Pujadas allergen-free gastronorm pans are produced in a dedicated colour to allow kitchens to maintain clear visual separation between allergen-sensitive dishes and standard food preparation. The 1/3 GN size fits standard gastronorm-compatible prep tables, cold wells, bains-marie, and storage racks, making it straightforward to integrate into an existing pan system without adapting equipment.
In busy kitchens where allergen management is a daily operational requirement rather than an occasional concern, having a physically distinct set of pans removes reliance on labelling alone. A dedicated colour means staff can identify allergen-safe containers at a glance during prep, service, and storage — reducing the risk of cross-contamination through misidentification under pressure.
- Visually distinct colour supports allergen separation protocols
- Standard 1/3 GN footprint fits existing gastronorm infrastructure
- Suitable for cold storage, prep, and counter service use
- Easy to clean and compatible with standard commercial dishwashing
- Lightweight and stackable for practical storage between services
These pans are best suited to operations with documented allergen procedures who need a reliable physical control measure to support their processes — schools, contract caterers, hotels, and restaurants serving customers with serious food allergies. Kitchens handling particularly high volumes across multiple allergen categories may want to consider a fuller set of GN sizes to maintain consistency across the system.
If you are building out an allergen management system and are unsure which pan sizes or quantities best suit your service style, we are happy to talk it through.
From £3.59(£4.31 inc VAT)
This is a quarter-size gastronorm container moulded from food-safe polycarbonate. At 65mm deep it sits in the shallower end of the GN range, making it practical for portioned ingredients, garnishes, sauces, and cold prep items that need to be accessible and clearly visible during service.
Polycarbonate containers are a common choice in commercial kitchens where stainless steel GN pans would be unnecessary weight or where visual identification of contents matters. The material stays cool to the touch even when holding refrigerated product, which helps with handling speed on a busy pass or in a cold prep section. The rated temperature range covers standard refrigeration and hot holding up to 100°C, though polycarbonate is not suitable for oven or direct heat use.
Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repeated handling
- Stackable design saves storage space between services
- Dishwasher safe and designed to drip dry quickly after washing
- Compatible with standard GN lids and frames across the range
- Clear material allows contents to be identified without opening
As a 1/4 GN size, this container fits standard GN frames, bain marie inserts, and refrigerated prep units that accept quarter-size pans. It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing equipment before ordering multiples, particularly with older or non-standard frames.
This size suits smaller operations, single-portion prep work, and kitchens that need a cost-effective, lightweight alternative to stainless GN pans for cold storage or mise en place. Higher-volume sites with greater throughput may find larger GN sizes more practical for bulk ingredient storage.
If you are building out a full GN container set or are unsure which sizes best suit your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£11.56(£13.87 inc VAT)
This Cambro 1/6 gastronorm tray is made from a high-heat polycarbonate blend rated to withstand temperatures from -40°C through to 190°C. That range makes it genuinely useful across multiple stages of food production — from freezer storage through to oven or steam table service — without the need to transfer food into separate containers at each stage.
In a busy kitchen, that kind of versatility reduces unnecessary handling, cuts the number of trays in circulation, and helps maintain consistent food quality during service. The flat base promotes even heat distribution, which is particularly useful when holding food at temperature on a heated surface. Unlike stainless steel trays, it is also safe for microwave use, which matters in kitchens that reheat to order.
- Moves directly from freezer to oven to steam table without transfer
- Flat base supports even heat distribution and reduces hot spots
- Reinforced textured handle with integrated finger grip for secure handling
- Microwave safe — unlike standard metal gastronorm trays
- Suitable for hot oil deposits and other high-temperature cooking applications
The 65mm depth makes this a practical choice for sauces, garnishes, prep components, and side dishes that need to be accessible on a bain-marie or cold well during service. Being a 1/6 size, it fits standard gastronorm table inserts, display counters, and storage racks alongside other GN containers without compatibility issues.
This size and format is well suited to smaller operations or as a supplementary tray in larger kitchens where 1/3 or 1/2 GN containers hold primary quantities. For sites handling significantly higher volumes, deeper or larger GN options may be more practical.
If you are equipping a new service counter or standardising your gastronorm storage, our team is happy to help you work out the right combination of sizes and depths.
£2.79(£3.35 inc VAT)
This is a polypropylene soft seal lid designed to fit Cambro's 1/3 gastronorm containers. The lid features an inner sealing ring that sits inside the container rim rather than simply resting on top, creating a more secure closure that reduces the risk of spillage during transit between the kitchen and service area, and helps protect contents from cross-contamination during storage.
In a working kitchen, lids of this type earn their keep in refrigerated prep storage, where ingredients need to be covered overnight or between service periods without the risk of odour transfer or surface drying. The clear polypropylene construction allows staff to identify contents at a glance without having to lift lids, which is a small but genuine time-saver during a busy service. Pull-tab corners at each end allow for straightforward, one-handed removal even when hands are damp or gloved.
- Inner seal reduces spillage risk during transport between sections
- Clear construction allows immediate visual identification of contents
- Pull-tab corners allow quick removal during service
- Polypropylene construction is robust and easy to clean
- Rated for use from frozen storage through to ambient service conditions
These lids are suited to the temperature range you'd expect from standard refrigerated and ambient storage — they are not designed for use in hot holding or cooking applications, so they should be kept away from bain-maries and ovens. They are compatible specifically with Cambro polypropylene 1/3 GN containers and may not seat correctly on stainless steel gastronorm pans.
This lid suits any kitchen using Cambro polypropylene 1/3 containers for prep storage, portioning, or mise en place — from small café kitchens through to high-volume contract catering operations. If you are fitting out a full set of containers across multiple GN sizes, it is worth checking compatibility across the range before ordering in bulk.
If you are unsure which lid type works best for your storage setup, the team is happy to talk it through.
£2.60(£3.12 inc VAT)
This is a 1/9 gastronorm food tray from Cambro, moulded in translucent polypropylene to a 100mm depth. It is a straightforward, practical storage and service container used across prep areas, cold storage, and service lines in commercial kitchens of all sizes.
Polypropylene trays of this type are a reliable workhorse in busy operations. The translucent material means staff can identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid, which helps maintain temperature and reduces unnecessary handling during service. The 1/9 size is particularly common in condiment and garnish stations, deli counters, and buffet or carvery setups where space in the pan well is limited.
- Translucent body allows contents to be identified without opening
- Stacks cleanly without wedging or sticking between trays
- Suitable for use from cold storage through to ambient service
- Compatible with standard 1/9 GN lids and frames
It is worth noting that polypropylene trays are rated for cold and ambient use. They are not suited to oven use or steam table hot-holding, so if you need a container that moves from refrigeration directly into a bain-marie or heated unit, a stainless steel GN pan would be the more appropriate choice.
These trays are best suited to operations where frequent changeovers, portion control, and visibility of mise en place matter — hotel breakfast stations, sandwich bars, prep kitchens, and catering companies running buffet or event service are all typical users. For deeper storage or higher-volume prep, a 1/9 tray in a greater depth may be worth considering.
If you are fitting out a prep or service station and want to make sure you have the right combination of sizes and depths, our team are happy to help you work through what you need.
£2.15(£2.58 inc VAT)
This is a notched polycarbonate lid designed to fit standard 1/4 gastronorm containers. The notch allows a ladle or spoon to sit in position while the lid remains in place, making it a practical choice for service counter and buffet use where staff need to access contents without fully removing the cover.
Polycarbonate lids like this one are a reliable everyday workhorse in commercial kitchens. They hold up well under the repeated handling, washing, and stacking that comes with busy service periods, and the material stays cool to the touch even when covering warm food, which helps with safe, quick handling during service. The wide temperature tolerance means they can go from cold storage through to hot holding applications without issue.
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning between services
- Lightweight and stackable, keeping storage organised
- Notched design accommodates a ladle or utensil during service
- Suitable for cold storage, prep holding, and service counter use
- Cool-to-the-touch surface aids safe, confident handling
As a lid rather than a container, there are no electrical or installation considerations. The main practical point is fit — this lid is sized specifically for 1/4 GN containers, so it is worth confirming your existing containers are standard GN sizing before ordering. Polycarbonate is durable but not indestructible; it will crack if dropped from height or subjected to heavy impact, and it should not be used in an oven or microwave.
This lid suits any kitchen or catering operation that uses 1/4 gastronorm containers for prep, storage, or service — from small cafés and pub kitchens through to hotel banqueting and hospital catering. If you need lids for other GN sizes or are equipping a full container system, we are happy to help you work out what you need.
£17.06(£20.47 inc VAT)
The Cambro High Heat Polycarbonate 1/6 Gastronorm Pan is a sixth-size food pan moulded from high-grade polycarbonate, built to move through a commercial kitchen workflow without needing to be decanted at each stage. It fits standard gastronorm equipment and is designed to handle the temperature transitions that are common in busy preparation and service environments — from cold storage through reheating to the steam table or oven.
What makes this pan practically useful is its broad temperature tolerance. It can go directly from the freezer into a microwave or oven and then straight onto the service line, which reduces the number of transfers needed during prep and saves time during busy service periods. The polycarbonate construction holds up well to repeated thermal cycling, and the material does not distort or discolour under normal commercial use conditions.
For day-to-day kitchen operations, this pan offers several reliable advantages:
- Smooth interior surface that releases food cleanly and simplifies washing up
- Translucent amber colour allows quick visual stock checks without lifting lids
- Moulded-in volume graduations support consistent portioning during prep
- Compatible with standard gastronorm lids and equipment
- Lightweight construction eases handling during high-turnover service
At 150mm deep, this pan suits bulk ingredient storage, batch sauces, accompaniments, or portioned service on a bain-marie or cold well. The 1/6 GN footprint means it fits into standard inserts alongside other GN fractions without wasted space. It is worth confirming that your oven or holding equipment is rated for polycarbonate use at the upper end of the temperature range before introducing these into a new workflow.
This pan is well suited to high-turnover kitchens — particularly those using combination cooking methods such as microwave reheating, steam tables, and convection ovens in sequence. Larger operations running high volumes may find benefit in holding a deeper stock of pans to maintain consistent rotation. If you are fitting out a full gastronorm system or are unsure which depths and sizes best suit your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£45.33(£54.40 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical solution for food storage and prep organisation in commercial kitchens. Made in the standard 1/9 GN size, they sit neatly into gastronorm-compatible bain marie units, cold wells, and prep inserts, making them a common choice for sauce stations, garnish trays, and small-volume ingredient storage on the service line.
Polypropylene is a sensible material choice for this type of container. It handles the temperature range encountered across a busy kitchen operation — from cold storage through to holding warm ingredients — without warping or absorbing odours over time. The containers are dishwasher safe and carry a permanent wipe-clean label on each unit, which supports allergen labelling and HACCP compliance without the need for adhesive stickers that degrade with repeated washing.
Each pack includes four containers along with a set of colour-coded clips in red, yellow, green, and blue. This allows kitchens to apply a colour-coding system to ingredient categories or allergen groups without needing to purchase separate accessories. The clips hold lids securely for storage and transit, which is useful when containers are moved between fridges or used for prepped mise en place that needs to be covered between services.
These containers are well suited to any kitchen that runs a structured prep operation — whether that's a hotel, restaurant, pub kitchen, or catering company. The 1/9 size is one of the smaller GN formats, so it's most appropriate for ingredients used in moderate quantities. Kitchens with higher throughput or bulk storage needs would be better served by larger GN sizes in the same range.
If you're organising a service station or standardising your prep containers and want guidance on sizing across GN formats, we're happy to help.
From £1.29(£1.55 inc VAT)
This is a polycarbonate lid designed to fit Vogue's 1/9 gastronorm containers. It provides a straightforward cover solution for smaller GN inserts — the kind typically used in bain marie tops, cold well units, or prep station inserts where space is tight and portion sizes are small.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for this application. It handles the daily wear of a busy kitchen well, resists cracking and shattering under normal service conditions, and remains cool to the touch even when the container beneath it is holding warm product. The material is rated across a wide temperature range, making these lids suitable for use straight from the refrigerator through to hot-hold service without any concern about material performance.
In day-to-day kitchen use, a well-fitting lid on a 1/9 insert does more than just cover the contents. It helps maintain temperature during service, reduces contamination risk during storage, and allows containers to be stacked cleanly in the fridge or on shelving. These lids are dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward at the end of service.
There are no complex installation or operational considerations with a product of this type — it drops onto compatible Vogue 1/9 polycarbonate containers and is ready to use. It is worth confirming compatibility if you are mixing brands across your GN storage, as lid fit can vary between manufacturers even within the same nominal GN size.
This lid suits any kitchen using Vogue's polycarbonate 1/9 range — from small cafés and sandwich bars to larger operations where 1/9 inserts handle garnishes, sauces, or accompaniments. If your operation uses a higher volume of 1/9 containers, it may be worth looking at multi-pack options within the range.
If you have questions about GN compatibility or building out a full polycarbonate storage system, the team are happy to help you work through what you need.
£13.50(£16.20 inc VAT)
This is a 1/4 gastronorm polypropylene food storage container from Araven's allergen management range. It is colour-coded purple to help kitchens maintain a clear, consistent system for separating allergen-containing ingredients from the general food preparation workflow. An airtight lid is included as standard.
In a busy prep kitchen, allergen control depends heavily on reliable visual systems. The purple coding is widely recognised across food service as a dedicated allergen colour, which helps reduce the risk of accidental cross-contamination during high-pressure service periods when mistakes are most likely. The container fits standard 1/4 GN configurations, so it integrates directly into existing gastronorm storage racks, refrigeration, and bain-marie setups without requiring separate storage arrangements.
Practically, this container offers a useful range of benefits for day-to-day kitchen operations:
- Colour-coded purple for clear allergen segregation across prep and service teams
- Airtight lid reduces contamination risk and helps preserve ingredient condition
- Wide temperature tolerance supports use from freezer storage through to hot-hold environments
- Polypropylene construction is robust, odour-resistant, and straightforward to clean
- GN-compatible sizing slots directly into standard refrigeration and storage racking
There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone storage container. It is dishwasher safe, which matters in kitchens where hygiene records and cleaning compliance are subject to inspection. The polypropylene material does not absorb odours or stains readily, which is a practical advantage when containers are used repeatedly across service periods.
This container is well suited to any commercial kitchen with a formal allergen management procedure in place — from small independent restaurants to larger contract catering operations. For kitchens storing larger volumes of allergen-controlled ingredients, a bigger GN size or a deeper container may be more appropriate. If you are building out a full allergen colour-coding system across multiple GN sizes, it is worth getting the range right from the outset. We are happy to help you work through what you need.
£30.86(£37.03 inc VAT)
This Araven half-gastronorm container is a purpose-designed allergen management solution for commercial kitchens operating under PPDS and allergen labelling requirements. Made from polypropylene and colour-coded in purple — the recognised colour for allergen-controlled storage — it allows kitchen teams to keep allergen-containing ingredients physically and visually separated from the general mise en place without relying on labelling alone.
In practice, the container performs reliably across a wide temperature range, making it equally suitable for cold storage and light warm-holding applications. The airtight lid and pull-tab design are well suited to fast-paced service environments where staff need to access contents quickly and reseal securely. A permanent wipe-clean label panel supports date and content marking without the residue that adhesive labels leave behind.
- Purple colour-coding supports allergen separation protocols at a glance
- Airtight lid with pull tab for quick, secure access during service
- Wipe-clean label area for date and content marking without adhesive residue
- Polypropylene construction resists warping and cracking under regular use
- Standard 1/2 GN footprint fits most countertop cold wells, bains marie, and shelving
As a standard half-gastronorm size, it fits directly into most refrigerated prep counters, cold wells, and gastronorm-compatible racking. It stacks consistently with other GN 1/2 containers, which helps with storage efficiency in smaller prep areas. The polypropylene material is dishwasher safe and holds up well to the daily wash cycle demands of a busy kitchen.
This container is well suited to any operation with allergen management responsibilities — from small cafés and school kitchens to larger contract catering sites. For operations handling very high volumes or requiring deeper storage, larger GN formats are available within the same Araven allergen range.
If you are setting up an allergen management system across your kitchen and want guidance on container sizing or colour-coding protocols, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£22.19(£26.63 inc VAT)
This Araven GN 1/4 food storage container is a straightforward, practical storage solution for professional kitchens. Made from ABS plastic, it conforms to standard gastronorm sizing, which means it sits neatly in refrigerated prep counters, cold wells, and storage racks alongside other GN equipment. The blue colour coding makes it immediately useful for allergen management or general food separation protocols where colour-coded systems are in use.
The container is supplied with a lid and a set of colour-coded clips, along with a wipe-clean label panel for recording contents and dates. This supports clear food rotation practice without relying on separate labelling materials. The ABS construction is robust enough for everyday kitchen handling and is both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces friction during service and cleaning cycles.
- Blue colour coding supports allergen separation and HACCP-aligned rotation systems
- Wipe-clean label panel for content and date identification without additional labelling materials
- Compatible with standard GN racking, refrigerated counters, and cold well inserts
- Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service cleaning
- Wide operating temperature range suits both refrigerated storage and brief reheating use
This size is well suited to smaller prep volumes — garnishes, sauces, portioned ingredients, and similar mise en place. For operations storing larger quantities of a single ingredient, a deeper or wider GN container from the same range may be more practical. For sites requiring full airtight sealing, it is worth confirming the lid and clip arrangement meets your specific storage requirements before ordering.
If you are building out a colour-coded storage system or standardising your GN container sets, our team is happy to help you work through quantities and sizes.
£11.09(£13.31 inc VAT)
This is a 1/3 GN polycarbonate food storage container from Cambro, one of the most widely used names in commercial food storage. At 200mm deep, it holds a useful volume for cold storage, prep and service applications, and fits standard gastronorm shelving, cold wells and refrigerated prep units.
Polycarbonate at this grade is genuinely durable in a commercial kitchen context. It resists cracking under the knocks and stacking pressures of a busy service, and its clarity stays reliable after repeated dishwasher cycles — meaning staff can identify contents quickly without lifting lids or rummaging. That small operational detail matters during a busy prep or service window.
- Clear polycarbonate body allows fast visual identification of contents
- Raised lip designed to sit cleanly in gastronorm racks and cold wells
- Dishwasher safe, reducing manual handling between uses
- Compatible with Cambro lids for sealed storage and cross-contamination control
- Temperature tolerant from frozen storage through to holding temperatures
It is worth noting that polycarbonate containers are not suited to direct heat — they should not be used in ovens, bain maries or on any heated surface. For those applications, stainless steel gastronorm pans are the appropriate choice. This container is well suited to refrigerated storage, cold prep, buffet service and mise en place organisation.
The 200mm depth makes it a practical choice where volume is needed in a single container. Kitchens with lighter storage demands or tighter shelf heights may find a shallower depth more practical, while higher-volume operations may prefer a larger GN size alongside this one.
If you are fitting out a storage system and want to make sure you are ordering the right combination of sizes and depths, we are happy to help you work through it.
£5.04(£6.05 inc VAT)
This is a clear polycarbonate lid designed to fit 1/1 full-size gastronorm containers. It sits over the container to keep contents covered during storage, cold-holding, and service, protecting food from contamination and reducing moisture loss without obscuring what's inside.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for this application. It handles a broad working temperature range, coping equally well in cold storage environments and in warmer holding conditions, which makes it a reliable everyday lid across prep, storage and pass-through use. The clear material means contents can be identified at a glance without lifting the lid — a small but useful time-saver when a section is moving quickly.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are straightforward:
- Clear material allows instant visual identification of contents without removal
- Fits standard 1/1 GN containers, compatible across most gastronorm systems
- Polycarbonate construction is robust and resists cracking under normal kitchen handling
- Smooth surface cleans easily and does not retain food residue
- Suitable for refrigerated storage down to -40°C
There are no installation requirements. The lid is a direct-fit cover for 1/1 gastronorm containers and requires no tools or fixings. It is worth noting that polycarbonate lids of this type are not suitable for use in ovens or under direct heat — they are designed for storage and cold-holding rather than cooking applications.
This lid suits most commercial kitchens as a standard storage accessory — from small independents to larger operations using GN-based storage systems. For sites with high container turnover, it is sensible to hold a few spares; lids do get separated from their containers over time in busy kitchens.
If you have questions about building out a compatible GN storage system or want to confirm fitment with containers you already hold, we're happy to help.
£6.74(£8.09 inc VAT)
This is a standard half-size gastronorm container in 100mm depth, made from polypropylene. It fits the 1/2 GN format used across the vast majority of commercial refrigeration, bain-maries, and gastronorm storage systems, making it a straightforward addition to an existing kit.
Polypropylene containers of this type are a practical everyday choice for cold storage, prepped ingredient holding, and mise en place. The material handles the knocks and stacking pressures of a busy kitchen service without cracking, and the smooth interior cleans down quickly at the end of service. The rated temperature range covers typical refrigeration and freezer storage through to ambient food preparation use.
- Fits standard 1/2 GN refrigeration and storage systems
- Smooth internal surfaces clean down quickly after service
- Lightweight enough for frequent handling during prep
- Suitable for cold storage, prepped ingredients, and dry goods
- Stackable with other GN containers to make efficient use of shelf space
One consideration worth noting: polypropylene containers are not suitable for oven use or prolonged hot-holding above their rated temperature. For hot-holding applications, stainless steel gastronorm pans are the more appropriate choice.
This size works well in smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, school catering — where half-size storage solutions make better use of limited fridge or cold room space. Larger sites running high-volume cold storage may find full 1/1 GN containers or deeper 150mm or 200mm variants more practical for bulk ingredient storage.
If you are putting together a larger order of gastronorm storage or are unsure which depths and sizes best suit your operation, the team is happy to talk it through.
£3.18(£3.82 inc VAT)
This Cambro 1/6 gastronorm pan is made from polypropylene and sized to the standard 1/6 GN footprint at 150mm deep. It is a straightforward, practical storage and service container designed to slot into standard gastronorm shelving, refrigeration, and counter systems without complication.
Polypropylene performs reliably across a wide temperature range, making it a practical choice for cold storage, chilled prep, and refrigerated service lines. The translucent body means contents are visible at a glance without lifting lids or disturbing mise en place during a busy service — a small but useful advantage when working quickly. The material also resists staining and odour absorption reasonably well, which matters when the pan is rotated through multiple ingredients over a shift.
- Translucent polypropylene allows contents to be identified without opening
- Compatible with standard 1/6 GN shelving, fridges, and bain-maries
- Rated for use from -40°C, suitable for blast chilling and deep-freeze storage
- Stacks cleanly without wedging, making storage and retrieval straightforward
- Lightweight at 200g, reducing handling fatigue during prep and service
It is worth noting that polypropylene is rated to 70°C, which means this pan is not suitable for hot holding in a bain-marie or direct oven use. For hot-side applications, a polycarbonate or stainless steel GN pan would be the more appropriate choice. This pan is best kept to cold storage, chilled counters, and ambient prep work.
This size suits kitchens that need a cost-effective, stackable solution for organising smaller portions, garnishes, sauces, and condiments within a refrigerated setup. Operations running high volumes of perishable ingredients across multiple stations may benefit from a deeper pan or a larger GN size to reduce the frequency of replenishment.
If you are unsure whether this depth and size is the right fit for your setup, the team is happy to talk through your storage requirements.
£8.35(£10.02 inc VAT)
This is a standard half-size gastronorm container in clear polycarbonate, 150mm deep. It sits within the universal GN system, meaning it drops directly into compatible bains-marie, cold well units, prep tables, and gastronorm racks without any adjustment. The clear material lets staff see contents at a glance without lifting the container or disturbing the line.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for cold and ambient storage. It handles temperatures from well below freezing through to 100°C, which covers most cold-side applications comfortably — chill storage, fridge prep, salad bars, and cold buffet displays. It is not suited to direct oven use or prolonged contact with hot liquids above that threshold, so if your workflow involves moving containers straight from a heated unit into service, it is worth confirming the temperatures involved before committing to polycarbonate across the board.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the benefits are straightforward:
- Clear sidewalls allow rapid visual stock checks during busy service
- Fits universally into GN-compatible storage racks and display units
- Dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround time short during service
- Compatible with separately sold lids for sealed storage and cross-contamination control
- Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue when moving between fridge and pass
The container is sold without a lid. If you need sealed storage — for overnight fridge holding or allergen separation — compatible lids are available separately. For sites handling larger volumes or needing deeper capacity, the same GN half footprint is available in greater depths.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate suits your specific workflow, or whether a different depth or GN size would serve your kitchen better, the team is happy to talk it through.
£10.51(£12.61 inc VAT)
This is the dedicated lid for Cambro's High Heat 1/4 GN food trays. It is made from a translucent amber plastic that can withstand temperatures from well below freezing up to 190°C, making it suitable for use across the full cold-to-hot chain — from freezer storage through to microwave reheating, steam tables, and hot holding units.
In a working kitchen, these lids are commonly used where food needs to move between temperature zones without a container change. The amber tint is light enough to read tray contents at a glance without removing the lid, which helps with stock rotation and reduces unnecessary handling during service.
- Rated for use in ovens, microwaves, steam tables, and hot holding units
- Translucent amber colour supports quick visual identification of contents
- Integral handle makes removal straightforward even with gloved hands
- Supports HACCP-compliant storage and holding practices
- Fits Cambro High Heat 1/4 GN trays only — not a universal fit
It is worth noting that this lid is designed specifically for Cambro's High Heat GN range. It will not reliably fit standard GN trays from other manufacturers, and it is not interchangeable with Cambro's standard-duty lids. If you are building out a tray system across multiple temperature applications, it is worth confirming that all components are from the same High Heat range to ensure a consistent fit.
Well suited to cook-chill operations, banqueting prep, and any kitchen holding food across multiple service points. If you have questions about building a compatible GN system for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£9.49(£11.39 inc VAT)
This is a standard 1/2 gastronorm container made from polypropylene, designed for ingredient storage and prep organisation in commercial kitchens. At 200mm deep, it offers a useful capacity for bulk ingredients, sauces, marinades, and portioned produce, and sits within the universal GN system so it drops into standard refrigeration, bain maries, and shelving without adjustment.
Polypropylene is a practical material choice for this kind of container. It is lighter than stainless steel, straightforward to clean, and the transparent body means staff can identify contents at a glance without removing lids or labels — a small but genuine time-saver during a busy service. The material tolerates temperatures from frozen storage through to ambient prep use, making it suitable for moving produce directly from freezer to fridge as part of a structured defrost rotation.
- Transparent body allows quick visual identification of contents
- Compatible with the standard GN system for use across fridges and shelving
- Suitable for frozen storage and refrigerated holding
- Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue during prep
- Smooth surfaces support straightforward cleaning and sanitisation
These containers work well in kitchens that already use a gastronorm-based storage system. They are not rated for direct oven or bain marie hot-holding use — polypropylene has an upper temperature limit, so for hot-side applications a stainless GN container would be the more appropriate choice. Worth bearing in mind if you are looking to standardise across both cold storage and hot service.
Well suited to prep kitchens, cold rooms, and back-of-house ingredient storage in catering operations of most sizes. If you are equipping a larger operation and need to consider quantities, lid compatibility, or how these fit into an existing storage system, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£12.44(£14.93 inc VAT)
This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm food tray from Cambro, moulded in translucent polypropylene and 150mm deep. It is a straightforward, practical piece of kitchen storage that fits standard gastronorm-compatible refrigeration, bain-marie surrounds, and shelving systems. The translucent material means contents can be identified at a glance without removing the lid or label.
Polypropylene at this depth is well suited to bulk cold storage, ingredient prep, and transport between stations. The 150mm depth provides meaningful capacity for sauces, marinades, prepped proteins, and similar high-volume ingredients, making it a practical choice for kitchens that batch-cook or prep ahead of service. The material holds up reliably under repeated use and handles the thermal cycling of daily kitchen operation without warping or cracking.
- Fits standard 1/1 GN refrigeration, cold wells, and shelving
- Translucent body allows quick visual stock checks
- Suitable for storage, transport, and cold-side service from a single tray
- Stacks cleanly without wedging, keeping storage areas tidy
- Rated for temperatures down to -40°C, suitable for blast-chilled and frozen storage
It is worth noting the temperature rating of -40°C to 70°C means this tray is suitable for cold and chilled applications, including blast-chill storage, but it is not designed for oven or hot-hold use. Operators needing a tray that can go directly into a hot environment should consider a stainless steel or gastronorm-rated oven tray instead.
These trays are a sensible choice for any operation using standard gastronorm storage — hotels, contract catering, pub kitchens, and café prep areas alike. If you are equipping a larger operation and want guidance on quantities or compatible lids, the team is happy to help you work through the requirements.
£20.09(£24.11 inc VAT)
The Pujadas Polinorm allergen-free lid is a full-size (1/1) gastronorm lid designed specifically for use in kitchens where allergen management is a formal part of food safety practice. Made from food-safe plastic within the Polinorm range, it is intended to pair with compatible Polinorm gastronorm pans to create a closed storage system that helps prevent cross-contamination between allergen and allergen-free food preparations.
In busy kitchen environments, the practical value of a dedicated allergen-free lid comes down to clear identification and reliable sealing. When allergen protocols require physically separated storage, having lids that are visually or materially distinct from standard containers helps kitchen teams work quickly and accurately under pressure — reducing the risk of handling errors during prep or service.
- Supports allergen segregation protocols in professional kitchens
- Designed to pair with Pujadas Polinorm 1/1 gastronorm pans
- Food-safe plastic construction suitable for cold storage use
- Helps reduce cross-contamination risk during prep and service
- Part of a wider Polinorm range with multiple pan depths available
It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing Polinorm pans before ordering, as gastronorm lids are not always interchangeable across ranges or manufacturers. If you are building out a full allergen-free storage system, the Polinorm range includes pan options at various depths, so there may be value in reviewing the full range alongside this lid.
This lid is best suited to operations with documented allergen management procedures — catering companies, school kitchens, care homes, and restaurants where allergen controls are part of daily food safety practice. If you are unsure whether this fits your current storage system, we are happy to help you work through it.
£70.43(£84.52 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene food storage containers are made to the standard 1/2 gastronorm footprint, meaning they sit correctly in gastronorm-compatible fridges, cold wells, and prep table inserts without adjustment. Each container in this pack of four holds 4 litres and is supplied with a fitted lid, a set of colour-coding clips in red, yellow, green, and blue, and a permanent wipe-clean label on the side for contents identification and date marking.
In a working kitchen, the practical value of a consistent colour-coding system is hard to overstate. It reduces the risk of cross-contamination, supports allergen management, and makes food rotation straightforward for any member of the team, regardless of experience. The labelling panel holds well under daily wipe-downs and does not require separate adhesive labels or tape.
- Standard 1/2 GN footprint fits gastronorm-compatible storage and service equipment
- Colour-coding clips support allergen and dietary separation without additional labelling systems
- Polypropylene construction is durable, odour-resistant, and safe for dishwasher use
- Wide operating temperature range suits chilled storage, ambient prep, and gentle reheating
- Supplied as a pack of four — practical for multi-shift or high-turnover prep environments
Polypropylene is a practical choice for general food storage. It is lighter than stainless steel alternatives, less prone to cracking under temperature shock than some other plastics, and straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher. These containers are not intended for high-temperature cooking or direct heat.
This size and format is well suited to prep kitchens, sandwich and deli counters, catering operations, and care home or school kitchens where standardised storage and clear food rotation procedures are required. For sites handling significantly larger prep volumes, deeper or full 1/1 GN containers from the same range may be worth considering.
If you are looking to standardise your food storage across a kitchen or need guidance on quantities for a specific operation, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense.
£32.80(£39.36 inc VAT)
This Araven 1/1 gastronorm food container is part of a dedicated allergen management system designed for professional kitchens that need a reliable, consistent way to segregate allergen-containing ingredients and prepared foods. The container is moulded in purple polypropylene — a colour assigned specifically to allergen use within Araven's colour-coded system — and comes with ColourClips and a label panel so kitchen teams can identify contents at a glance without opening the lid.
Made from BPA-free polypropylene of the same grade used in medical equipment manufacture, the material is non-porous, odour-resistant, and straightforward to clean thoroughly. The airtight lid helps maintain food quality during cold storage and prevents cross-contact from airborne particles — a practical consideration in busy prep environments where multiple ingredients are handled simultaneously. The container is suitable for use across a wide temperature range, making it appropriate for refrigeration, freezing, and gentle reheating applications.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the gastronorm-compatible footprint means the container fits directly into standard GN storage systems, refrigeration units, and prep tables, so there is no need to change how your storage is organised to accommodate allergen segregation.
- Purple colour coding keeps allergen foods visually distinct from general stock
- Airtight lid reduces cross-contact risk and maintains freshness in cold storage
- GN 1/1 format integrates with existing refrigeration and prep table configurations
- BPA-free, medical-grade polypropylene is non-porous and easy to sanitise
- ColourClips and label panel support clear allergen identification for kitchen teams
This container is well suited to any commercial kitchen with a formal allergen management procedure — from restaurants and contract caterers to school kitchens and care facilities. For sites with higher volumes of allergen-segregated prep, it is worth considering whether a broader range of sizes would better support your workflow.
If you are reviewing allergen storage as part of a wider kitchen compliance review, we are happy to talk through what would work for your specific setup.
£131.00(£157.20 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm storage boxes are a straightforward, reliable solution for bulk food storage in commercial kitchens. Sized to the full 1/1 GN format, they sit directly into standard gastronorm-compatible refrigeration units, prep tables, and bain-marie housings without modification, which makes them easy to integrate into an existing setup. Each box is supplied with an airtight lid, a set of colour-coded clips in four colours, and a wipe-clean label panel to support content identification and date rotation.
Polypropylene is a practical material choice for this application. It handles the knocks and stacking typical of a busy kitchen without cracking or warping, and the temperature tolerance across cold storage and hot holding use means the same box can move between different parts of the kitchen workflow. The boxes are dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround time between services manageable.
- Airtight lid seal helps preserve freshness and reduces cross-contamination risk
- Four-colour clip system supports HACCP colour-coding and rotation procedures
- Wipe-clean label panel simplifies date and content identification
- Fits standard 1/1 GN refrigeration, prep tables, and cold well units
- Dishwasher safe for efficient cleaning between service periods
At 1/1 GN and a useful working depth, these containers are well suited to storing batch-prepped proteins, marinades, sauces, and high-volume ingredients. Kitchens with lighter or more varied storage needs may find shallower GN depths more practical for their workflow, while very high-throughput operations may want to look at deeper or larger-capacity options within the Araven range.
Supplied as a pack of four, making them a sensible starting point for kitchens looking to standardise their food storage system. If you are working out which GN sizes and depths best fit your prep and storage volumes, the team is glad to talk it through with you.
£1.63(£1.96 inc VAT)
This is a polypropylene soft seal lid designed to fit Cambro 1/6 GN food storage containers. The inner sealing ring creates a closer fit than a standard snap lid, helping to retain moisture, reduce spillage risk, and limit contamination during refrigerated storage or transit between prep and service areas.
In a working kitchen environment, these lids are typically used in cold prep, mise en place, and refrigerated storage where a secure cover is needed without the inconvenience of cling film or foil. The clear polypropylene body allows staff to identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid, which is a small but practical gain during a busy service. Pull-tab corners make removal straightforward even with gloved hands.
A few things worth bearing in mind when using these lids across a kitchen:
- Compatible with Cambro polypropylene 1/6 GN containers — confirm compatibility if using with other brands
- Rated for use down to -40°C, making them suitable for freezer storage
- Upper temperature limit of 70°C means these are not suitable for hot-holding applications
- Polypropylene construction is robust under repeated washing but should be checked regularly for lid seal wear
- Clear body aids stock rotation and allergen management in busy prep areas
These lids are well suited to any operation using Cambro GN storage as part of a standardised system — catering companies, hotel kitchens, contract caterers, and busy restaurant prep sections. If you're building out a storage system from scratch or want to confirm compatibility with your existing container stock, the team is happy to help.
£51.13(£61.36 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical, everyday storage solution for commercial kitchens. Sized to the 1/3 GN standard, they drop straight into standard gastronorm refrigeration, bain-maries, and storage racks without adjustment. The pack of four makes them well suited to setting up a consistent colour-coded prep or storage system from the outset.
Polypropylene construction gives these containers a good balance of durability and lightweight handling. They tolerate a wide temperature range — from frozen storage through to warm-hold conditions — which means the same container can move between the cold room, the prep bench, and service without needing to swap vessels. That flexibility is useful during busy service periods where reducing handling steps matters.
- Colour-coded clip sets included (red, yellow, green and blue) to support allergen or food-type separation
- Permanent wipe-clean label on each container for clear identification
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Airtight lid design helps maintain product quality in refrigerated storage
- 1/3 GN footprint fits standard gastronorm shelving and refrigeration
These containers are best suited to kitchens that need reliable, stackable storage at an accessible price point — high-volume operations running multiple prep stations, dark kitchens, or any site where containers take regular daily use and need to be easily replaceable. They are a sensible choice where a large quantity of uniform storage is needed rather than a single premium vessel.
If you are setting up a larger storage system or need guidance on matching container sizes to your refrigeration configuration, the team is happy to talk it through.
£12.06(£14.47 inc VAT)
The Pujadas Polinorm allergen-free lid is designed to fit 1/2 gastronorm containers and is intended specifically for kitchens that operate allergen segregation protocols. Rather than a standard lid, it forms part of a dedicated allergen-safe storage system, helping operators keep allergen-containing ingredients physically separated from allergen-free preparations throughout prep, storage, and service.
In busy kitchen environments, the risk of cross-contamination during storage is a practical concern — particularly where multiple teams are working across the same cold storage or hot hold areas. A dedicated allergen-free lid system supports clear visual identification and reduces the likelihood of lids being interchanged between allergen and non-allergen containers. This is a straightforward, low-cost control measure that fits into broader allergen management procedures.
- Designed for use within allergen segregation systems in professional kitchens
- Compatible with 1/2 GN Polinorm containers from the same range
- Supports clear identification and reduces cross-contamination risk during storage
- Suitable for use in cold storage, prep, and service environments
This lid is best suited to kitchens that already operate — or are building — a structured allergen management system using colour-coded or dedicated equipment. It works alongside the broader Pujadas Polinorm gastronorm range rather than as a standalone item.
If you are specifying allergen management equipment across a kitchen and want guidance on building out a consistent system, we are happy to assist.
£110.00(£132.00 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene containers are a straightforward 2/3 GN food storage solution for commercial kitchens. Sized to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration, prep counters, and storage racks, they integrate into an existing setup without adaptation. Each pack contains four containers, which suits kitchens that need consistent, interchangeable storage across multiple stations or service periods.
Polypropylene is a well-established material for professional food storage. It handles the temperature swings common in busy operations — from blast chiller to ambient prep — without warping or degrading over time. The material resists odours and staining under typical commercial use, which supports hygiene standards with less effort between services.
Each container is supplied with colour-coding clips in four colours and a permanent wipe-clean label, supporting allergen management, HACCP food rotation, and cross-contamination controls without requiring separate labelling materials. In practice, this is useful in kitchens where multiple protein types or dietary requirements need to be clearly separated at a glance.
- Colour-coded clips for allergen segregation and food rotation compliance
- Wipe-clean label for repeated reuse without residue build-up
- Dishwasher safe for reliable end-of-service cleaning
- GN-compatible sizing fits standard refrigeration and prep units
- Wide temperature tolerance suits frozen, chilled, and ambient storage
There are no installation requirements. The containers are stackable and freestanding. They are well suited to kitchens of any scale, from small independents to high-volume operations. For tighter rack configurations, shallower or smaller GN formats may be more practical; deeper containers are available where bulk storage is the priority.
If you are planning a storage system and want to confirm which GN sizes and depths work best for your setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£46.30(£55.56 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical storage solution for commercial kitchens working to standard GN sizing. Each 1/4 GN container holds 1.8 litres and is supplied with an airtight lid, making them suitable for storing prepped ingredients, portioned components, and mise en place across the service period.
The containers are made from food-safe polypropylene and are built to cope with the routine demands of a professional kitchen environment. They move between freezer and hot-holding with a wide operating temperature range, and they are dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround straightforward during busy service.
Each pack includes colour-coding clips in four colours and a wipe-clean permanent label, which supports allergen management and food rotation without any additional labelling system. In a kitchen working across multiple services or holding a range of prepped items, that kind of built-in organisation is worth having.
- Airtight lid helps maintain freshness and reduces cross-contamination risk
- Colour-coding clips support allergen separation and food rotation
- Compatible with standard GN storage systems and refrigeration
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between services
- Wipe-clean label included for clear content identification
These are well suited to smaller kitchens, prep areas, and front-of-house cold wells where 1/4 GN sizing is the working standard. For operations storing larger batch quantities, deeper or larger GN containers are available across the range.
If you are building out a storage system or are unsure which sizes and depths suit your setup, we are happy to help you work through it.
£1.44(£1.73 inc VAT)
This is a polypropylene soft seal lid designed specifically for Cambro 1/9 gastronorm containers. The inner seal creates a close fit that helps contain contents, reduce spillage risk, and protect food from cross-contamination during storage and transit.
In a working kitchen, 1/9 GN containers tend to appear on cold side prep stations, condiment lines, and garnish sections — anywhere space is at a premium and portion control matters. A well-fitting lid on those containers makes a practical difference: contents stay covered during service, cold chain integrity is easier to maintain between fridge and counter, and there is less risk of items being knocked or contaminated during a busy pass. The clear polypropylene lets staff identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid, and the pull-tab corners allow quick, one-handed removal when the pace picks up.
- Soft inner seal reduces spillage and contamination risk during storage
- Clear polypropylene allows immediate visual identification of contents
- Pull-tab corners aid quick, one-handed removal during service
- Rated for temperatures from -40°C to 70°C, suitable for fridge and mild heat holding
- Lightweight at 50g — practical for high-turnover garnish and prep stations
It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing containers before ordering. This lid is designed for Cambro polypropylene 1/9 GN trays and may not seat correctly on containers from other manufacturers or on Cambro's Camwear polycarbonate range. If you are building out a full set of lids across multiple GN sizes, it is straightforward to match lids to containers across the Cambro range.
This lid suits operations using 1/9 GN containers for garnish, condiment, or small-batch prep storage — including cafés, sandwich counters, hotel buffet lines, and cold prep sections in larger kitchens. For sites using deeper containers or requiring a more airtight seal for overnight storage, it is worth considering whether a different lid profile would better suit the application.
If you are unsure which lid or container combination works best for your station layout, the team is happy to help you work through it.
