£21.03(£25.24 inc VAT)
This three-tier plate stand from Olympia is a straightforward buffet and display accessory designed to hold 150mm plates across three stacked levels. Made from mango wood, it presents a natural, warm finish that works well alongside food displays, particularly in settings where a rustic or natural aesthetic is appropriate.
In practice, tiered stands like this earn their place on buffet lines and cold displays by lifting presentation off a flat surface and creating visual depth without requiring additional table space. They are commonly used in hotel breakfast and lunch buffets, café counter displays, and event catering setups where multiple plate portions or tasting items need to be shown at once.
The mango wood construction gives it a reasonable weight-to-stability ratio for a stand of this size, and the natural material is straightforward to wipe down between service periods. It is worth noting that mango wood, like all natural materials, requires a degree of care — it should not be submerged in water or put through a dishwasher, and occasional light oiling will help maintain its condition over time.
- Creates vertical display layers to make efficient use of limited buffet space
- Natural wood finish complements food presentation without competing visually
- Lightweight enough to reposition easily during service
- Suited to ambient or cold food displays at buffet or counter level
This stand is best suited to smaller buffet operations, café counters, or event catering where compact, attractive display pieces are needed. For higher-volume or more permanent buffet setups, a more robust or larger-format display solution may be worth considering. If you are unsure whether this fits the scale of your operation, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£43.55(£52.26 inc VAT)
The Pujadas Adjustable Display Stand is a modular riser designed to add height, layering and visual structure to buffet and food display settings. It allows operators to build tiered presentations from a compact footprint, making better use of available table space without requiring a larger surface area.
In practice, this type of stand is commonly used in hotel banqueting, event catering and restaurant buffet services where presentation matters but setup time is limited. The adjustable design means it can be reconfigured between services to suit different layouts, portion volumes or occasions — useful in venues that run varied event formats throughout the week.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are straightforward:
- Adjustable height allows tiered layouts without additional furniture or props
- Compact flat storage makes it practical to move between service areas or venues
- Minimalist styling suits most contemporary buffet and display setups
- Can be combined with matching Pujadas platters and risers for a consistent look
There are no specific installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of buffet equipment that requires no power, plumbing or fixings. It is worth confirming that the base surface is stable and level, particularly when displaying heavier platters at height.
This stand is well suited to catering operations that run regular buffet or display services and want a tidier, more structured presentation without significant investment. It is a practical choice for event caterers, hotel food and beverage teams and hospitality venues. For larger-scale display requirements or high-footfall buffet stations, a heavier-duty or wider-format option may be worth considering.
If you are building out a full buffet station and want to ensure the components work together, the team is happy to help you put the right combination together.
£7.86(£9.43 inc VAT)
This Olympia display stand is a straightforward tabletop riser designed for buffet and food presentation settings. Constructed from mango wood with metal legs, it provides a raised platform to add visual depth to a buffet spread, bread basket display, or ingredient arrangement.
In practical terms, it's the kind of piece that earns its place on a buffet counter or event table by making a spread look considered and well-presented without requiring any effort to set up. The mango wood surface has a natural, warm appearance that works well alongside both rustic and contemporary table settings, and the metal legs keep it stable on a flat surface during service.
- Mango wood surface wipes clean quickly between service rounds
- Metal legs provide a stable base on flat countertops
- Lightweight enough to reposition easily during buffet setup
- Suitable for dry food items, bread, ingredients, or decorative display
- Works well alongside other wooden or natural-material serveware
It's worth noting that this is a display riser rather than a serving vessel — it's designed to elevate and present items rather than contain liquids or hot food directly. The mango wood surface is best kept to dry or ambient use; it is not suited to prolonged contact with moisture or heat.
This stand is well suited to hotels, cafés, restaurants, and event caterers looking to add structure and height variation to a buffet or breakfast display. For operators running larger buffet formats who need multiple risers or heavier-duty display solutions, it's worth considering the broader range before ordering in volume.
If you're putting together a full buffet display and want to make sure the pieces work together, our team are happy to talk through what you have in mind.
£6.40(£7.68 inc VAT)
This Olympia round display stand is a straightforward riser for buffet tables, food counters, and event catering setups. Constructed from mango wood with a natural grain finish and supported on metal legs, it adds a degree of visual layering to flat table presentations without requiring any particular arrangement skill. The raised platform brings select dishes, ingredients, or decorative items up to a more prominent height, helping guests navigate a spread more easily.
In practice, stands like this are commonly used to break up flat buffet lines — lifting a bread basket, a centrepiece bowl, or a selection of small plates to create depth across a service counter. The mango wood surface has enough texture to hold items securely, and the metal legs keep the stand stable on standard table coverings. It wipes down quickly between service rounds, which matters when buffets are being refreshed during a function.
- Natural mango wood surface with visible grain — suits rustic, informal, and contemporary presentation styles
- Metal legs provide stability on tablecloths and flat surfaces
- Compact footprint works well within a composed buffet layout without dominating space
- Easy to wipe clean between service rounds
- Lightweight enough for front-of-house staff to reposition quickly
This stand is well suited to smaller hospitality venues, private dining setups, and events catering where a modest number of display pieces are needed. For operators running larger buffet counters or requiring a coordinated set across multiple stations, it is worth considering whether a larger size or a matching series of risers would better serve the layout.
If you are putting together a buffet display and want a steer on what works well in practice, we are happy to help.
£10.08(£12.10 inc VAT)
This Olympia round display stand is a simple, well-made riser designed for buffet tables, food stations, and tabletop presentations. Constructed from mango wood with metal legs, it provides a modest lift that adds visual depth to a spread — useful for tiering dishes, showcasing ingredients, or presenting breads, fruits, or small decorative items at eye-catching heights without taking up significant table space.
Mango wood gives the stand a natural, warm appearance with the kind of grain variation that suits informal dining, brunch services, and event catering where a rustic aesthetic is intentional. The metal legs keep it stable on flat surfaces, and the wood surface is straightforward to wipe down between services. It is a practical piece rather than a structural display unit — suited to lighter decorative items and small food presentations rather than heavy platters or serving vessels.
- Adds visual height and layering to buffet and tabletop displays
- Natural mango wood finish suits rustic, informal, and event settings
- Easy to wipe clean for quick turnaround between service periods
- Compact footprint works well as part of a larger tiered display
- Metal legs provide stability on flat buffet surfaces
It is worth considering whether a single stand meets your needs or whether a set of varying heights would better serve your display layout. For high-throughput buffet operations or more formal presentations, heavier or larger-format risers may be more appropriate. This piece works best as part of a considered display arrangement rather than as a standalone focal point.
If you are building out a buffet display and want to discuss what combination of risers and stands would work for your format, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£81.09(£97.31 inc VAT)
The APS two-tier stand is a straightforward chrome plated display stand designed to hold 1/1 GN containers or baskets across two levels. It is primarily used in buffet and self-service settings where food presentation needs to be organised, accessible, and space-efficient.
In a working buffet environment, vertical presentation helps operators make better use of limited counter or table space. Stacking display items on two tiers rather than laying them flat across a surface allows more choice to be presented within a smaller footprint, which is a practical consideration during busy service periods where table space is often at a premium.
The chrome plated finish gives the stand a clean, neutral appearance that sits well alongside most buffet tableware and chafing equipment. Key practical points include:
- Accepts standard 1/1 GN containers and appropriately sized baskets
- Chrome plated steel construction keeps the unit lightweight at under 4kg
- Two-tier layout doubles the display capacity of a single flat stand
- Straightforward to wipe down between services
This stand is a passive display unit with no heating or cooling capability, so it is suited to ambient food presentation or use alongside separate heated or chilled equipment rather than as a standalone temperature-controlled solution. It works well on buffet tables, servery counters, and front-of-house display setups in hotels, event catering, staff restaurants, and similar environments.
For operations needing to display a larger number of GN containers, or requiring a more substantial structure for heavy loaded baskets, a higher-capacity or heavier-duty stand may be more appropriate. If you are unsure which configuration best fits your service layout, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
£166.00(£199.20 inc VAT)
This three-tier display stand from the Pujadas Cubic Buffet Display range is designed to hold 2/3 GN containers across three levels, giving operators a compact, vertically structured presentation solution for buffet and self-service settings.
In practice, the tiered layout makes it straightforward to present multiple food items within a small footprint — useful when counter or table space is limited during breakfast service, event catering, or a la carte buffet setups. Stacking the presentation vertically draws the eye across different dishes and keeps the service area organised without spreading across a wide run of counter.
The stand is part of the wider Pujadas Cubic range, which means it can be combined with other pieces from the same collection to create a coordinated display. This makes it a practical choice for operators who want a consistent visual style across a buffet line without committing to a complex or bespoke setup.
- Accommodates three 2/3 GN containers simultaneously
- Compact vertical footprint keeps buffet runs tidy
- Compatible with the wider Pujadas Cubic Buffet Display range
- Suitable for hotels, event catering, and restaurant buffet service
- Clean, professional presentation without elaborate assembly
For smaller occasional-use setups a single-tier option may be sufficient, while high-volume buffet operations with a wider food range may benefit from a more extensive display configuration.
If you are putting together a buffet display and want to make sure the layout works for your service style, we are happy to talk it through.
£10.88(£13.06 inc VAT)
This Olympia display stand is a straightforward buffet and tabletop riser, built from mango wood with metal legs. It lifts dishes, boards, or ingredients to a raised level, adding visual depth to a buffet spread or service counter without requiring any assembly or setup beyond placing it in position.
In a catering or hospitality context, simple presentation pieces like this carry more operational weight than they might appear to. A tiered buffet layout draws guests through a spread more naturally, reduces crowding at one point, and makes food easier to access. This stand holds its own through a busy service — the mango wood surface is robust enough for regular use and straightforward to wipe down between courses or between events.
- Raises dishes to improve visibility and guest access at a buffet
- Mango wood surface is easy to wipe clean during and after service
- Metal legs provide stable support on flat buffet or table surfaces
- Compact footprint works well alongside other riser heights
- Lightweight enough to reposition quickly during service setup
At just under a kilogram, it is easy to transport and reposition, which suits mobile catering and events work as much as a fixed restaurant buffet. It works best on level, stable surfaces — it is not designed for uneven outdoor terrain. For operations running large or tiered buffet displays, it is worth considering a consistent set of risers at varying heights to achieve a cohesive presentation.
If you are building out a buffet display and want to talk through how different riser heights and materials work together in practice, we are happy to help.
£30.58(£36.70 inc VAT)
This three-tier stand from Olympia is designed to hold 200mm plates in a stacked, tiered arrangement, giving buffet and self-service displays a degree of height and structure that a flat table layout cannot. It is made from mango wood, which has a warm, natural grain that works well alongside food-led displays — particularly cold starters, cheeses, charcuterie, or dessert portions where presentation matters.
In practice, the stand earns its place on a buffet counter by making better use of available table space. Displaying plates across three levels means more covers can be presented within a smaller footprint, which is useful when counter space is limited during service. The natural variation in mango wood means each stand has a slightly individual character, which suits informal or rustic styling rather than contemporary minimal environments.
- Creates vertical height on flat buffet counters
- Suits cold food display, cheese boards, and dessert service
- Natural mango wood grain complements food-led presentations
- Compact enough for side tables and satellite buffet stations
- Easy to wipe down between service periods
It is worth noting that mango wood is a natural material and will require a degree of care — avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or heat sources, and it is not suitable for hot plates. For high-volume or outdoor events, a more robust material may be worth considering.
This stand suits hotel buffets, wedding and event caterers, café counters, and deli-style service points where a natural aesthetic is intentional. If you are setting up a larger display or need a greater number of tiers or a different plate size, it is worth discussing the full range before committing.
If you are unsure whether this fits your display setup, our team is happy to talk it through.
£182.00(£218.40 inc VAT)
The APS Valo three-tier display stand is a wooden riser unit designed for buffet counters, grab-and-go stations, and front-of-house food presentations. Constructed from oak wood, it provides three stepped levels that lift food items to different heights, making it easier for guests to see and access a range of dishes or products without items crowding a flat surface.
In a busy buffet or café setting, vertical display space is often underused. This stand allows operators to arrange multiple food items — breads, pastries, antipasti, condiments, or similar — across tiered levels, keeping the counter surface clear and the overall presentation orderly. The natural oak finish suits informal dining rooms, deli counters, and hospitality settings where a warmer, less clinical aesthetic is appropriate.
- Three stepped tiers create height variation across a compact footprint
- Oak wood construction gives a natural, warm appearance on counter
- Suitable for bread, pastries, antipasti, condiments, and similar items
- Weighing 3.1kg, it is stable on the counter without being cumbersome
- Easy to reposition or store when the display configuration changes
As a freestanding unit, it requires no installation — it simply sits on the counter. It is worth bearing in mind that wooden display pieces are best kept away from wet or heavily steamed areas, and regular wiping down is advisable to maintain the finish in food service environments. It is not intended for use with hot or uncovered food where moisture or heat could affect the wood over time.
This stand suits cafés, hotels, delis, and event catering operators looking to add structure and character to a buffet or display counter. For operations needing larger surface area or more tiers, a heavier-duty or larger-format display unit may be worth considering.
If you are putting together a full buffet counter or display setup and would like guidance on what works well together, the team is happy to help.
£12.12(£14.54 inc VAT)
The Pujadas Round Display Stand is a simple, well-made riser designed to add height and structure to buffet and food display presentations. At 200mm high, it lifts serving platters, boards or bowls to create visual separation between display layers — a practical way to make better use of a flat table surface and help guests navigate a spread more easily.
In use, these stands perform well across a range of hospitality settings. They are commonly found on hotel breakfast and lunch buffets, at catered events, and in restaurant display contexts where the presentation needs to look considered without being overcomplicated. The round form works with most standard serving pieces and suits both informal and more formal table arrangements.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are straightforward:
- Adds height variation to flat buffet layouts, improving visual appeal and guest flow
- Lightweight and easy to reposition between courses or during a running event
- Stores compactly and transports without taking up excessive space in a catering vehicle or storage area
- Clean, minimal styling sits well alongside a wide range of serveware
- Simple to clean down between services
There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone piece that needs no fixing, power or preparation. It is worth considering how it will work alongside your existing serveware in terms of base diameter, as the round footprint suits circular platters and boards more naturally than rectangular ones.
This stand is well suited to event caterers, hotel food and beverage teams, and anyone looking to add a structured, professional look to a buffet without investing in bespoke display furniture. If you are fitting out a larger event or need a coordinated set of risers at different heights, it is worth a conversation with the team to ensure you get the right combination.
£5.74(£6.89 inc VAT)
The Pujadas U-shaped display stand is a simple, practical riser designed to add height and visual structure to buffet and food service presentations. At 60mm high, it lifts platters, boards, or serving pieces off the table surface, creating tiered layouts that are easier for guests to navigate and more effective at using available display space.
In a working buffet or catering environment, presentation matters — but so does practicality. These stands are straightforward to position, reposition, and store between services. The U-shaped form allows platters to overhang slightly, which helps when space is limited or when you want to maximise the footprint of a display without cluttering the table. Multiple stands can be arranged in combination to build layered presentations suited to the occasion and the available surface.
Key practical advantages for operators include:
- Creates tiered height without complex assembly or fixings
- U-shape allows flexible platter placement and easy access from both sides
- Stackable for compact storage between services
- Clean, minimal styling works alongside most serveware and table linen
- Lightweight and easy to transport between rooms or venues
These stands are best suited to hotels, event caterers, restaurants running buffet services, and hospitality venues where presentation quality is expected but setup time is limited. They are a practical smallware rather than a structural display system, so for larger or more complex displays, a fuller riser and stand system may be worth considering.
If you are building out a buffet display setup and want to talk through what combination of risers and serveware would work for your service style, the team is happy to help.
£39.19(£47.03 inc VAT)
The APS VALO pedestal is a solid oak display stand designed to hold three glass carafes in a neat, elevated arrangement. It is a straightforward buffet and table accessory, intended to present carafes tidily at a comfortable height for guests to help themselves or for staff to serve from — rather than leaving them flat on a counter surface where they can appear cluttered or go unnoticed.
In a working hospitality environment, presentation at the buffet or drinks station matters. A raised display draws attention to the carafe selection and signals that care has gone into the setup. The natural oak construction gives a warm, unfussy appearance that works well alongside other natural-material serveware, and the lacquered finish provides adequate protection against routine moisture and spillage from pouring.
- Real oak construction with a waterproof lacquered finish for everyday protection
- Holds three carafes in a stable, organised arrangement
- Elevates carafes for easy guest access and a neater counter presentation
- Suitable for buffets, drinks stations, and table centrepiece displays
- Cleaned with a damp cloth — no special maintenance required
It is worth noting that this is a display accessory rather than a storage solution. The pedestal is best placed in a front-of-house setting where appearance counts; it is not designed for back-of-house stacking or heavy-use service trolleys. Carafes are sold separately.
This stand is well suited to hotels, restaurants, cafés, and event caterers who want to add a degree of considered presentation to their drinks or water service. If you are setting up a larger buffet display or need a different configuration, the team is happy to advise on what tends to work well in practice.
£14.15(£16.98 inc VAT)
The Pujadas Round Display Stand is a simple, purpose-built riser designed to add height and structure to buffet and food display layouts. At 300mm tall, it lifts platters, bowls or boards to a level that makes tiered presentations practical and visually coherent, without requiring elaborate setup or additional equipment.
In catering and hospitality environments, display risers like this earn their place by doing the unglamorous work of making a buffet table legible. Guests can see food clearly across a spread, and front-to-back layering becomes straightforward. The round format works well with circular platters and bowls, and suits both hot and cold display scenarios where height variation improves the overall presentation.
From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Adds a consistent 300mm lift to create defined display tiers
- Round profile pairs naturally with circular serveware and platters
- Lightweight enough to reposition quickly during changeover
- Clean, minimal styling does not compete with the food on display
- Compact footprint when stored between events or services
There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of buffet equipment. It is worth considering the surface load of whatever you place on top, particularly for heavier cast or ceramic serveware, and ensuring the riser is positioned on a stable, level surface during service.
This stand suits caterers, hotel banqueting teams, event hospitality operators, and anyone running a staffed or self-service buffet where presentation quality matters. For larger-scale events or more elaborate tiered setups, taller or multi-level riser options may be worth considering alongside this piece.
If you are building out a full buffet display and want a second opinion on what works together, the team is happy to talk through your setup.
£11.99(£14.39 inc VAT)
This is a solid mango wood display stand designed to raise plates, platters, and bowls on buffet tables and food presentation displays. The rounded rectangular form keeps the overall look clean and considered, while the natural grain of the mango wood gives it a warm, unfussy character that sits comfortably alongside most tableware styles and event settings.
In practical terms, risers like this serve a straightforward purpose: they add height variation to a flat table, making it easier for guests to see and reach items, and allowing operators to use vertical space where surface area is limited. That makes them a useful addition to hotel buffets, event catering setups, restaurant brunch displays, and similar service formats where presentation matters but the table needs to work hard.
A few things worth noting for everyday use:
- FSC-certified mango wood — responsibly sourced with visible natural grain variation
- Rounded rectangular shape suits platters, boards, and larger serving pieces
- Raised leg profile creates useful storage space beneath for smaller items
- Wipe-clean maintenance — avoid soaking or harsh chemical cleaners
- Compact footprint suits tighter table layouts without dominating the display
Being a natural wood product, there will be some variation in grain and tone between pieces, which is worth bearing in mind if you're building a matched set across a large display. It's also not suitable for direct contact with wet or heavily sauced dishes without appropriate serving vessels.
This stand is well suited to operators running occasional events or permanent buffet services who want a natural, tactile look without moving to more expensive bespoke display solutions. If you're fitting out a larger display or need several risers at different heights, it's worth having a conversation about how best to layer and proportion your setup — feel free to get in touch with the team.
£10.16(£12.19 inc VAT)
The Pujadas Round Display Stand is a straightforward buffet riser designed to add height and structure to food presentations. At 100mm tall, it lifts platters, boards or serving dishes to create a tiered effect across a buffet table or food station, making layouts easier to read and more practical for guests to navigate.
In a working buffet environment, vertical layering makes a real difference to how a spread functions. Raising certain dishes draws the eye, separates food types visually, and frees up table space by stacking the presentation across levels rather than spreading it flat. This stand is commonly used in hotel buffets, event catering, banqueting, and café counter displays where presentation quality matters.
- Adds a clear 100mm of height to create defined buffet layers
- Round profile suits circular platters, boards and bowls
- Minimalist styling works across modern and traditional settings
- Lightweight and easy to handle, stack and transport between services
- Designed to combine with other risers for more complex tiered layouts
There are no installation requirements — this is a purely practical smallware that requires no tools or preparation. It is worth considering the diameter of your serving pieces before ordering to ensure a good fit, and if you are building a full tiered display, mixing heights across your riser selection will generally produce a more balanced result than using a single height throughout.
This stand suits operators who run regular buffet or display services and want a clean, reusable solution that packs away neatly between events. If you are building out a full display system or need advice on combining risers across a larger station, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£122.00(£146.40 inc VAT)
The APS Valo two-tier wooden display stand is a straightforward buffet riser designed to add height and structure to counter presentations. Constructed from oak wood, it has a natural, unfussy appearance that sits comfortably alongside rustic, artisan, and contemporary buffet styling without demanding attention for itself.
In practical terms, the two-tier format makes better use of limited counter space by allowing different foods or serving vessels to be staggered at different heights. This improves visibility across the buffet and helps guests move through a spread more easily during service — a small detail that can make a noticeable difference at busy events or in self-service dining environments.
It is well suited to hotels, event caterers, café buffets, and restaurant brunch or sharing menus where display presentation matters but simplicity and ease of setup are equally important. The wooden construction is robust enough for regular hospitality use, though it is best kept away from wet or heavily steam-exposed areas to preserve the finish over time.
If you are building out a larger buffet display arrangement or need multiple risers across a long counter run, it is worth considering how this piece sits alongside other display elements in terms of height and style. Our team is happy to help you think through a cohesive setup if you are planning something more substantial.
£123.00(£147.60 inc VAT)
The Churchill Alchemy 2 Tier Plate Tower is a straightforward tiered display stand designed for presenting food across multiple levels at the table or on a buffet. Supplied as a pack of two, the stands are finished in white and silver, which sits comfortably within the broader Alchemy range and works well alongside Churchill's coordinating tableware.
In practice, these towers are most commonly used for afternoon tea service, sharing boards, tapas, hors d'oeuvres, and cheese presentations. The two-tier format keeps food visible and accessible without taking up excessive table space — a useful quality in restaurants and event venues where covers are tight and presentation still matters.
- Compact footprint suits smaller café and restaurant table layouts
- Two-tier format lifts presentation without complicating service
- White and silver finish integrates with Alchemy tableware collections
- Supplied as a pair, reducing per-unit cost for venues needing multiples
- Suited to afternoon tea, sharing plate, and buffet formats
These are tabletop display pieces rather than structural catering equipment, so there are no installation requirements. It is worth considering how the towers will be stored and handled between services — like all tiered display stands, they benefit from careful stacking to avoid chipping the finish over time.
Well suited to hotels, tearooms, restaurants, and event caterers running afternoon tea or sharing plate menus. For operators needing a three-tier format or a larger footprint for high-volume buffet displays, alternatives within the range may be worth considering.
If you're putting together a full afternoon tea or sharing plate setup and want to make sure everything coordinates, we're happy to help you work through the options.
£4.84(£5.81 inc VAT)
The Pujadas U-shaped display stand is a low-profile riser designed to introduce height variation into buffet and food display layouts. At 30mm, it provides a modest but effective lift that allows platters, boards and serving pieces to sit at staggered levels, making a display easier to read and more accessible for guests.
In practice, these stands earn their place on busy buffet runs and carvery counters where a flat presentation quickly looks cluttered or uninviting. Introducing even a single tier of height draws the eye across the spread and helps portions remain visible and reachable throughout service. The U-shaped form is particularly useful because it leaves the centre open, allowing taller centrepiece items or tiered stands to pass through or sit within the footprint without disruption to the overall layout.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:
- Lightweight and easy to reposition between courses or services
- Clean, minimal profile that suits most modern buffet and hospitality aesthetics
- U-shape allows flexible arrangement around centrepiece items
- Simple to wipe down and stack for storage or transport
- Can be combined with other riser heights for layered display builds
There are no installation requirements — these stands require no fixings, power or water. They are suitable for any surface that can safely bear the combined weight of the stand and whatever is placed on it. As a 30mm riser, this piece works best as part of a multi-height display system rather than as a standalone solution; if significant height variation is the priority, pairing with taller risers from the same range will give a more structured result.
Well suited to hotels, event caterers, contract caterers and restaurants running a buffet service who want a neat, consistent presentation without significant outlay. If you are building out a full display system and are unsure which combination of heights and formats will work for your covers and table layout, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£6.74(£8.09 inc VAT)
The Pujadas U-shaped display stand is a simple riser designed to add height and visual structure to buffet and food service presentations. At 90mm high, it lifts platters, boards or serving pieces to create a tiered effect, making better use of available table space and helping guests navigate a spread more easily.
In practice, this kind of riser is a staple of well-organised buffet setups — whether in a hotel, event catering environment, or a restaurant running a cold display. The U-shaped profile keeps things stable while leaving the area beneath open, which is useful for tucking in smaller items or maintaining a clean look across the table.
The main operational advantages are straightforward:
- Adds a second level to flat displays without requiring additional furniture
- Helps separate dishes visually, making buffet lines easier to read
- Lightweight and easy to reposition between services or events
- Stores compactly when not in use
- Suits a range of platter sizes and serving vessels
There are no installation requirements — this is a purely practical piece of smallware. It works best on stable, flat surfaces and is suited to indoor catering use. It is worth confirming the footprint works with your existing platters and table layout before ordering in quantity.
This stand is well suited to caterers, events teams and hospitality operators who want a clean, repeatable way to add height to their displays without overcomplicating the setup. If you are equipping a larger event or need a different height profile, it is worth having a conversation with us about what combination of risers would work best for your service.
£71.18(£85.42 inc VAT)
The APS Valo three-tier display stand is a straightforward wooden riser designed for buffet counters, breakfast stations, and self-service setups. Made from wood with a natural oak finish, it provides three staggered levels that allow food items, condiments, or small serving vessels to be displayed at varying heights within a compact footprint.
In a busy buffet or counter service environment, the ability to present multiple items clearly without spreading them across a wide surface area is a genuine operational advantage. This stand helps operators make better use of limited counter space whilst keeping a display visually organised and accessible for guests. The tiered layout also draws attention across the spread, which supports a more considered presentation at breakfast or carvery stations.
- Three display levels make efficient use of vertical counter space
- Natural wood finish suits relaxed dining, rustic, and bistro settings
- Compact circular footprint keeps the counter arrangement tidy
- Lightweight construction at 1.7kg makes repositioning straightforward
- Suitable for food items, condiments, and small serving dishes
There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding, portable display piece that requires no fixings or assembly beyond placement. It is not designed for hot food service directly on the tiers and should be used with appropriate serving vessels where food safety is a consideration. The wood construction suits front-of-house environments where aesthetics matter, though it is worth considering how it fits alongside your existing serviceware and table styling.
This stand is well suited to hotels, cafés, bistros, and event caterers running buffet or self-service formats where a natural, unfussy aesthetic is appropriate. It works particularly well at breakfast stations or afternoon tea displays. For operators needing a more substantial or larger-format tiered display, there are alternative options within the range worth considering.
If you are putting together a buffet display and are unsure whether this fits alongside other pieces you have in mind, feel free to get in touch — it is often worth talking through the full counter layout before ordering.

The Olympia mango wood two-tier stand is a straightforward display piece designed for front-of-house use in cafés, hotels, and casual dining settings. It presents cakes, pastries, afternoon tea selections, or fruit across two staggered levels, making use of vertical space without taking up a large footprint on the counter or table.
Made from FSC-certified mango wood, the stand has a natural grain and warm colouring that sits comfortably in informal dining rooms, café counters, and buffet stations. The two-tier format keeps displays accessible to guests while maintaining a tidy, considered arrangement that suits both self-service and assisted service environments.
In practical terms, the stand works well where a straightforward, low-maintenance display solution is needed:
- Natural wood finish requires no specialist cleaning — wipe down between services
- Two-tier layout keeps a range of items visible and within reach
- Compact base suits busy counters where space is limited
- FSC-certified wood suitable for operators with sustainability commitments
It is worth noting that mango wood, like most natural materials, is not suitable for wet or high-humidity environments and should be kept away from direct heat sources. It is a display and service piece, not a food preparation surface.
This stand is a practical fit for independent cafés, hotel afternoon tea service, and buffet counters where a natural aesthetic is preferred over ceramic or acrylic alternatives. For higher-volume buffet settings requiring multiple units or larger display capacity, it is worth considering heavier or wider options from the broader range.
If you are unsure whether this suits your counter layout or service style, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

This Olympia three-tier serving stand consists of three graduated acacia wood trays mounted on a central display stand. It is designed to present finger foods, canapés, pastries, or desserts in a layered arrangement that takes up relatively little table space — a practical consideration during buffet service or where table real estate is limited.
In a working service environment, the tiered format helps guests move through a buffet display more easily, with different items visible and accessible at different heights. Acacia wood has a naturally warm grain appearance that suits relaxed dining settings, informal hospitality, and catered events where the presentation style leans toward natural or rustic aesthetics. The wipe-clean surface makes turnaround between service periods straightforward.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Lightweight construction makes it easy to reposition during service or transport between venue areas
- The compact footprint suits trestle tables, sideboards, and service counters without dominating the layout
- Wipe-clean acacia surfaces support basic hygiene between service periods
- The stand disassembles for easier storage when not in use
- The warm wood finish works well alongside other natural or neutral serviceware
This stand is suited to restaurants, hotels, event caterers, and café operators who run buffet or self-service formats. It is a light-duty presentation piece rather than a structural serving unit, so it is best used for dry or lightly dressed foods rather than heavy platters or wet dishes. For higher-volume or more robust display requirements, a heavier-duty alternative may be worth considering.
If you are putting together a buffet layout or setting up a service display and want to talk through what works in practice, we are happy to help.
