Non-Slip Trays

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.

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 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 Versatray Century is a mid-size food service tray designed for front-of-house use in cafés, restaurants, and similar hospitality environments. Made from polyester with a textured wood effect surface in light olive, it presents a more considered aesthetic than a plain plastic tray while retaining the practical non-slip properties operators need during a busy service.

The non-slip surface does the everyday work that matters most — reducing the chance of drinks and crockery shifting in transit from kitchen pass to table. The textured finish also helps disguise minor surface wear over time, which is a practical consideration in settings where trays go through heavy daily use and repeated cleaning cycles.

• Non-slip surface helps prevent items shifting during service
• Textured wood effect finish suits front-of-house presentation
• Lightweight polyester construction easy to handle through a long shift
• Light olive colour coordinates across mixed tray fleets
• Suitable for repeated commercial cleaning routines

At 360x460mm, this tray works well for standard café and bistro service — accommodating a couple of drinks and light food items comfortably. It is worth noting that for operations carrying heavier loads, such as full main-course covers or substantial bar service, a larger or more heavily built tray may be a better fit.

This size and style is well suited to cafés, hotel lounges, staff restaurants, and casual dining settings where a clean, natural-look tray complements the table environment. High-volume banqueting or room service operations with heavier load requirements may find a larger format more appropriate.

If you are standardising trays across a new opening or refreshing an existing fleet and want to talk through sizes, quantities, or colour options, the team is happy to help.

The Cambro Camtread is a rectangular fibreglass serving tray designed for commercial food service use. The defining feature is its moulded non-skid rubber surface, which keeps plates, bowls, and glassware stable during transit — a practical consideration wherever staff are carrying loaded trays across busy floors.

Fibreglass construction gives the tray a good balance of rigidity and low weight, and it holds up well under the repeated handling and commercial dishwashing cycles that quickly degrade lesser trays. The surface texture and black finish retain their appearance over time without significant fading or peeling, which matters when presentation is part of the service standard.

In day-to-day use, the Camtread suits a range of front-of-house environments:

• Non-slip surface reduces the risk of dinnerware shifting during service
• Fibreglass construction withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Stackable design keeps storage compact and tidy
• Rectangular format maximises usable surface area for plated covers
• Consistent finish supports a professional table service appearance

There are no electrical, gas, or plumbing requirements. Storage space and a suitable tray stand or rack are the only practical considerations. The rectangular format is well suited to plated meal service and is commonly used in hotels, contract catering, and staff restaurants. For lighter casual use or beverage service, a smaller format tray may be more practical — and for very high-volume operations where trays are in near-constant rotation, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or larger tray better fits the workflow.

If you are equipping a new operation or replacing existing trays and want to make sure you are choosing the right size and quantity for your service style, the team is happy to help you think it through.

This is a lightweight aluminium drinks tray from Beaumont, finished with a non-slip surface to help staff carry glasses and bottles safely during service. The round format suits bar counters and table service environments where staff are moving quickly and carrying multiple drinks at once.

The non-slip surface does the practical work here — it keeps glassware stable on the tray as staff navigate a busy floor, reducing the risk of spillage and breakage. Aluminium keeps the overall weight low, which matters when staff are carrying trays repeatedly across a shift. It is a straightforward, dependable piece of front-of-house kit that holds up well with regular daily use and cleaning.

• Non-slip surface reduces glass movement during service
• Lightweight aluminium construction eases carrying over long shifts
• Round format suits bar service and drinks-only carrying
• Easy to wipe down between uses

This size works well for carrying a small round of drinks — typically four to six standard glasses depending on size. For higher-volume table service or carrying food alongside drinks, a larger rectangular tray may be a more practical choice.

If you are unsure which tray size or style best suits your service style or team, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Cambro Camtread is a fibreglass oval service tray finished in black, designed for front-of-house use in commercial food service environments. The tray features Cambro's Camtread non-skid rubber surface, which provides a secure grip on both the tray itself and any items placed on it during service.

In a busy restaurant, hotel, or banqueting environment, the difference between a bare fibreglass tray and one with a properly textured non-slip surface is noticeable under real service conditions — wet glasses, heavy plates, and fast-paced movement all test tray handling. The Camtread surface helps reduce the risk of items shifting during service, which matters when staff are carrying full loads at pace.

Practical points worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Non-skid rubber surface provides grip for both carried items and the tray on flat surfaces
• Fibreglass construction is durable and resistant to everyday service knocks
• Oval format suits standard round tray stands commonly found in restaurant and hotel service
• Stackable design supports tidy storage in tray stations and back-of-house areas
• Black finish is a neutral choice suited to most front-of-house settings

This is a straightforward, reliable service tray suited to restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and similar hospitality operations where consistent daily use is expected. It is not intended for heavy outdoor or industrial environments. Sites with particularly high tray turnover or specific colour-coding requirements may want to consider the broader Cambro range for alternative sizes or finishes.

If you are specifying trays across a larger operation or want to confirm which size or quantity best suits your service style, the team is happy to help.

This is a large-format oval serving tray from Beaumont, finished in black with a non-slip surface across the carrying area. It is designed for transporting food and drinks in front-of-house service environments, offering a generous load area without adding unnecessary weight to the carry.

In practice, the non-slip surface does useful work during a busy service — reducing the risk of glasses or plates shifting when staff are moving quickly through a dining room or along a bar. The oval shape suits the natural carrying posture for single-arm service and works well when moving multiple drinks from a bar counter to a table.

• Non-slip surface reduces movement of glasses and plates during carry
• Lightweight construction eases fatigue during extended service periods
• Stackable for compact storage when not in use
• Black finish suits most front-of-house environments
• Oval format suits single-arm carrying and bar service

There are no installation requirements for a product of this type, but it is worth considering tray storage into your front-of-house layout — a dedicated tray rack or shelf space keeps them accessible during service and prevents stacking becoming unstable. This size is well suited to restaurant, pub, and hotel bar service. For lighter café use or smaller table formats, a smaller tray may be more practical. For very high-volume operations moving large round orders, a round tray of similar or greater diameter may be worth considering.

If you are equipping a new venue or refreshing your service kit across multiple covers, it is worth talking through quantities and formats with us before ordering.

The Olympia Kristallon 300mm round tray is a compact, lightweight polycarbonate serving tray designed for front-of-house use in cafés, bars, restaurants, and similar hospitality environments. The round format makes it well suited to carrying drinks, small plates, or condiments where a full rectangular tray would be impractical.

The non-slip surface helps reduce the risk of items shifting during service, which is particularly useful in busy or fast-paced environments where staff are moving quickly between tables. The polycarbonate construction is robust enough for daily commercial use and holds up well to repeated handling, stacking, and regular washing.

• Non-slip surface reduces movement of glasses and plates during service
• Cut-out handles allow a secure, comfortable grip when carrying
• Polycarbonate body resists cracking and chipping under regular use
• Lightweight enough for extended front-of-house use without fatigue
• Stackable for compact storage between service periods

At 300mm diameter, this tray is on the smaller side and is best suited to drinks service, light snacks, or table clearance rather than carrying full meal covers. For higher-volume or full-plate service, a larger rectangular format may be more practical. It is worth considering the mix of tray sizes your operation needs, as a single size rarely suits every service scenario.

If you are putting together a tray programme for a new site or reviewing what you currently have in service, we are happy to talk through what tends to work well in different settings.

The Olympia Kristallon range is a long-established choice for food service operations that need practical, hardwearing trays at a sensible price point. These round trays are moulded from polypropylene and feature a textured non-slip surface designed to reduce the risk of items shifting during carrying — a straightforward but important characteristic in a busy service environment.

In day-to-day use, the non-slip surface makes a genuine difference during peak service periods when staff are moving quickly and carrying multiple items. The round format suits certain counter and tray-return setups well, and polypropylene construction holds up reliably to repeated use, commercial dishwashing, and the general wear of a working kitchen or canteen.

Practical benefits for operators include:

• Non-slip surface reduces spillage risk during busy service
• Polypropylene construction withstands regular commercial dishwasher cycles
• Round format works well for tray-service and self-service counters
• Sold in a pack of six, reducing unit cost for high-turnover operations
• Lightweight enough for ease of use across all service staff

These trays require no installation considerations — they are ready to use straight from the pack. They are best suited to cafés, staff canteens, schools, healthcare catering, and similar self-service or counter-service environments where tray volume and durability are more important than premium presentation.

For operations with a higher emphasis on front-of-house presentation, or where a different tray shape or size better suits the counter layout, it is worth considering the broader Kristallon range. If you are unsure which format suits your service setup, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Cambro VersaTray is a rectangular food service tray moulded from polyethylene, finished with a textured wood-effect surface that provides a non-slip grip for both the user carrying the tray and items placed on it. Cambro is a well-regarded name in food service smallwares, and the VersaTray range is widely used across cafeteria, canteen, and casual dining environments where trays are in constant rotation throughout the service day.

In busy service environments, tray durability is often overlooked until stock starts to deteriorate. The PE construction handles repeated stacking, washing, and daily use without warping or cracking in the way cheaper materials can. The non-slip textured surface remains effective even when the tray is damp, which matters in self-service and assisted-service settings where spillage is routine.

Practically, these trays offer a few useful day-to-day advantages:

• Non-slip surface reduces the risk of spillage during service, supporting safer customer flow
• Stackable design keeps storage tidy and minimises counter space requirements
• Wood-effect finish presents well in front-of-house environments without looking institutional
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue for staff and customers carrying loaded trays
• Sold in a 12-pack, making it straightforward to manage par stock and replacements

These trays require no installation. They are ready to use and can go through a commercial dishwasher in the normal tray cycle. The 330x430mm footprint suits standard cafeteria counters and tray slides well, though it is worth checking your specific counter configuration if tray sizing is critical to your setup.

This size and format is well suited to staff canteens, school and hospital catering, café counters, and self-service food courts. For operations with higher throughput or specific hygiene colour-coding requirements, Cambro and other manufacturers offer alternative formats worth considering.

If you are unsure how many trays you need to support your service volumes, or whether this format is the right fit for your counter setup, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Cambro Mykonos is a laminate food service tray intended for front-of-house use in cafés, canteens, staff restaurants, and similar tray-service environments. The charcoal finish is neutral enough to suit most counter and table settings, and the non-slip surface texture is there to do a practical job rather than serve as a decorative feature.

During busy service periods, a reliable non-slip surface makes a genuine difference. Staff moving quickly with loaded trays carrying a mix of crockery, glassware, and hot dishes benefit from the reduced risk of items shifting in transit. At this size, the tray accommodates a standard individual meal cover comfortably without becoming unwieldy to carry single-handed, and the laminate construction wipes down quickly between uses.

• Non-slip surface reduces the risk of items shifting during loaded carries
• Laminate finish is straightforward to clean and maintain in service
• Mid-size format suits individual meal covers without excess bulk
• Neutral charcoal colour works across a range of front-of-house settings
• Lightweight construction supports comfortable single-handed use

There are no installation requirements for a serving tray, but operators ordering in quantity for canteen or high-turnover use should consider tray trolley and storage racking compatibility at the point of ordering. For operations requiring a larger format or a different surface finish, alternatives are available within the range.

If you are equipping a new operation or working out quantities for a full tray-service setup, the team is glad to help you think it through.
