£4.53(£5.44 inc VAT)
This is a quarter-size gastronorm food tray from Cambro, moulded in polypropylene and sized at 150mm depth. It fits standard GN-compatible shelving, refrigeration, and bain-marie equipment, making it a practical choice for kitchens that need reliable, interchangeable storage across their cold-side setup.
Polypropylene construction keeps the tray lightweight without sacrificing durability. The translucent material means staff can identify contents at a glance without lifting lids, which is a small but genuine time-saver during busy service. The material is rated to handle temperatures from -40°C to 70°C, so it moves comfortably between cold storage and ambient service conditions without warping or becoming brittle over time.
In day-to-day kitchen use, these trays earn their keep through a few straightforward qualities:
- Translucent body allows quick visual identification of contents without disturbing storage
- Stacks cleanly without wedging or sticking, keeping fridge and cold-room shelving tidy
- Suitable for storage, transport, and service — reducing the need to transfer between containers
- Smooth internal surfaces clean down quickly and are dishwasher compatible
- Lightweight enough to handle with one hand during busy service
One practical consideration: polypropylene is not suitable for use in ovens or under heat lamps, and the 70°C upper temperature limit means these trays are not intended for hot-holding applications. For hot-side use, stainless steel GN containers would be the appropriate choice.
These trays are well suited to delis, sandwich counters, prep kitchens, catering operations, and anywhere cold-side food storage needs to be organised and interchangeable. For operations requiring deeper storage capacity, the same GN quarter footprint is available in other depths.
If you are building out a full GN container system across multiple sizes and depths, the team is happy to help you work through what combinations make sense for your operation.
£15.33(£18.40 inc VAT)
This flat lid from Cambro is designed specifically to pair with Cambro High Heat 1/3 gastronorm food trays. Made from a food-safe plastic rated to withstand temperatures from -40°C through to 190°C, it covers and protects food portions across a wide range of holding and cooking environments, including microwaves, steam tables, ovens, and hot-holding units.
In a working kitchen, a reliable lid does more than contain food — it helps maintain holding temperatures during service, reduces the risk of cross-contamination between trays, and supports the kind of documented food safety practices that HACCP procedures require. Because the lid is flat, trays stack cleanly, which matters when cold room or pass space is limited and organisation under pressure is important.
- Flat profile allows stable, space-efficient stacking of multiple trays
- Broad temperature tolerance suits both cold storage and hot-holding use
- Designed to reduce cross-contamination risk between food portions
- Compatible across microwave, oven, and steam table environments
- Supports HACCP-aligned food safety documentation and workflow
Because it is a plastic component rather than polycarbonate or stainless steel, it is worth confirming suitability if your operation involves prolonged exposure at the upper end of its temperature range, or particularly aggressive cleaning chemicals. As a flat lid rather than a notched or handled variant, it is best suited to situations where the tray is placed and covered rather than frequently lifted during service.
This lid is a practical choice for kitchens already using the Cambro High Heat 1/3 GN tray system — it is not a universal fit across all GN 1/3 containers. If you are building out or standardising a Cambro gastronorm setup across multiple sections, it is worth having a conversation with us about compatibility across the range before ordering in volume.
£58.84(£70.61 inc VAT)
This Araven GN 1/1 food storage container is a straightforward, practical solution for storing and rotating food in a commercial kitchen environment. Made from ABS plastic and sized to the standard GN 1/1 footprint, it fits directly into gastronorm-compatible refrigeration and preparation equipment, which makes it easy to integrate into an existing kitchen setup without any adjustment to shelving or cold storage.
In a working kitchen, the value of a well-organised storage system is often underestimated until it breaks down. These containers support clear food rotation through a combination of colour-coded clips and a permanent wipe-clean label on the exterior — the blue designation helps teams quickly identify product categories or allergen groups according to your kitchen's colour-coded system. The airtight lid keeps contents sealed during refrigeration or transit between stations.
A few practical points worth noting:
- ABS construction is durable and resistant to impact under everyday kitchen handling
- Rated for use from frozen storage through to hot-hold temperatures, making them versatile across prep and service workflows
- Dishwasher safe, which reduces cleaning time during turnaround
- Colour-coded clips included — useful for allergen management or section separation
- Wipe-clean label allows repeated re-use without permanent marking
These containers are well suited to high-volume prep kitchens, hotel operations, contract catering, and anywhere that structured food rotation and allergen awareness are part of daily practice. They are a standard depth at 100mm, which suits bulk ingredient storage. If your operation requires shallower containers for portion control or service-line use, other depths within the same range may be more appropriate.
If you are building out a storage system across a new kitchen or want to make sure you have the right mix of sizes and colours, the team are happy to talk through what works in practice.
£3.23(£3.88 inc VAT)
This is a polycarbonate lid designed to fit Vogue's 1/4 gastronorm containers. It provides a close-fitting cover for standard quarter-size GN pans, helping to retain moisture, protect contents during storage, and reduce contamination risk in prep and cold storage environments.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for this type of lid. It is lightweight, handles daily kitchen use well, and withstands the physical demands of busy prep and service areas without the brittleness of cheaper plastics. The material remains cool to the touch even when covering warm contents, which aids safe handling during service.
- Fits all Vogue 1/4 polycarbonate gastronorm containers
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward daily cleaning
- Rated for use from -40°C to 100°C, covering both freezer storage and hot holding applications
- Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue during high-turnover service
- Stackable design supports organised cold storage and prep management
These lids are suited to refrigerated storage, cold prep lines, and service counters where a straightforward, reliable cover is needed. They are not designed for high-temperature oven or steam use — if your application involves direct heat above 100°C, a different lid material would be more appropriate. For sites running larger volumes or requiring full-size GN coverage, larger capacity alternatives are available within the range.
If you are fitting out a prep or cold storage setup and want to confirm the right combination of containers and lids for your workflow, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£22.19(£26.63 inc VAT)
The Araven GN 1/6 food storage container is a practical, rigid ABS plastic container sized to the standard sixth gastronorm format, making it compatible with most commercial refrigeration, prep counters, and bain marie setups that accept GN 1/6 inserts. The blue colour coding is commonly used in kitchens to designate specific allergens or ingredient categories as part of a structured food rotation and separation system.
In day-to-day kitchen operation, containers like this are workhorses — used across prep, storage, and service. The ABS material holds up well under routine commercial use, and the temperature tolerance from -40°C through to 90°C means the same container can move between freezer storage and hot-hold service without needing to switch vessels. That practical range reduces handling steps during busy service periods.
- Colour-coded blue for clear allergen or ingredient separation
- Compatible with standard GN 1/6 refrigeration and prep counter slots
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient end-of-service cleaning
- Freezer-to-hot-hold capable without switching containers
- Supplied with lid for covered storage and transport
Because the container follows GN sizing, it fits within a wider system of gastronorm storage — useful in kitchens where multiple sizes are already in use and consistency matters for shelf organisation and stock rotation. ABS is not as impact-resistant as polycarbonate under extreme mechanical stress, so kitchens with particularly heavy-handed handling environments may want to consider that when specifying quantities.
This container suits most commercial kitchens that use colour-coded storage systems — from smaller operations establishing basic allergen protocols through to larger sites standardising across a full GN storage range. If your operation requires a deeper or shallower vessel in the same footprint, the 1/6 GN format is available in other depths across the range.
If you are building out a colour-coded storage system or have questions about which sizes work best for a particular application, we are happy to help you work through it.
£8.71(£10.45 inc VAT)
This is a standard 1/3 gastronorm container made from polycarbonate, sized at 200mm depth. It fits the universal GN system used across commercial refrigeration, prep units, bain-maries, and service counters, making it a practical everyday item in most professional kitchens. The clear material allows contents to be identified at a glance without removing lids or labelling every container.
Polycarbonate containers at this depth are commonly used for bulk cold storage — salads, prepped garnishes, portioned proteins, sauces, and dairy items. The 200mm depth gives a reasonable holding volume, and the clear finish is particularly useful in busy fridges where speed of identification matters during service. The material remains cool to the touch when used for cold holding, which helps with safe handling in a fast-moving kitchen environment.
From a practical standpoint, a few points are worth noting:
- Compatible with standard 1/3 GN lids across most brands
- Dishwasher safe and designed to drip-dry quickly after washing
- Lightweight and stackable, which helps with storage in busy prep areas
- Suitable for cold storage and ambient use — not designed for direct oven or high-heat applications
- Clear construction allows quick visual stock checks without handling
It is worth being straightforward about temperature limits: polycarbonate handles a broad range covering standard refrigeration and hot-hold use, but it is not suitable for oven cooking or prolonged exposure to very high direct heat. For high-temperature applications, stainless steel GN containers are the more appropriate choice.
This container suits operations that need reliable, lightweight GN storage for cold prep and service — from small independent kitchens through to larger sites running high container volumes. If you are equipping a full GN storage system or need guidance on matching depths and sizes to your workflow, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£2.06(£2.47 inc VAT)
This is a clear polycarbonate lid designed to fit standard 1/3 gastronorm containers. It sits flat across the top of the pan, creating a secure cover that protects stored food from contamination, spillage, and drying out during refrigerated storage or service holding.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for this type of lid. It handles the day-to-day knocks of a busy kitchen — being pulled in and out of fridges, stacked, and washed repeatedly — without cracking or warping under normal use. The clear material means contents are immediately visible without lifting the lid, which matters when a larder section or cold prep area is moving quickly and staff need to locate ingredients at a glance.
From an operational standpoint, a well-fitting lid on a gastronorm container does several useful things:
- Reduces food waste by keeping refrigerated product in better condition for longer
- Supports HACCP compliance by providing a physical barrier against cross-contamination
- Speeds up stock identification during busy service without disturbing other containers
- Minimises moisture loss from cut or prepared foods stored overnight
- Easy to clean by hand or through a commercial glasswasher
These lids are most commonly used in cold prep areas, refrigerated pass-throughs, and walk-in cold rooms where gastronorm storage is standard. They are a practical addition wherever 1/3 GN containers are already in use.
If you need lids for larger or smaller GN sizes, or have questions about fitting across different container brands, our team is happy to advise.
£125.00(£150.00 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm storage boxes are a straightforward, practical solution for food storage in commercial kitchens. Each box is sized to the full 1/1 gastronorm footprint, which means they sit cleanly in standard gastronorm refrigeration, prep counters, and bain-marie setups. Sold as a pack of four, they arrive ready to be put straight to work across multiple sections or shifts.
Polypropylene is a well-proven material in professional kitchen environments. It handles the temperature swings of daily service reliably — moving from cold storage into prep without warping or cracking — and holds up well under the routine handling that inevitably comes with a busy kitchen. The smooth interior surfaces clean down quickly, and the boxes are dishwasher safe, which matters when you're turning stock over at the end of service.
Each box includes a set of colour-coded clips in four colours, and a permanent wipe-clean label is fixed to the container itself. In practice, this supports allergen management and date-labelling workflows without relying on tape or separate stickers that can fall off or become unreadable.
- Colour-coded clip system supports allergen and stock rotation labelling
- Airtight lid seal helps maintain food quality and reduces cross-contamination risk
- Permanent wipe-clean label on each box — no loose labels to manage
- Dishwasher safe construction simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- GN 1/1 format integrates with standard refrigeration and gastronorm systems
These boxes are best suited to kitchens that need reliable, stackable cold storage with a clear labelling system in place. They're a sensible choice for sites managing allergen or dietary requirement separation across multiple food types. For very high-volume operations storing large batches, it's worth considering whether a deeper GN box or a larger format would better suit your throughput.
If you're unsure which size or depth works best for your storage setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£2.30(£2.76 inc VAT)
This Cambro 1/6 gastronorm pan is a straightforward polypropylene storage and prep container designed to sit within standard GN racking, cold wells, and refrigerated prep units. The translucent material means contents are visible at a glance without lifting lids or disturbing storage, which matters when a kitchen is moving quickly during service.
Polypropylene at this size and depth is well suited to cold-side applications — portioned proteins, prepped garnishes, sauces, and dressings. The material handles temperatures from -40°C, making it appropriate for blast-chilled or frozen storage as well as standard refrigeration. It will also tolerate moderate heat, though this is primarily a cold-storage and prep pan rather than a serving vessel for hot foods.
- Translucent body allows content identification without handling
- Compatible with standard GN cold wells and refrigerated prep units
- Suitable for blast-chilled and frozen storage given its low-temperature rating
- Stacks cleanly without wedging, keeping prep fridges tidy
- Lightweight at 140g — easy to handle and reposition during service
At 100mm deep, this pan offers a useful middle ground between a shallow insert for garnishes and a full-depth storage container. It is a practical size for a wide range of mise en place tasks without taking up excessive fridge space.
No installation requirements apply — this is a standalone smallware. It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing GN equipment, particularly if you use non-standard cold wells or bespoke racking. If you are building out a GN storage system across multiple depths and sizes, the team is happy to help you work through which combinations suit your prep and service setup.
£3.59(£4.31 inc VAT)
This Vogue 1/6 gastronorm container is made from polycarbonate and sized to fit standard sixth-size GN positions in cold wells, bain maries, and refrigerated prep units. The 65mm depth makes it a practical choice for portioned ingredients, sauces, garnishes, and similar mise en place items that need to be kept accessible during service.
Polycarbonate containers like this one are a common sight in professional kitchens because they offer a practical alternative to stainless steel where visibility matters. The material remains cool to the touch when used in refrigerated or cold applications, and the black finish helps staff identify containers quickly in a busy pass or cold well setup.
- Dishwasher safe — compatible with standard commercial glasswashers and dishwashers
- Designed to drip dry quickly, reducing turnaround time between uses
- Lightweight construction eases handling during service
- Stackable design supports efficient storage when not in use
- Suitable for use from frozen storage through to ambient cold service
It is worth noting that polycarbonate is not suitable for use in ovens or under direct heat, and care should be taken to avoid use with sharp utensils that can mark the surface over time. These containers are best suited to cold-side applications rather than hot holding.
This size works well in smaller prep kitchens, café and deli counters, or as part of a larger GN system where sixth-size slots are already in use. For operations needing greater capacity or deeper storage, larger GN sizes or greater depths are available across the range.
If you are building out a GN system and are unsure which combination of sizes and depths will work best for your setup, our team is happy to help you work through it.
£4.44(£5.33 inc VAT)
This Cambro 1/3 gastronorm food pan is a straightforward polypropylene storage and service pan designed to fit standard GN-compatible refrigeration, bain maries, and shelving. The 100mm depth gives a useful capacity without the bulk of a deeper pan, making it a practical choice for portioned ingredients, prepped garnishes, cold buffet lines, and general mise en place.
Polypropylene is a sensible material choice for cold-side and ambient use. It handles the temperature range you'd encounter in a refrigerated prep environment without becoming brittle or warping, and the translucent construction means contents can be identified at a glance without lifting the pan — a small but genuinely useful advantage during a busy service. The material is lighter than stainless steel alternatives, which matters when staff are moving pans in and out of counters repeatedly throughout a shift.
- Translucent body allows quick visual identification of contents
- Suitable for use from freezer storage through to ambient service
- Stacks without wedging, keeping storage areas tidy and accessible
- Lighter than equivalent stainless pans, reducing handling fatigue
- Fits standard 1/3 GN slots across most refrigerated prep counters and inserts
It is worth noting that polypropylene pans of this type are not designed for hot-side use — they are not suitable for bain marie hot wells or oven use. If you need a pan that moves between cold storage and hot service, stainless steel would be the appropriate choice. For purely cold or ambient applications, however, polypropylene performs reliably and is generally easier to keep clean.
These pans are well suited to small and medium kitchens, sandwich bars, deli counters, and anywhere that 1/3 GN cold inserts are in regular use. For operations running multiple prep stations or requiring deeper capacity, larger or deeper GN options are available across the range.
If you are building out a GN system and want to talk through the right combination of sizes and depths for your workflow, the team is happy to help.
£201.00(£241.20 inc VAT)
This Cambro High Heat pan is a 1/3 GN polycarbonate food pan designed specifically for use in heated product holding units. Unlike standard polycarbonate pans, it is manufactured to withstand the elevated temperatures found inside pass-through and single-sided holding equipment, making it a practical choice wherever standard pans would warp or degrade over time.
In operational terms, the pan holds up reliably during extended service periods — whether that is a breakfast buffet running across a two-hour window or a quick-serve counter holding prepared food through a lunch peak. The flat base maximises contact with the heating element, which helps maintain consistent food temperatures without hot spots. At 2.4 litres capacity, it suits portion-controlled holding of smaller items rather than bulk batches, and the 65mm depth keeps it manageable when full.
A few practical points worth noting for day-to-day use:
- Two reinforced, textured handles with a finger grip design for safer handling when hot
- Drain holes in the handles aid quick drying after washing
- Compatible with most leading manufacturer holding units, including pass-through models
- Polycarbonate construction keeps the pan lighter than equivalent stainless pans of the same size
- 1/3 GN format fits standard gastronorm frames and drop-in configurations
There are no special installation requirements — this pan drops into any standard 1/3 GN slot. It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific holding unit before ordering, particularly with older or less common equipment. For higher-volume operations where pans are in near-constant rotation, it may be worth considering a stainless alternative for longevity.
This pan is well suited to hotels, cafés, quick-serve restaurants, and contract catering operations running buffet or counter service. It is a sensible choice where lightweight, heat-tolerant polycarbonate is preferred over stainless for front-of-house or frequently handled applications. If you are equipping a full counter or holding station and need guidance on pan combinations or holding unit compatibility, the team is happy to help.
£3.75(£4.50 inc VAT)
This is the Cambro soft seal lid designed specifically for 1/2 GN polypropylene gastronorm trays. Made from high-impact polypropylene, it forms an airtight seal across the tray opening, keeping stored food protected from contamination, moisture loss, and cross-transfer of odours during refrigeration or transit.
In a busy prep or service kitchen, lids like this earn their place through reliable daily use rather than any single standout feature. The airtight seal helps maintain food quality during cold storage, and the secure fit reduces the risk of spillage when trays are moved between the pass, the fridge, or a transport vehicle. The inverted handle design is a practical detail — it sits flush enough to allow trays to be stacked when lidded, which matters when cold storage space is limited.
- Airtight polypropylene seal protects food quality during refrigerated storage
- Inverted handle allows stacking of lidded trays to maximise storage capacity
- Spill-resistant fit suits tray transport between kitchen sections or off-site
- Compatible with Cambro 1/2 GN polypropylene tray range
- Smooth construction with no unnecessary recesses makes cleaning straightforward
There are no specialist installation requirements — this lid is a direct fit for Cambro's 1/2 GN polypropylene tray range. It is worth confirming tray compatibility before ordering, as this lid is not designed for stainless GN containers or trays from other manufacturers. The polypropylene construction is rated for use between -40°C and 70°C, making it suitable for freezer storage as well as ambient and refrigerated environments, though it is not designed for oven or bain-marie use.
Well suited to any commercial kitchen that uses Cambro polypropylene gastronorm storage — from hotel and contract catering operations to cook-chill facilities and food-to-go prep kitchens. If you need lids across a full range of GN sizes, or require a harder-wearing lid for higher-throughput environments, other options in the Cambro range may be worth considering.
If you're building out a gastronorm storage system and want to make sure lid and tray combinations match your workflow, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£27.03(£32.44 inc VAT)
This APS polycarbonate lid is designed to fit standard 2/4 gastronorm trays and provides a close-fitting cover for food storage and buffet presentation. It is a straightforward, practical piece of kit — nothing more, nothing less — but one that earns its place on most prep and service counters.
In operational use, the clear polycarbonate construction means staff and customers can see the contents at a glance without lifting the lid, which helps maintain hygiene and food temperature during service. The material is rated to handle temperatures from frozen storage through to hot-holding conditions, making it suitable for both the fridge and warmer environments without risk of distortion under normal use.
- Full-clarity polycarbonate keeps contents visible without removing the lid
- Compatible with any standard 2/4 GN tray, not just APS own-brand
- Dishwasher-safe construction simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Suitable for use from cold storage through to warm service temperatures
- Lightweight at 700g, easy to handle during busy service periods
There are no installation or utility requirements to consider here. The lid is ready to use straight away and requires no modification to existing storage or display equipment, provided you are working with standard GN 2/4 sizing. It is worth confirming your tray dimensions if you are using non-standard or older GN stock, as lid fit depends on true GN compliance.
This lid suits any operation that works with GN 2/4 trays — from hotel buffet counters and staff restaurants to deli prep and cold storage. If you regularly run larger trays or need lids across a full range of GN sizes, it is worth looking at the broader APS gastronorm range to ensure consistency across your setup.
If you are building out a GN storage or display system and want guidance on which sizes and configurations will work best for your operation, the team is happy to help.
£5.49(£6.59 inc VAT)
This is a flat lid designed specifically for Cambro's High Heat 1/9 gastronorm food trays. It provides a close, secure cover that keeps food contained during storage, transport, and holding service — a straightforward piece of kit that does a practical job in a busy kitchen environment.
The material is rated to handle temperatures from well below freezing through to 190°C, which means the same lid can move between cold storage, steam tables, hot holding units, and oven applications without needing to be swapped out. That versatility is useful in kitchens where the same container is used across multiple stages of preparation and service.
- Reduces cross-contamination risk during storage and transit
- Helps retain heat and moisture in hot holding applications
- Compatible with microwave, oven, and steam table use
- Fits Cambro High Heat 1/9 GN trays for a consistent, secure fit
- Lightweight and straightforward to clean and stack
One practical consideration: this lid is made specifically for Cambro's High Heat range and may not seat correctly on standard polycarbonate or stainless 1/9 GN trays from other manufacturers. It is worth confirming compatibility if you are mixing container brands in your operation.
This lid is well suited to catering operations that use 1/9 GN containers for ingredient prep, buffet stations, or portioned hot holding — particularly where those containers move between temperature zones during service. Kitchens running larger volumes across bigger GN sizes will find equivalent lids available in the broader Cambro range.
If you are unsure whether this fits your existing tray stock or want to discuss gastronorm storage across your operation, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£14.54(£17.45 inc VAT)
This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm container manufactured in polycarbonate, offered in a 100mm depth and finished in black. Polycarbonate GN containers are a practical alternative to stainless steel in cold-side applications — they are lighter to handle, remain cool to the touch even when contents are chilled, and provide clear visibility of contents when lids are removed. The black finish is commonly used to colour-code storage by ingredient type or allergen category.
In a working kitchen these containers earn their keep on the prep line, in the cold room, and on the service counter. The material tolerates a temperature range that covers freezer storage through to hot-holding at moderate temperatures, which gives them flexibility across different stages of the food journey. They stack cleanly with other GN containers of the same footprint, and the standard 1/1 sizing means they fit correctly into most refrigerated prep units, blast chillers, and gastronorm storage racks without adaptation.
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repeated handling on busy service shifts
- Cool-to-touch exterior supports safe bare-hand handling of chilled contents
- Compatible with standard GN lids for covered storage and transportation
- Dishwasher safe, with a profile designed to drain and dry quickly after washing
- Black finish supports allergen and ingredient colour-coding systems
It is worth noting that polycarbonate is not suited to oven use or direct contact with open heat sources, so these containers are best treated as cold-side and ambient storage vessels rather than oven-to-table cookware. For high-temperature cooking applications, stainless steel GN pans remain the appropriate choice.
These containers suit most commercial kitchens as a reliable everyday storage solution — particularly useful in sites where weight reduction and colour-coding are operational priorities. If you are outfitting a larger cold storage setup or need guidance on GN sizing across your operation, we are happy to help you work through what you need.
£13.01(£15.61 inc VAT)
This is a replacement or additional lid for Araven's GN 1/2 airtight food storage containers, made from ABS plastic and colour-coded in blue. The blue designation supports a colour-coded labelling system, helping kitchen teams identify contents and manage food rotation quickly during busy service periods — a straightforward but genuinely useful feature in any kitchen running HACCP-based procedures.
The lid is designed to work with Araven's corresponding GN 1/2 airtight containers, sealing with a set of colour-coded clips to help maintain freshness and prevent cross-contamination in refrigerated storage. The ABS construction is robust enough for daily commercial use and handles temperatures from well below freezing up to 90°C, making it suitable for use across cold storage and light heat applications. It is both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling time during turnaround.
- Colour-coded blue for quick visual identification and food rotation
- Compatible with Araven GN 1/2 airtight clip-seal containers
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning
- Suitable for refrigerated and ambient storage environments
- Wipe-clean label area supports HACCP and date-marking requirements
This lid is a practical addition for kitchens that are already running Araven GN 1/2 containers, or for operations setting up a colour-coded storage system from scratch. If you are unsure which containers or clip sets to pair with this lid, or need guidance on building out a full colour-coded storage setup, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£28.83(£34.60 inc VAT)
This APS polycarbonate lid is designed to fit standard GN 1/2 pans, providing a close-fitting cover for food storage, transportation, and buffet display. It is a straightforward, practical piece of kit that does a specific job reliably — keeping food covered, visible, and protected from contamination.
In a working kitchen or buffet service environment, a well-fitting lid makes a meaningful difference. Food stays fresher for longer during service, cross-contamination risk is reduced, and the clear polycarbonate material means staff and customers can see what is inside without removing the lid. That visibility is useful both in prep areas and on a live buffet counter.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Compatible with any standard GN 1/2 pan, giving flexibility across mixed kit
- Clear polycarbonate construction allows easy identification of contents
- Dishwasher-safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Rated for use across a wide temperature range, covering both chilled storage and ambient service conditions
- Lightweight at under 750g, easy to handle during busy service
The polycarbonate material is robust enough for daily commercial use and holds up well in a busy pass or servery. It is not suited to direct oven use — this is a storage and display lid, not a cooking cover.
This lid is well suited to hotels, contract caterers, deli counters, and any operation running buffet or cold display service using standard GN 1/2 equipment. If your operation uses a high volume of gastronorm pans across multiple sizes, it is worth confirming compatibility with your existing pan stock before ordering. The team is happy to help with that.
£27.00(£32.40 inc VAT)
This is a GN 1/3 food storage container from Araven, made from ABS plastic and supplied in blue as part of their colour-coded range. It is designed to sit alongside standard gastronorm equipment, fitting directly into prep fridges, cold wells, and bain-maries that accept third-size inserts. The container comes with a set of colour-coded clips and a permanent wipe-clean label, which supports clear food identification and straightforward date rotation.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the colour-coded system helps teams working at speed to distinguish between ingredient types or allergen categories without needing to read every label — a practical advantage during busy service. The wipe-clean label means containers can be relabelled quickly between prep cycles rather than relying on tape and markers.
The ABS construction is well suited to the temperature range encountered in commercial prep and storage workflows, handling both chilled and moderate hot-holding conditions. It is both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling time during turnaround.
- Colour-coded system supports allergen separation and ingredient organisation
- Wipe-clean label speeds up relabelling between service periods
- Fits standard GN 1/3 fridges, cold wells, and prep equipment
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
This size works well for portioned ingredients, sauces, and prepared garnishes in most kitchen types. For operations storing larger volumes of a single ingredient, a deeper or larger GN format may be more practical. If you are building out a full colour-coded storage system across multiple GN sizes, it is worth discussing your full requirements before ordering.

This is a half-gastronorm polypropylene food storage tray from Cambro, 150mm deep and designed for use across cold storage, food preparation, and service environments. Made from translucent polypropylene, the tray allows staff to identify contents at a glance without removing lids or disturbing stored product — a small but practical advantage during a busy service.
Polypropylene is a sensible material choice for this kind of tray. It handles the temperature swings common in commercial kitchens — from blast chiller and cold room storage through to ambient prep environments — without warping or becoming brittle. It is lighter than stainless steel alternatives, which matters when trays are being moved frequently between storage, prep, and pass.
In day-to-day kitchen use, these trays offer a few clear operational advantages:
- Translucent sides allow quick visual stock checks without opening lids
- Designed to stack cleanly without wedging, making storage straightforward
- Suitable for use across refrigerated storage, transport, and cold service
- Polypropylene construction is easy to clean and resists staining
- Compatible with standard half-gastronorm shelving and storage systems
One consideration worth noting is the temperature ceiling. Polypropylene trays of this type are not suitable for use in heated holding, bain-marie, or oven environments. They are cold-side tools, and should be selected with that in mind. Operators needing trays that can move from cold storage into heated service should look at stainless gastronorm alternatives instead.
These trays are well suited to most commercial kitchens as a reliable cold storage and prep solution — from smaller independent operations through to high-volume sites running structured mise en place. If you are building out a storage system and want to make sure the spec matches your cold room or prep bench layout, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£25.08(£30.10 inc VAT)
This Araven GN 1/3 food storage container is a straightforward, practical storage solution for commercial kitchens. Made from ABS plastic and sized to the standard GN 1/3 footprint, it fits directly into refrigerators, cold prep units, and bain-marie setups designed around gastronorm dimensions. The blue colour coding helps kitchens maintain a consistent food safety system, typically assigned to raw fish in HACCP-based colour-coding schemes, though individual kitchen protocols vary.
In day-to-day service, containers like this are workhorses — used for prepped ingredients, portioned proteins, sauces, and mise en place. The ABS material handles a wide temperature range, making it suitable for cold storage as well as holding prepped items at ambient temperature during service. It is both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling time during turnaround between services.
- Blue colour coding supports HACCP food safety segregation systems
- GN 1/3 footprint fits standard refrigeration and bain-marie configurations
- ABS construction is dishwasher safe for efficient cleaning between services
- Supplied with lid, colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean identification label
- Suitable for cold storage and ambient prep use across a temperature range of -40°C to 90°C
One practical consideration: ABS is a solid, reliable material for general storage, but it is not suitable for direct oven use or prolonged high-heat applications. For operations needing containers that move from fridge to oven, polycarbonate or stainless GN pans would be more appropriate.
This container is well suited to any kitchen running a colour-coded food safety system and working to GN-based storage. It works equally well in small independent kitchens as in larger operations that standardise on GN sizing throughout. If you are equipping a full storage setup across multiple GN sizes and depths, it is worth considering your full range of requirements together — we are happy to help you work through what makes sense for your operation.
£18.81(£22.57 inc VAT)
This is a GN 1/6 food storage container made from ABS plastic, sized to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration and storage systems. The blue colour coding makes it straightforward to implement ingredient separation or allergen management protocols without relying solely on labels.
In day-to-day kitchen use, ABS containers of this type are commonly found in prep fridges, cold larders, and mise en place setups. The material handles a wide temperature range, making these containers suitable for blast chilling as well as brief oven-free reheating. They stack reliably with matching GN containers, which helps keep fridges organised during busy service periods.
- Colour-coded blue for consistent ingredient or allergen separation
- Compatible with standard gastronorm shelving and refrigeration
- Suitable for use from frozen storage through to room-temperature prep
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Accepts wipe-clean labels for date marking and content identification
Being a 1/6 GN size, this container is best suited to smaller ingredient quantities — garnishes, sauces, prepped proteins, or portioned accompaniments. It is not intended for bulk storage; kitchens needing to hold larger volumes will find 1/3 or 1/2 GN containers more practical for that purpose.
If you are setting up a colour-coded storage system across multiple allergens or ingredient categories and are unsure how many units or which sizes to order, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work well in practice.
£20.25(£24.30 inc VAT)
This Araven GN 1/4 container is a straightforward, practical storage solution made from ABS plastic and sized to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration, prep tables, and bain-marie frames. The blue colour coding makes it well suited to allergen management or food rotation systems where quick visual identification of contents matters at a glance.
In day-to-day kitchen use, colour-coded containers like this one help reduce cross-contamination risk and support HACCP compliance without adding complexity to the workflow. Staff can identify the correct container quickly during busy service periods, which is where small organisational details tend to matter most.
- Colour-coded blue finish supports allergen control and food rotation systems
- GN 1/4 footprint fits standard refrigeration, cold wells, and prep table inserts
- ABS construction is dishwasher safe and resists warping under regular use
- Wide temperature tolerance makes it suitable from freezer storage through to moderate oven use
- Supplied with a lid and colour-coded clips for secure stacking and sealing
ABS plastic is generally robust in commercial kitchen environments, though it is worth noting it is not suited to high-heat applications such as direct oven use at temperatures above its rated range. The 65mm depth makes this a relatively shallow container, practical for portioned garnishes, sauces, or prepped ingredients rather than bulk storage.
This container is a sensible choice for any kitchen operating a colour-coded storage or allergen management system. Sites needing greater capacity or deeper storage will find larger GN formats in the range more appropriate for bulk prep or service quantities.
If you are building out a full colour-coded system or are unsure which sizes and depths best suit your workflow, the team is happy to help you put together a practical set.
£8.38(£10.06 inc VAT)
Cambro's polycarbonate gastronorm containers are a long-established choice in professional food storage. This 1/3 GN unit at 150mm depth offers a useful combination of capacity and footprint, fitting standard gastronorm racks, refrigeration drawers, and prep-line inserts without modification. The clear polycarbonate construction allows quick visual identification of contents without removing the container from the rack or cold unit — a small but practical advantage during a busy service.
Polycarbonate at this grade handles the daily demands of a working kitchen well. The material is resistant to impact, holds up to repeated dishwasher cycles, and operates reliably across a wide temperature range covering both deep refrigeration and hot-side holding. It will not absorb odours or stain as readily as lower-grade plastics, which helps maintain hygiene standards over time.
- Clear polycarbonate allows fast visual stock checks without opening
- Fits standard GN racks, cold wells, and refrigeration drawers
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward daily cleaning
- Suitable for cold storage down to deep-freeze temperatures
- Compatible with Cambro lids for sealed storage and cross-contamination control
These containers stack cleanly and are straightforward to label, which supports HACCP date-marking and allergen control procedures. No installation is required — they drop into existing 1/3 GN-format equipment without adaptation. The 150mm depth suits ingredients, prepped garnishes, and portioned proteins equally well, though kitchens needing shallower storage for delicate garnishes or deeper capacity for sauces may find other depths in the Cambro range more appropriate.
Well suited to any commercial kitchen using a standard gastronorm system — from small independent restaurants to contract catering operations. If you are building out a storage system or are unsure which depths best suit your prep workflow, we are happy to talk it through.
£10.60(£12.72 inc VAT)
This is the blue ABS lid designed to fit Araven's GN 1/3 airtight food storage containers. Made from ABS plastic, it forms a secure seal on the matching container, keeping stored food protected in both refrigerated and ambient conditions. The blue colour coding is part of Araven's system for kitchen allergen management and food rotation, allowing teams to identify container contents quickly without opening them.
In a working kitchen, consistent labelling and colour coding reduces the risk of cross-contamination and speeds up stock checks during prep and service. The blue designation integrates with the broader Araven colour-coded storage system, which is well suited to kitchens operating allergen control procedures or multi-ingredient prep environments. The lid is compatible with GN 1/3 airtight containers from the Araven range that accept this fitting.
- Colour-coded blue lid supports allergen separation and food rotation systems
- Airtight seal keeps refrigerated and ambient-stored food protected
- ABS construction handles the temperature demands of cold storage and general prep use
- Dishwasher safe, reducing manual cleaning time during changeovers
- Microwave safe where reheating directly from storage is part of the workflow
The lid is rated for use from -40°C through to 90°C, making it suitable for freezer storage, refrigeration, and controlled reheating applications. It will not distort or lose its seal under normal cold-storage temperatures.
If you are building out a colour-coded storage system across multiple GN sizes or allergen categories, it is worth confirming the full container and lid combinations before ordering. Our team are happy to help ensure you have the right components for your setup.
£3.95(£4.74 inc VAT)
This Vogue 1/9 gastronorm container is a straightforward polycarbonate food storage pan suited to prep, service, and cold-side mise en place. The ninth-size format is the smallest standard GN size, making it well suited to condiments, garnishes, sauces, and portioned ingredients where counter or refrigerated space is limited.
Polycarbonate containers of this type are a reliable choice for cold-side service. The material stays cool to the touch even after prolonged use, which makes handling comfortable during a busy service. At 170g, this is a genuinely lightweight pan, and the 100mm depth gives useful volume for its footprint. Compatible lids are available separately, which helps with storage and reduces waste during prep-ahead work.
- Dishwasher safe construction — withstands regular machine cleaning without warping
- Stackable design for efficient storage in fridges and prep areas
- Cool-to-touch surface aids safe, confident handling during service
- Temperature rated to suit cold-side use and blast-chilled storage
- Black colouring helps distinguish container contents by colour-coding systems
These containers are not intended for oven or bain-marie use — polycarbonate is a cold-side material, and operators should use stainless steel GN pans wherever heat is involved. They are well suited to salad bars, cold buffet counters, prep fridges, and refrigerated display units.
This size is appropriate for low-volume ingredient holding. Kitchens running high-throughput service lines or needing to hold larger quantities will find larger GN formats more practical alongside this size.
If you are building out a GN container system and want to confirm the right mix of sizes and depths for your operation, we are happy to help you work through it.
£13.40(£16.08 inc VAT)
This Araven GN 1/6 food storage container is a 65mm-deep ABS plastic pan designed to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration and food prep equipment. Made in blue for colour-coded storage systems, it is supplied with a lid, a set of colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean label panel for content identification and date rotation.
In a busy kitchen environment, consistent food rotation and clear labelling are straightforward to maintain when containers are colour-coded by food type or allergen category. The blue designation makes this container a practical choice for fish storage, though many kitchens assign colours according to their own HACCP protocols. The ABS material handles the temperature range from frozen storage through to hot-holding prep use, and is both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling steps during service prep and end-of-day cleaning.
- Colour-coded blue lid and clip system supports allergen and food-type separation
- Wipe-clean label panel aids date labelling and stock rotation
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between service periods
- Fits standard GN 1/6 refrigeration, prep stations, and bain marie units
- Suitable for use from frozen storage through to microwave reheating
The 1/6 GN footprint works well in smaller refrigeration drawers, countertop cold wells, and multi-compartment prep fridges where space is divided across several food categories. It is a shallow pan suited to portioned ingredients, garnishes, and prepped components rather than bulk storage, where a deeper or larger GN size would be more appropriate.
These containers are well suited to any commercial kitchen running a colour-coded food safety system — from small cafés through to high-volume kitchens where multiple units of the same size are used across different food groups. If you are building out a full set across GN sizes or colours, it is worth discussing your storage layout with us to make sure you have the right combination.
£9.25(£11.10 inc VAT)
The Pujadas allergen-free GN pan is a 1/6-size polycarbonate or food-safe plastic gastronorm container intended specifically for kitchens that need a clearly designated system for handling allergen-sensitive ingredients. Unlike standard GN pans that may cycle through general use, these pans are produced in a distinct colourway to support colour-coded allergen management protocols, helping staff identify and separate allergen-free preparation at a glance.
In busy service environments, the risk of cross-contamination increases when equipment is shared between allergen and non-allergen workflows. Having dedicated, visually distinct containers removes a layer of ambiguity for kitchen teams under pressure. The 1/6 size fits standard GN frames, bain-marie inserts, refrigerated prep wells, and most cold display equipment, making it practical to integrate into existing kit without adjustment.
- Colour-coded design supports allergen segregation protocols
- Compatible with standard 1/6 GN fittings, frames, and equipment
- Food-safe, smooth-finish construction for straightforward cleaning
- Suitable for use in cold prep, refrigerated service, and ambient display
- Lightweight and easy to handle during a fast-paced service
These pans are best suited to operations where allergen management is a formal part of kitchen procedure — restaurants, contract caterers, schools, and care facilities where allergen documentation and separation are required by policy or regulation. They work alongside, rather than replace, a full allergen management plan.
If you are building a broader allergen management system or need pans across multiple GN sizes, it is worth speaking with us to make sure the colour-coding approach you choose is consistent across the range.
£52.09(£62.51 inc VAT)
This Araven GN 1/2 food storage container is an ABS plastic container sized to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration and bain-marie systems. It comes supplied with a lid, a set of colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean label panel for identifying contents and supporting food rotation. The blue colour coding is commonly used to indicate a specific food type or allergen category under kitchen HACCP procedures.
ABS is a practical choice for prep and cold storage environments. It holds its shape at low temperatures and tolerates the heat of a commercial dishwasher cycle, making it straightforward to turn around during a busy service. The material is notably lighter than stainless steel gastronorm pans of equivalent capacity, which reduces fatigue during repeated handling. The clip-seal lid keeps stored product secure during transit between stations and helps maintain correct holding conditions in the fridge.
- Colour-coded system supports allergen separation and HACCP compliance
- Wipe-clean label panel simplifies date labelling and rotation
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between services
- Lightweight ABS construction reduces handling fatigue
- Clip-seal lid retains contents securely during fridge and transit use
This container is well suited to kitchens that already operate a gastronorm storage system and need additional capacity in a specific colour-code category. It sits at the shallower end of the 1/2 GN depth range, making it a reasonable choice for prepared garnishes, portioned proteins, or sauces rather than bulk storage. Deeper 1/2 GN containers are available where greater volume is needed.
If you're building out a colour-coded storage system or are unsure which depths and configurations suit your prep workflow, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£67.53(£81.04 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical storage solution for commercial kitchens that need reliable, stackable containers compatible with standard GN racking and refrigeration units. Each container is moulded in food-safe polypropylene and supplied with an airtight lid, with colour-coded clips included in red, yellow, green, and blue — allowing kitchens to run a clear colour-coded system for allergen separation, ingredient rotation, or section labelling.
Polypropylene is a sensible choice for this type of container. It handles the temperature range from frozen storage through to light hot-holding without warping, and it tolerates the daily abuse of a working kitchen — drops, stacking, and repeated dishwasher cycles — without degrading quickly. The permanent wipe-clean label on each container supports date and content labelling without the cost and waste of disposable stickers.
Key practical features worth noting:
- Colour-coded clip system supports allergen and content separation at a glance
- Airtight lids help maintain product freshness and reduce cross-contamination risk
- Dishwasher-safe construction suits high-turnover kitchen environments
- Permanent integrated label panel reduces reliance on adhesive labels
- Standard 1/3 GN footprint fits most refrigeration and bain-marie configurations
These containers are well suited to prep kitchens, cold rooms, and service counters where organised, labelled storage is a daily requirement. They are not designed for direct oven use or sustained high-temperature applications — polypropylene has practical limits that make it appropriate for cold and ambient storage rather than cooking vessels.
If you are stocking a new kitchen or replacing an existing set and want to confirm the right size or configuration for your setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
