Collection: Cole & Mason

What Cole & Mason makes

Cole & Mason is a British brand with over 100 years of expertise in salt and pepper mills, grinders, and seasoning tools. The HC range carries the full Cole & Mason mill catalogue — Kenton (compact 150 mm spice mills), Holborn (95 mm beech and black wood mills), Hoxton (gloss-finish 104 mm mills), London (180 mm gift-set mills), and a deep gift-set range across Clovelly, Aldeburgh, Woodbury, and Warwick Inverta. The grinding mechanisms are ceramic for salt and carbon-steel for pepper — durable across years of commercial table service.

Where it's used

Restaurants, cafés, and hotels appoint Cole & Mason on every cover for salt and pepper service. The Kenton spice mill range — sage, rosemary, sichuan pepper, turmeric — sits well at chef stations for tableside finishing rather than on every table. Gift-set ranges (Clovelly, Aldeburgh, Woodbury) suit retail-leaning venues and corporate gifting. The London 180 mm gloss range is popular for fine-dining rooms where the mill is part of the setting; Holborn beech mills suit casual and rustic dining.

Range highlights

• Kenton 150 mm spice mills: sage, rosemary, sichuan pepper, turmeric — chef-station finishing tools beyond standard salt/pepper.
• Holborn 95 mm: compact mills in natural beech and black wood for casual table-top service.
• Hoxton 104 mm: black gloss pepper mills for modern dining rooms with strong design identity.
• London 180 mm gloss range: white, black, and red gloss gift-set mills for premium tables and retail.
• Gift sets — Clovelly, Aldeburgh, Woodbury, Warwick Inverta: matched mill pairs with gift packaging for retail and corporate gifting.
• Lincoln Salt & Pepper Duo: compact 19 cm mill set sized for tight tables and table hire.

Working with our team

Hospitality Connect's catalogue depth in this category reflects 21+ years of supplying Australian commercial venues — single-supplier convenience across appliances, smallware, and consumables means fewer purchase orders, consolidated freight, and consistent specification advice from a team that's seen most operational scenarios before.

Specification matters more than buyers expect — undersized or oversized purchases waste both capital and operating cost. Our trade team spec'd thousands of fitouts across cafés, restaurants, hotels, function venues, and contract kitchens, and we'll match recommendations to your venue brief rather than push the catalogue.

Pair with

Coordinate Cole & Mason on the table with cutlery, drinkware, display platters, and AdHoc mills (German alternative range). For retail-leaning venues, pair with Mason Cash and Teakhaus boards for matching giftable formats.

Cole & Mason care and longevity

• Don't put mills in water — soaking degrades the wooden body and the steel pepper mechanism corrodes.
• Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately; spot-clean gloss finishes with non-abrasive polish for showroom shine.
• Empty and refill mills monthly — old salt and pepper compact in the chamber and reduce grind quality.
• Adjust grind settings seasonally; hard-grain peppercorns wear the mechanism faster than soft varieties.
• Inspect ceramic salt mechanisms annually for chips — small chips reduce grind consistency and the mech should be replaced.
• Store mills upright in venue storage to prevent ingredient settling against the mechanism between services.
