- Fitted 5-10 working days from template
Stone table tops cut to size in quartz, granite, Dekton or other sintered stone, from £110/m² (stone only): square, rectangular, round or oval, every edge profiled and polished, and drilled to the bases you already own. For restaurants, cafes and kitchens across London, including a kitchen worktop table in the same stone as your worktops.
A table top is the opposite of a worktop
A worktop has a wall behind it, cabinets under it and a scribe to hide the difference between the drawing and the room. A table top has none of those. Every edge is visible, every edge gets touched, and the only thing holding it up is a base plate roughly the size of a dinner plate.
That changes where the work is. On a kitchen the hard part is the geometry of the room. Here the geometry is simple and everything lives in the edge and the fixing: how the profile feels under a forearm through a whole meal, how the underside is finished where a knee meets it, and whether the drilled centres line up with the base you already have.
It also changes the quantities. Restaurant tables come in numbers, and a set has to match, which means nesting them out of the same slab run rather than ordering them as they are needed. A kitchen table is one top, and the question there is whether it should match the worktops.

Which table
Restaurant, cafe and kitchen table tops
The stone is the same. What the table has to do, and how many of them there are, is not.
Quartz table tops
Consistent from top to top, which suits a set, and no sealing. Quartz is made with resin, so a plate straight from a hot pass or a pan from the stove wants a mat, and it is not a material for a terrace.
Granite table tops
Natural stone, so each slab differs and a set is cut from one slab to read as a set. Granite tolerates hot plates and is porous, so it is sealed before it goes into use.
Kitchen worktop tables
A table cut from the same stone as your worktops: a dining table, or a table end that sits against an island. Ordered with the worktops, it comes from the same batch or slab and matches. A table that projects off the island itself is an overhang question, covered on our breakfast bar page.
Terrace and conservatory tables
Direct sun rules quartz out. Sintered stone is the family made for it. If tables are going outside or under glass, say so at the quotation stage, because it narrows the choice before colour does, and we will say plainly whether it is a job we can take on.
Choosing the stone
Which material for a stone table top
Supply rates are read from our catalogue and cover the stone only. Cutting, edge profiling, drilling and delivery are quoted as their own lines.
| Material | Colours | Supply from | On a table |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quartz | 69 | £130/m² | Indoor restaurant, cafe and kitchen tables: consistent across a set, no sealing. Hot plates want a mat. |
| Granite | 45 | £121/m² | Natural stone with each slab different, so a set is cut from one slab. Tolerates hot plates; sealed before use. |
| Dekton | 63 | £110/m² | Tables in direct sun or under glass, and heavy-use cafe tops. No sealing. Thin formats are brittle at the edge, so the profile is chosen with that in mind. |
| Sintered stone | 8 | £280/m² | Our own sintered stone range: no sealing and stable in heat and sun. The edge profile is chosen to protect it, as on any sintered top. |
Free samples are posted from the Worktop Worx quartz collection, up to four at a time. Other quartz, granite and sintered stone are judged from the slab.
What is involved
From your base plate to a set of tops
Four things decide the price of a table order, and the shape is not one of them.
- First
Bring us a base, or its drawing
The fixing centres are drilled to the plate you already own. One physical base, or a dimensioned drawing of the plate, settles it in a minute. A photograph with a tape measure lying next to it usually does not.
- At quotation
Settle every size at once
Tops are nested onto slabs, and an 800mm round uses about 30% more stone than a 700mm one. Deciding all the sizes together is what keeps the waste, and therefore the price, down.
- At quotation
Choose the edge for the forearm
This is the detail people notice, because a forearm rests on it through a whole meal. A rounded profile is kinder to arms and survives knocks better than a sharp arris. Settle it before a set of twenty is cut.
- Workshop
Cut, profile and drill
Straight cuts and curves are machined, every edge is profiled and polished, and the fixing holes are drilled to your centres. Round and oval tops go on the CNC so the curve is true the whole way round rather than fair in places.
- Last
Delivered, or mounted to the bases
A set of tops is usually a delivery rather than an installation, unless you want them mounted. Either way they travel protected and separated, because stone against stone in a van is how edges get chipped.
The parts that decide it
What makes a good table top
None of this shows in a photograph and all of it shows at the table.
Every edge is exposed
There is no wall to scribe to and nothing to hide behind, so the edge profile makes up most of the finished object. The top arris, the face and the bottom arris are all polished, because all three get touched.
The base plate sets the drilling
Fixing centres vary between manufacturers, and between models from the same manufacturer. We drill to the plate in front of us. If you are buying new bases, buy them first, or at the very least get the drawing before the stone is cut.
Weight is a real constraint
A 30mm round in stone is heavy, and the base has to be rated for it as well as wide enough not to tip. A mitred edge on a 20mm slab gives the visual thickness of a heavier table without the mass, which is often the better answer in a room where tables get moved.
A set has to match
Engineered stone is produced in batches and granite varies slab to slab. Tops ordered at once come off the same run and read as a set. The same tops ordered across a year do not, and the difference is obvious when they are lined up in one room.
Round and oval are machine work
A curve cut by hand is fair in places and flat in others, and the eye finds that immediately on a circle. Curves go on the CNC from the drawing, which is also what makes a set of rounds identical rather than merely similar.
Which warranty applies
In a home, the stone carries our 25-year material warranty, which is written for residential installations. In a business, the stone is covered by the maker's commercial warranty instead, and our 5-year workmanship guarantee covers the fitting either way. Which applies is stated on your quote.
Before you order
What we need from you, and what is not included
A table order goes wrong in the same two places every time: the base and the batch.
Have this ready
- One base, or a dimensioned drawing showing the plate and its fixing centres
- Every size and shape in the order, decided together rather than in stages
- The edge profile chosen
- Whether any of the tops are going outside or under glass
- Somewhere to receive and store them: stone tops are heavy and they stack badly
- Access for delivery, including any stairs between the door and the room
What we do not do
- Supply table bases, columns or feet
- Rate or certify a base for the weight of a stone top
- Cut a top to fit a base we have never seen or been given a drawing of
- Promise a batch match on tops added to a set later
- Re-drill fixing holes in a top that is already finished
Questions
Stone table tops: the questions worth asking
If yours is not here, ring and ask. You will get a straight answer rather than a call-back from a salesperson.
01How much does a stone table top cost?
Stone is priced by the square metre: quartz from £130, granite from £121 and Dekton from £110, supply only. An 800mm square top is 0.64m², so at the quartz entry rate the stone is about £83. Cutting, the edge, drilling and delivery are quoted as their own lines, and a set is priced on how the tops nest onto the slabs, so quote every size together.
02Are quartz table tops good for restaurants?
Indoors, yes. Quartz needs no sealing, wipes clean and is consistent from top to top, which matters when twenty tables sit in one room. Its limits are heat and sun: plates straight from a hot pass want a mat, and quartz is not for a table in direct sun. If a table is going under glass or outside, say so at the quotation stage and we will say plainly whether it is a job we can take on.
03Can you make round table tops?
Yes. Round and oval tops are cut on the CNC from the drawing rather than shaped by hand, which is what makes a curve true all the way round and a set of them identical to each other. Hand-cut curves look fine on their own and wrong side by side.
04Will the tops fit my existing bases?
They will if we drill to the plate. Bring us one base, or a dimensioned drawing of it, and the fixing centres are machined to match. Fixing patterns are not standardised across manufacturers, so this is the one thing we will not work out from a description.
05What is a worktop table?
A table cut from the same slabs as your kitchen worktops: a dining table, or a table end that sits against an island. It is cut, profiled and drilled to the base you already own, like any of our table tops. Ordered with the worktops, it comes from the same batch or slab and matches them.
06Can I have a kitchen table in the same stone as my worktops?
Yes, and it is worth ordering them together. Engineered stone is produced in batches and granite varies from slab to slab, so a table cut with the worktops matches them, and one cut a year later reads as a close relative rather than the same stone.
07How thick should a stone table top be?
Both 20mm and 30mm work. The thicker slab reads as a more solid table and weighs accordingly. A mitred edge on 20mm gives you the same visual thickness with less mass, which matters if the tops get moved to reconfigure the room.
08Can I add matching tables later?
We can cut them, but we cannot promise the batch will match. Engineered stone moves between production runs and granite varies slab to slab. If you expect to expand, order the extra tops with the first set and store them.

Read the guideTwenty or thirty millimetres, and why it matters
What the two standard thicknesses actually change, what they do not (strength, mostly), and why the honest deciding factors are weight, the carry into your kitchen and how you want the edge to read.

Stains and etches look alike and need opposite treatments. How to tell them apart, what to do in the first minute, the poultice method properly explained, and what will make it permanently worse.
Read the guideWhat sintered stone actually is
Sintered stone is a worktop slab made by pressing mineral powders under very high pressure and firing them until they fuse into one dense body, with no resin binding it. That is why nothing in it can scorch, it never needs sealing and it can be made thin.
Read the guideCutting, scratching and what really marks it
You can, and the worktop will usually be fine. Your knives will not be. What actually scratches each of the three materials, why most marks are not scratches at all, and why heat is the real risk.
