Cloches

This Steelite cloche is a 190mm cover designed to fit the AND0569, AND0132 and AND0101 plate ranges. It is a straightforward piece of tableware serving a practical purpose: keeping plated dishes covered and at temperature from pass to table, or across a buffet service.

In a busy service environment, cloches earn their keep by maintaining dish presentation and helping retain heat during the gap between plating and service. This model is well suited to table service in restaurants, hotels, and banqueting operations where consistent presentation matters. The fit is specific — it is designed to pair with the three plate references listed, which is worth confirming before ordering if you are working with a different base plate.

• Compatible with three named Steelite plate references for a reliable fit
• Helps retain dish temperature between plating and service
• Suitable for table service, banqueting, and buffet presentation
• Clean, understated aesthetic that works across formal and casual dining settings
• Part of the broader Steelite tableware range for consistent front-of-house presentation

At 3.9kg, this is a substantial piece. For operations running high covers or buffet lines requiring a large number of cloches, it is worth considering handling and storage logistics before committing to volume. If you are uncertain whether this cloche is the right fit for your plate selection or service style, our team is happy to help you check compatibility.

The APS slate butter dish with glass cloche is a compact presentation piece designed for table service and buffet settings. A natural slate base sits beneath a glass dome cover, offering a simple and clean way to present butter, soft cheeses, or similar accompaniments at the table or on a buffet counter.

In service, the slate provides a cool, stable surface that helps keep chilled items at a suitable temperature during short periods out of refrigeration. The glass cover protects the contents from contamination and keeps presentation tidy throughout service. Both components are fridge and freezer safe, which allows the dish to be pre-loaded and chilled ahead of service without any change of vessel.

• Natural slate base with a clean, unfussy appearance suited to most table settings
• Glass cloche protects contents and maintains presentation during service
• Fridge and freezer safe for straightforward pre-service preparation
• Compact footprint works well on table covers and buffet layouts with limited space
• Easy to clean between services with no complex components

Being a small, lightweight piece, there are no installation or utility requirements to consider. It is worth noting that slate is a natural material and will vary slightly in appearance between pieces, which is characteristic of the material rather than a defect.

This dish suits restaurants, hotels, and event caterers looking for a practical chilled accompaniment presentation without elaborate table dressing. It works well as part of a coordinated slate and glass tableware range. If you serve high volumes across a large number of covers, it is worth discussing quantities and alternatives with the team before ordering.

If you have questions about how this fits into your current table setup or buffet presentation, we are happy to help.

The Bia glass cloche is a straightforward, practical cover for displaying food at buffet stations, countertop service points, or plated dessert presentation. At 210mm in diameter, it sits comfortably over a standard dinner plate and provides a clean, hygienic barrier between prepared food and the surrounding environment.

In real service settings, glass cloches are commonly used to merchandise cakes, pastries, and confectionery without resorting to single-use packaging. The transparency keeps the food visible and appealing while preventing contamination from handling, ambient air, or passing staff. The 170mm height gives adequate clearance for most plated desserts and small cakes without the dome overwhelming the display.

Practically, this cloche offers a few advantages worth noting for front-of-house and buffet operations:

• Keeps displayed food hygienically covered between service periods
• Eliminates the need for cling film or disposable packaging on counter displays
• Glass construction is easy to wash by hand and shows soil quickly for prompt cleaning
• The 210mm diameter fits neatly over standard dinner plates
• Can also be used for tableside smoking or flavour infusion presentations

Being a glass item, it requires careful handling and storage. It is not suited to high-traffic self-service environments where accidental breakage is a risk. For those settings, a polycarbonate or acrylic alternative would be more practical. At 550g, it is light enough for front-of-house staff to lift and replace frequently without difficulty.

This size is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast stations, restaurant dessert counters, and event catering where a clean, professional display matters. If you need to cover larger platters or serve from a central buffet table with wider presentations, larger diameter cloches from the same range may be more appropriate.

If you are putting together a display counter or buffet setup and want to make sure you have the right sizes for your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The APS plate cloche is a polished 18/0 stainless steel dome designed to keep plated dishes covered during service. With a satin finish to the interior and a chrome-plated handle, it presents well in formal dining environments where presentation standards are consistently high. The 295mm outer diameter makes it suitable for covering standard main course plates without feeling oversized on the table.

In practical service terms, a cloche like this earns its place in fine dining restaurants, hotel restaurants, and banqueting operations where dishes travel from pass to table and retaining heat during that journey matters. The stainless steel construction holds warmth reasonably well over short distances, and at 700g it is light enough for front-of-house staff to handle comfortably during a busy service.

A few points worth considering before ordering in quantity:

• Polished stainless shows fingerprints readily — factor in polishing time between covers
• The 280mm inner diameter determines the maximum plate size that will sit cleanly underneath
• Stacking for storage requires care to avoid scratching the polished exterior
• Best suited to table service rather than self-service buffet use, where handled repeatedly by guests

This cloche is well suited to operations running a set-menu or tasting-menu format where every plate receives the same presentation treatment. For very high-volume banqueting where cloches are lifted simultaneously by multiple servers, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge option would offer better long-term durability under constant use.

If you are equipping a new dining room or sourcing cloches to match existing tableware, our team is happy to advise on sizing and quantities before you commit to an order.

This APS butter dish combines a porcelain base with a stainless steel cloche cover, providing a simple and practical way to present butter portions at the table or on a buffet spread. The porcelain dish keeps butter cool and contained, while the stainless steel cover protects it between uses and presents neatly in a hospitality setting.

In service, it does the job reliably without fuss. The stainless cover lifts away cleanly, the porcelain base is straightforward to wipe down or put through a glasswasher, and the overall weight — at 240g — is light enough for front-of-house staff to handle without issue. It holds up well to regular daily use in hotel breakfast service, restaurant table settings, and catered events.

Practical points worth noting:

• Stainless steel cloche resists tarnishing and wipes clean easily
• Porcelain base is smooth and non-porous for hygienic butter service
• Compact footprint suits table settings without occupying unnecessary space
• Sold singly, making it straightforward to order to quantity
• Consistent APS styling suits mixed buffet and tableware presentations

This piece is well suited to hotels, restaurants, brasseries, and event caterers where a tidy, functional butter presentation is needed without elaborate display. It is a single-portion solution — operations serving high guest volumes will want to order in sufficient quantity to maintain a smooth rotation through the wash cycle.

If you are building out a buffet or table setting and want to confirm this fits your existing serviceware, our team are happy to help.

This 290mm polycarbonate cloche from Steelite is a practical plate cover designed for buffet presentation and plated service. Made from polycarbonate rather than stainless steel or chrome, it offers a noticeably lighter option that is easier to handle repeatedly during service, while still providing the clean, professional appearance expected in hospitality environments.

In day-to-day service, polycarbonate cloches of this type are commonly used in hotel banqueting, restaurant buffets, and care catering where covers need to be lifted and replaced frequently by front-of-house staff. The material is more resistant to minor impacts and less prone to denting than metal alternatives, which can be a practical advantage in high-turnover settings where equipment takes regular handling.

Key practical points worth considering:

• Lightweight polycarbonate construction reduces hand fatigue during repetitive service
• Resistant to minor knocks and impact compared to metal cloches
• Suitable for use with standard round platters and plates up to 290mm diameter
• Easy to clean and maintain in a busy service environment
• Clear or translucent finish allows food to be visible without lifting the cover

It is worth noting that polycarbonate is not suited to high-temperature applications such as direct oven use or contact with very high heat sources. For operations that require heat retention over extended periods, a stainless steel cloche may be a more appropriate choice.

This cloche is well suited to buffet operations, hotel food service, and care or contract catering environments where lightweight, practical covers are needed in volume. For sites requiring larger diameter covers or a full matching set, other sizes are available within the range.

If you are unsure which size or material is right for your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The APS Glass Butter Dish with Cloche Lid is a simple, practical piece of tableware designed for presenting butter portions during meal service. The glass dish sits beneath a matching glass cloche, keeping butter covered between courses and maintaining a clean, presentable appearance on the table or buffet counter.

Glass construction gives the piece a neat, unfussy look that sits comfortably in most dining settings, from hotel restaurants to café bistro tables. It is straightforward to clean and does not retain odours or staining in the way some plastic alternatives can over time.

• Keeps butter covered and hygienic at the table between courses
• Glass material is easy to clean and odour-resistant
• Compact footprint suits both table settings and buffet layouts
• Presented as a matched set — dish and lid supplied together

There are no installation requirements. This is a handled tableware item requiring only a place setting or buffet surface. For high-turnover services or larger buffet runs, it is worth considering how many units are needed in rotation to allow for washing between covers.

Well suited to restaurants, hotels, wedding venues, and cafés offering table service or self-serve breakfast and lunch buffets. If you serve butter in high volume or need something more robust for a busy canteen environment, it is worth discussing alternatives with the team.

If you are unsure how many pieces suit your service rotation or have questions about suitability for a particular setting, feel free to get in touch.

The APS Super Dome is a clear polycarbonate dome cover designed for food display and buffet service. At 300mm in diameter, it sits comfortably over individual dishes, platters, or servingware to keep food protected between service and presentation. The clear construction allows guests and staff to see the contents without lifting the cover, which is a practical advantage in both buffet and pass situations.

Polycarbonate is a sensible material choice for front-of-house use. It is more impact-resistant than glass or standard acrylic, handles the knocks and stacking that come with busy service, and remains clear over time when cleaned correctly. The dome profile gives reasonable headroom for garnished dishes or larger portions without being unwieldy on the counter.

• Clear polycarbonate construction allows full visibility of food contents
• Impact-resistant material suited to regular front-of-house handling
• Dome profile accommodates garnished or built-up dishes
• Lightweight enough for comfortable single-handed lifting during service
• Easy to wipe down or wash between uses

This cover works well in buffet, carvery, and counter display settings where food needs to be held attractively between replenishment. It is equally useful on a pass in smaller operations where a simple cover between kitchen and table makes sense. For larger platters or higher-profile display work, APS produce a range of dome sizes, and it is worth confirming the footprint of your servingware before selecting a size.

If you are fitting out a full buffet display or need multiple covers across different platter sizes, we are happy to talk through which combination would work best for your setup.

The Steelite Creations Polycrystal Clear Cloche is a compact food cover designed for use across buffet displays, counter service, and plated presentation. At 140mm in diameter, it suits individual portions, small plates, and single-serve items where food needs to be kept covered between preparation and service. The polycrystal material offers the clarity of glass with greater resistance to chipping and cracking, making it a more practical choice for busy front-of-house environments.

In operational terms, cloches like this earn their place on the pass and at the buffet station by maintaining food freshness, reducing contamination risk, and presenting food neatly to guests. The clear construction means staff and guests can see what is covered without needing to lift each cloche, which keeps service moving efficiently. Sold in a box of six, they are well suited to venues that run multiple covers or need consistent presentation across a buffet line.

• Helps maintain food freshness between preparation and service
• Clear material allows contents to be identified without lifting
• Polycrystal construction is more chip-resistant than standard glass
• Consistent presentation across buffet and counter displays
• Box quantity makes restocking and matching sets straightforward

These are straightforward to clean by hand or through a glasswasher, and the durable material holds up well to regular service cycles. They stack neatly for storage, which matters in kitchens where back-of-house space is limited.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your plating or display requirements, or if you need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help.

This glass cloche from Bia is a straightforward dome cover designed for buffet presentation and table service. The clear glass construction allows food to be displayed without obstruction while protecting it from the surrounding environment, and the circular profile sits neatly over a wide range of plates and serving dishes.

In service, a cloche like this earns its place by slowing heat loss and moisture escape from plated dishes. Whether it is holding a starter on a buffet table or covering a plated main during a brief delay between kitchen and guest, it helps maintain the condition of the food without any mechanical or electrical involvement. The glass material also means there is no taint risk to delicate food items — something that can be a consideration with lower-quality alternatives.

• Keeps plated food warmer for longer during buffet or table service
• Clear glass allows full visibility of the dish without lifting
• Protects food from dust, handling, and airborne contamination
• Easy to clean and inspect for hygiene compliance
• Sits stably on flat surfaces without movement during service

Being a glass item, it is worth considering your setting carefully. In high-turnover environments where cloches are handled frequently or stacked for storage, glass carries an inherent fragility risk that a polycarbonate alternative would not. It is well suited to front-of-house settings where presentation quality matters and handling is more controlled — hotel dining, fine dining, or managed banqueting operations tend to be the natural home for this type of product.

If you are equipping a larger buffet operation and need to consider quantities, or if you are unsure whether glass or an alternative material is more practical for your setup, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Olympia Kristallon display cover is a clear polycarbonate cloche designed for food protection on buffet counters, carvery stations, and self-service displays. It provides a straightforward, hygienic barrier between prepared food and the surrounding environment without obstructing visibility — guests and staff can see the food clearly at all times.

Polycarbonate is a practical choice for this kind of cover in a catering environment. It is considerably more resistant to impact than glass, making it well suited to the knocks and handling that come with busy service periods. It is also lighter than glass, which makes repeated lifting and repositioning easier for front-of-house staff throughout a service. The material resists fogging reasonably well and can be cleaned quickly between services.

• Clear polycarbonate construction — good visibility without compromising food hygiene
• Impact-resistant material reduces breakage risk versus glass alternatives
• Lightweight at 500g — easy to lift and reposition during service
• Smooth surfaces that are straightforward to wipe down between covers
• Suitable for ambient food display on buffet and counter setups

This cover is best suited to operations running ambient or lightly warmed buffet displays — hotels, event caterers, carvery restaurants, and similar venues where a clean, unobtrusive food protection solution is needed. It is not designed for use over heated display units where sustained high temperatures could affect the material. For larger display areas or heated buffet applications, a different cover format may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this size works for your counter layout or whether polycarbonate is the right material for your specific setup, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This clear polycarbonate domed cover from Olympia's Kristallon range is a straightforward food display accessory designed for buffet counters, carvery stations, and self-service setups. It sits over plated dishes or serving platters to protect food from contamination, retain warmth, and keep presentation tidy during service.

Polycarbonate is the practical choice for this type of cover in a commercial environment. It offers the visual clarity of glass without the weight or breakage risk, which matters when covers are being lifted, stacked, and handled repeatedly throughout a busy service period. At 230g, this cover is light enough for front-of-house staff to manage comfortably, and the material is robust enough to withstand the knocks typical of a working buffet setup.

• Clear polycarbonate construction gives an unobstructed view of the food beneath
• Lightweight at 230g — easy for front-of-house staff to handle during service
• Shatter-resistant material reduces breakage risk compared to glass alternatives
• Smooth dome profile is straightforward to wipe down between services
• Suitable for use over standard round plates and small serving dishes

There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone accessory that requires no utilities or fixings. It is worth confirming the diameter suits your serving ware before ordering, as covers of this type are available in a range of sizes to suit different plate and platter dimensions.

This cover is well suited to hotels, pub carveries, staff canteens, and any operation running a buffet or self-service counter where food protection and presentation matter. For operations needing covers across a range of platter sizes, it is worth reviewing the wider Kristallon range to ensure a consistent match across the service counter.

If you are equipping a full buffet station and want to make sure sizes work across your existing servingware, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This polycarbonate rolltop cover from Olympia is a straightforward, reusable solution for protecting and displaying food in a GN 1/1 gastronorm. The hinged rolltop lid allows easy one-handed access, making it practical for counter and buffet service where staff need to reach food quickly without removing a cover entirely.

Clear polycarbonate construction means the contents remain visible at all times, which matters in self-service and assisted-service settings where customers need to see what is available. It performs reliably as a hygiene barrier against airborne contamination, handling contact, and ambient dust — situations where cling film or foil become impractical across a busy service period.

Operationally, it suits a range of settings well:

• Buffet counters where food needs to remain presentable throughout service
• Bakery and café counters displaying pastries, cakes, or sandwiches
• School and workplace canteens managing self-service lines
• Prep and holding applications where temporary coverage is needed

Being polycarbonate rather than glass, it is notably lighter and less prone to accidental breakage — a practical consideration in high-footfall or fast-paced environments. It fits any standard GN 1/1 gastronorm container, which keeps it compatible with most existing kitchen and counter equipment without any adaptation.

It is worth noting that this cover is intended for ambient or lightly chilled display rather than hot-holding. If your service involves maintaining heated food on a counter, a purpose-built heated display unit would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this fits your counter configuration or whether a different size would serve your service layout better, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

These rectangular buffet covers are part of Churchill's Alchemy Buffet collection, a coordinated range of serveware and display accessories designed to work together across the buffet counter. Sold as a pack of two, the covers are sized to fit Alchemy Buffet trays directly, giving a consistent, professional look to the display without the mismatched appearance that comes from mixing unrelated pieces.

Made from clear Tritan-style plastic, the covers keep food protected from airborne contaminants while allowing guests to see the contents at a glance — practically useful on a busy buffet line where staff cannot be present at every station throughout service. The material is robust enough for regular commercial use and handles the day-to-day rigours of a hotel breakfast operation, conference catering, or event buffet without clouding or distorting quickly.

From an operational standpoint, the covers offer a few straightforward advantages:

• Clear construction maintains full food visibility without lifting the cover
• Stackable design keeps storage compact when not in service
• Sized to match Alchemy trays, reducing movement and maintaining a tidy display
• Lightweight for easy handling and transport between kitchen and service area
• Easy to clean down between sittings or buffet resets

These covers are best suited to operators already using or planning to build out the Churchill Alchemy Buffet range, where the coordinated aesthetic matters. They are not intended as a universal-fit cover, so it is worth confirming tray compatibility before ordering larger quantities for a new setup.

If you are putting together a buffet display and want to make sure you have the right combination of trays, covers, and supporting pieces, the team is happy to go through the range with you.

In a buffet or self-service environment, food protection and presentation both matter.

• Stackable design simplifies storage between services and during transport
• Designed to pair with matching Alchemy Buffet trays for a consistent display
• Sold in packs of six, making them practical to stock in multiples

They are not designed for high-impact or industrial warewashing environments. For operations running very large or heavily used buffet lines, it's worth considering how the covers will be stored and transported between services to avoid cracking at the edges.

These rectangular buffet covers are part of Churchill's Alchemy Buffet collection, designed to work alongside the matching Alchemy trays and serveware as a coordinated system.

In a working buffet environment, maintaining the appearance and freshness of food between replenishments matters. These covers sit securely over the corresponding Alchemy trays, keeping food presentable and reducing the rate at which it dries out or picks up odours from the surrounding environment.

• Clear construction gives full food visibility without removing the cover
• Designed to pair with matching Alchemy buffet trays for a consistent presentation
• Stackable design simplifies storage between service periods
• Tritan-style plastic is robust enough for regular hospitality use
• Helps maintain food freshness and hygiene standards during open display

These covers are sized to fit specific Alchemy Buffet trays, so it is worth confirming compatibility with your existing serveware before ordering. They are not a universal-fit cover. For operations running larger display areas or higher volume buffet service, Churchill's Alchemy range includes other tray and cover formats that may be better suited to scale.

If you are building out a buffet display from scratch or expanding an existing setup, the team are happy to help you piece together a coordinated collection that works for your service format.

These square buffet covers are part of Churchill's Alchemy Buffet collection, designed to sit over matching Alchemy trays and create a cohesive, well-presented food display. Made from clear, robust Tritan-style plastic, they allow guests and staff to see food contents clearly without lifting the cover, which helps maintain freshness and limits exposure to airborne contaminants during service.

In a buffet or carvery setting, keeping food protected between service intervals matters both for hygiene compliance and presentation. These covers do that job simply and reliably. The clear material holds up well to regular handling and cleaning, and the stackable form means they store neatly when not in use — a practical consideration in kitchens where storage space is limited.

• Protects food from airborne contaminants during buffet service

• Stackable design saves storage space between sittings
• Designed to pair with matching Alchemy Buffet trays for a coordinated display
• Durable Tritan-style plastic suited to regular commercial use

They are supplied as a pack of two, which suits operators building out a display gradually or replacing individual pieces within an existing set.

Well suited to hotels, contract caterers, and venues running self-service or assisted buffet operations. If you are equipping a larger or more complex display and want guidance on coordinating the full Alchemy range, our team is happy to help.
