 What’s New
Have you experienced dining to any formal restaurant or food

hotels? Have you noticed a piece of folded cloth placed at the top or side of the plate?
In this lesson, you will learn all about table napkin which includes the sizes,

What’s Is It

A folded table napkin is place on the table for the guest’s use to
contribute to the presentation of the cover and the whole dining environment.
The way in which the napkin is presented depends on the type of establishment
and the type of service. Table napkin is also called as serviette. It is a small
piece of square linen or paper tissue used at the table. It is usually small and
folded, sometimes it intricates design and shape. It can be done as art or as a
hobby. Most commonly encountered as a table decoration in a fancy restaurant.
It serves both practical purposes and decorative in the table set-up.
It is advantage if napkin folds are kept simple, as less handling is
involved. However, some establishments require more elaborate folds for
aesthetic reasons.

Various sizes of table napkin according to the type of meals:

1. Cocktail – 6-9 inches square
2. Tea napkins or kids’ napkins – 12 inches square
3. Lunch napkins – 14 inches square
4. Dinner napkins – 18-20 inches square
5. Formal-Large dinner napkins - 22-26 inches square

Importance of using table napkin during dining:

 It can be used as protection for clothing while eating.
 It can be used to wipe food and drink from the mouth.
 It adds color, design and it makes the table design aesthetically pleasing and
appealing to the eyes.
 It also highlights the theme or motif of the event.
 It is also essential when you need to clean your hands.
 It can also wipe up spills and collect crumbs.
The following show the most common napkin styles and how to make them.
