Craven Steel Cutlery Trolley with Castors

The Craven cutlery trolley is a straightforward, well-built piece of front-of-house equipment designed to store, transport, and distribute cutlery during service. Constructed from epoxy-coated steel, it accommodates two cutlery trays and is fitted with quality castors for easy movement across floor surfaces. It is a practical solution for operations that need to move cutlery between the wash area and the dining floor without relying on ad hoc carrying methods.

In busy service environments — banqueting suites, hotel restaurants, and function rooms in particular — having a dedicated cutlery trolley reduces the number of trips staff make between sections and keeps cutlery organised and accessible during setup and throughout service. The 40kg capacity means a full complement of cutlery for a substantial number of covers can be loaded and moved in a single run, which makes a meaningful difference during quick table turns.

From an operational standpoint, the benefits are largely practical:

• Reduces staff handling time when distributing cutlery pre-service
• Keeps cutlery contained and sorted during transit rather than loose in trays
• Epoxy coating provides a hygienic, cleanable surface that resists corrosion
• Castors allow movement across varied floor surfaces with minimal effort
• Frees up surface space in back-of-house during the post-wash stage

The trolley requires no installation — it arrives ready to use and needs no power, plumbing, or ventilation. It is worth checking floor surfaces and door widths in your venue, as some older properties have narrower service corridors that may affect manoeuvrability. The trolley is a sensible fit for mid-to-large dining operations; for very high-volume banqueting sites that require greater capacity or additional tray sections, a heavier-duty alternative may be worth considering.
