Food Service Trays

The Beaumont tip tray is a straightforward plastic bill and gratuity tray designed for front-of-house table service. It features a built-in clip that holds receipts, folded bills, or notes in place, which is particularly useful in outdoor settings or anywhere with air movement that might otherwise scatter loose items.

In practice, it does exactly what a tip tray needs to do: gives customers a clear, tidy place to leave payment or a gratuity without any awkwardness. The black finish is neutral enough to sit unobtrusively on most table settings, and the lightweight plastic construction makes it easy for both staff and customers to handle during busy service periods.

• Built-in clip keeps receipts and cash secure at the table
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Neutral black finish suits most dining environments
• Lightweight and easy for customers to handle
• Wipes clean quickly between covers

There are no installation requirements — this is a table-top item requiring no preparation beyond ensuring you have sufficient quantity for your cover count and service style. For high-volume venues turning tables rapidly, having an adequate number in rotation matters more than any single product feature.

This tray suits cafés, restaurants, bars, and casual dining operations where a clean, functional bill presentation is needed without a premium presentation folder. It is a practical everyday item rather than a premium front-of-house accessory — operators looking for something with a more refined finish or leather-style presentation may want to consider an alternative from the bill presenter range.

If you're unsure how many to order for your cover count or want guidance on bill presentation options across the range, the team is happy to help you work it out.

This Olympia rectangular tray is made from acacia wood and is intended for food presentation and service in buffet, hospitality, and café environments. The natural grain and warm colouring of acacia make it a practical choice where operators want to move away from standard laminate or melamine trays without moving to a fragile or high-maintenance material.

Acacia is a reasonably hard-wearing timber that holds up well in front-of-house use. It is well suited to displaying bread, charcuterie, cheese, pastries, and similar items at a buffet counter or on a table, where presentation carries as much weight as practicality. At this size it works comfortably as an individual sharing board or as part of a larger display arrangement.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

• Natural wood surface presents food well without additional dressing or liners
• Solid construction handles everyday front-of-house use without flexing
• Lightweight at under 1kg, easy to carry and reposition during service
• Suitable for dry foods — not designed for wet or sauced dishes without a liner
• Wipe-clean between services; not suitable for dishwasher use

It is worth noting that acacia trays require a degree of care to maintain their appearance over time. They should be hand-washed and dried promptly rather than soaked or machine-washed, and occasional oiling will help preserve the surface. For operators running high-turnover buffet services where trays go through the dishwasher several times a day, a laminate or melamine option is likely to be more practical.

This tray is best suited to hotels, event caterers, café operators, and hospitality venues where presentation matters and the front-of-house team can manage routine care. If you are equipping a larger display or need to match it within an existing tableware scheme, it is worth having a conversation with us before ordering in volume.

This round serving tray from Olympia is made from solid acacia wood, offering a natural grain finish with warm brown tones that vary slightly from piece to piece. The integrated metal handles sit at either side, giving servers a secure grip when carrying drinks, light plates, or sharing boards to the table.

Acacia is a practical choice for front-of-house use — it is a dense, naturally durable hardwood that holds up reasonably well to daily service, though like all wood trays it benefits from hand-washing rather than dishwasher use to preserve the finish over time. It suits casual dining, café counter service, and bar settings where the natural aesthetic fits the presentation style.

• Solid acacia construction with natural grain variation — no two trays are identical
• Metal handles provide a stable grip for single-handed or two-handed carrying
• Generously sized to carry drinks, small plates, or sharing items in one trip
• Suits rustic, casual, and natural-material table settings
• Hand-wash recommended to maintain the wood finish long-term

It is worth considering the intended use before ordering. Acacia trays are well suited to ambient service — drinks rounds, bread service, light snacks — rather than heavy plated main courses where a more substantial tray may be a better fit. For higher-volume operations running continuous table service, a laminate or melamine alternative may offer easier cleaning and longer consistent appearance.

If you are putting together a front-of-house presentation scheme and want to make sure this tray fits the brief, the team are happy to help you think it through.

This is a simple, lightweight plastic tip tray from Beaumont, designed for presenting guest bills and receiving gratuities at the table or bar. The tray is printed with a 'Thank You' message, which fits naturally into the bill presentation moment without requiring any additional interaction from front-of-house staff.

In practical service use, a tray like this earns its place through sheer reliability. It handles the routine of busy covers without issue — passed between staff and guests repeatedly across a service, stacked neatly when not in use, and easy to wipe down between sittings. At 46g it's light enough that customers can handle it comfortably, and the compact footprint keeps table space clear.

• Lightweight plastic construction handles repeated daily use
• 'Thank You' print adds a small but considered hospitality touch
• Compact size suits both table and bar counter use
• Easy to clean between covers
• Stackable for tidy storage during quieter periods

There's nothing complex to consider with installation or setup — this tray requires no preparation and fits straight into service. It suits restaurants, cafés, bars, and any hospitality setting where staff present bills to guests. For high-volume venues running multiple simultaneous covers, buying in sufficient quantity to rotate through service is worth factoring in.

If you're unsure how many you need for your service setup, or you're looking at broader table service requirements, the team is happy to help you think it through.

This Olympia tip tray is a straightforward piece of table service equipment designed for presenting bills and receiving gratuities at the table. The curved stainless steel body gives it a clean, professional appearance, and the integrated bill clip holds receipts or cards securely without folding or presentation wallets. At a practical size for tableside use, it sits neatly without taking up unnecessary space on a cover.

Stainless steel construction makes it well suited to the demands of regular front-of-house use — resistant to tarnishing, easy to wipe clean between covers, and durable enough to handle the everyday wear of a busy dining room or bar. It presents better than plastic alternatives and holds up reliably through repeated service cycles.

• Resists tarnishing and staining through regular service use
• Bill clip keeps receipts and cards presented neatly
• Curved form sits flat and stable on tablecloths or bare surfaces
• Easy to clean quickly between covers during busy service
• Suitable for restaurants, bars, hotels, and café environments

There are no installation requirements — this is a loose piece of tableware. It is worth considering the overall aesthetic of your table service when selecting tip trays; for more formal settings, a heavier or more premium finish may be more appropriate, while this model works well in mid-range casual dining and bar environments.

If you are equipping a larger operation or want to discuss table service accessories as part of a broader front-of-house setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Cambro Versatray Century is a laminate-finish service tray designed for front-of-house use in cafés, restaurants, staff canteens, and similar hospitality environments. The light oak textured wood effect gives it a warmer, more natural appearance than standard solid-colour trays, making it a practical choice for operators who want serviceware that fits a casual dining or bistro aesthetic without the fragility of real wood.

Constructed from polyester, the tray is lightweight enough for comfortable one-handed carrying during busy service whilst remaining robust under daily commercial use. The non-slip surface helps reduce spillages during transit between kitchen and table, which is particularly useful in fast-paced environments where staff are moving quickly. At 330x430mm it sits comfortably within a standard tray size, accommodating a main course plate alongside a drink or side without becoming unwieldy.

• Non-slip surface reduces spillage risk during service
• Wood effect finish suits casual dining and café settings
• Lightweight polyester construction for comfortable extended use
• Easy to wipe down and stack between service periods
• Consistent finish supports a uniform front-of-house presentation

From a practical standpoint, these trays stack neatly for storage and are straightforward to clean down between covers. They are not intended for heavy tray-service operations such as large-scale banqueting or hospital ward rounds, where heavier-duty trays with reinforced edges tend to hold up better over time. For lower-volume or lighter-use settings, this tray strikes a sensible balance between appearance and durability.

This tray is well suited to independent cafés, small restaurants, hotel breakfast service, and staff dining facilities where presentation matters but budgets are managed carefully. Operators running higher-volume tray service may find a heavier-duty option more appropriate for their throughput.

If you are unsure which tray specification suits your service style or volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Churchill Alchemy acacia wood buffet trays are solid, handled rectangular trays intended for front-of-house food presentation and carrying. Each tray is made from acacia wood, which gives a natural, tactile finish well suited to sharing menus, buffet displays, and informal dining formats. The handles make them practical for carrying multiple small plates or sharing portions from kitchen to table or across a buffet station.

Acacia wood's natural grain means each tray has its own slight variation in appearance, which tends to work in favour of relaxed, informal settings. It suits the kind of service where presentation carries some personality — tapas, antipasti, afternoon tea, or event catering — rather than formally plated covers where consistency of surface finish matters more. The trays have a solid feel in the hand when loaded, without being difficult to carry.

In practice, these trays are commonly used for:

• Carrying multiple small plates or tapas dishes from kitchen to table
• Buffet and self-service food display at ambient temperature
• Sharing boards, antipasti, and charcuterie presentation
• Afternoon tea and light snack service
• Event catering and pop-up food presentation

Acacia wood does require some care in service. These trays are not suitable for dishwasher use or prolonged exposure to moisture, and hot cookware should not be placed directly on the surface. For high-cover venues where trays are handled heavily throughout the day, a laminate alternative is worth considering alongside these.

They come in packs of four, which suits smaller operations or an initial trial before committing to larger quantities. Larger venues running consistent buffet or sharing service will likely need to order in greater numbers to maintain uniform presentation across covers.

If you are weighing up whether acacia wood suits your service style and volume, the team is happy to help you think it through.

This Cambro laminate tray is a practical choice for room service and hospitality food delivery operations. At 640mm wide, it provides a generous carrying surface for plated covers, beverages, and condiments, while the laminate construction keeps the overall weight low — an important consideration for staff carrying loaded trays across multiple floors or long corridors.

The venge-finish handles are a functional feature as much as an aesthetic one. They give staff a secure, comfortable grip when carrying fully loaded trays, reducing the risk of spillage during service. The laminate surface is straightforward to wipe down between uses, which supports basic hygiene standards in a room service environment where trays cycle regularly.

• Laminate surface cleans down quickly between service rounds
• Venge handles provide a secure, comfortable grip under load
• Stackable design makes storage efficient in tight back-of-house areas
• Rated for use across a broad temperature range, suitable for ambient and chilled delivery
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue for staff on extended service runs

Being stackable, these trays store compactly on a tray rack or shelf, which is useful where back-of-house storage is limited. They are well suited to hotels, serviced apartments, and similar hospitality settings where a consistent, presentable tray is needed across a fleet. For very high-volume operations or those requiring a more formal presentation finish, heavier-duty or premium-surface options may be worth considering.

If you are equipping a room service operation and are unsure how many trays to stock or which format best suits your service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

This is a straightforward folding tray stand made from chromed steel, designed to hold service trays at waist height during food and beverage service. It folds flat when not in use, making it practical in environments where storage space is limited between services.

In day-to-day front-of-house use, a tray stand like this earns its keep by giving waiting staff a stable resting point when delivering or clearing plates. It reduces the need to return to the kitchen between courses and helps maintain a tidier service flow in the dining area. Chrome-plated steel offers reasonable durability for the demands of regular restaurant or banqueting use, and the folding mechanism means stands can be stacked away quickly during turnaround.

• Folds flat for compact storage between services
• Chrome finish is straightforward to wipe clean
• Lightweight enough for front-of-house staff to reposition easily
• Suitable for pairing with oval service trays

No special installation is required — these stands are freestanding and ready to use. They are best kept on level flooring, and the folding legs should be checked periodically to ensure the locking mechanism remains secure under load. This is not a heavy-duty catering trolley; it is a tray rest intended for light service use.

Well suited to restaurants, hotels, and banqueting operations that run tray service regularly. For higher-volume or more demanding environments, a heavier-gauge alternative may be worth considering. If you are equipping a large function space and need to confirm quantities or compatibility with your existing tray sizes, the team is happy to help you work that through.

The Cambro Capri is a laminate serving tray finished in a walnut effect, sized at 360 x 460mm. It is constructed with a double layer of food-grade melamine, giving it a smooth, consistent surface that presents well in formal tray service settings such as hotel dining, room service, and restaurant front-of-house operations.

In day-to-day service, the melamine construction holds up well against the knocks and spills typical of a busy pass or tray collection point. The surface resists staining and chemical cleaning agents, which matters in environments where trays are turned around quickly between covers. It can be run through a commercial dishwasher once per day, keeping cleaning straightforward without compromising the finish over time.

From an operational standpoint, the Capri tray offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Smooth laminate surface wipes clean quickly between uses
• Resistant to common food stains and cleaning chemicals
• Consistent walnut finish maintains appearance across a matched set
• Food-grade melamine construction throughout
• Suitable for daily commercial dishwasher cycles

It is worth bearing in mind that this tray is designed for front-of-house tray service rather than heavy production use. The once-daily dishwasher guideline is worth observing to preserve the laminate surface long-term — operators putting trays through multiple wash cycles per day may find the finish degrades more quickly than expected.

The Capri walnut tray is well suited to hotels, restaurants, and cafés where a consistent, presentable tray service is part of the guest experience. For higher-volume operations or environments where trays take more punishment, a heavier-duty option may be worth considering.

If you are putting together a tray service programme or need to match trays across a larger operation, we are happy to talk through quantities and suitability.

This is a small, lightweight ABS plastic tip tray from Olympia, finished in black with a 'Thank You' engraving. It is the kind of understated piece that sits at the end of a transaction — used to present a bill, return change, or simply give guests a natural moment to leave a gratuity.

In front-of-house use, consistency in the small details matters. A dedicated tip tray signals a degree of polish without drawing attention to itself, and the engraved 'Thank You' keeps the gesture straightforward and professional. The black finish works with most table service settings, from casual dining to smarter bistro environments.

At 80g, it is light enough to handle easily during service but substantial enough to sit flat on a table without shifting. The ABS plastic construction makes it easy to wipe down between uses, which is a practical consideration in any busy service environment where tip trays pass through many hands over the course of a shift.

This tray is well suited to restaurants, cafés, bars, and hotel food and beverage operations. It is a straightforward, low-cost addition to table service that performs a consistent role without requiring much thought. For operators running high volumes who need larger or more durable presentation options, there are alternative styles worth considering.

If you are putting together a table service setup and want to talk through what works best for your environment, the team is happy to help.

The Beaumont tip tray is a straightforward plastic bill presenter designed for front-of-house table service. It provides a neat, professional way to deliver the bill to a guest and receive payment or a tip in return — a small detail that contributes to the overall impression of a well-run dining room.

Made from plastic and finished in plain black, it sits unobtrusively on the table without drawing attention to itself. The neutral colour works across most table settings and service styles, from casual dining through to smarter bistro environments. At 46g it is light enough for guests to handle comfortably and easy for floor staff to carry multiples of during a busy service.

Practically speaking, this kind of tray is a consumable item in most operations — they see heavy daily handling, go through frequent wipes, and occasionally get lost or broken. Having a reliable stock of them on hand avoids those small but disruptive gaps in service presentation.

• Keeps bill presentation consistent and tidy throughout service
• Neutral black finish suits most dining room aesthetics
• Lightweight and easy for guests and staff to handle
• Simple to wipe clean between covers
• Suitable for buying in quantity as a replenishment item

This is a good choice for cafés, restaurants, bars, and hotel dining rooms that want a clean, no-fuss bill presenter at a sensible price point. If you need a premium or branded finish, it is worth getting in touch — we can point you in the right direction.

This is a full GN 1/1 service tray from APS, made from highly polished 18/10 stainless steel. It sits within the standard gastronorm footprint, making it straightforwardly compatible with most GN-based counters, chafing dish frames, and buffet display equipment in general use across the industry.

In a service environment, consistency of format matters. Because this tray follows the GN 1/1 dimension, it works predictably alongside other GN equipment — whether you're setting up a hot buffet, a cold display, or a simple front-of-house food presentation. The 18/10 stainless construction resists staining and holds up well to regular washing and the general wear of a busy service rotation.

• Sits flush with standard GN counters and chafing frames
• Polished finish presents well on buffet counters and food stations
• Resists staining and discolouration through regular use and washing
• Straightforward to clean by hand or through a commercial glasswasher
• Consistent GN sizing supports smooth stock rotation alongside other trays

At just over a kilogram, the tray is light enough for front-of-house handling without feeling insubstantial. There are no installation requirements — it's a passive piece of smallwares that slots into existing buffet or display setups.

This tray suits hotels, restaurants, event caterers, and contract catering operations running GN-format buffet or display equipment. If you're stocking a larger operation or need deeper or fractional GN sizes, there are other formats worth considering alongside this one.

If you're unsure which tray format works best for your setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Olympia Kristallon oval tray is a straightforward, practical carrying tray made from polypropylene and finished with a non-slip surface. At 685mm across its longest dimension, it sits at the larger end of the standard oval tray range, making it well suited to carrying multiple plates, drinks, or a combination of both in a single trip.

Polypropylene is the material of choice in most commercial front-of-house operations for good reason — it is light enough to carry comfortably at arm's length during a busy service, resistant to the knocks and drops that come with a high-footfall environment, and easy to clean and stack at the end of a shift. The non-slip surface gives staff greater confidence when moving quickly between tables or across smooth flooring, which reduces the risk of load shift and spillage.

In practical terms, a tray this size works well in restaurants, hotel dining rooms, banqueting operations, and staff canteens where staff are covering ground quickly and need to consolidate trips. The black finish is a neutral choice that works across most table settings without drawing attention to the tray itself.

• Non-slip surface helps prevent load shift during service
• Polypropylene construction is lightweight and resistant to everyday impact
• Oval format suits multi-plate and mixed drink-and-plate loads
• Easy to wipe clean and stack for storage
• Black finish suits most front-of-house environments

If you are equipping a larger operation or need trays in a specific quantity, it is worth having a conversation about which size and format suits your service style best. We are happy to help you work that out.

The Cambro Sahara is a rectangular buffet and meal service tray measuring 340x460mm, constructed from fibreglass-reinforced polyester. It is a straightforward, workhorse tray designed to handle the repetitive demands of high-throughput food service environments — cafeterias, staff canteens, school dining halls, and healthcare catering among them.

Fibreglass-reinforced polyester is a well-established material choice for this application. It resists staining, surface scratching, and the cleaning chemicals used in commercial dishwasher cycles, and it holds up against the temperature variation that comes with continuous service use. The reinforced corners help the tray withstand the knocks and drops that are unavoidable in busy self-service settings. Cambro back their construction with a five-year warranty, which reflects how this tray is intended to perform over time rather than as a short-term consumable.

From an operational standpoint, the tray stacks reliably and includes stacking lugs that hold trays apart after washing, allowing airflow and faster drying — a practical detail that matters when trays are cycling through quickly during a service period.

• Passes through commercial dishwashers without deterioration over time
• Stacking lugs speed up drying and keep stacks stable in storage
• Resistant to the stains and chemical exposure common in busy canteen environments
• Reinforced corners reduce breakage from everyday handling and drops

At this size, the tray suits standard cafeteria counter layouts and is a sensible choice for most meal service operations. Sites running very high daily tray counts may want to consider heavier-gauge alternatives from the wider range.

If you are specifying trays across a larger site or want to confirm the right quantity and configuration for your service setup, we are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Kristallon round tray is a fibreglass serving tray with a textured non-slip surface, produced in a 356mm diameter format and finished in black. It is a straightforward, practical piece of front-of-house equipment designed for daily use in cafés, restaurants, canteens, and similar food service environments.

In service, the non-slip surface does the job it needs to — reducing the risk of crockery, glasses, and plated dishes shifting during transit between kitchen and table. Fibreglass construction keeps the tray light enough for comfortable single-handed carrying while providing the durability needed to withstand regular use, repeated washing, and the general handling that comes with a busy service. At 590g, it sits in a practical weight range that works for most front-of-house staff across a full shift.

The black finish is a sensible choice for most settings — it presents well on the floor, masks surface wear over time, and suits both casual and more formal dining environments. The round format suits trays being carried by a single server and works well for drinks rounds, light bites, or smaller plate runs.

• Non-slip surface helps keep items stable during service
• Fibreglass construction balances durability with low carrying weight
• Black finish suits a range of service environments and masks everyday wear
• Easy to wipe down and stack during and after service

For very high-volume operations or sites requiring larger tray formats, it is worth considering whether a different size or a heavier-gauge option would better suit throughput requirements. If you are equipping a larger team and want to talk through quantities or formats, we are happy to help.

This is a small, round stainless steel tray intended for presenting bills and receiving gratuities at the table. At 150mm in diameter, it is compact enough to sit unobtrusively on a dining table without taking up unnecessary space, while remaining large enough to hold a folded receipt or card payment slip comfortably.

In front-of-house service, presentation matters at every touchpoint, including the bill. A dedicated tip tray keeps the process clean and straightforward — staff place the bill, the diner places payment or a card, and the exchange is handled without awkwardness. Stainless steel wears well in daily service use and is easy to wipe down between covers.

• Lightweight enough for effortless one-handed handling by floor staff
• Stackable for tidy storage during mise en place or between services
• Stainless steel finish suits most front-of-house table settings
• Compact footprint avoids intruding on the dining table

This tray is well suited to restaurants, cafés, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where a simple, consistent bill presentation is part of the service standard. For higher-volume operations or venues wanting a more substantial feel at the table, heavier or larger format options are worth considering.

If you are equipping a full front-of-house operation and want guidance on matching tableware and service accessories to your venue's style, the team is happy to help.

The Olympia Kristallon fast food tray is a straightforward polypropylene serving tray designed for high-turnover food service environments. It is sold individually and is a common choice for canteens, school dining halls, workplace restaurants, and fast food counters where trays see repeated daily use across multiple sittings.

In busy service periods, a tray needs to do a simple job reliably: carry plates, cups, and cutlery safely from counter to table without slipping or flexing. The Kristallon's textured surface helps reduce movement of items during transit, and the raised lip around the perimeter provides a degree of protection against minor spills reaching the edges. The polypropylene construction keeps the tray light enough for easy one-handed handling, which matters when staff are moving quickly during peak service.

From an operational standpoint, these trays hold up well in high-volume environments where cleaning time is limited. Key practical points include:

• Dishwasher-safe construction for efficient turnaround between sittings
• Lightweight build reduces fatigue during fast-paced service
• Textured surface helps stabilise crockery and cups in transit
• Raised lip adds a degree of containment against spills
• Straightforward to wipe down for quick interim cleans

There are no installation requirements — these trays require only suitable storage space and a compatible dishwasher for cleaning. For sites running very large covers or requiring trays with additional grip features or different dimensions, it is worth considering whether a different size or profile would better suit your layout and service style.

These trays are well suited to school canteens, staff restaurants, fast food counters, and similar operations where durability, ease of cleaning, and low replacement cost are the priorities. If you are equipping a new site or replacing stock in volume, feel free to get in touch — it is worth a quick conversation to make sure you are ordering the right quantity and specification for your operation.
