This is a standard-size, extra thick chopping board from Hygiplas, made from high density polyethylene. At 25mm thick, it offers noticeably more rigidity and durability than thinner alternatives, making it a practical choice for busy prep environments where boards are in constant daily use.
High density polyethylene is a well-established material for commercial kitchen chopping boards. It is non-absorbent, which helps prevent bacteria harbouring in the surface, and it is odourless and non-toxic — both important considerations in a professional food preparation setting. The surface holds up well under regular knife work and can withstand repeated cleaning and sanitising cycles without warping or degrading quickly.
Available in the standard six colour-coded options — blue, brown, green, red, white, and yellow — the boards support HACCP-aligned colour separation of food types, which is a common requirement in commercial kitchens of all sizes.
- Non-absorbent surface resists bacterial ingress during prep
- Colour-coded range supports HACCP food safety separation
- Extra 25mm thickness adds rigidity and extends working life
- Odourless and non-toxic — suitable for all food types
- Tolerates repeated sanitising without surface degradation
For lighter-duty or lower-frequency use, a standard thickness board may be sufficient. For sites requiring larger prep surfaces or very heavy continuous use, a larger or heavier-duty board may be worth considering.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing a full set across multiple prep stations, it is worth talking through your colour-coding requirements and volume of use — we are happy to help you select the right sizes and quantities.
£10.28(£12.34 inc VAT)
This is a small high density polyethylene chopping board from Hygiplas, available in seven colours that correspond to the standard commercial kitchen colour-coding system. It is a straightforward piece of prep equipment designed to help kitchens manage cross-contamination risks during food preparation.
High density polyethylene is the material of choice for commercial chopping boards because it resists moisture absorption, does not harbour bacteria in the same way softer boards can, and holds up well to repeated washing in a commercial dishwasher. The surface is firm enough to give a stable cutting platform while remaining kind to knife edges over extended use.
The colour-coding system is the practical heart of this product. The seven colours align with widely adopted food safety guidelines:
- Blue — raw fish
- Brown — vegetables
- Green — salad and fruit
- Purple — allergenic foods
- Red — raw meat
- White — bakery and dairy products
- Yellow — cooked meat
At this size, the board is best suited to smaller prep tasks, garnish work, or situations where bench space is limited. It works well as a supplementary board at a pass or snack station rather than as a primary prep surface in a high-volume kitchen. Larger format boards in the same range are available where more working area is needed.
If you are building out a colour-coded board system across multiple stations or need guidance on quantities for your kitchen size, the team are happy to help you work through what makes sense for your operation.
£18.85(£22.62 inc VAT)
The Hygiplas Heavy Duty Chopping Board Scraper is a straightforward, practical tool designed to maintain the working surface of plastic chopping boards in a commercial kitchen environment. Using a two-handed grip, it allows kitchen staff to scrape away nicks, scratches, and ingrained debris that accumulate on board surfaces over time, helping to restore a cleaner, more hygienic cutting surface without the need to replace the board prematurely.
In a busy kitchen, chopping boards take a considerable amount of punishment. Over the course of a service, cut marks and grooves can harbour bacteria and become difficult to sanitise effectively. Regular scraping helps keep board surfaces in better condition between deep cleans, supporting food hygiene standards and extending the useful life of the board itself.
The two-handled design gives operators firm, controlled purchase across the full width of the blade, making the process quicker and more consistent than a single-handled alternative. It is a simple tool, but used routinely it contributes to better hygiene practice and reduced board replacement costs over time.
There are no installation requirements — this is a handheld tool suitable for any kitchen. At 330g it is robust enough for regular use without being cumbersome, and it is straightforward to clean down after use.
This scraper is well suited to any commercial kitchen using plastic chopping boards as part of a colour-coded or standard board system — from small café kitchens to high-volume contract catering operations. If your kitchen goes through boards at high frequency, it is worth considering whether a more structured board maintenance routine would help.
If you have questions about chopping board maintenance or need guidance on building out your prep station kit, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.
£102.00(£122.40 inc VAT)
The Hasegawa T20 Pro-Soft Lite is a Japanese-manufactured chopping board designed specifically for professional kitchen use. It combines a soft, slightly yielding surface layer with a rigid wood-core construction, giving it a feel and knife response that sits meaningfully apart from standard solid plastic boards of similar size.
In daily prep use, the surface absorbs the impact of each cut rather than resisting it sharply. This reduces the micro-damage that gradually dulls a blade, which matters in busy kitchens where knives are in constant use and sharpening time is limited. The grippy surface also helps keep food in place during fine or repetitive cuts, which contributes to both speed and consistency during service prep.
The wood-core construction keeps the board noticeably lighter than a solid plastic equivalent at this size, without sacrificing rigidity. It holds its shape well under sustained use and resists warping even after repeated high-temperature washing. It is dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning and supports standard kitchen hygiene routines.
- Knife-cushioning surface helps extend blade sharpness between sharpenings
- Grippy prep surface reduces food movement during precise cuts
- Lighter than solid plastic — easier to handle, store, and clean
- Resists warping under repeated high-temperature washing
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward hygiene compliance
This board is well suited to prep kitchens, chef's stations, and catering operations where knife care and prep efficiency are priorities. At 440x290mm it is a practical everyday size for most prep tasks. For operations requiring larger prep areas or heavier-duty surface life, boards in larger formats or higher-specification materials are worth considering.
If you are equipping a new prep section or want to discuss which board sizes and materials make sense for your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
From £5.60(£6.72 inc VAT)
Hygiplas colour-coded chopping boards are a straightforward, practical solution for managing cross-contamination risk in a commercial kitchen. Made from low density polyethylene, these boards are available in six standard colours — white, green, red, brown, blue, and yellow — each traditionally assigned to a specific food type. The standard board measures 450 x 300mm and is a commonly used size across prep kitchens of most sizes.
In a busy kitchen environment, colour coding is one of the simplest and most reliable ways to reinforce safe food handling practices. Staff can identify the correct board at a glance, which reduces the chance of error during fast-paced service. Low density polyethylene is softer than high density alternatives, which means it is gentler on knife edges — a practical consideration where knife maintenance matters.
- Colour coding supports HACCP food safety procedures at prep stations
- Soft material helps preserve blade sharpness over regular use
- Lightweight and easy to handle, stack, and clean between tasks
- Consistent sizing makes storage and board racks straightforward
It is worth noting that low density boards will show cut marks more readily than high density versions and may need replacing more frequently in high-throughput environments. For kitchens processing large volumes of prep work throughout the day, a thicker or high density board may offer a longer service life.
These boards are well suited to smaller kitchens, catering operations with moderate prep volumes, and as supplementary boards at specific prep stations. If you are equipping multiple stations or need guidance on the right specification for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£96.66(£115.99 inc VAT)
This six-board set from Hygiplas provides a complete colour-coded chopping board system for commercial food preparation. Each board is made from low density polyethylene (LDPE), a material widely used in professional kitchens for its durability, ease of cleaning, and resistance to warping under regular use. The set covers the standard six colour zones used across the catering industry to separate different food types during prep.
In a busy kitchen, the risk of cross-contamination between raw meat, cooked foods, fish, vegetables, bread, and dairy is a genuine food safety concern. A properly observed colour-coded system helps kitchen teams maintain separation instinctively, even under the pressure of a full service. These boards are thick enough to provide a stable cutting surface and to withstand heavy daily use without flexing or splitting prematurely.
- Six boards covering the standard colour-coding system in one purchase
- LDPE construction — durable, easy to clean, and knife-friendly
- Substantial thickness provides a stable surface for heavy prep work
- Supports HACCP compliance and allergen separation procedures
- Suited to dishwasher cleaning for efficient end-of-service hygiene routines
At this size, the boards are practical for most prep tasks without being unwieldy on a standard prep bench. They are well suited to kitchens that need a straightforward, compliant colour-coding solution without a significant outlay. For very high-volume sites with multiple prep stations, it is worth considering whether additional sets or a heavier-grade board material would better suit the workload.
If you are setting up a new kitchen or reviewing your current food safety systems and want to talk through how colour-coded prep fits into your workflow, the team is happy to help.
£260.00(£312.00 inc VAT)
This Hygiplas set provides a complete colour-coded chopping board system in extra large format, comprising six high density polyethylene boards — one in each of the standard colour codes — along with a wall-mounted storage rack and a colour reference chart. It is designed to give a kitchen everything it needs to implement a structured food safety and cross-contamination prevention regime straight out of the box.
High density polyethylene is the material of choice in most professional kitchens for good reason. It is firm enough to withstand heavy daily chopping and slicing, resistant to moisture absorption, and straightforward to clean and sanitise. The extra large board size suits prep work on larger cuts of meat, whole fish, and bulk vegetable preparation — tasks where a standard-sized board becomes a limiting factor during a busy service.
The practical advantages of running a full six-colour system are well understood in commercial kitchen operations:
- Clear visual separation of food groups reduces cross-contamination risk
- Wall rack keeps boards off the worktop and allows air drying between uses
- Colour chart supports staff training and ongoing compliance checks
- HDPE surface is compatible with standard commercial dishwasher cycles
- Extra large format accommodates bulk prep tasks without repeated repositioning
Because the boards are supplied at a substantial size and weight, it is worth confirming that your existing wall rack position or storage arrangement can accommodate them comfortably. The rack supplied is designed for this set specifically, so integration into an already established board storage system may need consideration.
This set is well suited to kitchens that are setting up a colour-coded system from scratch, or replacing a worn set across the board. Smaller operations working with limited prep space may find a standard or medium format more practical day to day. If you are unsure which board size suits your prep volumes or kitchen layout, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£19.48(£23.38 inc VAT)
This is a high-density polyethylene chopping board with an antimicrobial additive built into the material itself. It is not a surface coating — the inhibiting properties are present throughout the board, helping to suppress the activity of bacteria commonly associated with food poisoning. It is available in six colours, each corresponding to a specific food type under standard colour-coded preparation systems.
In a busy prep kitchen, cross-contamination control depends on consistent practice and reliable kit. These boards hold up well under daily use — the high-density polyethylene resists deep knife scoring better than softer alternatives, which matters because deep grooves are where bacteria accumulate and become difficult to clean out. The antimicrobial properties offer an additional layer of protection on top of regular cleaning, not a replacement for it.
Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- Colour coding supports HACCP compliance and clear prep station discipline
- HDPE material is dishwasher safe and tolerates repeated sanitising cycles
- Antimicrobial inhibition works throughout the board's working life, not just at the surface
- Lightweight enough for daily handling and storage on a rack system
- Non-porous surface does not absorb juices or odours over time
No specialist installation is required. These boards sit on a work surface or suitable rack — the rack is sold separately. They are suited to counters and prep tables of standard commercial depth. Worth noting: for very high-throughput sites where boards are in continuous use across multiple services, a heavier-gauge board may offer a longer service life.
Well suited to any commercial kitchen operating a colour-coded prep system — from small café kitchens to larger contract catering operations. If you are equipping a new kitchen and want to ensure your board selection aligns with your HACCP plan, the team is happy to talk it through.
£43.24(£51.89 inc VAT)
This APS chopping board is a thick, slatted wooden board sized to match a full 1/1 gastronorm footprint, making it straightforward to incorporate into standard prep bench setups. The slatted construction allows crumbs and debris to fall through to the integrated shelf beneath, which helps keep the working surface cleaner during active prep. Anti-slip feet keep the board stable on the bench during use.
In practical terms, it performs well in bakery sections, breakfast stations, and any prep area where bread, charcuterie, or similar items are being cut or presented. The GN sizing means it sits neatly within standard inserts or on most prep counters without awkward overhanging edges. At 900g it is light enough to move and clean without difficulty, while the thick wood construction offers a solid, stable cutting surface.
- Slatted surface channels crumbs away from the cutting area
- Integrated crumb shelf reduces bench mess during service
- Anti-slip feet maintain stability on prep surfaces
- GN-compatible sizing fits standard bench and insert layouts
- Straightforward to lift, move, and hand wash between uses
Wooden boards of this type require hand washing and periodic oiling to maintain the surface and prevent the wood from drying or splitting. They are not suitable for dishwasher cleaning. This board is best treated as a dedicated item for dry or low-moisture prep — bread, pastry, and charcuterie — rather than for wet or heavily soiled protein prep, where a plastic HACCP board would be more appropriate under most kitchen food safety protocols.
Well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, bakery sections, and smaller prep kitchens where a practical, bench-stable cutting surface is needed. For higher-volume operations or sites requiring colour-coded HACCP compliance across all boards, alternative options may be worth considering alongside this product.
If you are unsure whether this board fits your prep workflow or food safety requirements, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.
£41.31(£49.57 inc VAT)
This Hygiplas set provides six colour-coded chopping boards made from low density polyethylene, each incorporating an antibacterial additive within the material. The colour coding supports a structured food preparation system that keeps raw meats, fish, vegetables, cooked foods, dairy, and bakery items separated throughout the working day.
In busy prep environments, cross-contamination is one of the most consistent hygiene risks. A properly maintained colour-coded board system is one of the most straightforward ways to manage that risk in practice, and it forms a visible, auditable element of HACCP-based food safety procedures. These boards are well suited to that role in kitchens where staff turnover is frequent and clear visual cues help reinforce correct handling habits.
Low density polyethylene offers a practical balance for this type of board — it is forgiving on knife edges during routine prep work and can be cleaned and sanitised repeatedly without the surface degrading rapidly. Key operational points worth noting:
- Six distinct board colours support a full colour-coded food safety system
- Antibacterial additive integrated into the board material, not a surface coating
- Low density polyethylene construction is gentler on knife edges than harder boards
- Suitable for regular dishwasher and chemical sanitiser cycles
- Lightweight format is easy to store, rotate, and replace as part of a managed board programme
As with any low density board, these are best treated as consumable items in a high-volume kitchen. They are not intended for heavy-duty butchery or prolonged deep-cut work, where a thicker, higher-density board would be more appropriate. Sites with very high prep volumes may find it worthwhile to hold additional sets to allow full rotation and proper drying between uses.
This set is a practical choice for smaller kitchens, cafés, school kitchens, and care home catering operations establishing or maintaining a colour-coded system. For operations requiring boards better suited to heavier daily use, a thicker or high-density alternative may be worth considering.
If you are putting together a broader food safety setup or are unsure which board specification suits your operation, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£14.95(£17.94 inc VAT)
This is a standard commercial chopping board from Hygiplas, made from low density polyethylene (LDPE) and colour-coded purple to indicate use with allergenic ingredients. It forms part of the widely used Hygiplas colour-coding system, which assigns a distinct board colour to each food category to help kitchen teams manage cross-contamination risk during preparation.
In practice, the purple designation means this board is kept solely for allergenic foods — nuts, gluten-containing ingredients, and similar items that require strict separation from the general preparation workflow. LDPE is a practical choice for commercial use: it is non-absorbent, resistant to knife scoring over time, and straightforward to clean either by hand or through a commercial dishwasher cycle. The material does not harbour bacteria in the way that porous surfaces can, which supports good hygiene practice.
Key practical points for kitchen use:
- Purple colour coding aligns with recognised allergen-specific board conventions
- Non-absorbent LDPE surface does not retain moisture or food particles
- Suitable for commercial dishwasher cleaning
- Low density polyethylene is non-toxic and food safe
- Sold singly — order multiples to cover full allergen workflow requirements
At 600x450mm this is a practical general-purpose prep size, suitable for most countertop prep stations. It is worth considering how many allergen-specific boards your kitchen requires — high-volume sites or those with complex allergen menus may need several boards in rotation to maintain hygiene standards throughout a busy service.
If you are putting together a full colour-coded board set or reviewing your allergen preparation setup, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.
£51.45(£61.74 inc VAT)
This pack of six small chopping boards from Hygiplas is a straightforward colour-coded system designed to help kitchen teams manage food safety during prep. Each board is colour-designated to a specific food type, making it easier for staff to reach for the correct board without thinking twice — a simple but effective way to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in a busy kitchen environment.
Made from high density polyethylene, the boards are non-absorbent and non-toxic, which matters in a kitchen where prep surfaces take repeated contact with raw proteins, produce, and allergens. HDPE resists knife scoring better than softer plastics, and the surface doesn't harbour bacteria in the way that porous materials can. They clean down quickly, hold up to dishwasher cycling, and don't warp or split under normal commercial prep conditions.
- Colour-coded system reduces cross-contamination risk during prep
- Non-absorbent HDPE surface is hygienic and easy to clean
- Resistant to knife marks and surface degradation under regular use
- Suitable for dishwasher cleaning in commercial kitchens
- Pack of six supports full colour-coded coverage across food groups
These boards are well suited to smaller prep stations, satellite kitchens, or as a supplementary set alongside full-size boards. For high-volume operations producing large batches, a larger board format may be more practical — but for general-purpose prep, portioning, and garnish work, this size is a reliable everyday choice.
If you're building out a full colour-coded prep setup or need guidance on board sizing for your operation, the team is happy to help you put together the right combination.
£22.68(£27.22 inc VAT)
This is a solid beech wood chopping board from Vogue, sized for general prep work in a commercial kitchen. Beech is a traditional choice for chopping boards in professional kitchens — it is a close-grained hardwood that holds up well to repeated cutting and is less aggressive on knife edges than harder synthetic materials or glass surfaces.
In a working kitchen, this board sits comfortably in the medium-duty category. It is a practical size for portioning, rough chopping, and general prep tasks, and the 30mm thickness gives it enough mass to stay stable on a work surface without being unwieldy. Finger grooves on the sides make it straightforward to lift and reposition safely, which matters during a busy service when hands are often wet.
A few things worth keeping in mind with wooden boards in a commercial environment: they require more attentive maintenance than plastic alternatives — regular oiling to prevent drying and splitting, and they should not be submerged or put through a dishwasher. Most environmental health guidance in the UK also restricts wooden boards from raw meat preparation in certain settings, so it is worth checking your local requirements before use. For allergen-controlled or HACCP-compliant prep stations, colour-coded plastic boards are typically the more appropriate choice.
This board suits lighter prep duties — bread, vegetables, cooked meats, cheese, and plating work — in kitchens where a wooden surface is preferred for its feel and knife-friendliness. For higher-volume or raw protein prep, a heavier synthetic board would be the more practical option.
If you are putting together a prep station or working out the right board type for your kitchen setup, we are happy to talk it through.
£45.55(£54.66 inc VAT)
This Hygiplas set provides six colour-coded low-density polyethylene chopping boards, a storage rack, and an A4 wall chart — everything needed to implement a structured colour-coding system in a commercial kitchen preparation area. Each board corresponds to a designated food group, allowing prep teams to separate raw meats, cooked foods, fish, vegetables, dairy, and bakery items without relying on memory or verbal instruction alone.
In busy kitchen environments, cross-contamination control is one of the most consistent food safety challenges. A visible, physical colour system reduces the risk of boards being used interchangeably during service, particularly when multiple staff members are working across the same prep station. The included wall chart reinforces the system and supports onboarding of new team members quickly.
LDPE boards at this thickness are a practical choice for general prep use. They are easier on knife edges than harder materials and straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher. The rack keeps boards upright and separate between uses, supporting both hygiene and organised storage in tight prep areas.
- Reduces cross-contamination risk through a clear, physical colour system
- Wall chart supports staff training and compliance documentation
- Rack keeps boards stored hygienically and accessibly between prep sessions
- LDPE surface is kind to knife edges and simple to clean
- A self-contained kit that can be deployed immediately without additional purchases
This set is well suited to smaller kitchens, cafés, school catering, and care homes establishing or refreshing their food safety procedures. Higher-volume operations with multiple prep sections may find it more practical to invest in additional boards or a larger rack system to cover separate stations. If you are unsure which setup suits your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to talk it through.
£35.99(£43.19 inc VAT)
This is a large-format wooden chopping board from Vogue, constructed from FSC-certified mango wood in a chevron-pattern arrangement. Despite the name referencing acacia, the board is made from responsibly sourced mango wood finished to resemble the tonal variation typical of acacia. The generous working surface gives prep cooks plenty of room for portioning, slicing, and presenting ingredients without crowding the workspace.
In a busy kitchen environment, the board holds up well to daily chopping and slicing tasks. The solid construction resists warping under regular use, and the knife-friendly surface helps protect blade edges over time — a practical consideration in kitchens where knife maintenance matters. The board performs equally well for back-of-house prep and front-of-house service presentation, where the chevron pattern gives it a tidier, more considered appearance than a plain timber board.
- Spacious surface reduces the need to transfer food during prep
- Knife-friendly material helps preserve blade edges during daily use
- FSC-certified wood supports responsible sourcing requirements
- Chevron pattern makes it a practical choice for front-of-house food presentation
- Wipe-clean surface keeps prep stations moving between service covers
Wooden boards of this size require consistent care to remain food-safe and serviceable. They should be hand-washed rather than put through a commercial dishwasher, dried thoroughly after each wash, and periodically treated with food-safe mineral oil to prevent cracking. They are not suited to prolonged contact with raw meat in environments where cross-contamination controls demand colour-coded plastic boards as a primary cutting surface — in those settings this board is better used for dry goods, bread, charcuterie, or presentation work.
Well suited to restaurants, delis, and hospitality venues that want a presentable board for both prep and tableside use. For operations requiring a purely functional workhorse cutting surface for high-volume raw protein work, a colour-coded synthetic board may be the more appropriate primary option.
If you are unsure whether this board fits your kitchen's hygiene protocols or workflow, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£3.23(£3.88 inc VAT)
The Vogue non-slip chopping board mat is a simple, practical addition to any food preparation area. It sits between the worktop surface and the underside of a chopping board, gripping both surfaces to prevent the board shifting during use. It is supplied as a single roll that can be cut down to suit the size of board in use.
In a working kitchen, a moving chopping board is a genuine hazard — particularly during fast-paced prep or when working with damp hands or wet surfaces. Keeping the board firmly in place lets kitchen staff work with more confidence and at a better pace, without having to compensate for movement or repeatedly reposition the board. The material is non-porous, so it does not absorb liquids or retain odours, which matters from a hygiene standpoint in any environment where food is being handled regularly.
- Prevents board movement on wet or dry worktop surfaces
- Non-porous material resists moisture and odour absorption
- Can be cut to fit a wide range of board sizes
- Suitable for use with most standard commercial chopping boards
- Straightforward to clean down as part of the normal kitchen routine
This mat is well suited to any commercial kitchen where chopping boards are in regular use — from small café prep areas through to high-volume production kitchens. It is a low-cost measure that addresses a real day-to-day safety concern without requiring any installation or modification to the workspace.
If you are unsure whether this mat is the right fit for your boards or prep setup, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£41.02(£49.22 inc VAT)
This is a solid beech wood chopping board from Vogue, sized to give chefs a practical working surface for general food preparation. The board is intended for professional kitchen use, where a stable, generous prep area is needed throughout a busy service.
Beech is a well-regarded material for chopping boards in commercial settings. It is hard enough to withstand repeated knife work without marking easily, yet sufficiently forgiving on blade edges to help maintain sharpness over time — a practical consideration in kitchens where knives are in constant use. The finger grooves along the side allow it to be lifted and moved safely, which matters when boards are being rotated through a wash cycle or repositioned on a prep bench.
Practical benefits for kitchen operators include:
- Knife-friendly surface that helps preserve edge sharpness with regular use
- Generous prep area suited to portioning, slicing, and general mise en place
- Finger grooves for safe and controlled handling during movement
- Solid construction that sits stably on a prep bench without flexing
- Straightforward to clean and maintain as part of a standard board rotation
This board is best suited to smaller independent kitchens, café prep areas, or as a secondary board in larger operations. It is not intended to replace colour-coded HACCP board systems where allergen or cross-contamination controls are in place — kitchens with strict food safety protocols should consider whether a dedicated set of coloured boards better meets their requirements. For very high-volume or continuous prep environments, a heavier board may offer a longer service life.
If you are putting together a prep station or want to discuss the right board setup for your kitchen, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£41.95(£50.34 inc VAT)
This is Araven's green colour-coded cutting board, sized to suit most commercial preparation stations. The green designation follows the widely adopted colour-coding convention used in professional kitchens to separate fruit and salad preparation from other food groups, reducing the risk of cross-contamination during busy service periods.
The board is made from a high-density, non-toxic material that is inert to food and resistant to the detergents and disinfectants commonly used in commercial kitchen environments. The surface is smooth enough for clean knife work whilst holding up to repeated daily use without significant scoring that would compromise hygiene. It is reversible, which extends usable life and gives kitchen staff a practical option during heavy prep runs without needing to swap boards entirely.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Colour-coded corners aid quick identification on busy prep stations
- Rubberised injected corners help keep the board stable on the work surface
- Reversible design effectively doubles the working surface before replacement is needed
- Dishwasher-safe construction supports efficient end-of-service cleaning routines
- Material is resistant to standard kitchen sanitisers and detergents
The board is well suited to smaller prep areas, satellite kitchens, or as part of a full colour-coded board set across a larger operation. For kitchens running high-volume prep over extended shifts, it is worth considering whether a thicker or larger board would better suit the throughput demands — the depth here is adequate for standard prep but heavier butchery work would call for something more substantial.
If you are putting together a colour-coded board system across multiple prep stations, or are unsure which sizes and designations suit your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£29.15(£34.98 inc VAT)
The Vogue chevron-effect acacia wood chopping board is a solid, practical prep board made from FSC-certified mango wood with a chevron-patterned surface finish. At medium size it offers a workable cutting area without taking up excessive bench space, and the 35mm thickness gives it enough mass to sit firmly during use without sliding around.
Acacia and mango wood boards of this type are commonly used in commercial kitchens for light to moderate daily prep work — portioning, slicing, and general chopping tasks. The natural hardness of the wood is reasonably kind to blade edges compared with harder synthetic alternatives, which is worth considering in kitchens where knife maintenance matters. It is not intended for raw meat batching at volume, where a colour-coded polymer board would be the more appropriate choice for HACCP compliance.
The chevron pattern also makes this board a practical choice for front-of-house use — cheese boards, charcuterie, bread service, and similar table presentations where a natural wood finish is part of the aesthetic. It cleans down easily between uses with a wipe rather than a full wash, which keeps it moving through service.
- Natural wood surface is gentler on knife edges than hard synthetic boards
- Suitable for both back-of-house prep and front-of-house food presentation
- FSC-certified sustainable wood construction
- Solid enough to remain stable on a prep bench without a mat
- Easy to wipe down between tasks during busy service
One consideration worth noting: like all natural wood boards, this one should not be submerged in water or put through a commercial dishwasher, as prolonged moisture exposure will cause warping and splitting over time. Hand washing and prompt drying will extend its working life considerably.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your prep volume or presentation format, the team is happy to advise.
£80.26(£96.31 inc VAT)
The APS Valo is a solid oak cutting board in GN 1/1 format, designed to cover both practical prep use and front-of-house presentation. The generous surface area makes it a practical choice for slicing bread, charcuterie, or baked goods, and the board sits at a stable 35mm height that keeps it comfortable to work on for extended periods.
Anti-slip feet hold the board firmly on the work surface, which matters when staff are working quickly during a busy service. The board is also stackable, so storage between services is straightforward without taking up unnecessary shelf space.
Oak is a well-regarded material for cutting boards in catering use — it is durable, relatively gentle on knife edges, and presents well when brought to the table or placed on a buffet counter. This board crosses both roles comfortably: it works equally well behind the scenes in a kitchen as it does on a breakfast buffet or cheese board display.
As with any solid wood board, routine oiling and proper drying after washing will extend the working life considerably. It is not suitable for dishwasher use and should not be left submerged in water.
This size suits most counter and buffet applications, but for smaller stations or tighter prep areas, a more compact board may be the better fit. If you are equipping multiple sections or need advice on quantities for a new opening, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This Hygiplas set provides a complete colour-coded chopping board solution for commercial food preparation. It includes six LDPE boards — each in a different colour corresponding to a specific food type — along with a storage rack and a wall chart for staff reference. The system is a straightforward, practical way to implement and maintain food safety separation standards in a working kitchen.
Colour-coded boards are a well-established method for reducing cross-contamination risk, and this set covers the full standard range of food categories used in most professional kitchens. The included wall chart makes it easy to train new staff and keep the system consistent across shifts. The rack keeps boards organised and allows air circulation for drying between uses, which matters in a busy prep area where boards cycle through regularly.
The boards are made from low-density polyethylene, which is a common material choice in catering — firm enough to hold an edge during heavy prep work, but with enough give to reduce knife wear. LDPE is also straightforward to clean and can withstand commercial dishwasher cycles.
- Supports HACCP-compliant food safety separation across six categories
- Wall chart aids staff training and consistent colour-code compliance
- Rack keeps boards stored hygienically and off prep surfaces
- Dishwasher-safe boards suit busy prep environments with high board turnover
- Suitable for use in kitchens of most sizes, from small catering operations to larger brigade-style environments
This set is well suited to kitchens establishing or formalising their food safety procedures, as well as those replacing worn boards and wanting to standardise their system in one purchase. For very high-volume sites running multiple prep areas, it may be worth considering additional sets to cover simultaneous preparation stations.

This Hygiplas set provides seven flexible polyethylene chopping mats, each assigned to a different food category by colour. The colour-coding system is a widely recognised approach in commercial kitchens for keeping raw meats, ready-to-eat foods, fish, vegetables, and other food groups separated during preparation — reducing the risk of cross-contamination without relying on staff memory alone.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the mats are practical to handle and easy to move between prep stations. The polyethylene construction is non-absorbent and non-toxic, which means bacteria and food residues sit on the surface rather than soaking in — an important characteristic in any kitchen preparing food across multiple categories during a busy service.
Key practical advantages for kitchen operators include:
- Colour-coded system supports food safety compliance and HACCP procedures
- Non-absorbent polyethylene surface resists bacterial absorption
- Flexible construction makes the mats easier to handle and store flat
- Simple to clean by hand or through a commercial dishwasher
- Set of seven covers the standard colour-coding categories in one purchase
These mats are rated for light-duty use. They are well suited to smaller prep kitchens, catering colleges, and low-to-medium volume operations where prep volumes are manageable and mats can be replaced regularly as part of routine hygiene practice. Kitchens with very high prep throughput, or where mats are in continuous daily use across multiple services, may find heavier-duty boards a more durable long-term option.
If you are setting up a new kitchen and want to make sure your chopping board provision matches your prep requirements and food safety obligations, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Cutting Boards & Racks Buying Guide
Choosing a chopping board
Most of the range is colour-coded plastic, sold as single boards in blue, green, red, yellow, white, brown and purple, or as sets. Hygiplas low density and high density boards come in small, standard and large sizes, and there are extra thick versions. Antibacterial and anti microbial boards and Commercial Grip boards are also listed. Check the product page for exact dimensions and thickness before you order.
Colour coding keeps food groups apart and cuts the risk of cross contamination. A common approach is red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, yellow for cooked meat, green for salad and fruit, brown for vegetables, white for dairy and bakery, and purple for allergens. Whichever system you use, give each colour a fixed job and make sure every member of the team knows it. A Pujadas purple allergen board is available if you want a dedicated allergen surface.
If you prefer wood, Vogue rectangular wooden chopping boards come in small, medium and large. Hasegawa T20 Pro-Soft boards suit chefs who want a specialist board, and a Hasegawa T30 Japanese board scraper is listed alongside them. Thunder Group, Beaumont and Nisbets Essentials boards are in the range too.
Sets and racks
Colour-coded sets bring several boards together, including Hygiplas sets of 6 and 7, and one board and knife set. For storage, choose from a Hygiplas triangle rack, a black plastic rack in a large size, and heavy duty racks including a 7 slot model. Match the rack to the thickness and size of the boards you use, so each board stands upright and dries properly.
