Wholesale Paper Straws for UK Cafés and Hospitality
White, kraft, black and striped formats in stock
The paper straws range covers the formats UK café, juice-bar and hospitality operators reach for fastest — plain white paper straws for clean-label service, natural kraft paper straws for eco-finish presentation, black paper straws for premium cocktail and dessert service, and printed-stripe paper straws for retail and seasonal branding. Standard 6mm diameter handles fizzy drinks, juices and water; jumbo 10–12mm diameter handles smoothies, milkshakes and bubble tea. Cocktail-length and standard-length variants are stocked across each colour.
Paper straws — FSC-certified and biodegradable
Every paper straws specification is food-contact safe under UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004, made from FSC-certified paper sourced from responsibly managed forests. The format is fully biodegradable and recyclable through standard paper streams when uncontaminated. Wall thickness is calibrated to hold structural integrity for a full drink without going soggy within typical takeaway hold times. PFAS-free across the paper straws range — no fluorinated grease-resistant coatings. Compostable bagasse straw alternatives are stocked alongside paper for operators preferring sugarcane-fibre. Certification documents accompany trade-account orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum order on paper straws?
There is no minimum order on the paper straws range — buy a single case or order by the pallet. The same trade pricing applies in either case, with no small-order surcharge. Volume tiers add discount on pallet quantities; full pricing breakpoints are visible after registering a trade account.
Do paper straws go soggy in drinks?
Wall thickness on the Westbids paper straws range is calibrated to hold structural integrity for typical takeaway drink hold times — most service applications stay rigid throughout the drink. For very long-hold service (e.g. cocktail bars where a drink sits for an hour), jumbo-diameter or bagasse alternatives offer longer rigidity. Standard-thickness paper straws hold up well for ~30–45 minutes in chilled drinks.
Are paper straws recyclable or compostable?
FSC-certified paper straws are recyclable through standard paper streams when uncontaminated by significant food or drink residue. They are also home-and-industrial compostable since they contain no plastic coating. Disposal route depends on what your venue's waste system accepts — both pathways work.
How fast do orders ship?
Orders placed before 1pm dispatch the same working day from Newcastle. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide orders ship on a paid next-day courier service charged at checkout.
