The APS Valo two-tier wooden display tray is a compact buffet riser designed to add height and structure to a counter or buffet station. Constructed from oak wood, it presents a natural, warm aesthetic that works well in café, bistro, and restaurant environments where rustic or artisan presentation styles are appropriate. At just over two kilograms, it is light enough to reposition between services without effort.

The two-tier format allows operators to display multiple food items across two levels within a modest footprint, making better use of limited counter space during service. This is particularly useful at breakfast buffets, afternoon tea setups, or artisan bread and pastry displays, where presenting variety without sprawl across the counter is a practical concern.

• Two-tier design increases vertical display space without expanding counter footprint
• Oak construction gives a natural, warm appearance suited to informal dining settings
• Lightweight enough to move and reposition easily between service periods
• Solid build provides reliable day-to-day durability under regular buffet use
• Works well alongside other APS Valo wooden serving and display accessories

This is a non-electrical, surface-placed display item with no installation requirements. It needs no water, power, or fixings. Cleaning should be carried out in line with guidance for wooden food-contact items — avoid prolonged soaking or dishwasher use, as this can affect the integrity of the wood over time. It is not suited to hot or wet food service directly on the surface without appropriate liners or boards.

This display suits cafés, delis, hotel breakfast operations, and event caterers looking to add a considered, natural-material aesthetic to their buffet presentation. For operations needing a larger footprint or a different tier configuration, other formats within the APS Valo range may be worth considering.

If you are putting together a full buffet display and want to make sure the pieces work well together in your space, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Size: 140(H) x 430(W) x 290(D)mm 5 piece tray and cover set.

This APS roll top cover is a simple, practical solution for protecting and displaying chilled foods on a buffet counter. Designed to fit a standard 1/1 GN footprint, it sits directly over a gastronorm tray and provides a clear, hygienic barrier between food and the surrounding environment during service. The lift-off tray underneath is designed to hold freezer blocks, allowing operators to maintain a suitably cool environment for temperature-sensitive items such as cheese, cured meats, smoked fish and similar cold buffet fare — without the need for powered refrigeration at the point of display.

In practical terms, this cover is well suited to catered events, hotel breakfast and lunch buffets, and function catering where foods need to be presented attractively whilst remaining protected and adequately chilled. The plastic construction keeps the unit light and easy to handle, and the roll top design allows guests or service staff to access food without fully removing the cover.

• Keeps chilled buffet items protected and presentable during service
• Lift-off tray accommodates freezer blocks for passive cooling
• Fits standard 1/1 GN trays — straightforward to integrate into existing buffet setups
• Lightweight plastic construction makes it easy to transport and store
• Simple to clean down between services

It is worth noting that this cover relies on freezer blocks rather than active refrigeration, so it is best suited to shorter service periods or environments where ambient temperatures are well controlled. For extended service in warm conditions, a powered display unit would provide more consistent temperature management.

If you are unsure whether this cover suits the format of your buffet service or need advice on complementary display kit, we are happy to talk it through.

Compatible with T758 cooling tray Ideal to keep your food cold for a longer time, can be used in cool boxes and trays.

Size: 600(W) x 360(D)mm | 23 1/2 x 14 1/4" Stainless steel serving tray with chrome plated handles.

This APS stainless steel buffet tray is made to GN 1/1 dimensions, which means it sits neatly within standard gastronorm-compatible buffet risers, display stands, and chafing frames. The stacking design allows multiple trays to be stored compactly when not in use and presented cleanly during service without taking up unnecessary counter space.

In practice, these trays are commonly used at canapé receptions, cold buffet presentations, and formal hospitality events where a tidy, professional appearance matters. The stainless steel construction handles repeated handling, washing, and stacking without marking or warping, which makes it a practical choice for regular event use rather than occasional deployment.

• Fits standard GN 1/1 buffet and display frames
• Stacks efficiently for compact storage between service periods
• Stainless steel surface is straightforward to clean and maintain
• Suitable for both cold food display and decorative presentation use
• Consistent sizing supports a uniform look across multi-tray buffet setups

There are no installation requirements — these trays are ready to use and require no fixed infrastructure. The main practical consideration is confirming compatibility with your existing display stands or buffet risers before ordering, as GN 1/1 covers the full-size gastronorm footprint. If you are presenting across a larger buffet run, it is worth considering how many trays you will need to maintain a consistent layout without over-stretching your display equipment.

This tray suits hotels, event caterers, contract caterers, and hospitality venues that run regular buffet or reception service. If you need a different GN fraction to suit a smaller display setup, or are looking at options for hot-hold buffet service, it is worth having a conversation with the team to make sure the format fits your service style.

GN 2/4 Melamine platters designed to imitate oak wood. The durability and scratch resistance of the melamine make them an ideal choice for buffet presentation.

12()" These durable oak wood effect melamine paddle boards are great for food presentation and are both stackable and dishwasher safe.

This APS tray is a full GN 1/1 melamine serving and display piece finished in a slate effect that gives it a natural, stone-like appearance without the weight or fragility of real slate. It is commonly used for buffet presentation, cold display counters, and self-service stations where operators want a clean, contemporary look at a practical price point.

Melamine is a well-established material in commercial catering for exactly this type of application. It holds its appearance under regular use, resists moisture, and is straightforward to clean. The slate effect finish in particular tends to hide minor surface marks and water residue better than a gloss finish would, which matters during a busy buffet service when there is rarely time to wipe down between guests.

The chrome-plated handles serve a functional purpose beyond appearance — they allow trays to be stacked securely for storage or transport between prep areas and front-of-house, reducing the footprint when the trays are not in use.

• Slate effect finish suits contemporary buffet and display presentations
• Melamine construction handles regular commercial use reliably
• Chrome stacking handles allow compact, stable storage
• Full GN 1/1 footprint integrates with standard gastronorm systems
• Practical surface finish conceals minor marks during service

This tray is well suited to hotels, event caterers, pub restaurants, and any operation running a buffet or cold display where presentation matters but durability is equally important. It is a single-tray format; operators running large-scale buffet lines with high throughput may want to consider deeper or higher-capacity display options depending on the volume being served.

If you are building out a buffet display setup and want guidance on quantities, configurations, or compatible accessories, the team is happy to help you work through the practicalities.

The melamine build also makes this buffet tray dishwasher safe, enabling rapid cleaning.

GN 1/2 Marrying the beauty of wood with the durability of melamine, this GN 1/2 APS wood-effect melamine tray provides the perfect backdrop for your share platters and buffet food.

As such, this platter acts as the ideal canvas to present your cheeses, cured meats and bread in a more attractive way.

This APS wood-effect melamine tray is a full GN 1/1 serving and display piece designed for buffet counters, sharing boards, and food presentation in hospitality settings. The surface replicates a natural wood grain finish with waved edges, giving it a more considered, rustic appearance than standard flat trays — without the maintenance demands of real wood.

In a busy service environment, presentation consistency matters. Melamine holds its appearance well under regular use — it resists chipping and surface staining in a way that ceramic or natural wood cannot match at this price point. These trays are well suited to repetitive wash cycles, which makes them practical for buffet operations where turnaround between sittings is tight.

From a practical standpoint, the GN 1/1 format integrates neatly into standard buffet infrastructure — it sits comfortably within GN-compatible display systems and is straightforward to store and stack when not in use. Typical uses include:

• Cheese and charcuterie boards at carvery and buffet stations
• Bread and bakery display on breakfast and afternoon tea service
• Antipasti and sharing platters in casual dining and event catering
• Condiment and accompaniment presentation alongside main courses

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for use in microwave or conventional ovens, and is not intended for direct hot food service — it is a cold or ambient presentation piece. For venues with a high volume of covers, it is sensible to hold sufficient stock to allow rotation through the wash cycle without interruption to service.

This tray suits most hospitality environments from small independent restaurants to larger event catering operations. If your service volume or presentation scale calls for something different, there are alternative sizes and formats worth considering.

If you are putting together a buffet range or matching presentation pieces across a menu, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work through what will suit your service format.
