The Haven Collection
Our latest Haven Storage Booth Seating range brings a modern edge to hospitality interiors. Each unit features built-in under-seat storage, perfect for restaurants, cafés, and hotels needing practical, space-saving design. Available in Plain, Fluted, and Quilted backs, every booth is handcrafted in the UK for long-lasting durability and made-to-order customisation.
The Serene Collections
The Serene Collection is our most versatile modular booth seating range, trusted by designers and contractors across the UK. Built for flexibility, Serene offers hundreds of configurations to suit any restaurant, breakout area, or hotel layout. Choose from Plain, Fluted, or Quilted backs, all crafted to contract-grade standards for exceptional comfort and durability.
The Compact Collection
Designed for tighter layouts, the Compact Collection delivers the same handcrafted quality as our larger ranges in a smaller footprint. Ideal for cafés, bars, and casual dining spaces, these space-efficient booths optimise seating capacity without compromising comfort. Available in Plain, Fluted, and Quilted back styles, made to order in your chosen fabric or finish.
Space Optimisation & Cover Count
A smart plan can lift revenue without squeezing comfort. As a rule of thumb, seat depths of 430–470 mm support upright dining posture yet still feel inviting during a three-course service. Increase the depth to roughly 650 mm and you create a laid-back cocktail-lounge vibe—ideal for venues that transition from brunch to late-night drinks.
Our designers balance seat pitch and platform height so legs clear the underside of the table, handbags rest safely on the plinth and servers glide through the aisle. The result: extra covers, smoother traffic flow and a great guest experience.
Booth Seating Styles That Express Your Brand
Whether your venue type is a casual café, a sleek city bar or a family restaurant, HCF offers a vast range of seating styles:
- Button-back booths lend heritage charm to hotel lounges.
- Plain-back banquettes give fast-casual spaces a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
- High-back screens add acoustic dampening for VIP areas or private dining rooms.
- Radius corners wrap effortlessly around awkward pillars, softening circulation routes.
Contrast kick-plates protect against scuffs, powder-coated leg designs bring an industrial note, and—where power is required — optional recessed sockets keep laptops charged without trailing cables. Each detail is chosen to match upholstery, laminate or metal finishes already in your décor, letting the new furniture settle naturally into an established design language.
Materials, Craftsmanship & Contract-Grade Quality
Every frame is crafted from FSC-certified timber, glued and screwed for long life, then layered with high-density contract foam that bounces back service after service.
Upholstery is sewn in HCF’s UK workshops and timber fronts lacquered in-house, giving full control over both quality and lead times.
All fabrics and faux-leathers are certified to Crib 5, so fire officers sign off first time and spills wipe clean in seconds. The result is furniture tough enough for demanding hospitality projects yet refined enough for showcase flagship stores.
Custom Dimensions & Brand Alignment
No two venues share the same footprint, so every order begins with a scale drawing. Seat height, depth and length are tailored to the millimetre, ensuring benches sit flush with walls, skirt tricky skirtings and clear low windows.
Choose from more than a hundred fabric and vinyl colourways, specify contrast piping or quilting, or add embroidered logos for signature flair.
The HCF portfolio spans cafés, bars, college refectories and up-market restaurants—proof that custom seating can look cohesive across multiple sites while still reflecting local character.
What Exactly Is Booth Seating?
Booth seating — also known as fixed seating or banquette seating — combines an upholstered bench, supportive backrest and built-in plinth to create a tidy, space-saving run against the wall. Because tables need only a slim pedestal, diners gain extra knee-room and housekeeping staff can sweep beneath with ease.
Double-sided units create two serving aisles from a single spine, while single-sided benches tuck neatly below mirrors or picture rails — an effortless way to maximise space without adding square footage.
For open-plan staff canteens or contemporary kitchens, the same principles deliver practical kitchen booth seating where teams gather for coffee, quick lunches or informal catch-ups.
Which seating styles suit my business?
Our design team reviews your venue type, traffic flow and brand aesthetic, then recommends styles—from compact café booths to statement button-back banquettes — that suit the space and the way customers dine.
Can you match my existing palette?
Yes. With a range of 100 + fabrics plus custom laminates and powder-coat colours, we can replicate corporate hues or create an accent shade that lifts neutral walls.
How long does manufacturing take?
Standard production is around four weeks from final sign-off, thanks to UK-based workshops and a largely local supply chain.
Do you build non-standard dimensions?
Absolutely. We adjust length, depth and back height to navigate pillars, low ceilings and heritage features, delivering a truly custom fit.
Is a fixed seating wheelchair accessible?
We allow for turning circles and can integrate removable sections or swing-out benches so every guest accesses the table comfortably.
What warranty do you provide?
All frames come with a structural warranty for long-term peace of mind; upholstery cover is governed by the individual fabric house but always meets UK contract standards.
