Tableware at The Linen Box

Here at THE LINEN BOX, we are well aware that sitting at a perfectly set dining table is not an everyday occurrence. With long working hours, after school clubs and committee meetings, sitting down to dinner with the family is a luxury from a bygone age....... or is it.

Many of today’s celebrities are making the choice to improve their table etiquette and sit down at the table, eating on smaller plates and slowing down and enjoying their meal.

A recent newspaper report states... “It will come as no surprise that posh Liz Hurley, 43, stays in shape by eating elegantly. She dines using smaller plates and a dainty knife and fork, because she says it helps her to eat less.”

“Sex and the City star Kristin Davis, 44, believes in always sitting down at the table and eating fixed meals is key to staying in shape." The main thing is to never let myself get too hungry." she says. "I make sure I eat every three hours or so - mostly proteins, good carbs, veggies and salads."

“Halle Berry, 42, understands the importance of polite portion control. "I have learnt not to eat a huge portion just because it's there on my plate," she says.

” Along with providing a dietary benefit, eating at a dining table helps our wellbeing and the wellbeing of our children. Allowing communication within the family bringing us all closer together.

A quite meal for two would not be the same without all the romance of a perfectly set table with a lovely white linen or cotton tablecloth and matching napkins. Silver candlesticks and long tapering white candles, elegant cutlery and fine bone china dinner service enhancing the meal to come.

Most families still get together a Christmas and enjoy a fantastic festive feast which is heightened by the look and presence of an exquisitely set table making the day so very special.

Here at THE LINEN BOX we feel that every meal should be special. We stock a superior range of both cotton and linen tablecloths complete with matching napkins to suit any budget. Damask cotton to provide that Edwardian dinner look. Lace and Organza tablecloths that provide an English country, high tea, feel and traditional pure Irish linen damask, just right for that truly rich, opulent ambiance.

You deserve the best.......
