Chef Gloves – Professional Kitchen and Catering Hand Protection
Working in a busy commercial kitchen demands reliable protective equipment, and professional chef gloves are an essential part of keeping hands safe, clean, and comfortable during food preparation. Our extensive range of chef gloves includes disposable, heat-resistant, and cut-resistant options designed for every type of catering environment. Whether you run a restaurant, café, hotel kitchen, or catering business, you will find the right gloves to maintain hygiene, safety, and efficiency at work.

At Express Cleaning Supplies, we understand that chefs and kitchen staff need gloves that offer excellent grip, dexterity, and durability. We supply high-quality gloves from trusted brands widely used across the UK catering industry. Our selection includes disposable nitrile gloves for food handling, reusable cotton and polycotton gloves for comfort, and specialist gloves for handling hot trays, pans, and baking sheets. Every product meets rigorous safety and hygiene standards required within professional kitchens.
Choosing the correct type of glove ensures better performance and comfort during long shifts. We provide gloves designed specifically for chefs, kitchen porters, and serving staff, ensuring a comprehensive solution for the catering and hospitality sector.
Types of Chef Gloves Available
Disposable Food Handling Gloves
Disposable gloves are essential for hygienic food preparation. We offer powder-free and latex-free nitrile gloves, which are ideal for handling raw meat, seafood, vegetables, and baked goods. Nitrile options provide excellent resistance to punctures and tear damage, reducing the risk of contamination. Vinyl and polyethylene gloves are affordable alternatives for light-duty use, ideal for quick tasks that require frequent glove changes.
Heat-Resistant Oven Gloves
Professional kitchens often involve working near ovens, grills, and hot pans, making heat-resistant gloves indispensable. Our oven gloves and gauntlets are made from high-quality materials such as Aramid or heavy-duty cotton, designed to withstand high temperatures safely. They feature non-slip grips, long cuffs, and flexible materials for both protection and ease of movement while handling trays or cookware straight from the oven.
Cut-Resistant Gloves
Cut-resistant chef gloves are perfect for tasks requiring precise knife work. Constructed from strong fibres such as Dyneema or Kevlar, these gloves safeguard against accidental cuts without restricting dexterity. Chefs can confidently chop, slice, and prepare ingredients knowing their hands are well protected. These gloves are also suitable for cleaning tasks that involve potentially sharp equipment or utensils.
Reusable Fabric Gloves
Reusable cotton or polycotton gloves are comfortable for general kitchen use. They help prevent skin irritation caused by detergents, cleaning chemicals, or extended glove wear. These multi-purpose gloves are washable and highly economical for day-to-day kitchen tasks.
Disposable Gloves for Hygiene and Compliance
Food safety regulations in the UK require strict adherence to hygiene standards, and disposable gloves play an important role. Nitrile gloves are particularly popular because they are resistant to oil and grease, provide greater tactile sensitivity, and are safe for users with latex allergies. They are available in a variety of sizes to ensure a snug and secure fit for all staff members.
Latex gloves, known for their flexibility and strength, are another option; however, checking for latex-free requirements is increasingly important in modern catering operations. Vinyl gloves are excellent for light-duty tasks such as assembling cold dishes or serving, while biodegradable gloves are an environmentally conscious choice for eco-aware kitchens.
Comfort and Grip in Busy Catering Environments
Working long hours in a hot and fast-paced kitchen environment requires gloves that offer outstanding comfort and grip. Many of our chef gloves include textured fingertips or palm surfaces for excellent control when handling knives, utensils, or slippery ingredients. Breathable linings in reusable gloves prevent excess sweating, ensuring comfort and hygiene even during extended wear.
Our products are tested to meet food contact safety regulations, and product details are clearly displayed to help you choose the correct gloves for your specific needs.
