£44.15(£52.98 inc VAT)
This APS polycarbonate cover is designed to fit standard 1/1 gastronorm trays and platters, providing a straightforward protective lid for use across buffet service, food preparation, and cold storage applications. Made from polycarbonate, it offers the clarity of glass with considerably more resistance to knocks and drops in a working kitchen environment.
In practice, covers like this earn their place on buffet counters and prep benches where food needs to be kept clean and presentable between service periods. The stackable design means multiple units store neatly without taking up unnecessary space — a practical consideration in kitchens where storage is always at a premium.
- Fits standard 1/1 GN trays and platters without modification
- Polycarbonate construction resists cracking and chipping under daily use
- Stackable profile reduces storage footprint between services
- Clear material allows food to be identified without lifting the cover
- Suitable for buffet display, cold holding, and general food protection
It is worth confirming the depth of the tray or platter you intend to cover, as the cover's internal clearance will determine whether it sits flush or requires a slight overhang. This cover is sold singly, so quantities can be matched to your actual service requirements.
Well suited to hotels, function caterers, and restaurant buffet operations running standard GN equipment. If your operation uses deeper display pieces or requires a tighter seal for transport, it is worth discussing alternatives before ordering. The team is happy to help confirm the right fit for your setup.
£14.70(£17.64 inc VAT)
This clear presentation cover from Pujadas is a straightforward piece of buffet and display equipment designed to keep food visible while protecting it from contamination, handling, and the environment during service. The 270mm size makes it a practical fit for individual items, small platters, or cake and pastry displays where you want to maintain presentation standards without obscuring what's on offer.
In catering environments — whether that's a hotel breakfast buffet, a hospitality counter, or an event catering setup — covers like this earn their place by keeping displayed food looking fresh and reducing unnecessary handling by guests. The clear construction means staff can monitor food condition and stock levels at a glance without lifting the cover repeatedly.
- Clear material keeps displayed items fully visible to guests and staff
- Protects food from handling, airborne contamination, and heat loss during service
- Compatible with Pujadas buffet and display systems for layered, tiered arrangements
- Practical shape suits cakes, pastries, cold starters, and individual plated items
- Easy to clean between services and straightforward to store or transport
There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone display item. It is worth considering whether the 270mm diameter suits the platters or boards you're working with; Pujadas produce covers in other sizes if a larger or smaller footprint is needed for your display layout.
This cover is well suited to caterers, hotels, and event venues that run buffet or counter service and want a clean, consistent presentation without significant investment. If you're building out a full buffet display system or need to match covers to specific Pujadas bases or risers, it's worth a conversation with us to make sure the sizing and combinations work together before you order.
£2.96(£3.55 inc VAT)
The APS Frida cover is a compact food dome designed to protect displayed items on buffet counters, cake stands, and serving stations. Made from SAN — a clear, rigid plastic commonly used in food service environments — it provides a clean, unobstructed view of the food beneath while keeping it covered between service periods.
In practical terms, a cover like this earns its place by reducing contamination risk and slowing moisture loss during display periods. It is well suited to patisserie, cold buffet items, and light cold savoury portions where presentation matters and hygiene standards must be maintained.
- Clear SAN construction keeps displayed items visible without removing the cover
- Lightweight at 70g, easy for front-of-house staff to handle during service
- Suitable for buffet counters, cake stands, and cold display trays
- Low-profile dome fits neatly over individual portions or small platters
There are no installation requirements — this is a self-contained serving accessory. It is worth confirming the base diameter of your existing display plates or stands before ordering, as Frida covers are available in a range of sizes to suit different setups. If you are equipping a larger display run or need a different profile, it is worth checking which size works best across your specific service layout.
This cover is best suited to cafes, hotels, patisseries, and hospitality venues running cold buffet or cake display counters. It is not intended for use over hot food or heated display equipment.
If you are putting together a full display setup and want to make sure the sizing works across your counters, we are happy to help you choose the right combination.
£16.13(£19.36 inc VAT)
This revolving cake stand from Olympia is a straightforward, practical piece of display kit made from mango wood. The natural grain and warm tone of the wood makes it well suited to counter and buffet presentation where a more considered aesthetic matters — cafés, patisseries, hotel dining rooms, and similar front-of-house environments. The rotating base allows the stand to be turned smoothly through 360 degrees, which is useful both when decorating and when presenting to customers.
In day-to-day use, the revolving action makes it noticeably easier to apply icing, fondant, or garnishes evenly without repositioning the cake by hand. At the counter or buffet station, it lets guests or staff view all sides of a cake without handling it or disturbing the display. The mango wood construction is reasonably robust for a display item of this type, though it is intended for front-of-house presentation rather than heavy prep work.
- Smooth rotating base for all-angle access during decoration and service
- Mango wood finish suits natural or artisan-style counter displays
- Suitable for decorating, plating, and counter presentation
- Easy to wipe down between uses for basic hygiene maintenance
- Compact footprint suits busy counter and buffet surfaces
As a wooden item, it should be hand-washed rather than put through a dishwasher, and it should not be left standing in water. It is not suitable for use in high-moisture prep environments or for supporting very large, tiered cakes. If your operation requires multiple stands for a busy buffet line or a higher-volume patisserie display, it is worth considering how many units you need before ordering.
If you are unsure whether this stand suits your specific display setup or service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
£22.43(£26.92 inc VAT)
This APS+ tray cover is a straightforward, practical solution for protecting cakes, pastries and baked goods during display service. Made from crystal-clear polystyrol, it sits over a 350mm tray and allows guests to see the contents at a glance without the cover needing to be lifted. That matters during busy service periods, when repeatedly removing and replacing a cover exposes product to air and handling, accelerating staleness.
In buffet and counter display settings, the difference between covered and uncovered pastries over a two-hour service period is noticeable — particularly in warmer environments or where there is airflow from ventilation. A well-fitted cover maintains presentation quality and reduces waste by extending how long displayed items remain at their best.
- Crystal-clear material keeps product visible without removing the cover
- Suitable for cakes, pastries, baked goods and ambient cold display items
- Compatible with commercial dishwashers for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Lightweight enough for front-of-house handling without adding bulk to a display setup
It is worth checking tray compatibility before ordering — this cover is sized for 350mm trays and will not fit larger formats. For operations running multiple tray sizes across a buffet line, it is sensible to confirm the correct size across the range before purchasing in quantity.
This cover is well suited to hotels, cafés, patisseries, and hospitality operations running ambient bakery displays. It is a simple, reliable piece of kit rather than a specialist item, but getting the sizing right first time avoids unnecessary returns. If you are unsure which cover suits your existing tray setup, the team are happy to help.
£27.93(£33.52 inc VAT)
The APS Pure Rolltop Serving Plate Cover is a clear plastic dome designed to protect and present food on buffet and display counters. The rolltop profile and straight outer edges give it a clean, structured appearance that suits both formal and informal service settings. At 380mm in diameter, it fits comfortably over most standard serving plates and platters used in buffet displays.
In practice, this type of cover earns its place on busy buffet lines by keeping food protected between service intervals, reducing contamination risk and maintaining presentation standards without requiring constant staff attention. The clear material allows guests to see the food clearly, which supports self-service flow and reduces unnecessary handling.
- Clear construction keeps food visible without removing the cover
- Straight outer edges and rolltop profile create a tidy, consistent display
- Dishwasher safe, which simplifies turnaround between services
- Compatible with serving stands for tiered or elevated display arrangements
- Plastic construction is lightweight and practical for front-of-house use
It is worth noting that this is a presentation cover rather than an insulated one — it will not maintain temperature. For hot or cold food that needs to stay at a specific temperature during extended service, a heated or chilled display solution would be more appropriate. This cover is best suited to ambient or room-temperature foods, or situations where food is refreshed frequently.
Well suited to hotels, event caterers, restaurants running buffet service, and hospitality venues where presentation consistency matters. If you need covers in larger or smaller diameters, or require a model with insulating properties, it is worth discussing your service format with us before ordering.
If you are putting together a buffet display and want to make sure the covers, stands, and platters work well together, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you plan a cohesive setup.
£28.59(£34.31 inc VAT)
This three-tier display stand from Olympia is made from acacia wood and intended for front-of-house use at buffets, afternoon tea services, cake displays, and similar hospitality settings. The stacked tiered design creates useful vertical presentation space without taking up a large footprint on a buffet table or counter.
Acacia is a reasonably hard-wearing timber that holds up well in regular hospitality use. The natural grain and warm tone of the wood read well against linen, slate, or plain white crockery, making it a practical choice where operators want to move away from chrome or white melamine display risers without introducing something that looks contrived.
From an operational standpoint, the stand offers a few straightforward advantages:
- Tiered layout displays multiple items at once without crowding the table
- Compact footprint keeps buffet layouts organised
- Natural acacia finish suits informal and formal service styles
- Wipes down easily between services
- Quick to assemble, requiring no tools
There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding display accessory. It is worth noting that acacia, like all natural wood, should not be left submerged in water or run through a commercial dishwasher repeatedly, as this will cause the wood to dry out and crack over time. Wiping down with a damp cloth after each service is the recommended approach.
This stand suits cafés, hotel breakfast and afternoon tea services, wedding and events catering, and smaller restaurant buffet counters. It is best suited to lighter display use — pastries, small cakes, fruit, and similar items — rather than heavy or wet food. Operations running high-volume buffets or outdoor events may want to consider a more robust alternative in a different material.
If you are putting together a buffet display scheme and want to talk through what will work best for your service style, the team is happy to help.
£11.44(£13.73 inc VAT)
This acrylic dome lid is designed to pair with the APS rotating lazy susan cake stand, providing a cover to protect displayed cakes, pastries, and desserts during buffet or counter service. The lid is sold separately from the stand itself, which is worth noting if you are purchasing a complete display setup for the first time.
In a buffet or patisserie environment, keeping displayed items covered until service — and between service periods — helps maintain freshness, limits contamination from handling, and keeps presentation looking clean throughout a sitting. The clear acrylic construction allows guests and staff to see the contents without needing to lift the cover.
The lid is well suited to lighter-use settings such as hotel breakfast service, café counter display, or event catering where a rotating cake stand is used to present sliced cakes or individual pastries. The acrylic material is lightweight at 250g and straightforward to wipe down between uses, which suits fast turnaround between sittings.
It is worth bearing in mind that the lid accommodates foods up to a certain height, so taller gateaux or tiered items may not fit comfortably. If you are displaying particularly tall confections, it is worth checking the clearance against your product before ordering.
If you are building out a full buffet display and are unsure whether this lid is the right fit for your current stand, or if you need guidance on compatible components, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£3.15(£3.78 inc VAT)
The APS Frida square cover is a compact food cover designed for buffet counters, café displays, and self-service presentations. Made from SAN — a clear, rigid plastic — it sits over plated items or small serving dishes to protect food from handling and environmental contamination while keeping the display visible to guests.
At this size, the cover is well suited to individual portions, small cakes, pastries, or condiment arrangements. SAN is a practical material choice for catering use: it offers good clarity without the brittleness of standard acrylic, and it holds up reasonably well to regular handling in a busy front-of-house setting. At 80g, it is light enough to handle easily during service but substantial enough to sit stably on a flat surface.
In practical terms, covers like this help operators maintain food presentation standards across a service period without the need for constant staff attention. Keeping items covered also supports hygiene compliance on open displays, which is increasingly expected in both hospitality and food retail environments.
There are no installation requirements — the cover simply places over the food item or dish. It is worth confirming the footprint suits your serving pieces before ordering, as the Frida range is available in other sizes and shapes if a different format would serve your display layout better.
If you are fitting out a new buffet counter or refreshing a café display and want to talk through which sizes and configurations would work best for your setup, the team is happy to help.
£5.66(£6.79 inc VAT)
This plastic dome lid is designed to fit the APS Pure round cake platter range, providing a straightforward cover solution for displayed baked goods, pastries, and cold desserts during buffet and self-service periods. The lid sits cleanly over the platter, keeping contents protected from handling, dust, and ambient contamination without obscuring the display.
In a buffet or hospitality setting, having a reliable cover to hand between service periods is a practical necessity. This lid allows operators to pre-set displays, keep products fresh ahead of service, and maintain a presentable counter even during quieter periods. The transparent plastic construction means guests and staff can see the contents without lifting the cover.
- Fits APS Pure round cake platters in the compatible size range
- Transparent plastic keeps contents visible while covered
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Lightweight at 430g — easy to handle in a busy service environment
- Straight-edged profile matches the APS Pure platter aesthetic
There are no installation requirements. The lid is a standalone accessory and requires only the compatible APS Pure platter to function as intended. It is worth confirming platter compatibility before ordering, as the APS Pure range includes several platter sizes and not all lids are interchangeable across the full range.
This lid is well suited to hotel buffets, café counters, event catering, and any operation where covered cake and pastry display is part of the service offer. For larger display platters or more substantial cover requirements, other sizes within the APS Pure range may be more appropriate.
If you're building out a full buffet display and want to check compatibility with your existing APS Pure platters, we're happy to help you select the right components.
£3.15(£3.78 inc VAT)
The APS Frida cover is a compact, clear display dome designed to protect food items on buffet counters, cake stands, and service counters. At 130mm in diameter, it suits smaller individual portions, pastries, or individual cake slices where presentation and freshness both matter.
Made from SAN — a durable, food-safe plastic — the Frida cover offers reasonable clarity and everyday resilience without the fragility of glass. In a busy buffet or hospitality setting, covers like this take regular handling, and SAN holds up well under normal service conditions without clouding quickly or cracking under light impact.
For front-of-house teams, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Keeps displayed food fresh and protected between service periods
- Clear material allows guests to view contents without lifting the cover
- Lightweight at 40g — easy to handle and reposition during service
- Suitable for regular hand-washing as part of normal cleaning routines
- Consistent aesthetic across buffet and display layouts when used as a set
This is a compact cover suited to smaller display items. If your buffet includes larger gateaux, full cake tiers, or oversized pastry displays, APS offer the Frida range in additional sizes that may be a better fit for those items.
If you're equipping a full buffet counter or want to ensure you're selecting the right sizes across a range of display items, we're happy to help you work through the options.
£4.76(£5.71 inc VAT)
The APS Moon Hinged Cover is a compact dome lid designed for use with compatible buffet display stands and cake presentations. Made from SAN — a clear, impact-resistant plastic — it provides a practical protective cover for front-of-house displays, keeping food items clean and presentation-ready during service.
At 160mm in diameter and weighing just 70g, this is a lightweight, easy-handling piece suited to countertop and buffet table use. The hinged design allows guests or staff to access items without fully removing the cover, which helps maintain a tidy display and keeps service flowing smoothly. SAN offers reasonable clarity and durability for hospitality use, holding up well in everyday front-of-house conditions.
Typical uses include covering individual cake portions, pastries, or cold buffet items at counters, hotel breakfast stations, café displays, and event catering setups. It is not intended for hot-holding or high-temperature environments.
If your operation requires larger covers for sharing platters or tiered displays, APS produce a broader range of dome and cover sizes that may be a better fit. For high-volume buffet lines, it is worth considering how many covers you'll need in rotation to keep the display consistent throughout service.
If you're building out a buffet or display counter and want to make sure covers, stands, and risers all work together, feel free to get in touch — it's an easy thing to get wrong when ordering piecemeal.
£21.99(£26.39 inc VAT)
The APS Pure cake platter is a round melamine serving plate designed for buffet counters, cake displays, and front-of-house presentation. At 310mm in diameter, it offers a practical surface for whole cakes, tray bakes, or other portioned items that benefit from a clean, uncluttered display.
Melamine is a well-established material in commercial catering for good reason. It holds its appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles, resists chipping better than ceramic equivalents, and is noticeably lighter to handle during service. The white finish provides a neutral backdrop that works across a range of food types without competing with presentation.
In practical terms, this platter works well as part of a tiered or multi-level buffet layout. It is designed to be used with compatible display stands from the APS Pure range, allowing operators to build structured displays that make efficient use of counter space. Key practical points include:
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Melamine construction reduces breakage risk compared to ceramic
- Straight outer edges and clean corner detail suit contemporary display styles
- Lightweight at 775g, reducing handling strain during frequent resets
- Compatible with APS Pure display stands for tiered buffet builds
This platter suits cafés, hotel buffets, event caterers, and any operation where cake or pastry display is a regular part of service. It is a single platter — a lid is available separately if covering between service periods is required. For operations needing larger display surfaces or higher-volume coverage, wider format platters are available within the range.
If you are building out a full buffet display and want guidance on combining platters and stands effectively, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£2.96(£3.55 inc VAT)
The APS Frida Cover is a small-format food dome designed for use in buffet, dessert, and counter display settings. Made from SAN — a clear, rigid plastic — the cover fits over individual portions or small items to keep them protected from the surrounding environment during service.
In practical terms, this type of cover is most useful where food is displayed openly for any length of time: hotel breakfast stations, afternoon tea service, patisserie counters, and self-service buffet lines. It helps maintain presentation and reduces surface exposure between replenishment rounds.
- Clear SAN construction allows easy visual identification of covered items
- Lightweight at 20g — simple to lift, replace, and transport in quantity
- Suited to individual portion sizes at the 90mm diameter
- Resistant to the everyday knocks of counter service
- Part of the wider Frida range, allowing consistent presentation across display sizes
At 90mm, this cover is sized for individual pastries, slices, or small plates rather than full platters. It is not intended for hot-holding and should not be used over heated surfaces. SAN is dishwasher-safe under normal commercial conditions, though repeated high-temperature cycles over time may affect clarity.
This cover suits operators running open food displays where hygiene and presentation are both considerations — cafés, hotel dining, event catering, and similar environments. For larger display items or platters, the Frida range includes bigger format options.
If you are fitting out a full display counter and want to make sure you have the right sizes for your portions and layout, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£23.33(£28.00 inc VAT)
This clear cover is designed specifically to fit the APS+ bakery tray, providing a close-fitting lid that keeps displayed food protected during buffet and counter service. Made from polystyrol, it offers good clarity so that the contents remain fully visible without needing to lift the cover.
In a buffet or display setting, repeated exposure to air dries out baked goods and other food items quickly. A well-fitting cover slows that process noticeably, which matters particularly during longer service periods where presentation and food quality need to be maintained from the first guest to the last. Because the cover is transparent, guests can view what is on offer before serving themselves, reducing the number of times the lid needs to be lifted and keeping the display more hygienic.
- Helps retain moisture and freshness in baked goods during service
- Allows guests to view contents without removing the cover
- Fits directly onto the APS+ bakery tray for a secure, consistent display
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Lightweight and easy to handle in a busy service environment
The cover is dishwasher safe, which makes end-of-service turnaround straightforward in most commercial kitchens. It is a simple item, but worth confirming tray compatibility before ordering if you are working with a mixed range of APS display components.
This cover suits cafés, hotel buffets, bakeries, and any counter display setting where food protection and visual presentation matter during service. If you have questions about compatibility with other APS display pieces, the team is happy to help.
£11.33(£13.60 inc VAT)
This is a clear food presentation cover from Pujadas, sized at 220mm and intended for use across buffet counters, food display stations and catered events. It sits over plated or displayed items to protect them from handling and airborne contamination while keeping the contents fully visible to guests.
In a catering environment, presentation covers like this one do straightforward work — they keep food looking fresh and appetising from the start of service through to the final covers. The clear construction means guests can see what is on offer without the need to lift or move anything, which helps maintain display integrity and reduces unnecessary contact with food. For operators running buffet stations or display counters, that combination of visibility and protection is a practical requirement rather than an optional extra.
- Clear construction keeps displayed food visible without lifting the cover.
- Protects food from contact and airborne contamination during service.
- Lightweight and straightforward to handle, clean and store between services.
- Compatible with Pujadas buffet and display components for flexible layout combinations.
This cover is well suited to smaller individual display portions, cake stands, cheese boards or similar counter presentations. It is worth considering whether the 220mm diameter suits the platters or boards you intend to cover — Pujadas produce a range of cover sizes, so if your typical display pieces run larger, a bigger cover from the same range may be a better fit.
If you are putting together a buffet display system and want to make sure the covers, stands and risers work well together, the team are happy to help you work through the options.
£30.18(£36.22 inc VAT)
The Olympia Acacia Cake Stand is a straightforward wooden display stand designed for presenting cakes, pastries, and bakery products on counters, buffet tables, or café service points. Made from FSC 100% certified acacia wood, it offers a natural, warm aesthetic that sits well in a range of hospitality settings without requiring much effort to style.
Acacia is a reasonably hard-wearing timber that holds up well in front-of-house environments. It wipes down easily between services and, at just under a kilogram, is light enough to move around the counter or reset between sittings without any fuss. The raised profile gives displayed items a degree of prominence without dominating the counter.
- FSC 100% certified acacia wood construction
- Natural finish suits café, bakery, and hospitality counter displays
- Lightweight enough to reposition easily during service
- Wipes clean quickly between uses
- Works as a standalone display or as part of a tiered or grouped arrangement
This stand is well suited to smaller cafés, coffee shops, hotel breakfast counters, and buffet setups where a modest, individual cake or pastry display is needed. It is not intended for high-humidity environments or direct contact with wet food items, and like all wooden serveware it should be hand-washed rather than put through a commercial dishwasher. For operators needing a larger footprint or a covered display to protect product, alternatives with covers or greater surface area are worth considering.
If you are building out a display counter and want to talk through how to present product effectively, we are happy to help you find the right combination of stands and accessories.
£102.00(£122.40 inc VAT)
This three-tier cake stand from Artis is a straightforward display piece designed for café counters, restaurant buffet tables, and hospitality settings where presentation matters. Finished in an antique copper effect over a stainless steel construction, it offers a more characterful alternative to plain chrome or satin stands without being impractical in a working environment. Sold as a pack of two, it suits operators who need a consistent look across multiple display points.
In service, the stand earns its place on the counter by keeping cakes, pastries, and other plated items visible and accessible without taking up excessive footprint. The four-footed base sits stably on most counter surfaces, and the design accommodates a footed plate as well as other common plate sizes, which gives a degree of flexibility when dressing the display to match what is on the menu that day.
From an operational standpoint, the stainless steel construction means the stand holds up to regular handling and cleaning, and the copper finish, while decorative, does not require specialist maintenance — standard damp-cloth cleaning is sufficient between services.
- Consistent visual presentation across multiple display points when used as a pair
- Stable four-footed base reduces the risk of movement on busy counter surfaces
- Compatible with footed plates and a range of other plate sizes
- Stainless steel build supports regular cleaning without damage to structure
This stand is well suited to cafés, patisseries, hotel buffets, and restaurant dessert counters where a warm, vintage-style finish complements the setting. It is a display item rather than a high-volume service tool, so operators running very large buffets or high-turnover service may want to consider heavier-duty tiered display units designed for that purpose.
If you are unsure whether this stand suits your counter layout or display requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
£2.96(£3.55 inc VAT)
The APS Frida cover is a compact food dome designed for use on buffet counters, servery displays, and front-of-house food stations. Made from SAN — a durable, food-safe plastic with reasonable clarity — it sits over individual items or small portions to protect them from contamination and slow surface drying during service.
In a buffet or self-service setting, uncovered food degrades quickly: it dries out, picks up ambient odours, and presents a hygiene risk. A simple cover of this type addresses all three issues without any complexity. The Frida range is lightweight at 70g, which makes it easy to lift and reposition frequently during service without disrupting the display arrangement.
Practical benefits for front-of-house use include:
- Protects food from airborne contamination on open buffet counters
- Slows surface drying on pastries, cakes, and cold preparations
- Lightweight enough for frequent handling throughout service
- SAN construction resists cracking better than standard acrylic
- Consistent presentation across multiple covers on the same display
This size is well suited to individual cake slices, small pastries, amuse-bouche portions, or single-serve cold items on a counter display. It is not intended for hot-hold use or heated display units — this is a passive cover for ambient or chilled counter service only. For larger platters or sharing portions, other sizes within the Frida range may be more appropriate.
If you are unsure which size works best across your display layout, or need multiple covers in consistent sizing, the team is happy to talk through your setup before you order.
£102.00(£122.40 inc VAT)
This Artis 3-tier cake stand is a straightforward, well-made display stand finished in polished chrome. Sold in a pack of two, it is designed for front-of-house use in cafés, hotels, restaurants, and buffet settings where cakes, pastries, and similar items need to be presented attractively at table or counter level. The stand is constructed from stainless steel with a chrome finish, which keeps it looking clean and presentable through regular front-of-house use.
In practice, the tiered format allows operators to display a range of items across three levels without taking up excessive counter or table space — useful where surface area is limited during service. The four-footed base keeps the stand stable on a flat surface, reducing the risk of movement when guests are serving themselves or when items are being repositioned during service. The top tier is sized to accept a 240mm footed plate, and the open construction means other plate sizes can be accommodated with some flexibility.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Polished chrome finish shows fingerprints and smudges readily — regular wiping is needed to maintain presentation during service
- Best suited to static display rather than high-turnover self-service stations where knock risk is higher
- Sold as a pack of two, making it practical for venues equipping multiple tables or buffet sections simultaneously
- Stainless steel construction supports standard front-of-house cleaning routines
These stands are well suited to cafés, hotel dining rooms, afternoon tea services, and event catering where presentation is a priority. If you need stands for higher-volume or outdoor buffet environments, it is worth considering a more robust alternative. If you are unsure whether this stand suits your specific setup, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you choose the right option.
£20.18(£24.22 inc VAT)
This Olympia cake stand is turned from mango wood and provides a straightforward, natural-looking platform for displaying cakes, pastries, and baked goods at countertop or buffet level. The circular surface gives a practical footprint for a single-tier presentation, and the raised height lifts product off the counter to draw attention without requiring elaborate risers or props.
Mango wood is a reasonably dense hardwood that holds up well under regular café and bakery service conditions. It won't warp or mark as readily as lighter softwoods, and the natural grain gives each stand a slightly individual character, which tends to sit well with independent cafés, hotel breakfast buffets, and patisserie counters where presentation matters. It is worth noting that, as a natural wood product, it requires hand washing rather than dishwasher cleaning to maintain its finish over time.
- Natural mango wood construction with individual grain character
- Raised profile lifts product for clear counter-level visibility
- Well suited to cake, pastry, and baked goods display
- Hand wash only — maintains finish with straightforward care
- Practical choice for café counters, hotel buffets, and patisserie display
At just over a kilogram, it is light enough to reposition easily during service, which is useful when counter layouts need to shift between breakfast and afternoon service. The 330mm diameter comfortably accommodates a standard-sized celebration or gateau-style cake, though it is a single-stand piece rather than a tiered display unit.
This stand suits lower-volume display settings where a natural aesthetic is preferred. Operators running high-turnover buffet lines or needing to display multiple items simultaneously may want to consider a tiered or wider-format alternative from the same range.
If you are putting together a buffet or counter display scheme and want to talk through how this fits alongside other pieces, we are happy to help.

The APS Frames Rolltop Cover is a clear plastic lid designed to fit the 1/1 GN module within the APS Frames modular buffet system. Its primary function is straightforward: it covers a full-size GN base module to protect food on display whilst allowing guests to see the contents clearly, with a rolltop action that makes self-service access easy without removing the cover entirely.
In a buffet or banqueting environment, presentation and practicality need to work together. The Frames system is built around that principle — each element is designed to be mixed and matched, so operators can build a buffet layout that suits the occasion and the space available. This rolltop cover slots into that system, adding a hygienic barrier whilst keeping the display visible and accessible throughout service.
A few practical points worth noting for day-to-day use:
- Clear plastic construction keeps food visible without lifting the cover
- Rolltop mechanism allows easy guest access during self-service
- Designed to sit over a 1/1 GN base module within the Frames range
- Easy-grip edges make handling straightforward, even during a busy turnaround
- Stackable for compact storage between events
This cover is the rolltop lid only. It is intended for use with APS Frames base modules, which are sold separately. If you are building a complete Frames setup, it is worth confirming which base modules and accessories are needed before ordering individual components — the system has enough flexibility that it is easy to miss a piece.
The Frames rolltop cover suits contract caterers, hotel banqueting teams, and hospitality operators who run regular buffet services and want a consistent, presentable display system. It works equally well for cold or ambient food presentation. Operators running very high-volume or outdoor events may want to consider more substantial cover options.
If you are putting together a full Frames buffet setup and want to check you have the right components, we are happy to go through the range with you.
£23.81(£28.57 inc VAT)
The Olympia Kristallon cake stand is a melamine display stand designed for buffet counters, café counters, and front-of-house food presentation. It replicates the appearance of a porcelain stand while being considerably more practical in a busy hospitality setting, where breakages and chipping are a day-to-day reality with ceramic pieces.
Melamine handles the knocks and stacking that come with regular service use. Unlike porcelain or ceramic equivalents, this stand is resistant to chipping and cracking under normal handling, which matters when it is being moved, cleaned, and reset multiple times during a service. The temperature range accommodates both refrigerated display and moderately warm environments, so it can sit alongside cold pastries or room-temperature cakes without issue.
A few practical points worth noting for day-to-day use:
- Removable foot allows display height to be varied across a buffet run
- Dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Lightweight at under a kilogram, making it easy to reposition during service
- Consistent white finish suits most front-of-house display styles
- Suitable for scones, cakes, pastries, and similar buffet items
This stand suits cafés, hotel buffets, event catering, and hospitality venues where presentation matters but durability cannot be sacrificed. It is a single-tier stand — operators needing tiered or multi-level display solutions would be better served by a different product entirely. For high-volume buffet operations requiring a larger display surface, it is worth considering whether a wider stand would better suit the quantity of product being presented.
If you are building out a buffet display and want to talk through stand sizing or how to mix heights effectively, we are happy to help.
£22.43(£26.92 inc VAT)
This APS+ bakery tray cover is a straightforward, practical solution for protecting cakes, pastries, and similar items during display service. Made from crystal-clear SAN — a robust, food-safe plastic — it sits over a standard 235mm tray and allows customers to see the contents in full without requiring the lid to be lifted. That matters in a busy service environment where repeated handling accelerates how quickly baked goods dry out.
In practice, covers like this earn their place on bakery counters, café display runs, and buffet setups where presentation and freshness need to work together. The material is clear enough that products remain appetising to look at, and the cover does a reasonable job of slowing moisture loss between service periods.
- Crystal-clear SAN construction keeps contents visible without lifting the lid
- Helps slow staling during counter and buffet display service
- Safe for commercial dishwasher use, keeping turnaround straightforward
- Lightweight at 340g — easy to handle during service and changeover
There are no complex installation requirements here — the cover simply places over a compatible tray. The main practical consideration is ensuring your existing trays match the 235mm diameter. If you are purchasing trays and covers together, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering.
This cover suits cafés, bakeries, hotel buffets, and similar operations where individual portions or small displays are refreshed regularly. For larger-format display trays or higher-volume setups, a larger cover size is likely to be a better fit.
If you are unsure which size or format works best for your display setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£21.99(£26.39 inc VAT)
The APS Pure round cake platter is a straightforward melamine serving piece designed for displaying cakes, pastries, and confectionery in buffet, café, and hospitality settings. The 310mm diameter provides a practical footprint for a whole cake or an arranged selection of smaller items, and the black finish gives a clean, neutral presentation that suits most counter or buffet layouts.
Melamine is a sensible choice for food service display use. It is more resilient than ceramic or glass under busy conditions, resistant to chipping, and easy to wipe down between service periods. The platter's non-slip feet keep it stable on counter surfaces, which matters in busy or self-service environments where items are frequently placed and removed. The carved edge is designed to locate with the compatible plastic cover lid — sold separately — allowing food to remain protected during display without the need for cling film or improvised covers.
- Non-slip feet keep the platter steady on buffet counters and cake displays
- Carved edge allows the optional lid to seat cleanly for covered display
- Black melamine finish is easy to wipe clean between service periods
- Suitable for whole cakes, sliced confectionery, or arranged pastry selections
- Lightweight enough for front-of-house staff to handle without difficulty
This platter is best suited to cafés, hotel buffets, event caterers, and patisseries looking for a practical, consistent display piece. It is a single-tier flat platter — operators needing tiered or elevated display options will find alternatives in the broader range better suited to that purpose.
If you are putting together a display setup and want to make sure the platter and lid combination works for your specific counter arrangement, we are happy to talk it through.
£2.96(£3.55 inc VAT)
The APS Frida Square Cover is a compact, lightweight food cover designed for use on buffet lines, cake displays, and counter presentations. Made from SAN — a clear, rigid plastic material commonly used in food service environments — it provides a clean, transparent protective layer over small food items without obscuring the display beneath.
In a busy service environment, maintaining the presentation and condition of displayed food between replenishments matters. A cover like this helps protect against dust, handling, and ambient air exposure during service, which is particularly relevant for patisserie, confectionery, or delicate prepared items sitting on a counter or buffet station for any length of time.
- Clear SAN construction keeps displayed items visible to guests
- Lightweight at 50g — easy to handle during service without disrupting the display
- Square profile suits tray-format or tile-style buffet layouts
- Suitable for food contact use in catering environments
- Part of the wider Frida range, allowing consistent presentation across a display
This is a small-format cover and is best suited to individual portions, single cake slices, or compact display items. It is not intended for covering larger platters or full service dishes — for those applications, larger covers within the Frida range or alternative dome styles would be more appropriate.
If you are setting up a buffet or counter display and want to ensure the covers you select are a practical fit for your trays and presentation format, we are happy to assist with that.
£21.45(£25.74 inc VAT)
The Dalebrook Round Tray is a straightforward melamine serving and display tray designed for buffet presentation, cake display, and counter service. At 300mm in diameter, it provides a practical platform for individual cakes, pastries, or small platters, and is commonly used alongside a matching dome cover to protect displayed items between service periods.
Melamine is a well-established material in commercial catering for good reason. It holds up reliably under the day-to-day handling of busy service environments, resists staining better than many alternatives, and maintains a clean appearance over time without the fragility of ceramic or glassware. The tray is lightweight enough for easy repositioning on counters or display units, which suits cafés, hotels, and event catering setups where layouts are adjusted frequently.
- Durable melamine construction stands up to daily commercial handling
- Suitable for use with a matching clear dome cover (sold separately)
- Practical size for individual cake and pastry display
- Lightweight and easy to reposition during service
- Straightforward to wipe down and maintain between service periods
As a compact single-tier display piece, this tray is best suited to sites needing neat, low-cost presentation for individual items rather than high-volume buffet lines. For larger display requirements or tiered arrangements, there are alternative formats available within the range.
If you're putting together a display setup and want to check compatibility with dome covers or other Dalebrook pieces, the team are happy to help you get the right combination.
£28.60(£34.32 inc VAT)
The Dalebrook Loom cake dome is a clear acrylic cover designed for counter and buffet display use. It sits over a compatible Dalebrook melamine tray to protect cakes, pastries, and similar items during service, keeping them visible to customers whilst shielding them from handling and ambient contamination.
In practice, this type of dome is commonly used at café counters, hotel buffets, and hospitality grab-and-go points where presentation matters and food protection is a hygiene requirement. The clear acrylic construction gives customers a clear view of the product without the need to lift or handle the cover unnecessarily.
- Keeps displayed items protected without obscuring them from view
- Suitable for cakes, pastries, and similar counter-displayed food
- Straightforward to lift, wipe clean, and replace during service
- Works as part of a coordinated Dalebrook tray-and-dome display setup
It is worth noting that the tray is sold separately — this listing covers the dome only. If you are setting up a new display, you will need to ensure you have the correct Dalebrook compatible tray to pair with it. For larger display requirements, wider dome options are available within the Dalebrook range.
If you are unsure which size or configuration works best for your counter layout, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
£15.49(£18.59 inc VAT)
This is a three-tier wire afternoon tea stand designed to hold plates up to 210mm in diameter, commonly used for presenting sandwiches, cakes, and patisserie at table in a traditional tiered format. It is a straightforward serving piece with no moving parts — the wire frame holds three plates in a stacked arrangement at varying heights, making it practical for afternoon tea service, buffet tables, and light hospitality settings.
In a working hospitality environment, a stand like this earns its place by reducing table clutter and presenting food at height, which both improves visual presentation and frees up surface space during service. It is well suited to cafés, hotel lounges, tearoom counters, and private dining where afternoon tea menus are a regular offering rather than an occasional event. The wire construction keeps it lightweight and straightforward to store between services.
- Reduces table footprint by presenting multiple courses vertically
- Lightweight wire frame — easy to carry, stack, and store
- Compatible with standard side plates up to 210mm in diameter
- Suitable for both buffet display and seated table service
- Easy to wipe down between covers
It is worth confirming your plate diameter before ordering, as the 210mm capacity suits most standard side plates but will not accommodate larger dessert or dinner plates. Plates are not included. For operators running high-volume afternoon tea service with larger plates or heavier crockery, it is worth considering a more robust or wider-capacity alternative from the range.
If you are unsure whether this stand suits your plate size or service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options before you order.
£25.01(£30.01 inc VAT)
This glass dome from Olympia is designed to sit over a separate glass cake stand base, creating a traditional covered display suitable for cakes, pastries, scones, and similar counter or buffet items. The dome alone does not include a base, which is sold separately.
In a café, tea room, hotel lounge, or patisserie setting, a covered cake stand serves a practical purpose beyond presentation. It protects displayed items from ambient air, handling, and airborne contaminants during service, helping to maintain freshness and meet basic food hygiene expectations on open counters.
Glass is the appropriate material choice here — it keeps displayed items fully visible without obscuring them, is straightforward to clean between services, and holds up well in everyday front-of-house use without the yellowing or scratching that affects some plastic alternatives.
This dome is best suited to lower-volume display situations: a single featured cake, a small afternoon tea selection, or a counter display in a café or small hotel. It is not intended for high-throughput buffet environments where a sturdier or larger-format display solution would be more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your display setup, or whether a different configuration would work better for your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.
