Araven

The Araven 2Ltr Service Jug is a straightforward, practical jug designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens and front-of-house service. Made from SAN (styrene acrylonitrile), it offers better clarity and impact resistance than standard polypropylene, making it easy to see fill levels at a glance. The rectangular profile with fitted lid suits refrigerator storage neatly, allowing efficient use of shelf space without spills or contamination risk.

In a working kitchen environment, jugs like this earn their keep across a wide range of tasks — storing cold sauces, dressings, infused waters, juices, or any liquid that needs to be prepped ahead of service and kept covered until needed. The lid helps maintain hygiene standards and reduces the risk of cross-contamination in a busy fridge, which matters during a full service shift when refrigerator doors are opening constantly.

• Rectangular shape sits flush against fridge shelving, minimising wasted space
• Fitted lid keeps contents covered and reduces contamination risk
• SAN construction offers good clarity for quick visual stock checks
• Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between services
• Lightweight at 380g, practical for frequent handling during service

At this size, the jug suits smaller prep volumes and individual service stations rather than bulk storage. Kitchens with higher throughput or bulk liquid storage requirements may find a larger-capacity jug more appropriate for their needs.

If you're unsure whether this size is right for your setup, or you're looking to kit out multiple stations with matching pieces, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to point you in the right direction.

This Araven GN 1/3 food storage container is a straightforward, practical storage solution for commercial kitchens. Made from ABS plastic and sized to the standard GN 1/3 footprint, it fits directly into refrigerators, cold prep units, and bain-marie setups designed around gastronorm dimensions. The blue colour coding helps kitchens maintain a consistent food safety system, typically assigned to raw fish in HACCP-based colour-coding schemes, though individual kitchen protocols vary.

In day-to-day service, containers like this are workhorses — used for prepped ingredients, portioned proteins, sauces, and mise en place. The ABS material handles a wide temperature range, making it suitable for cold storage as well as holding prepped items at ambient temperature during service. It is both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling time during turnaround between services.

• Blue colour coding supports HACCP food safety segregation systems
• GN 1/3 footprint fits standard refrigeration and bain-marie configurations
• ABS construction is dishwasher safe for efficient cleaning between services
• Supplied with lid, colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean identification label
• Suitable for cold storage and ambient prep use across a temperature range of -40°C to 90°C

One practical consideration: ABS is a solid, reliable material for general storage, but it is not suitable for direct oven use or prolonged high-heat applications. For operations needing containers that move from fridge to oven, polycarbonate or stainless GN pans would be more appropriate.

This container is well suited to any kitchen running a colour-coded food safety system and working to GN-based storage. It works equally well in small independent kitchens as in larger operations that standardise on GN sizing throughout. If you are equipping a full storage setup across multiple GN sizes and depths, it is worth considering your full range of requirements together — we are happy to help you work through what makes sense for your operation.

These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical food storage solution sized to the standard 1/2 GN footprint, making them compatible with most commercial refrigeration, bain maries, and prep counters. Supplied in a pack of four, each container is designed for the everyday demands of food prep, chilling, and short-term storage in a professional kitchen environment.

Polypropylene construction handles the temperature range that commercial kitchens routinely work across — from freezer storage through to hot-holding conditions — without warping or cracking. The material is robust enough for daily dishwasher cycles, and the smooth interior makes thorough cleaning straightforward, which matters when containers cycle through multiple food types during a service.

Each container comes with a set of colour-coding clips in four colours and a permanent, wipe-clean label panel. In a busy kitchen, this makes implementing a colour-coded allergen or food-type separation system simple without the need for additional labelling products.

• Colour-coding clips in red, yellow, green, and blue included with each unit
• Wipe-clean label panel for content identification and date rotation
• Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service cleaning
• Compatible with standard 1/2 GN refrigeration and storage systems
• Suitable for freezer use through to warm food storage conditions

As polypropylene containers rather than stainless steel, these are not suitable for direct oven or flame use. They are best placed in the prep, storage, and cold-side workflow rather than on the hot line. The pack-of-four format is a practical quantity for operations that need consistent stock across multiple sections or fridges.

Well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, school catering, and any operation looking to standardise food storage and rotation across a team. If your site uses a high volume of GN containers and you need deeper or larger capacities alongside these, our team can advise on complementary sizes within the Araven range.

Polypropylene is a well-established material for professional food storage. It handles the temperature swings common in busy operations — from blast chiller to ambient prep — without warping or degrading over time. The material resists odours and staining under typical commercial use, which supports hygiene standards with less effort between services.

Each container is supplied with colour-coding clips in four colours and a permanent wipe-clean label, supporting allergen management, HACCP food rotation, and cross-contamination controls without requiring separate labelling materials. In practice, this is useful in kitchens where multiple protein types or dietary requirements need to be clearly separated at a glance.

• Colour-coded clips for allergen segregation and food rotation compliance
• Wipe-clean label for repeated reuse without residue build-up
• Dishwasher safe for reliable end-of-service cleaning
• GN-compatible sizing fits standard refrigeration and prep units
• Wide temperature tolerance suits frozen, chilled, and ambient storage

There are no installation requirements. The containers are stackable and freestanding. They are well suited to kitchens of any scale, from small independents to high-volume operations. For tighter rack configurations, shallower or smaller GN formats may be more practical; deeper containers are available where bulk storage is the priority.

If you are planning a storage system and want to confirm which GN sizes and depths work best for your setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.

This is a straightforward, lightweight polypropylene mixing bowl intended for everyday food preparation tasks in a commercial kitchen. At one litre capacity, it sits at the smaller end of the mixing bowl range and is well suited to portioning, mixing small quantities, marinating, or holding prepped ingredients at a station.

Polypropylene is a practical choice for kitchen use. It handles boiling water without distorting, goes safely into the freezer for chilling down contents, and is microwave safe — useful when warming small amounts during service. At 90g it is light enough to handle easily, and the material is robust enough to withstand the daily wear of a busy prep environment.

From an operational standpoint, bowls like this tend to earn their place through sheer versatility:

• Compatible with commercial dishwashers, keeping cleaning straightforward
• Safe for direct microwave use without transferring to another vessel
• Handles boiling water, so suitable for direct-pour tasks during prep
• Freezer safe for chilling contents without needing a separate container
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive prep work

There are no installation requirements to consider here. Stack storage is easy given the weight and profile. It is worth noting that at one litre, this bowl is best suited to smaller prep tasks — kitchens requiring larger batch mixing volumes should look at higher-capacity options in the same range.

This bowl is a practical choice for any commercial kitchen needing reliable, multi-purpose prep bowls that hold up to daily dishwasher cycles. It suits cafés, hotels, restaurants, and contract catering environments alike.

If you are building out a prep kit and want to discuss quantities or sizes across the range, the team is happy to help.

The Araven mobile food storage bin is a straightforward, practical storage solution designed for busy commercial kitchens. Made from polypropylene, it is built to handle the rigours of day-to-day food storage, from ambient dry goods through to frozen produce, and is rated to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C, making it well suited to blast chilling and deep-freeze environments.

In a working kitchen, reliable food storage is about more than just capacity. These bins are designed to nest and stack securely, which matters when floor and shelf space is under pressure during a busy service. The mobile design allows stock to be moved around the kitchen — between prep areas, cold rooms, and dry stores — without unnecessary lifting or decanting. The included lid keeps contents protected and helps maintain food hygiene standards between preparation stages.

Each bin is supplied with two sets of four colour-coded clips in red, yellow, green, and blue. This supports allergen management and cross-contamination control procedures, allowing kitchens to implement a straightforward colour-coding system across their storage without additional investment.

It holds four circular stainless steel trays, each with a raised edge and a black PVC non-slip coating, sitting within a GN 2/3 footprint container that seals securely to protect contents from odour transfer and contamination.

In a busy kitchen, egg storage is often an afterthought until breakages, cross-contamination, or poor stock rotation become a problem. This container addresses that directly — eggs are held individually in formed trays, reducing movement and breakage during handling, and the airtight lid keeps the contents protected during refrigerated storage. The stainless steel trays are robust enough to withstand daily use and easy to clean thoroughly at the end of service.

Practical benefits for day-to-day kitchen operation include:

• Airtight seal prevents odour transfer to surrounding refrigerated stock
• Individual egg seating reduces breakage during storage and handling
• GN 2/3 footprint integrates with standard fridge shelving and gastronorm systems
• Stainless steel trays are hygienic, durable, and straightforward to clean
• Temperature rating suits both refrigerated storage and ambient preparation areas

No installation requirements apply — this is a standalone storage solution. It fits directly into any GN 2/3-compatible refrigerator shelf or cold prep unit. The container's temperature rating of -40°C to 95°C makes it suitable across cold storage and ambient kitchen conditions, though it is not intended for cooking or heat applications. For kitchens with very high egg throughput, a larger-capacity storage solution may be worth considering.

This container suits any commercial kitchen handling fresh eggs regularly — from hotel breakfast operations and café kitchens to pub and restaurant prep areas. If you're looking to standardise egg storage across multiple units or need guidance on fitting this into an existing gastronorm system, the team is happy to help.

This Araven ingredient bin is a straightforward, practical storage container sized to the standard 1/1 gastronorm footprint, with a 50-litre capacity suited to storing dry goods, prepped ingredients, or bulk foodstuffs in a busy kitchen environment. Made from BPA-free polypropylene, it is fully food-safe and built to handle the kind of daily use that commercial kitchens put through their storage equipment.

The clear body means staff can identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid — a small but useful advantage during a busy service when speed matters. The wide opening gives good access for scooping or portioning, and the large lid keeps contents covered and protected between uses. The container is designed to work across different kitchen zones, including ambient storage areas, cold rooms, and freezer use, making it adaptable to how your operation is set up.

A few practical advantages worth noting:

• Colour-coded clips allow food separation by type, supporting allergen and cross-contamination controls
• The 1/1 GN format fits standard shelving and racking systems already in most commercial kitchens
• Lightweight enough for easy handling when full or when cleaning
• Polypropylene construction resists odour absorption and cleans down quickly
• Suitable for use from freezer to ambient storage without material degradation

At 50 litres, this bin is a reasonable size for moderate-volume prep and ingredient storage. Sites with higher throughput or larger batch preparation may find they need multiple units or a larger-capacity format to keep pace with demand. It stacks efficiently when empty, which helps with storage when not in use.

This bin is well suited to any commercial kitchen needing reliable, food-safe dry or prepped ingredient storage — from small independents to larger operations using it as a secondary container alongside higher-volume storage solutions. If you are unsure whether this size fits your workflow, or want to talk through how best to organise your ingredient storage, we are happy to help.

This Araven GN 1/4 container is a straightforward, practical storage solution made from ABS plastic and sized to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration, prep tables, and bain-marie frames. The blue colour coding makes it well suited to allergen management or food rotation systems where quick visual identification of contents matters at a glance.

In day-to-day kitchen use, colour-coded containers like this one help reduce cross-contamination risk and support HACCP compliance without adding complexity to the workflow. Staff can identify the correct container quickly during busy service periods, which is where small organisational details tend to matter most.

• Colour-coded blue finish supports allergen control and food rotation systems
• GN 1/4 footprint fits standard refrigeration, cold wells, and prep table inserts
• ABS construction is dishwasher safe and resists warping under regular use
• Wide temperature tolerance makes it suitable from freezer storage through to moderate oven use
• Supplied with a lid and colour-coded clips for secure stacking and sealing

ABS plastic is generally robust in commercial kitchen environments, though it is worth noting it is not suited to high-heat applications such as direct oven use at temperatures above its rated range. The 65mm depth makes this a relatively shallow container, practical for portioned garnishes, sauces, or prepped ingredients rather than bulk storage.

This container is a sensible choice for any kitchen operating a colour-coded storage or allergen management system. Sites needing greater capacity or deeper storage will find larger GN formats in the range more appropriate for bulk prep or service quantities.

If you are building out a full colour-coded system or are unsure which sizes and depths best suit your workflow, the team is happy to help you put together a practical set.

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.

These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical storage solution for commercial kitchens needing reliable, organised food holding across fridge, cold room, and prep environments. Supplied as a pack of four, they are sized to the standard 1/2 GN format, making them compatible with the majority of refrigerated prep counters, gastronorm shelving, and storage racks already in use in most professional kitchens.

Polypropylene is a well-proven material for food storage containers in commercial use. It handles the temperature range common in professional cold storage without warping or becoming brittle, and it resists the staining and odour absorption that cheaper plastics can suffer over repeated service cycles. The containers are dishwasher safe, which matters in kitchens where manual cleaning time is limited during a busy service.

The colour-coding system is one of the more operationally useful features here. Each pack includes sets of colour clips in red, yellow, green, and blue, allowing kitchens to implement or extend a colour-coded allergen or ingredient separation system without additional labelling costs. A permanent wipe-clean label is fixed to each container, keeping identification legible through repeated washing cycles.

• Colour-coded lids and clips support allergen separation and ingredient organisation
• Permanent wipe-clean label withstands repeated dishwasher cycles
• Compatible with standard gastronorm shelving and refrigerated prep counters
• Suitable for fridge, cold room, and prep area storage
• Airtight lid design helps maintain freshness and reduce cross-contamination risk

These containers are well suited to smaller kitchens, cafés, and delis as an everyday storage staple, and equally practical as supplementary storage in larger operations. If your site requires a significantly higher storage volume per container or a deeper GN configuration, there are alternative sizes in the range worth considering.

If you are building out a colour-coded storage system or are unsure which GN configuration best fits your existing shelving setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This is a large-format polypropylene food storage container from Araven, designed for bulk ingredient storage in commercial kitchens. At 70 litres it sits at the larger end of the Araven range, and at this size the container is fitted with wheels — a practical detail that makes a meaningful difference when you are moving it between a walk-in refrigerator, a dry store, and a prep station across a busy shift.

In practice, containers of this size are commonly used for bulk dry goods, prepped vegetables, marinated proteins, or batch items held ahead of service. The wheeled base reduces manual handling and the risk of spillage during those movements, which matters when the container is fully loaded. The built-in ventilation is integrated into the design rather than added as a separate component, and the lid system is straightforward to open and reseal during service.

The container comes supplied with four pairs of colour-coded identification clips in red, yellow, green, and blue. In a working kitchen, these support allergen management and food rotation procedures by allowing teams to identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid. Each colour can be assigned consistently to a food group or storage category, which is a small but genuinely useful detail in fast-moving prep environments.

• Colour-coded clips aid allergen separation and food labelling protocols
• Wheeled base reduces manual handling across multiple storage areas
• Built-in ventilation integrated into the lid design
• Stackable format supports efficient use of cold or dry storage space
• Smooth internal surfaces make cleaning between uses straightforward

This container suits medium to large operations with significant batch preparation or bulk storage requirements. Kitchens with lighter storage needs, or those with limited floor space, may find a smaller capacity from the same range a better fit. If you are working through your storage layout or allergen workflow and want a second opinion, we are happy to help before you commit.

This is a replacement or additional lid for Araven's GN 1/2 airtight food storage containers, made from ABS plastic and colour-coded in blue. The blue designation supports a colour-coded labelling system, helping kitchen teams identify contents and manage food rotation quickly during busy service periods — a straightforward but genuinely useful feature in any kitchen running HACCP-based procedures.

The lid is designed to work with Araven's corresponding GN 1/2 airtight containers, sealing with a set of colour-coded clips to help maintain freshness and prevent cross-contamination in refrigerated storage. The ABS construction is robust enough for daily commercial use and handles temperatures from well below freezing up to 90°C, making it suitable for use across cold storage and light heat applications. It is both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling time during turnaround.

• Colour-coded blue for quick visual identification and food rotation
• Compatible with Araven GN 1/2 airtight clip-seal containers
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning
• Suitable for refrigerated and ambient storage environments
• Wipe-clean label area supports HACCP and date-marking requirements

This lid is a practical addition for kitchens that are already running Araven GN 1/2 containers, or for operations setting up a colour-coded storage system from scratch. If you are unsure which containers or clip sets to pair with this lid, or need guidance on building out a full colour-coded storage setup, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

These Araven polypropylene containers are made to the standard 1/9 gastronorm format, fitting directly into GN-compatible bains-marie, cold wells, and prep stations. Each container holds 1 litre and is supplied with an airtight lid, making them suitable for portioning, short-term storage, and organised mise en place on the pass or in the fridge.

In a working kitchen, the practical detail that makes these containers genuinely useful is the included colour-coding clip system. Each pack comes with clips in four colours alongside a permanent wipe-clean label, which allows teams to implement straightforward food rotation and allergen separation without relying on tape or handwritten labels that fail wash cycles. The polypropylene construction handles repeated dishwasher cycles without warping or discolouration under normal service conditions.

Key operational benefits include:

• Airtight lid reduces cross-contamination risk during cold storage
• Colour-coding clips support allergen management and food rotation
• Wide temperature tolerance suits use from freezer storage through to hot-hold service
• Standard GN format drops into existing bain-marie and prep station inserts
• Dishwasher safe, with wipe-clean labels that survive repeated cleaning

There are no installation requirements — these are standalone containers. They are not designed for prolonged high-temperature holding and should not be used directly over heat sources. The 1/9 format is a smaller division, well suited to condiments, garnishes, sauces, and portioned prep rather than bulk storage.

These containers suit most commercial kitchen environments — from small cafés to larger operations needing standardised prep storage. For sites requiring larger capacities or deeper GN formats, broader options are available within the range.

If you have questions about which GN sizes or quantities work best for your setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.
