, and plan a reorder before the summer peak.
                                                      Do you supply wine, beer or spirits?
                                                      No. We supply bar and drink accessories such as bottle openers, corkscrews, glassware and reusable cups, not the drinks themselves.
                                                      Can you print a QR code or our Wi-Fi details on items?
                                                      Yes. We can add a QR code, a web address or a short message alongside your logo, and you’ll check it on the proof. Test the QR code before you approve.
                                                      Is there a minimum order?
                                                      There’s no fixed minimum: we quote small runs too. Each branding method has a practical minimum, because a set-up costs the same whether it’s spread over ten items or a thousand, so very small runs cost more per item. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest the method that makes them work.
                                                      Can we see a mock-up or a sample first?
                                                      Yes. A digital mock-up of your logo on each product comes free with your quote. For bigger orders we can arrange samples: a blank product to check the size and feel, or a branded pre-production sample once the artwork is agreed. Some samples are free and some carry a cost, which we tell you up front. Nothing is made until you approve the final proof in writing.
                                                      How long does it take?
                                                      Plan on around 7 to 14 working days of production once your proof is approved and payment has cleared, or your purchase order is in place. Delivery comes on top: around 3 to 5 working days from UK-based suppliers to mainland Great Britain and 5 to 8 from European suppliers, customs included, with a little longer for Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Islands. Every date is an estimate until we confirm it in writing.
                                                      How much does it cost, and how do we pay?
                                                      Every order is quoted individually: the price depends on the product, the branding method, the number of colours or positions, the quantity and the delivery. Quotes are in pounds, ex VAT, with VAT at 20% added as one line, and any set-up is shown openly. Your contract and invoice are with Swish and Click Ltd, registered in Northern Ireland (NI737465), VAT number GB 530 7553 02. Pay a pro forma invoice by bank transfer, or buy on a purchase order with a 30-day credit account.
                                                      Do you deliver to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales?
                                                      Yes. We deliver across the UK, to mainland Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Islands, with a little longer for Northern Ireland and the islands. One order can be split across several sites, such as a head office in Cardiff and depots in Glasgow and Belfast.
                                                      Can you add Welsh, Gaelic or bilingual wording?
                                                      Yes. Welsh, Gaelic and bilingual wording is set exactly as you supply it, accents included, and you’ll check every character on the proof before anything is made. For a different name or message on each item, send a spreadsheet and we’ll suggest the method that handles it.

                                                      Still have a question?

                                                          See all FAQs
                                                          Do you have products for my sector?

                                                          Yes: we group products for twelve sectors, from charities and universities to healthcare, construction and logistics. If your sector is not listed, tell us what your teams do and we suggest a kit.

                                                          Can you work with our purchase order and procurement process?

                                                          Yes. Quotes show clear unit prices, and approved organisations can buy on a 30-day credit account with a purchase order.

                                                          Can you deliver to several sites at once?

                                                          Yes. One order can go to many UK addresses, each with its own recipient, phone number and date, from head office to depots, wards or campuses.

                                                          Can you match our uniform colours across products?

                                                          We match colours as closely as each product and branding method allows, using your Pantone references, and the proof shows the result before production.

                                                          What is Swish & Click?

                                                          We supply branded merchandise and promotional products to UK organisations. We source each order from UK-based and European suppliers, brand it with your logo and deliver it to your UK addresses, with one quote and one invoice from Swish and Click Ltd.

                                                          How do I get a quote?

                                                          Send us the products you have in mind, the quantities, your logo, the delivery addresses and the date you need them by, using our quote form or email. We reply with a written quote in pounds and the timing that goes with it.

                                                          Is there a minimum order?

                                                          There is no single minimum: it depends on the product and the branding method, because set-up costs make very small runs less practical. Your quote shows any minimum, and on some items short runs are possible.

                                                          Will I see my logo on the product before you make it?

                                                          Yes. We send a digital proof showing your logo on the product, with its position, size and colours. Nothing goes into production until you approve it in writing.

                                                          Can I get a sample first?

                                                          Often, yes: blank or branded samples can be arranged on many products. Any cost is stated up front.

                                                          How long does it take?

                                                          Standard catalogue items take about 7 to 14 working days to make after proof approval and payment, and express lines from 2 working days on selected items. UK delivery then takes about 3 to 5 working days from UK-based suppliers, or 5 to 8 from European suppliers including customs. Every date is an estimate, not a guarantee.

                                                          Where do you deliver?

                                                          Anywhere in the UK, to one address or many: offices, sites, events and home addresses. Northern Ireland is quoted per order, and the Highlands and Islands can take longer. See delivery across the UK.

                                                          Are prices shown with or without VAT?

                                                          Our quotes are in pounds and show prices without VAT, with VAT at the standard 20% added as one line. If an item carries a different rate, the quote shows it.

                                                          How do I pay?

                                                          Pay the pro forma invoice by bank transfer, and production starts once payment clears. Approved organisations can use a 30-day credit account and pay by purchase order.

                                                          Which branding methods do you offer?

                                                          Embroidery, screen printing, pad printing, transfer and full-colour printing, laser engraving and debossing, depending on the product. We suggest the method that suits your logo and the item.

                                                          What logo file should I send?

                                                          Send a vector file if you can: AI, EPS, SVG or a vector PDF. If you only have a JPG or PNG, send it anyway: we can often redraw it, and you approve the new file before it is used.

                                                          Are there import charges on goods from European suppliers?

                                                          Delivery terms are agreed before dispatch and written on your quote: DDP, where we handle the import, or DAP, where the receiver pays import VAT and any duty and needs a GB EORI number.

                                                          Do you hold stock?

                                                          No. Each order is sourced from the supplier that makes or stocks the product and delivered direct to your addresses, so the lead time runs from your proof approval.

                                                          What if something arrives damaged or wrong?

                                                          Tell us straight away with photos of the box, the items and the label. We investigate with the supplier or courier and agree the remedy with you, case by case.
