Most restaurants buy too many four-tops. Average party size in a UK restaurant sits closer to two than four, so a floor built mainly on four-tops seats couples at tables carrying two empty covers all night, and the room runs at a fraction of its paper capacity.
A workable starting mix is roughly sixty per cent two-seaters, thirty per cent four-seaters and ten per cent six-seaters or larger, then adjusted against your own booking data after three months. Two-tops that push together into a four give the flexibility without buying it twice, which is why square and rectangular tops outsell rounds on a working floor even though rounds seat awkward numbers more gracefully.
Which shape suits which service
Square and rectangular tops combine. Two 700mm squares make a four, three make a six, and a row of them runs along a banquette without gaps. If you take group bookings, this is the shape that earns its place.
Round tops do not combine, but they move better in tight aisles with no corners at hip height, and they seat five or seven without anyone sitting on a leg. They suit fine dining and private dining rooms more than a busy bistro floor.
Base type decides more than the top does
The top is what guests see; the base is what causes complaints. A four-leg table puts a leg where someone wants a knee, and it makes wheelchair access hardest. A single column pedestal clears the knee space and suits tops up to around 700mm. A double column base carries rectangular tops from 1200mm without tipping when someone leans on one end.
For accessible covers, pedestal bases are the practical choice because they leave clear knee space underneath. Confirm your clearances and accessible route widths against Approved Document M for the fit-out rather than working from a rule of thumb.
Complete tables or separate bases and tops
| Item | From | Suits | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| MDF laminate complete table | £99 | Daily service, three turns a night | Edge wear over time |
| Marble-effect complete table | £80 (most £130–£160) | Interior-led rooms, feature covers | Water rings if left wet |
| Wood-effect and patchwork tables | £110 | Long sightlines, rustic interiors | Finish match across a batch |
| Round banqueting table | £599 | Private dining rooms | Storage when not in use |
| Table top only | £50 | Replacing a damaged surface | Base's maximum top size |
| Single column base | £65 | Tops up to around 700mm | Floor levelling on tiles |
| Double column base | £80 | Rectangular tops from 1200mm | Legroom at centre seats |
| Designer base (hour-glass, conical) | £99 | Feature and window tables | Footprint in tight aisles |
A complete table starts at £80 and most MDF models sit at £99. Bought separately, a top runs £50 to £55 and a base £65 to £99, so the pair lands between £115 and £154. For a new fit-out, complete tables are cheaper and arrive matched. Separate parts make sense for replacing a damaged surface, matching a new top to bases you already own, or pairing a heavier designer base with a specific top for a feature area. Browse table tops and commercial table bases separately if that is the route.
Surfaces that survive a full service
Laminate and MDF tops take plates straight from the pass and wipe clean between covers, which suits a room turning tables three times a night. Marble-effect surfaces photograph well and justify their price in an interior-led venue, but show water rings and need drying rather than leaving wet. Wood-effect and patchwork finishes hide daily marking better than either, which matters on floors where forty tables are visible at once.
Whatever the surface, check that the same finish will still be available in two years, because a single replacement top in a mismatched batch is more visible than a worn one.

FAQ
What size restaurant table seats four people?
An 800mm square or 800mm round top seats four for food service, allowing roughly 200mm of table edge each with room for plates. A 1200 x 700mm rectangle seats the same four and sits tighter against a wall run. A 700mm top takes four for drinks only.
What is the standard restaurant table height?
Standard dining height is around 760mm, which pairs with a 450mm chair seat height. Counter height is around 900mm and poseur height around 1100mm, and both need stools rather than chairs. Low or coffee height sits near 480mm for lounge seating.
Should I choose a single or double column base?
A single column base suits tops up to around 700mm and clears knee space for accessible covers. A double column base is for rectangular tops from 1200mm, where a single pedestal leaves the ends unsupported. Check the base's maximum top size before ordering.
Can I buy table tops and bases separately?
Yes, tops are listed from £50 and bases from £65. A complete table is usually cheaper for a new fit-out at £99 against £115 to £154 for a matched pair of parts. Separate parts suit replacements and feature tables.
