This is a three door electronic combination locker from Elite Lockers, finished in black powder coated steel with a sloping top. Each of the three compartments is secured by an individual electronic lock, removing the need for keys or padlocks and reducing the administrative burden of lost or duplicated keys in busy shared environments. The sloping top prevents items being stored or stacked on top of the unit, which helps maintain a tidy, unobstructed space.
In practical terms, these lockers are well suited to staff changing areas, leisure centres, sports clubs, and schools where a high volume of people move through daily and hygiene is a genuine operational concern. The powder coated steel finish carries effective resistance against MRSA and E-coli, which is a meaningful consideration in environments where lockers are handled repeatedly throughout the day. Reinforced doors add to the overall robustness of the unit under sustained daily use.
Key operational features include:
- Electronic locking on each door — no keys to manage or replace
- Hygienic powder coat finish, resistant to MRSA and E-coli
- Reinforced doors for improved security and durability
- Sloping top to discourage storage and maintain a tidy environment
- Pre-drilled rear fixing points to secure the unit firmly to a wall
The wall-fixing provision is worth noting at the installation stage. Pre-drilled holes are included in the rear panel, and securing the unit to the wall is recommended in any high-traffic area where stability matters. At 23.5kg, the locker can be managed by two people during installation without specialist lifting equipment, though wall fixings should be appropriate for the substrate.
This model is a practical choice for small to medium changing room installations where three users share a bank. For larger installations requiring higher door counts or increased compartment depth, alternatives in a broader locker range may be more appropriate. If you are fitting out a full changing room or have specific requirements around configuration or colour, it is worth discussing the layout in advance — the team is happy to advise before you commit to a quantity.

The Polar G-Series double door multideck freezer is a floor-standing, open-fronted display cabinet designed for the merchandising of frozen grab-and-go products in retail and foodservice environments. With double glazed hinged doors and eight adjustable shelves across a 744-litre cabinet, it provides substantial display capacity in a format that keeps product accessible and visible to customers throughout trading hours.
Forced air cooling circulates consistently through the cabinet to maintain stable temperatures across all shelf levels, which is important when the doors are being opened repeatedly during busy service periods. Automatic defrost runs without operator input, reducing the manual maintenance burden during trade. The unit operates within a climate class 4 rating, making it suitable for warmer front-of-house environments such as convenience stores, staff canteens, and food-to-go counters where ambient temperatures can be higher.
From an operational standpoint, the G-Series offers a number of practical advantages for day-to-day running:
- Colour-changeable LED lighting adjustable via remote control, allowing the display to be matched to the surrounding shopfit or brand colours
- Self-closing double-glazed lockable doors that reduce cold loss and improve overnight security
- User-friendly digital controller for straightforward temperature monitoring
- Energy-saving LED lighting throughout the cabinet interior
- Adjustable shelving to accommodate varying product heights and pack formats
The unit uses R290 refrigerant and carries an F energy rating. At 194kg, it requires a solid, level floor surface and adequate space for airflow at the rear and sides. It runs on a standard supply but the specific electrical requirements should be confirmed prior to installation — particularly in older retail units where circuits may need assessment. This is not a remote-system unit; it operates as a self-contained cabinet.
The G-Series suits convenience retailers, supermarket forecourts, staff restaurants, and food-to-go operators who need reliable frozen display capacity in a well-presented, freestanding format. For very high-volume operations or sites requiring remote refrigeration, a heavier-duty or remotely condensed alternative may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet is the right fit for your space or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£51.96(£62.35 inc VAT)
The Churchill Alchemy Balance coupe plate is a plain white fine china plate with a clean, rimless profile. The coupe shape removes the traditional rim, giving the plate a modern, unfussy appearance that keeps the focus firmly on the food rather than the crockery. It is part of Churchill's Alchemy range, which is a well-established choice across restaurants, bistros, and café operations looking for consistent, reliable tableware.
In a busy service environment, the practical value of this plate lies in its durability. Fine china with a high alumina content offers greater resistance to chipping and cracking under daily commercial use than standard earthenware. The fully glazed foot is a practical detail worth noting — it reduces surface abrasion when plates are stacked, which extends the working life of the ware and keeps the base in better condition over time.
Key practical points for operators:
- Fine china construction resists chipping under regular commercial stacking and handling
- Fully glazed foot reduces base wear when plates are stored in stacks
- Coupe profile suits contemporary plating styles across a range of cuisines
- Plain white finish works across multiple menu styles without clashing
- Sold in packs of six, suitable for building cover counts incrementally
At 165mm, this is a smaller plate — well suited to starters, amuse-bouches, side dishes, or dessert courses rather than a main plate. Operations needing a larger main course plate should consider the wider sizes available within the same range to maintain a consistent look across covers.
If you are building a full table setting across multiple plate sizes or need guidance on cover quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£34.95(£41.94 inc VAT)
The Utopia Core Bowl is a ceramic stoneware piece finished in a slate colourway, combining a glossy interior with a matte outer surface. Supplied in packs of six, these 205mm bowls are a practical choice for front-of-house service in restaurants, bistros, and casual dining venues looking for a consistent, contemporary table setting.
Stoneware is a well-regarded material in commercial tableware — it handles the repeated thermal cycling of dishwasher use more reliably than lighter ceramics, and the slate finish is forgiving under the kind of handling that comes with busy covers. The dual-finish design tends to hold its appearance well over time, which matters when consistency across a table matters to your guests.
A few practical points worth noting for commercial use:
- Stoneware construction suited to commercial dishwasher cycles
- Matte outer surface reduces the appearance of handling marks
- Uniform shape supports consistent plating across a section
- Pack of six allows straightforward stock management by cover number
- Slate finish works across both warm and neutral table schemes
At 205mm, this bowl sits comfortably as a starter, soup, or sharing portion size. It is worth considering your portion sizes and service style before committing — the depth-to-width ratio suits soupier or sauced dishes well, but may feel shallow for larger salad or pasta portions where a deeper bowl would be more practical.
If you are outfitting a larger dining room or want to discuss how these sit alongside other pieces in the Core range, the team is happy to help you work through the quantities and sizing before you order.
£6,125.00(£7,350.00 inc VAT)
The Lainox Oracle is a high speed oven that combines three cooking technologies (microwave, fan-assisted convection and impingement) within a single countertop unit. It operates across two distinct modes: a full High Speed mode that uses all three technologies simultaneously, and a Combi Wave mode that allows the operator to select microwave, convection or a combination of both independently. This makes it one of the more flexible single-unit cooking solutions available at this size.
In a busy service environment, the Oracle is designed to reduce cook times significantly compared to conventional ovens, without compromising on food quality. It handles a wide range of menu items (sandwiches, wraps, pastries, plated dishes), making it particularly well suited to operations where speed and consistency need to run alongside each other. Recovery between cycles is strong, which matters when you're running continuous covers during a peak period.
From an operational standpoint, several practical features make this unit straightforward to run:
- No overhead extraction required, giving genuine flexibility over where the unit is positioned
- 7-inch colour touchscreen with an intuitive interface that can be customised per site
- Wi-Fi connectivity as standard, with recipe upload and sharing via the Nabook Plus platform
- Stainless steel construction suited to heavy daily use in commercial environments
- Two cooking modes allow the operator to tailor performance to the dish type
The Oracle runs on three phase power, which is worth confirming at the installation point before ordering. It is a countertop unit, so surface load-bearing capacity and available worktop depth should be checked. Because no extraction canopy is required, it can be positioned in front-of-house or kiosk settings as well as in the main kitchen, though ventilation of the surrounding space should still be considered in enclosed areas.
This unit is well suited to cafés, quick service restaurants, hotel grab-and-go operations, staff restaurants and similar venues where a broad menu needs to be served quickly and consistently. It is particularly practical where extraction infrastructure is limited or where front-of-house cooking is part of the service model. For operations running very high volume across extended service periods, it is worth discussing whether a larger or multi-unit configuration would better match the demand.
If you're unsure whether the Oracle is the right fit for your kitchen setup or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£2,342.00(£2,810.40 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series triple door multideck freezer is a wide-format display cabinet designed to merchandise frozen grab-and-go products in high-footfall retail and catering environments. With three hinged, double-glazed doors and a generously proportioned interior, it provides substantial accessible display space without requiring an open-front configuration — a practical choice where temperature management and energy efficiency matter as much as product visibility.
In busy service environments, consistent temperature maintenance is essential. The forced-air cooling system circulates cold air evenly throughout the cabinet, helping to maintain steady conditions across all shelf levels even during periods of frequent door opening. The automatic defrost function runs without operator intervention, reducing the day-to-day management burden in a working kitchen or retail space. The cabinet operates within a temperature range suited to frozen goods, and the R290 refrigerant keeps the unit in line with current environmental standards.
From an operational standpoint, several features help reduce running costs and improve day-to-day usability:
- Self-closing doors reduce temperature loss between customer interactions
- Double-glazed panels provide a degree of insulation without obstructing product visibility
- Colour-changeable LED lighting via remote control allows the display to be matched to front-of-house branding
- Adjustable shelving across the twelve shelf positions supports flexible product ranging
- Lockable doors provide basic overnight or low-traffic security
At 1830mm wide and weighing 276kg, this is a substantial piece of kit that requires careful placement planning. It will need a clear, level floor area with adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. The unit runs on a standard electrical supply, but the installation point should be assessed by a qualified engineer before positioning, particularly in older buildings where floor loading may be a consideration. It is rated to climate class 4, meaning it is suitable for environments up to 30°C ambient — worth confirming if the intended location runs warm.
This cabinet is well suited to convenience retail, food-to-go counters, supermarket-style grab-and-go areas, and canteen or staff restaurant settings where frozen product needs to be displayed accessibly at volume. For smaller operations with limited floor space, a single or double-door multideck may be more appropriate. For sites requiring significantly higher capacity or open-front merchandising, a heavier-duty or open-deck alternative may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet suits your space, footfall level, or product range, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£28.94(£34.73 inc VAT)
This is a GN1/1 perforated aluminium baking sheet from Matfer Bourgeat, a French manufacturer with a long-standing presence in professional bakery and catering equipment. The perforations across the base allow hot air to circulate directly beneath whatever is being baked, promoting even browning and a crisper finish than a solid sheet would typically produce.
In a working kitchen, that consistent heat distribution matters. Whether you're turning out rolls, pastries, or breaded products through a busy service, the perforated base reduces the risk of soft or uneven undersides — a common problem with solid trays in convection or combi ovens where airflow is part of the cooking process. The GN1/1 footprint means it sits correctly in standard racking, combi ovens, and proving cabinets without modification.
Practically, aluminium is a sensible choice for bakeware used regularly at volume. It conducts heat quickly and evenly, is lightweight enough to handle comfortably during a busy service, and is straightforward to clean. At 520g, this tray won't add unnecessary strain when loading and unloading oven racks repeatedly through a shift.
- Perforated base promotes airflow and even browning from underneath
- GN1/1 format fits standard combi ovens, rack ovens, and gastronorm racking
- Lightweight aluminium construction for repeated daily handling
- Well suited to bread, pastry, and breaded or coated products
This tray is well suited to professional bakeries, hotel kitchens, contract caterers, and any operation producing baked goods at volume. If your output is higher or you're working with particularly heavy loads, a heavier-gauge alternative may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this format suits your oven or racking setup, the team is happy to help you confirm before you order.
£21.21(£25.45 inc VAT)
The Matfer Bourgeat 14" balloon whisk is a professional kitchen tool built for everyday use in commercial food preparation. Constructed from stainless steel wires with an Exoglass handle, it is designed to incorporate air effectively into sauces, creams, batters, and egg-based preparations. The sealed wire construction at the base of the handle prevents moisture and food debris from accumulating — a common hygiene concern with cheaper whisks that have open ferrules.
In a working kitchen environment, this whisk performs reliably across a range of preparations. The Exoglass handle is heat resistant to 220°C, which means it can be used at the stove without risk of the handle softening or warping — a practical consideration when finishing a sauce or working near direct heat. At 355mm in length, it gives the user adequate reach into deep pans and mixing bowls without being unwieldy.
From an operational standpoint, a few features are worth noting:
- Exoglass handle is dishwasher safe and heat resistant to 220°C
- Sealed wire construction resists bacteria build-up and simplifies cleaning
- Stainless steel wires offer durability under regular, heavy use
- 14" length suits standard commercial saucepans and mixing bowls
- Lightweight enough for extended use without causing fatigue
This whisk is well suited to the general demands of a professional kitchen — pastry sections, sauce work, or general prep. It is a practical choice for kitchens that need reliable, hygienic smallwares that hold up to daily dishwasher cycles. For very high-volume pastry operations or specialist applications requiring a heavier gauge wire, it is worth considering whether a more heavy-duty whisk would be more appropriate.
If you are kitting out a section or have questions about which whisk sizes suit your specific prep volumes, our team is happy to help.
£26.04(£31.25 inc VAT)
This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm container from Cambro, moulded in polycarbonate and designed for food storage across prep, service, and refrigerated holding environments. At 200mm deep, it holds a substantial volume — well suited to bulk ingredient storage, batch-prepared foods, or cold-side mise en place where a shallower pan would fall short.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for this type of container. It is significantly more impact-resistant than standard food-grade plastic, which matters in a busy kitchen where containers are stacked, dropped, and handled repeatedly across multiple services. The material is also fully transparent, so contents can be identified at a glance without lifting lids or rummaging through a cold store — a small but genuinely useful advantage during a fast-paced service.
- Clear polycarbonate body allows quick visual stock checks without opening
- Raised lip profile sits cleanly in standard GN racks and storage frames
- Rated for use from frozen storage through to hot-side ambient holding
- Dishwasher safe for rapid turnaround between services
- Compatible with Cambro lids for sealed storage and cross-contamination control
The wide temperature tolerance means these containers move between freezer storage and kitchen ambient use without issue, which makes them versatile across different storage scenarios. Lids are sold separately — if sealed storage is a requirement for your operation, it is worth specifying these at the same time.
This container is a straightforward, reliable choice for kitchens needing durable GN-format storage at full size. For operations requiring a shallower profile or a smaller GN fraction, alternatives are available within the range. If you are unsure which depth or size best suits your storage setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£2.11(£2.53 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward stainless steel ladle designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. At 11.5 inches overall, it offers a practical reach into deep pots and gastronorm containers without the handle becoming a hazard near open heat sources.
In busy service environments — canteens, pub kitchens, school catering operations — ladles take considerable punishment. They are dropped, knocked against pot edges, and put through commercial dishwashers multiple times a day. Stainless steel construction handles that routine well, resisting corrosion and deformation under normal kitchen use.
From an operational standpoint, a well-proportioned ladle like this supports consistent portioning, which matters both for food cost control and service speed. The hanging hole at the end of the handle keeps it accessible on a utensil rail without taking up drawer or tray space. Key practical points:
- Compatible with commercial dishwashers and utensil washers — no hand-wash-only limitation
- Elongated handle reduces the risk of contact with hot liquid during service
- Hanging hole supports clean, accessible storage on utensil rails
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and everyday wear
There are no installation requirements here — this is a grab-and-use utensil. It is well suited to catering operations that need reliable, cost-effective smallwares across multiple stations or sites. For operations serving very high volumes where heavier-gauge or longer-handled ladles would be more appropriate, it is worth considering the fuller range before ordering in quantity.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or restocking across multiple stations and want a steer on the right ladle sizes and quantities for your service style, the team is happy to help.
£30.31(£36.37 inc VAT)
Suma D2 is a concentrated, alkaline multi-surface cleaner from Diversey, supplied here in a 5-litre bottle. It is formulated to cut through grease, oils, and dried-on food residue on hard surfaces — the kind of soiling that accumulates quickly in a working kitchen and resists lighter cleaning products.
In a busy catering environment, surface cleaning needs to be fast and effective across a range of contact points: prep surfaces, equipment exteriors, walls, floors, and general work areas. Suma D2 handles all of these without requiring separate products for different surfaces, which simplifies stock management and reduces the number of chemicals staff need to work with.
Because the product is supplied as a concentrate, it is compatible with chemical dosing systems, allowing the dilution ratio to be adjusted to the task in hand — stronger for heavy end-of-service cleans, lighter for routine wipe-downs between covers. This flexibility also means the cost per use is considerably lower than ready-to-use alternatives, which matters when cleaning volumes are high.
- Alkaline formula cuts through grease and dried food residue reliably
- Suitable for use across multiple hard surface types
- Compatible with chemical dosing systems for controlled dilution
- Concentrated format reduces cost per use versus ready-to-use products
- Straightforward for kitchen, janitorial, and housekeeping staff to use
Suma D2 is well suited to kitchens of any size where a single, dependable multi-surface cleaner is preferred over a range of specialist products. For operations with very high throughput or specific surface types requiring targeted chemistry, it is worth discussing your cleaning regime with us to confirm the right product for each application.
£18.31(£21.97 inc VAT)
The Victorinox Fibrox range is one of the most consistently used professional knife lines in commercial kitchens across the UK. This 15.2cm chef knife is the shorter option within the Fibrox chef knife line, making it a practical choice where a full-length blade would feel unwieldy — particularly for prep cooks working with smaller produce, or operators who prefer a more controlled cutting motion during detailed work.
The blade is carbon stainless steel, which holds a working edge reliably under daily use without being difficult to maintain. In a busy kitchen environment, that balance matters: a blade that dulls quickly slows prep, while one that is overly hard to sharpen disrupts routine maintenance. Victorinox occupies a sensible middle ground that experienced kitchen teams tend to appreciate.
The Fibrox handle is the defining practical feature of this range. It is designed to remain secure in wet or greasy hands — a real consideration in active service environments where safety and grip consistency directly affect both speed and risk.
- Shorter blade length suits detailed prep work and smaller produce
- Carbon stainless steel holds a working edge through regular daily use
- Fibrox handle provides a secure, non-slip grip in wet conditions
- Lightweight at 90g, reducing hand fatigue during extended prep sessions
- Straightforward to maintain and sharpen as part of routine kitchen practice
At 15.2cm, this knife is not a general-purpose workhorse for bulk butchery or heavy breaking-down tasks — for that, a longer blade would be more appropriate. It is best suited to prep stations, garde manger, or as a secondary knife for cooks who carry their own kit.
If you are equipping a full brigade or want to talk through knife selection for a specific operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£479.00(£574.80 inc VAT)
The Lincat LPG single contact grill is a countertop unit designed for direct-heat cooking of meat cuts, fillets and pressed sandwiches in a commercial kitchen. It runs on LPG rather than mains electricity, which makes it a practical option where dedicated electrical supply is restricted or where gas is the more convenient service on site. Both the top and bottom plates are ribbed enamelled cast iron, producing the defined branding marks expected on grilled burgers, steaks, chops and paninis.
Cast iron holds heat well once the unit is up to temperature, which helps maintain consistent cooking results across a run of covers. The thermostatic control allows kitchen staff to set and hold a target temperature, supporting repeatable outcomes without relying on individual judgement during a busy service. The balanced hinge mechanism applies even pressure across the plates — enough to seal a panini or wrap without compressing it to the point of losing its shape.
- Enamelled cast iron plates retain and distribute heat evenly between batches
- Ribbed top and bottom surfaces produce clean branding marks on meat and bread
- Thermostatic control supports consistent cooking across a service period
- Balanced hinge suits a range of products from meat cuts to pressed sandwiches
- LPG operation where mains electrical capacity is unavailable or impractical
As a single-head unit, this grill is well suited to lower-volume operations — a café, sandwich bar, small restaurant, or a secondary station within a larger kitchen. If your grill is running continuously through a long service or handling high covers, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or dual-platen model would better match your throughput.
If you are unsure whether LPG is the right fuel choice for your setup, or want to talk through how this unit would fit into your kitchen, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit to anything.
£85.41(£102.49 inc VAT)
The Steelite Smoke Coupe plate is a 153mm porcelain side or starter plate from Steelite's Urban range, supplied in cases of twelve. The Smoke collection takes its visual cues from the cooking process itself — the subtle layering of grey tones and darker reactive surface variation is intended to echo browning, searing, and the natural effects of heat on food. The result is a plate that feels connected to the kitchen rather than simply a neutral backdrop for the dish.
The coupe profile — no rim, a gently curved surface — suits contemporary plating styles where chefs want clean edges and maximum usable surface area. At 153mm this size works well as a side plate, bread plate, or for small starter portions and pre-dessert courses. The grey concrete-effect finish is deliberately understated, allowing the food to read clearly without visual competition from the plateware.
Porcelain at this specification is well suited to the demands of busy restaurant service. It holds up to commercial dishwasher cycles, handles normal stacking in pass and storage, and the reactive glaze finish is consistent enough across a case that plates from different deliveries will sit alongside one another without obvious variation.
- Coupe profile maximises usable surface for plating
- Reactive grey glaze suits modern, urban restaurant aesthetics
- Porcelain construction handles commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
- Consistent finish across a case supports coordinated table presentation
This plate is best suited to restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms running a considered, modern table aesthetic. It is a mid-size piece designed for side and starter applications rather than main course service — operators needing a larger plate for mains should look at the wider sizes within the Smoke range.
If you are building a full cover from the Smoke collection or want to check compatibility with your existing plateware, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£186.00(£223.20 inc VAT)
The Utopia Paradise hi ball glasses are polycarbonate drinkware designed to replicate the appearance of conventional glassware without the associated breakage risk. At 530ml capacity, they're a practical format for long drinks, soft drinks, and cocktails across a wide range of licensed and hospitality settings.
In a busy bar or outdoor service environment, broken glass is both a safety hazard and a source of service disruption. Polycarbonate construction addresses this directly — these glasses withstand the knocks, drops, and general handling pressure of high-volume service without shattering. The clarity is notably good for polycarbonate, which matters in venues where the visual presentation of drinks is part of the guest experience.
From an operational standpoint, the Paradise hi balls offer several practical advantages:
- Polycarbonate construction — highly resistant to breakage under normal service conditions
- Glasswasher safe — compatible with standard commercial glasswashing cycles
- Consistent clarity — maintains a glass-like appearance for guest-facing service
- Lightweight format — reduces fatigue for staff carrying multiple drinks
- Pack of 24 — practical quantity for stocking a bar or topping up existing supply
These are well suited to poolside bars, outdoor terraces, festival catering, sports venues, and any setting where glass is restricted or the breakage rate with conventional glassware is a recurring cost. They're equally practical in high-turnover pub environments where rapid turnaround matters more than a premium glassware feel.
If you're unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your venue or want to discuss quantities for a larger operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£41.03(£49.24 inc VAT)
The Sola Windsor dessert spoon is a traditionally styled piece from Churchill's Sola range, finished in stainless steel with softly curved lines and a double thread detail along the handle. At 177mm in length, it sits comfortably within the dessert course setting and presents well on both formal and informal covers.
In practice, the Windsor pattern holds up well in high-throughput environments. The stainless steel construction withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant discolouration or distortion, and the pattern retains its finish through regular use. It is a practical choice where a more traditional aesthetic is required without moving to silver-plated ware.
- Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service turnaround
- Traditional styling suits formal dining and hotel covers
- Consistent finish across the pack supports uniform table presentation
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and heavy daily use
As with any cutlery in a busy operation, matching pieces across your full cutlery range matters as much as the individual spoon. The Windsor pattern is available across multiple piece types, so it is worth confirming which additional pieces you need before ordering to ensure consistency on the floor.
This pack of 12 is well suited to smaller operations or those looking to supplement an existing Windsor stock. Higher-volume sites or those outfitting from scratch may find it more practical to order in larger quantities.
If you are selecting cutlery across a full cover setting or matching to an existing range, the team is happy to advise on quantities and pattern compatibility.
£123.00(£147.60 inc VAT)
The Churchill Alchemy GN 2/4 melamine buffet trays are display and serving pieces designed for professional buffet lines, counter service, and catering events. The black granite effect finish gives each tray a consistent, polished appearance that holds up well over repeated use and works across a wide range of food presentations. They are supplied in packs of four, which is a practical quantity for setting up or extending a working buffet line.
In day-to-day buffet service, melamine sits in a useful middle ground — it has the visual presence of stoneware without the fragility or weight, and it handles the repeated handling, repositioning, and washing that characterises busy service environments far better than plain plastic. The elongated GN 2/4 footprint suits linear display arrangements well: bread and pastry runs, charcuterie and antipasti boards, and any presentation where a narrow, extended tray makes better use of counter space than a square dish.
A few practical points worth noting before buying:
- Melamine construction resists staining and is waterproof throughout service
- Non-slip silicone feet keep trays stable on buffet counters and display risers
- GN 2/4 footprint integrates directly with standard gastronorm buffet frames and units
- Lightweight enough for front-of-house staff to handle and reposition comfortably
- The black granite finish helps disguise minor surface wear, keeping displays looking consistent over time
These are display and service pieces only — they are not suitable for oven, bain-marie, or direct heat use. They are dishwasher safe, though keeping wash cycles at moderate temperatures will help extend the finish and material life over time.
Well suited to hotels, restaurants, cafés, and event caterers running regular buffet service. For operations needing deeper dishes, larger surface areas, or different formats, the broader Alchemy range includes alternative pieces worth considering alongside these trays.
If you are putting together a buffet display system and want to talk through which formats and quantities would suit your service style, we are glad to help.
£10.56(£12.67 inc VAT)
The Olympia Mayfair Dessert Knife is a traditionally styled piece of table cutlery finished in highly polished 18/0 stainless steel. It follows a clean, classic pattern that sits comfortably in formal and informal covers alike, making it a practical choice for hotels, restaurants, and catering operations that want consistent, presentable table settings without unnecessary fuss.
18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which gives it slightly less corrosion resistance than 18/10 grades but makes it well suited to high-volume operations running frequent dishwasher cycles where cost-per-cover and replacement practicality are a priority. The polished finish holds up well under regular commercial use and presents cleanly at the table.
Supplied in a pack of 12, the Mayfair range is commonly used where operators need to build or replenish a full cutlery set without mixing patterns. Key practical points worth noting:
- Classic Mayfair pattern coordinates across the full Olympia range
- Highly polished finish suitable for front-of-house table service
- 18/0 stainless steel withstands regular commercial dishwasher cycles
- Pack of 12 allows straightforward stock management by cover count
- Consistent weight and balance across the range aids uniform table presentation
If you are building a full cutlery set from scratch or need guidance on matching pieces across the Mayfair range, we are happy to help you work through the quantities and patterns before you order.
£73.69(£88.43 inc VAT)
The Steelite Carnaby 100mm bowl is a small-format piece from the Maham Studio collection, finished in a distinctive teal reactive glaze. Vitrified stoneware construction gives each bowl a solid, weighty feel that reads well on the table, and the reactive glazing process means no two pieces are identical — a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a quality inconsistency.
At 100mm in diameter, these bowls are suited to amuse-bouche, small starters, pre-desserts, side portions, and sauce or condiment presentations. The compact format works well in tasting menus, sharing plates, or any service style where considered presentation of small portions is part of the offering.
- Vitrified stoneware body resists chipping under regular service handling
- Reactive teal glaze gives each piece an individual, handcrafted appearance
- Dishwasher safe for efficient post-service turnaround
- Sold in a pack of 24, practical for covering a full section or service set
- Compact footprint suits both plated and sharing-style service
As with all reactive-glaze stoneware, minor variation in colour depth and surface texture between pieces is inherent to the production process. This suits operators looking for a natural, artisan aesthetic, but may not be appropriate where a highly uniform table presentation is required. The 24-piece pack quantity is worth considering alongside your cover count and washing cycle frequency before ordering.
These bowls are well suited to independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and private members' clubs where presentation detail matters. If you're building out a larger tableware set or need guidance on quantities for a specific cover count, we're happy to help you work that through.

The Steelite Bead range is a straightforward, well-proportioned collection of vitrified china cups designed to sit comfortably in both traditional and contemporary front-of-house settings. The Sage colourway gives the range a muted, earthy tone that works particularly well in café environments, casual dining spaces, and breakfast operations where a consistent, calm aesthetic matters.
Vitrified china is the standard material choice in commercial beverage service for good reason. It handles the thermal cycling of repeated use and commercial dishwasher loads reliably, holds heat well once warmed, and resists chipping better than lighter earthenware alternatives. These cups stack for compact storage — a practical consideration in any service area where back-of-house space is limited.
At around 200ml, these cups are well suited to espresso-based drinks served with milk — flat whites, cortados, and small cappuccinos — as well as tea service where a smaller cup is preferred. The stacking profile keeps storage organised on shelves or in cup dispensers behind the counter.
- Vitrified china construction for durability in commercial dishwasher use
- Stackable design supports compact storage in busy service areas
- Sage colourway suits contemporary café and casual dining settings
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for building consistent table covers
- Proportioned for espresso milk drinks and tea service
These cups are sold in packs of 12. For larger operations setting up multiple covers or needing significant volume to open, it is worth considering how many packs your service rotation requires — accounting for dishwasher cycle times and breakage allowance.
If you are building out a full table setting or matching these cups to other pieces within the Bead range, our team are happy to help you work through quantities and coordinate items.

The Churchill Envisage Natural Deep Bowl is a 215mm, 800ml capacity bowl from Churchill's Envisage range — a collection built around organic, understated shapes in a clean white finish. Made from Churchill's Super Vitrified body, these bowls are designed specifically for the demands of professional hospitality service rather than domestic use.
Super Vitrified construction means the body does not absorb moisture, which matters in a busy kitchen where bowls cycle through dishwashers repeatedly throughout a service. The material also offers strong resistance to thermal shock, helping to reduce breakages when bowls move between cold storage, hot food, and commercial dishwashers in quick succession. Heat retention is reliable, which helps keep plated dishes at temperature between the pass and the table.
From an operational standpoint, this range offers several practical advantages for front-of-house service:
- Churchill's Ecoglaze finish improves resistance to staining and metal marks from cutlery
- Non-porous body supports hygiene standards and simplifies cleaning
- Microwave and commercial dishwasher safe throughout their service life
- Organic bowl shape suits a range of plating styles, from pasta and risotto to soup and sharing dishes
- Supplied in a pack of six, suited to building or replenishing cover sets
At 215mm in diameter and 800ml capacity, these are well suited to main course or generous starter portions. They sit comfortably within a mid-range tableware programme for restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations. For sites needing a broader range of sizes or shapes within the Envisage Natural collection, there are other pieces available that complement this bowl.
If you're building out a new cover set or matching into an existing Churchill range and want to talk through quantities or compatibility, we're happy to help.
£116.00(£139.20 inc VAT)
The Steelite Vesuvius Essence bowl in Burnt Emerald is a 165mm porcelain bowl finished in a reactive glaze that produces natural variation across each piece. Because the glaze reacts during firing, no two bowls are identical — depth of colour and surface character differ subtly from one to the next, which is a deliberate quality of the range rather than a defect.
In service, that visual variation works well on the pass. The rich emerald tone provides strong contrast against most plated dishes and holds its own under ambient and pendant lighting alike. The porcelain construction keeps the bowl practical — it handles the daily demands of a busy kitchen, stacks cleanly, and is dishwasher suitable for straightforward turnaround between covers.
A few practical points worth considering before ordering:
- Reactive glaze means colour tone varies between pieces — consistent across a batch, less so between separate orders
- 165mm diameter makes this a starter, dessert, or small-plate bowl rather than a main-course piece
- Porcelain construction at 400g per piece — durable but not chip-proof under heavy daily use
- Sold in packs of 12 — factor this into cover counts and breakage allowances
- Available alongside Amber and Lapis glazes in the same Vesuvius Essence range for a complementary mixed presentation
This bowl suits restaurants, bistros, and independent dining operations looking to add visual depth to their tableware without moving away from practical, serviceable porcelain. It works particularly well in settings where an eclectic or sharing-plate menu style benefits from tableware that feels considered rather than uniform.
If you are building a full table setting across multiple bowl sizes or mixing glazes within the Vesuvius range, we are happy to talk through what quantities and combinations tend to work in practice.
£38.80(£46.56 inc VAT)
The Olympia Athena oval coupe plates are a straightforward porcelain flatware option for commercial food service operations. The oval coupe profile offers a clean, unfussy presentation surface well suited to plated mains, starters, and sharing dishes across a range of service styles.
Porcelain is a practical choice for busy hospitality environments. It handles the repeated thermal shock of commercial dishwashers reliably over time and resists the surface crazing that lower-grade ceramics can develop under sustained heavy use. The Athena range is a commonly specified entry point for operations that need functional, consistent crockery without the premium cost associated with more decorative ranges.
Key practical advantages for day-to-day service include:
- Durable porcelain construction suited to repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
- Oval coupe shape works across a variety of plated dishes and service formats
- Consistent sizing supports uniform presentation across covers
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for building up crockery inventory in stages
- White finish is neutral and compatible with most table settings
Being porcelain rather than vitrified china, this range is best suited to moderate-volume operations such as pubs, staff canteens, cafés, and bistros. Sites running very high cover counts through intensive service periods may find a heavier-duty vitrified option more appropriate for long-term durability. The pack size of 12 is convenient for smaller operations or for topping up existing stocks.
If you are building a crockery specification for a new opening or replacing an existing range across multiple covers, it is worth having a conversation with us about quantities, mix of shapes, and what will hold up best in your specific operation.
£20.80(£24.96 inc VAT)
The APS Pure melamine tray is a straightforward, well-made presentation surface designed for buffet and display settings. Available in a GN 1/3 format, it sits neatly within standard GN-compatible serving stands and risers, making it a practical choice for operators who want a consistent, organised buffet layout without a great deal of effort.
Melamine is a reliable material choice for this type of application. It holds its appearance well under regular use, resists the knocks and handling that come with busy service periods, and cleans quickly in a commercial dishwasher. The straight outer edges and small corner profile of the Pure range give the tray a clean, unfussy look that works across most buffet styles — from hotel breakfast service to event catering and hospitality suites.
In practical terms, the GN 1/3 size means it integrates easily with existing GN equipment and display stands, keeping your presentation uniform without needing bespoke fittings. Key practical points include:
- GN 1/3 sizing for compatibility with standard serving stands and display systems
- Melamine construction — durable, lightweight, and dishwasher safe
- Straight-edged profile for clean, consistent buffet presentation
- Suitable for repeated daily use in high-throughput environments
This tray is best suited to catering operations that run regular buffet or display service — hotels, event venues, contract caterers, and similar settings where presentation consistency matters and equipment needs to hold up to daily washing cycles. For operations requiring a larger surface area or full GN 1/1 coverage, larger formats within the Pure range may be more appropriate.
If you're building out a buffet display system and want to check compatibility with your existing stands or discuss quantities, we're happy to help.

The Hoshizaki IM-100PE is a self-contained cube ice machine from Hoshizaki's IM Cube Series, producing up to 104kg of full-cube ice in a 24-hour period. Self-contained units house both the ice-making and refrigeration components within a single cabinet, which simplifies placement compared to remote-condenser configurations. The machine produces Hoshizaki's well-established full cube format, a hard, slow-melting cube that is widely used across hospitality and foodservice.
In a busy service environment, consistent ice production and reliable recovery matter more than headline output figures. The IM-100PE is built around a magnetic DC pump motor with variable speed, which contributes to more stable water distribution across the evaporator and supports steady production through periods of sustained demand. For a mid-volume bar, hotel drinks service, or catering kitchen, this kind of consistency is more operationally useful than a machine that peaks well but struggles to keep pace through a long service.
The IM Cube Series introduced a number of practical refinements over the previous IM range that are worth noting for day-to-day operation:
- Automated wash cycle with auto-restart reduces manual intervention between cleans
- Water circuit and condenser cleaning notifications help maintain hygiene compliance and machine performance
- Standby and wash controls directly accessible on the unit
- Higher-grade stainless steel construction throughout
- Condenser cleaning prompts reduce the risk of performance degradation from dust or grease build-up
Installation requires consideration of water supply, drainage, and adequate ventilation around the condenser — being a self-contained air-cooled unit, it needs clear space to exhaust warm air effectively. Positioning in a poorly ventilated area or a hot kitchen environment will reduce output and can shorten component life. Access to a suitable power supply and a clean water feed will also need confirming before installation. Storage bin capacity should be matched to your service peaks, and if your operation consistently depletes ice faster than it can be produced, a higher-output model may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller operations with moderate demand, there are lower-capacity machines in the range that may represent better value.
This machine is well suited to hotel bars, licensed premises, mid-scale restaurant operations, and catering kitchens where reliable cube ice production at a consistent rate matters throughout a full service period. It is less suited to very high-volume venues or large-scale banqueting operations where significantly greater output would be needed.
If you're working through siting requirements or trying to establish whether this output level is right for your operation, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to a purchase.

The Moffat FTBH is a bag holder accessory designed specifically for use with Moffat Focus topper units. It is intended to keep bags securely positioned during service, supporting a tidy and organised servery setup.
Beyond its compatibility with Focus topper units, we currently have limited product detail available for this item. If you are unsure whether this accessory is the correct fit for your existing equipment or servery configuration, we would recommend getting in touch before ordering — it is a straightforward question and worth confirming first.
£90.24(£108.29 inc VAT)
The Utopia Centra tall hiball is a straight-sided 300ml glass with a distinctive heavy base and a subtle bubble detail at the bottom. Machine-made from standard glass, it sits within a broad tumbler range designed to offer a consistent, presentable look across a full table setting without the cost associated with premium crystal ranges.
In a busy bar or restaurant environment, these glasses hold up well under everyday service conditions. The heavy base gives them a reassuring weight in the hand and adds a degree of stability on trays and behind the bar, which matters during a busy service shift. At 300ml, the capacity suits long soft drinks, mixer serves, and standard spirit-and-mixer pours.
The practical advantages of a range like the Centra tend to come down to a few straightforward points:
- Consistent shape across the range supports a uniform table presentation
- Heavy base reduces the risk of tipping on trays and bar surfaces
- Machine-made construction keeps unit cost manageable for high-turnover venues
- Straight sides make stacking and storage behind the bar straightforward
- The 24-piece pack quantity is practical for restocking without over-ordering
There are no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard glassware practice. As with any machine-made glass, it is not intended for heavy-impact environments or outdoor use where breakage rates are likely to be high — in those settings, a polycarbonate alternative would typically be more appropriate.
These glasses are well suited to casual dining restaurants, pub bars, cafés, and hotel food and beverage operations where a clean, everyday hiball is needed in volume. If you are equipping a higher-end venue and want something with a more premium feel or greater wall thickness, it is worth exploring the broader Utopia range before committing.
If you are unsure whether this glass suits your service style or volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£14.91(£17.89 inc VAT)
This Kidde optical smoke alarm uses optical sensing technology to detect slow-burning, smouldering fires — the type most commonly associated with overheating materials, soft furnishings, and electrical faults. It is a straightforward, self-contained unit designed for premises where a reliable, low-maintenance smoke detection point is needed without the complexity of a full addressable fire system.
The sealed 10-year battery removes the routine of annual battery changes, which is a practical advantage in commercial and hospitality environments where maintenance schedules are busy and oversight of individual devices can lapse. When the unit reaches the end of its service life, it gives an end-of-life notification so replacement is not overlooked.
For operators fitting this in a catering or hospitality setting, it is worth considering placement carefully. Commercial kitchens generate significant heat and airborne grease particles, which can cause nuisance alarms with some detection technologies. This unit is better suited to back-of-house corridors, office areas, staff rooms, storage rooms, and front-of-house spaces rather than directly above cooking lines. Where detection is required within the kitchen itself, a heat detector is generally the more appropriate choice.
Installation is straightforward — the unit mounts to a ceiling surface and requires no mains wiring, which keeps it accessible for operators without the need to involve an electrician for basic placement. That said, any fire detection provision in a commercial premises should sit within a wider fire risk assessment, and placement should be agreed with your responsible person or fire safety adviser.
If you are unsure whether this unit is appropriate for a specific area of your premises, or whether additional detection points are needed, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£63.40(£76.08 inc VAT)
The Churchill Menu Shades Caldera Ash Coupe Plate is a 270mm porcelain dinner plate finished in a warm, muted ash tone drawn from the Menu Shades collection. The coupe profile — broad, flat, and rimless — gives a clean presentation surface well suited to modern plating styles, where chefs want the food to be the focus rather than the crockery.
Porcelain at this gauge is a practical choice for busy table service. It handles the demands of daily restaurant use without the fragility of bone china, and the Caldera Ash glaze is consistent enough to maintain an even appearance across multiple covers. In a high-turnover environment, visual consistency across a table matters, and Churchill's manufacturing quality tends to hold up reliably over sustained service periods.
A few practical points worth noting for operators:
- Rimless coupe shape gives maximum usable plate surface for plating
- Caldera Ash colourway sits comfortably alongside neutral and earthy table linen
- Designed to mix and match with other Menu Shades colourways for varied table schemes
- Porcelain construction is suitable for commercial dishwashers
- Sold in packs of 6, which suits both initial purchase and topping up existing stock
These plates are best suited to restaurants, bistros, boutique hotels, and similar settings where presentation standards are high and a consistent, contemporary aesthetic is part of the dining experience. The 270mm size is a practical all-rounder for main courses. Operators needing larger presentation plates or smaller side plates will find alternative sizes within the Menu Shades range.
If you are building out a full table scheme across multiple colourways or need to match existing Menu Shades stock, our team is happy to talk through what works well together before you commit to quantities.
£26.71(£32.05 inc VAT)
These porcelain soup cups are part of Churchill's Art de Cuisine Menu range — a collection designed to present food cleanly and without distraction. The 280ml capacity is well suited to starter portions, amuse-bouche soups, and broth-style courses where a full bowl would feel out of proportion on the table.
In day-to-day service, porcelain of this type handles repeated dishwasher cycles reliably and retains heat reasonably well during plating and pass time. The cups are practical to stack and store, which matters when covers are high and turnaround between services is tight.
- Consistent shape supports neat, repeatable presentation across a full section
- Porcelain construction withstands commercial dishwasher use
- Compact 280ml size suits starter and amuse-bouche portions
- Sold in packs of 6 — straightforward to order in multiples to match cover counts
- White finish works across a range of table settings and plating styles
These cups are a sensible choice for restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms that want a clean, consistent look without committing to heavily styled tableware. If your operation runs high covers or you expect significant breakage replacement over time, it is worth considering whether ordering in larger quantities from the outset better suits your needs.
If you are building out a full table setting or matching across a range, the team is happy to help you work through what will sit well together.
