Araven
Araven Deep Food Tray 2.5 Ltr White SAN
£10.60(£12.72 inc VAT)
The Araven deep food tray is a straightforward, reusable serving and display tray made from SAN — a rigid, food-safe plastic that holds its shape and resists cracking under regular commercial use. At 2.5 litres capacity, it sits in the useful mid-range: large enough to hold a reasonable portion quantity, compact enough to fit neatly on a counter, trolley, or room service setup without taking up excessive space.
SAN construction means the tray handles the temperature range expected in a working kitchen environment, making it practical for use in chilled display counters as well as ambient buffet or service settings. It is not designed for oven or steam use, so it is best treated as a front-of-house or cold-side tool rather than a cooking vessel.
In day-to-day service, these trays are commonly used for:
- Buffet and self-service food display
- Portioned snacks, rolls, and finger food at bars or receptions
- Hotel room service amenity presentation
- Back-of-house ingredient portioning and prep staging
- Sandwich and deli counter display
At 260g, the tray is light enough to handle comfortably during busy service, and the white finish shows food presentation clearly without distraction. It is also recyclable at end of life, which suits operators working to reduce landfill waste from disposables.
These trays work well in hotels, cafés, conference catering, and any operation running a regular buffet or room service function. For sites needing a higher-volume display solution or a different format, there are larger and alternative-configuration options available in the Araven range.
If you are unsure which size or configuration suits your service setup, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions
Is this tray suitable for use in a refrigerated display counter?
Yes, the SAN material is suited to chilled environments, making it a practical choice for cold counters and chilled buffet displays. It is not intended for oven, microwave, or steam use, so it should be treated as a cold-side or ambient serving tray.
How does this tray hold up with frequent washing in a commercial dishwasher?
SAN trays from Araven are designed for repeated use in commercial settings, but as with most food-safe plastics, dishwasher compatibility should be confirmed against the manufacturer's guidance — particularly at high wash temperatures. For high-cycle operations, it is worth checking whether a polypropylene alternative would offer greater long-term durability.
Is a 2.5 litre tray the right size for a busy buffet or room service operation?
It depends on portion size and refresh frequency. For smaller covers or frequent top-ups, 2.5 litres works well. Higher-volume buffet operations or those looking to reduce replenishment frequency may find a larger format more practical — the Araven range includes alternative capacities if this size is not quite right for your setup.
