£41.48(£49.78 inc VAT)
This Araven GN 1/2 food storage container is a straightforward, practical storage solution for commercial kitchens working to structured food safety and rotation systems. Made from ABS plastic and sized to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration and prep configurations, it is designed to hold, seal, and identify food products clearly across the full kitchen operation.
The blue colour coding makes this container immediately useful in kitchens that operate allergen separation protocols or colour-coded prep systems. Where multiple product types are in storage simultaneously, a consistent colour convention reduces the risk of cross-contamination and speeds up identification during service without relying on staff memory alone.
Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Airtight lid seal helps maintain freshness and reduces spoilage between service periods
- Compatible with standard gastronorm refrigeration, making stock rotation straightforward
- ABS construction is robust enough for regular dishwasher cycling without warping
- Suitable for temperatures from well below freezing through to hot-holding ranges, covering most storage applications
- Wipe-clean label surface supports date and content marking without permanent damage to the container
There are no installation requirements — these containers are ready to use as delivered. They stack efficiently and slot into standard GN-compatible refrigerators, blast chillers, and cold rooms. At 150mm depth, this size works well for bulk ingredient storage rather than shallow prep use; kitchens needing shallower profiles should consider a lower-depth GN 1/2 option from the range.
Well suited to any commercial kitchen running a formal food safety management system, particularly where colour-coded allergen segregation is in place. Suitable for hotels, contract catering, care homes, and school kitchens where compliance with food rotation procedures is a daily requirement.
If you are building out a full colour-coded storage system or need to match containers across a busy operation, we are happy to help you work out the right sizes and quantities before you order.
£8.58(£10.30 inc VAT)
This is a half-size gastronorm container from Cambro, moulded in polycarbonate and designed for food storage in commercial kitchen environments. At 100mm deep, it sits in the mid-range of GN depths — deeper than a shallow prep pan but without the bulk of a 150mm or 200mm unit — making it a practical choice for portioned ingredients, prepped garnishes, sauces, and cold-holding during service.
Polycarbonate is the standard material choice for high-turnover kitchens where containers go through the dishwasher multiple times a day. Cambro's polycarbonate is rated from -40°C through to 99°C, which means it moves reliably between cold storage and warmer holding environments without warping or cracking. The clarity of the material is a genuine operational advantage: chefs can identify contents at a glance on a busy pass or in a crowded fridge without lifting lids or reading labels.
In practical terms, this container suits a wide range of kitchen roles:
- Prepped ingredient storage in walk-in fridges or reach-in units
- Cold bain-marie inserts for service counters
- Sauce and garnish organisation on the prep line
- Buffet and display counter use alongside compatible Cambro lids
Compatible Cambro lids are available separately and create a secure seal for refrigerated storage or transport. The raised lip allows the container to sit cleanly in standard GN racks. At 520g, it's light enough to handle repeatedly during a busy shift without fatigue.
This container is well suited to most commercial kitchens as a general-purpose storage pan. Sites with very high volume or extreme temperature cycling may find it worth considering the stainless steel GN equivalent instead. If you're building out a full set of GN storage or need guidance on depths and materials for a specific application, the team is happy to help.
£2.89(£3.47 inc VAT)
This is a 1/9 gastronorm container from Cambro, moulded in polycarbonate and designed for use across prep, storage, and service line applications. At 100mm deep, it sits in the smaller end of the GN range and is intended for condiments, garnishes, sauces, and portioned ingredients where a compact, clearly visible container is more practical than a larger one.
Polycarbonate is the standard material choice for this type of container in working kitchens. It holds its shape under daily use, resists cracking better than cheaper plastics, and the clarity of the material means staff can see contents at a glance without lifting lids or rummaging through a cold well during a busy service. Cambro is a well-established name in GN storage, and their polycarbonate range is widely used across hospitality, catering, and food service operations.
- Clear polycarbonate allows quick visual identification of contents during service
- Raised lip profile fits standard GN racks and buffet inserts securely
- Dishwasher safe, reducing time spent on manual washing
- Compatible with Cambro lids (sold separately) for sealed storage and cross-contamination control
- Rated from -40°C to 99°C, suitable for both chilled storage and warm holding environments
The 1/9 size is a practical choice where space within a cold well or bain-marie is limited, but it does hold a modest 0.57 litres, so for higher-volume ingredients during a long service, a deeper or larger GN format may be more appropriate. It is worth considering how many of these you need alongside compatible lids if sealed storage between services is a priority.
This container suits most commercial kitchens — from small café prep areas through to high-volume restaurant service lines. If you are building out a full GN container set and are unsure which sizes and depths to order, we are happy to help you work through the requirements before you commit.
£13.49(£16.19 inc VAT)
This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm container made from food-safe polypropylene, available without a lid. At 150mm deep, it offers a practical capacity for storing prepped ingredients, sauces, marinades, and bulk dry goods across a busy kitchen shift. It is BPA-free and transparent throughout, which are both practical qualities in a working kitchen rather than simply marketing points.
Polypropylene containers of this type are a standard presence in commercial kitchens precisely because they are straightforward and dependable. The transparent body lets chefs and prep staff identify contents at a glance without lifting lids or labelling every container — a small time-saving that adds up during a busy service. The material handles the temperature range common in kitchen storage environments, moving safely from freezer storage through to counter use during prep.
- Transparent body allows immediate visual identification of contents
- BPA-free polypropylene construction suitable for direct food contact
- Compatible with a separately available lid for covered storage and stacking
- Suitable for fridge and freezer storage as well as countertop prep use
- Standard 1/1 GN footprint fits existing gastronorm shelving and inserts
Because this container has no lid included, it is worth confirming your storage setup before ordering. If you routinely stack containers or need covered refrigerator storage, a compatible lid is available separately. For operations needing shallower or deeper options, the same format is available in other depths across the range.
This container is well suited to most commercial kitchens — from small independent restaurants through to high-volume contract catering operations. It is a cost-effective choice for bulk prepping and ingredient storage where standard GN sizing is already in use. If you are building out a full gastronorm storage system and are unsure which combination of depths and lid types best suits your workflow, the team is happy to help work through it with you.
From £5.83(£7.00 inc VAT)
This Vogue half-size gastronorm container is a straightforward polycarbonate storage and prep pan sized to the 1/2 GN standard, making it compatible with the vast majority of gastronorm-rated refrigeration, bain marie units, and prep tables in commercial use. At 65mm deep it sits in the shallower end of the GN range, which suits portion-controlled prep work, cold counters, and ingredient storage where depth would mean unnecessary bulk.
Polycarbonate containers of this type are a practical everyday workhorse across most catering environments. The material stays cool to the touch even when contents are chilled, which makes handling quicker and more comfortable during a busy service. The temperature tolerance of the polycarbonate means these containers move safely from cold storage through prep without any concern about material stress — they are not intended for oven or direct heat use, and operators should be aware of that distinction when planning workflows.
A few practical points worth noting for day-to-day use:
- Dishwasher safe and designed to drip dry quickly, reducing turnaround time between services
- Lightweight construction makes repetitive handling less fatiguing during long shifts
- Stackable profile helps keep cold store and prep areas organised under pressure
- Compatible with standard 1/2 GN lids, including clip-on and seal-tight variants
- Clear polycarbonate allows quick visual identification of contents without opening
These containers are well suited to delis, sandwich operations, salad bars, cold preparation kitchens, and any site that runs a gastronorm-based refrigeration system. For operations requiring deeper storage — sauces, bulk ingredients, or wet goods — a 100mm or 150mm depth in the same GN footprint may be a more practical fit.
If you are building out a gastronorm storage system and want to make sure the containers, lids, and units all work together, the team are happy to talk it through.
From £1.50(£1.80 inc VAT)
This is a polycarbonate lid sized to fit 1/6 gastronorm containers. It is designed specifically for use with Vogue's own range of 1/6 GN polycarbonate storage trays, providing a secure, close-fitting cover that helps maintain food quality during cold storage, transportation between sections, or short-term holding.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for busy kitchen environments. It handles knocks and drops far better than alternatives, and the material stays cool to the touch even when the container beneath holds warm food — a straightforward benefit when staff are moving items quickly during service. The wide temperature tolerance makes these lids equally suited to deep-chill storage and ambient or light warm-holding duties.
- Dishwasher safe — runs through a commercial pass-through or undercounter machine without issue
- Lightweight construction reduces handling strain over a long service
- Stackable profile keeps storage areas tidy and efficient
- Compatible with the full Vogue 1/6 polycarbonate GN container range
There are no special installation or infrastructure requirements here. These lids are straightforward to integrate into any existing gastronorm system, provided the containers themselves are the correct 1/6 GN format. It is worth confirming compatibility if your existing containers are from a different manufacturer, as fitment can vary slightly between brands.
This lid suits any operation that uses 1/6 GN polycarbonate containers for cold storage, mise en place, or service-line organisation — from small café kitchens through to high-volume contract catering. For sites using a larger GN format across the line, alternative sizes are available in the same range.
If you are unsure which lid size or format suits your current container setup, the team are happy to help you work it out before you order.
£8.86(£10.63 inc VAT)
This is a 1/9 gastronorm polycarbonate food tray from Cambro's High Heat range, made for commercial kitchens that need a single container to move between cold storage, the oven, a steam table, or the microwave without needing to transfer food. The 65mm depth gives useful holding capacity for condiments, garnishes, sauces, or portioned items at a service station.
Polycarbonate at this specification handles a wide temperature range — from frozen storage through to high-heat cooking and reheating — without warping or cracking. The flat base supports even heat distribution, which helps avoid hot spots when reheating smaller volumes in a busy service environment. In practice, this kind of tray earns its place on pass counters, prep lines, and bain-maries where multiple GN sizes are running in parallel.
- Moves from freezer to oven to service without needing a swap-out
- Reinforced textured handle with finger grip for secure one-handed handling
- Flat base helps maintain even temperature across contents
- Microwave safe, suitable for freezing, cooking and reheating
- Lightweight at 190g — practical for high-turnover prep environments
Being a 1/9 GN size, this tray fits into standard GN-compatible inserts and adapter frames. It is worth confirming that your existing bain-marie, cold well, or counter frame accommodates 1/9 GN sections before ordering multiples. For operations needing greater volume in a single container, wider or deeper GN options are available.
This tray suits smaller service outlets, food prep stations, hotel buffet counters, and any operation where a compact, multi-use GN container reduces the number of vessels in rotation. If you are fitting out a new pass or unsure how many 1/9 sections your setup requires, we are happy to talk it through.
From £3.95(£4.74 inc VAT)
This Vogue 1/3 gastronorm container is a straightforward polycarbonate food storage pan in the widely used third-size format. At 65mm deep, it sits comfortably within the standard range of GN depths — deep enough to hold a useful working volume of ingredient, sauce, or prepped product, while remaining easy to handle during service.
Polycarbonate containers like this are a practical everyday choice for cold prep and service environments. The material stays cool to the touch even when the contents are chilled, which helps with handling during a busy service. The wide operating temperature range means these pans can move from cold storage into ambient service conditions without issue, and they are suitable for use in bains marie operating at moderate temperatures.
For kitchens running a gastronorm system, the main practical advantages of a polycarbonate pan at this size are:
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repeated handling on the pass
- Stackable profile helps keep fridge and larder storage organised
- Dishwasher safe and designed to drip dry quickly, supporting a fast turnaround between services
- Virtually unbreakable material holds up well to the knocks of a working kitchen
- Transparent body allows contents to be identified without removing the lid
These containers are not suitable for oven use or direct heat. They are best used in refrigerated storage, cold prep, and cold or moderate-temperature service situations. For high-temperature holding or oven-to-table applications, a stainless steel gastronorm pan would be the more appropriate choice.
This size works well for smaller-volume ingredients, garnishes, sauces, and portioned prep. Kitchens with higher-volume requirements may find a deeper or larger GN format better suited to their throughput.
If you are equipping a new prep station or rationalising your gastronorm system and want to talk through which sizes and depths make most sense for your operation, we are happy to help.
£10.60(£12.72 inc VAT)
This Araven 1/6 gastronorm container is part of a colour-coded allergen management system designed for commercial kitchen use. The purple colour is widely recognised in professional kitchens as a dedicated allergen identifier, making it straightforward to keep allergen-containing ingredients physically separated from the rest of your prep and storage. Used correctly, colour-coded containers like this one form a practical, visible layer of allergen control within a broader food safety protocol.
Made from polypropylene, the container handles the day-to-day demands of a working kitchen well. It tolerates temperature extremes from freezer storage through to hot holding conditions, copes with repeated dishwasher cycles without distorting, and resists the kind of knocks and drops that are routine in a busy service environment.
From an operational standpoint, the container offers a few features worth noting:
- Pull-tab lid allows quick one-handed access during service
- Wipe-clean integrated label panel for date and content marking
- Stackable profile helps keep fridge and cold storage organised
- Dishwasher and freezer safe for flexible use across prep and storage
- Fits standard 1/6 GN slots in gastronorm-compatible equipment
The 1/6 size suits portioned ingredients, garnishes, sauces, and allergen-specific components where smaller volumes are the norm. It fits directly into gastronorm-compatible cold wells, bain-maries, and prep inserts, which makes it practical for both storage and service line use. For operations that store larger quantities of allergen ingredients, the same range is available in larger GN sizes.
If you are setting up a full allergen colour-coding system across your kitchen and want to make sure you are choosing the right sizes and quantities for your workflow, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£1.79(£2.15 inc VAT)
This is a notched polycarbonate lid sized to fit standard 1/6 gastronorm containers. The notch allows a spoon or ladle to rest in the lid during service without removing it entirely, which helps maintain temperature and reduces contamination risk at the point of use.
Polycarbonate is the practical choice for lids that get handled repeatedly throughout a shift. It remains cool to the touch even when covering warm contents, which reduces the risk of burns during busy service. The material is also resistant to cracking and chipping under the everyday knocks of a working kitchen — significantly more durable than equivalent ceramic or glass options.
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during prep and service
- Stackable design supports organised cold storage and refrigeration
- Rated down to -40°C, suitable for blast chilling and freezer storage
- Notched profile allows utensils to rest in position during service
The lid is suited to refrigerated storage, cold prep counters, and bain-marie service lines. It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing gastronorm containers before ordering, as lid fit can vary slightly between manufacturers even within the same nominal GN size.
This lid is a practical everyday item for most catering operations. If you are equipping a full gastronorm storage system or need lids across several GN sizes, it is worth getting in touch — we can help you match lids to containers and make sure everything works together on the line.
From £6.55(£7.86 inc VAT)
This Vogue 1/3 gastronorm container is made from polycarbonate — a robust plastic material widely used in commercial kitchens for food storage, prep, and service. At 150mm deep, it offers a useful capacity for bulk ingredients, portioned foods, or refrigerated storage, and fits standard gastronorm-compatible equipment including bain maries, cold wells, and storage racks.
Polycarbonate containers of this type are a practical day-to-day workhorse in most professional kitchens. They handle the knocks and demands of a busy pass or prep area without cracking or shattering in the way that traditional materials might. The material stays cool to the touch, which matters when staff are handling containers repeatedly during service. The temperature tolerance of -40°C to 100°C means the same container moves reliably from cold storage into a hot bain marie without issue.
- Dishwasher safe and designed to drip dry quickly, reducing turnaround time between uses
- Lightweight construction makes handling and stacking easier during long shifts
- Compatible with standard GN lids for sealed storage and spillage control
- Clear material allows contents to be identified at a glance without opening
These containers are suited to most commercial settings — cafés, pub kitchens, care homes, schools, and contract catering operations. They are a cost-effective choice where multiple units are needed across service and storage areas. That said, if an application involves sustained high temperatures or requires NSF-rated equipment, it is worth confirming the right material specification before ordering in volume.
If you are looking to standardise your storage containers across a site or have questions about which depth and size combination works best for your operation, the team is happy to help.
£26.04(£31.25 inc VAT)
This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm container from Cambro, moulded in polycarbonate and designed for food storage across prep, service, and refrigerated holding environments. At 200mm deep, it holds a substantial volume — well suited to bulk ingredient storage, batch-prepared foods, or cold-side mise en place where a shallower pan would fall short.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for this type of container. It is significantly more impact-resistant than standard food-grade plastic, which matters in a busy kitchen where containers are stacked, dropped, and handled repeatedly across multiple services. The material is also fully transparent, so contents can be identified at a glance without lifting lids or rummaging through a cold store — a small but genuinely useful advantage during a fast-paced service.
- Clear polycarbonate body allows quick visual stock checks without opening
- Raised lip profile sits cleanly in standard GN racks and storage frames
- Rated for use from frozen storage through to hot-side ambient holding
- Dishwasher safe for rapid turnaround between services
- Compatible with Cambro lids for sealed storage and cross-contamination control
The wide temperature tolerance means these containers move between freezer storage and kitchen ambient use without issue, which makes them versatile across different storage scenarios. Lids are sold separately — if sealed storage is a requirement for your operation, it is worth specifying these at the same time.
This container is a straightforward, reliable choice for kitchens needing durable GN-format storage at full size. For operations requiring a shallower profile or a smaller GN fraction, alternatives are available within the range. If you are unsure which depth or size best suits your storage setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£1.73(£2.08 inc VAT)
This is a polycarbonate lid designed to fit Cambro's 1/9 gastronorm containers. It sits flush over the container to protect food from contamination and help retain temperature during holding and storage. At 1/9 GN, it's the smallest of the standard gastronorm sizes — commonly used in bain-marie setups, cold wells, and mise en place sections where smaller quantities of ingredients or sauces need to be covered between service stages.
In a working kitchen, these lids tend to earn their keep at the prep station and on the pass. They're practical for covering portioned garnishes, condiments, or any item that needs to sit ready but protected. The integral handle makes them straightforward to lift cleanly without disturbing the contents, which matters when service is moving quickly.
- Polycarbonate construction is resistant to cracking and discolouration under regular use
- Rated for use from chilled storage through to hot-holding temperatures
- Dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward at the end of service
- Sized specifically for 1/9 GN containers — ensures a secure, consistent fit
It's worth noting that this lid is designed specifically for Cambro's own 1/9 polycarbonate containers. Compatibility with other manufacturers' 1/9 GN containers is not guaranteed, and it's worth checking the fit before committing to larger quantities.
This lid suits any kitchen that already uses Cambro's 1/9 polycarbonate range — from small restaurants and cafés to grab-and-go operations and catering vans where compact storage is important. If you use larger GN containers across your operation, lids in matching sizes are also available.
If you're building out a complete storage and mise en place setup and want to make sure everything works together, our team is happy to help you work through what you need.
£8.11(£9.73 inc VAT)
This is a standard half-size gastronorm food storage container made from polypropylene. It fits the 1/2 GN footprint used across most commercial refrigeration, cold prep units, and storage racking, making it a practical workhorse for ingredient storage, prep organisation, and service mise en place.
Polypropylene containers of this type are a common choice in busy kitchens because they hold up well to daily handling, repeated washing, and the temperature swings that come with moving food between cold storage and ambient prep environments. The rated temperature range covers refrigerator and light freezer use through to ambient service conditions, which gives them reasonable flexibility across different storage applications.
- Fits standard 1/2 GN racking, cold prep units, and bain-marie frames
- Polypropylene construction resists staining and absorbs little odour over time
- Compatible with most commercial dishwashers for quick turnaround
- Uniform sizing allows consistent stacking and labelling in cold storage
- Suitable for chilled storage and ambient prep holding
These containers work well in most standard commercial kitchen configurations. They are a practical fit for sites that need reliable, interchangeable storage across a busy fridge or walk-in. The 150mm depth suits bulk ingredient storage rather than shallow service pans — worth bearing in mind if you are fitting them into a specific cold prep unit where clearance is tight. For sites needing shallower or deeper capacities, other depths in the same GN format are worth considering alongside this one.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or standardising your gastronorm storage across multiple units, it is worth having a conversation with us to make sure the depths and sizes you choose work together efficiently across your setup.
£33.44(£40.13 inc VAT)
The Pujadas 1/1 allergen-free GN pan is a plastic gastronorm container designed specifically for kitchens that need to manage allergen separation as part of their food safety protocols. Unlike standard polycarbonate or polypropylene GN pans, this pan is produced in a dedicated allergen-free manufacturing process, making it a practical tool for operators who need to demonstrate clear separation between allergen-containing and allergen-free ingredients.
In a busy service environment, the value of dedicated allergen-free equipment is straightforward: it removes ambiguity. When pans are visually or procedurally designated for allergen-free use, kitchen teams can follow preparation and service workflows with greater confidence. This is particularly relevant in establishments serving customers with serious food allergies or intolerances, where cross-contact risk needs to be actively managed at every stage from prep through to the pass.
From a practical standpoint, this pan fits standard 1/1 GN equipment — refrigeration, bain marie, hot and cold counters — so it integrates without disruption into an existing setup. Key operational benefits include:
- Supports allergen segregation protocols at prep and storage stages
- Compatible with standard 1/1 GN frames, counters and refrigeration
- Lightweight and easy to handle during service
- Smooth interior surfaces support quick cleaning and turnaround
- Suitable for both cold prep and ambient service applications
This pan is well suited to any commercial kitchen operating allergen management procedures — from school and hospital catering through to restaurants and contract caterers. Operators running high-allergen menus or those working towards stronger food safety documentation will find dedicated allergen-free GN ware a sensible addition to their smallwares inventory. If you need guidance on building out a full allergen-safe prep setup, our team is happy to talk through the options.
£6.74(£8.09 inc VAT)
This is the soft seal lid designed to fit Cambro's full-size (1/1 GN) polypropylene gastronorm containers. Made from polypropylene, it features an inner sealing ring that sits against the container rim to reduce the risk of spillage and limit contamination during storage, transit between sections, or during refrigerated holding.
In a working kitchen, lids like this earn their keep through repeated use across service. The soft seal provides enough resistance to keep contents secure when containers are moved between the pass, cold store, or prep area, without being difficult to remove under pressure. Pull-tab corners at each end allow quick one-handed removal, which matters when hands are busy or gloved. The clear polypropylene lets staff identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid, reducing unnecessary handling and helping to maintain hygiene discipline.
Practical advantages in day-to-day use include:
- Inner seal reduces spillage risk when moving loaded containers
- Clear material allows contents identification without removing the lid
- Pull-tab corners support quick, controlled removal during service
- Polypropylene construction is resistant to staining and odour absorption
- Rated for use from frozen storage through to ambient holding conditions
This lid is compatible with Cambro polypropylene 1/1 GN containers. It is not designed for use on stainless steel gastronorm pans or containers from other manufacturers, so it is worth confirming compatibility before purchasing in quantity. The temperature range makes it suitable for refrigerated and frozen storage, though it is not intended for oven or hot-holding use.
A straightforward choice for operations already using Cambro polypropylene gastronorm containers who need a reliable, well-fitting lid for cold storage and service. If you're setting up a gastronorm storage system from scratch or need lids across multiple GN sizes, it's worth a conversation to make sure you're selecting the right combination of containers and lids for your workflow.
£3.16(£3.79 inc VAT)
This is a standard 1/6 gastronorm container made from food-grade polycarbonate, sized at 100mm deep. It fits any gastronorm-compatible rack, prep unit, cold well or buffet display designed to accept 1/6 GN pans, and is a practical choice for portioning, ingredient storage and service line organisation.
Polycarbonate containers of this type are commonly used across prep kitchens, cold larder sections and front-of-house buffet setups. The clear material means contents are visible without opening the container, which helps during fast-paced service when time spent identifying ingredients matters. The material also tolerates cold storage temperatures down to -40°C, making it suitable for freezer use as well as refrigerator storage.
- Clear polycarbonate body allows quick visual identification of contents
- Compatible with standard gastronorm racks, cold wells and buffet units
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Suitable for use in both refrigerated and frozen storage conditions
- Lids are available separately to provide a seal for cross-contamination control
Being polycarbonate rather than stainless steel, this container is not suitable for oven use or hot-holding above 100°C, and it is worth noting that polycarbonate can discolour over time with heavy dishwasher use or exposure to strongly pigmented foods. For operations needing hot-holding or bain-marie use, stainless steel gastronorm pans would be the appropriate choice.
This size works well in smaller prep operations, bakeries, delis and hospitality venues with modest mise en place requirements. Larger volume kitchens or central production units often require a greater depth or a larger gastronorm fraction to suit their throughput — if you are equipping a full service line or a high-volume prep kitchen, it is worth discussing your full container requirements before ordering.
If you are unsure which sizes and depths best suit your setup, we are happy to talk it through.
£71.39(£85.67 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical storage solution for commercial kitchens, supplied as a pack of four in the 1/3 GN format. Made from food-safe polypropylene, they are designed to sit directly into standard gastronorm frames and refrigerated prep units, making them straightforward to integrate into existing kitchen storage setups.
Polypropylene containers of this type are commonly used across prep kitchens, deli counters, and cold larder sections where reliable, everyday food storage is needed. The airtight lid design helps maintain freshness and reduces cross-contamination risk during storage. Each container carries a permanent wipe-clean label, which makes stock rotation and allergen labelling more manageable in a busy service environment.
The colour-coded clip system — with red, yellow, green, and blue sets included — is a useful practical feature for kitchens operating allergen management or ingredient segregation protocols. Key operational benefits include:
- Colour-coded clips support allergen and ingredient segregation systems
- Airtight lids help preserve freshness during refrigerated storage
- Permanent wipe-clean labels support allergen and date labelling compliance
- Dishwasher-safe construction simplifies cleaning turnaround
- Fits standard 1/3 GN frames, inserts, and refrigerated prep units
These containers are suitable for a wide temperature range, making them equally practical for refrigerated storage and for holding ingredients that move between cold and ambient environments during prep. They are not intended for oven or direct heat use.
This pack suits most mid-sized or high-volume kitchens as a reliable, everyday prep and storage container. For operations needing larger volume storage across multiple stations, deeper or full-size GN alternatives may be worth considering.
If you are unsure which container sizes or quantities best suit your prep workflow, our team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
£69.46(£83.35 inc VAT)
This Araven food storage container is a full GN 1/1 size, 150mm deep, made from ABS plastic and colour-coded in blue. It is designed to fit standard gastronorm shelving and refrigeration, making it a practical choice for organised cold storage in a professional kitchen. The container comes supplied with a lid, a set of colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean label for content identification and date rotation.
In day-to-day kitchen use, a reliable labelling and colour-coding system is one of the simplest ways to reduce cross-contamination risk and support HACCP compliance. The blue designation is commonly used in many kitchens for raw fish, though teams are free to assign colour codes to their own allergen or rotation protocols. The wipe-clean label strip removes the need for tape and marker pen, which saves time during a busy service prep.
- Fits standard gastronorm refrigeration and shelving without adaptation
- ABS construction is robust under regular dishwasher cycles
- Colour-coded clips support visual stock rotation and allergen separation
- Rated down to -40°C, suitable for blast-chilled and frozen storage
- Wipe-clean label panel simplifies date labelling without tape or markers
The container is both microwave and dishwasher safe, and the ABS material handles a temperature range of -40°C through to 90°C, which covers most cold-hold and gentle reheat applications. It is worth noting that ABS is not suited to high-temperature oven use, so this container should not be treated as an oven-to-table vessel.
This size works well in most professional kitchens as a general-purpose cold storage container. It is particularly well suited to high-turnover prep environments where clear labelling and GN compatibility are a priority. For sites needing shallower depths for portioned storage or deeper units for bulk prep, alternative sizes are available within the range.
If you are standardising your storage system across a kitchen and want to confirm the right combination of depths and colour codes for your workflow, we are happy to help you work through it.
£122.00(£146.40 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical solution for food prep storage, chilled holding, and general ingredient organisation across a wide range of commercial kitchens. Sized to the 2/3 GN format, they fit standard gastronorm fridges, prep counters, and pass-through equipment without modification, and each pack supplies four containers ready for immediate use.
Polypropylene is a well-established material choice for food storage containers in professional kitchens. It handles the temperature demands of cold storage and short-term hot holding reliably, tolerates repeated dishwasher cycles without significant degradation, and resists the staining and odour absorption that can be a problem with lower-grade plastics. The temperature tolerance across a wide range means these containers move comfortably from the freezer through to ambient prep use.
Each container carries a permanent wipe-clean label, which helps with date labelling and content identification under HACCP requirements. The colour-coded clip system — with red, yellow, green, and blue sets included — is particularly useful for allergen separation or departmental colour-coding protocols without requiring additional labelling equipment.
- Colour-coded clips support allergen separation and HACCP workflows
- Permanent wipe-clean label on every container for date and content marking
- Dishwasher-safe for straightforward turnaround between service periods
- Gastronorm sizing ensures compatibility with standard refrigeration and storage racking
These containers suit kitchens of most sizes, from smaller operations looking for reliable everyday storage to larger sites building out a standardised colour-coding system. For operations requiring greater individual capacity or a shallower profile for certain prep applications, other GN sizes and depths are available within the range.
If you are building out a storage system across multiple sections or have specific allergen management requirements, our team is happy to talk through the options before you order.
£36.65(£43.98 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical solution for portioning, storing, and labelling ingredients across a commercial kitchen. Sized to the 1/6 GN standard, they drop directly into gastronorm-compatible fridges, cold wells, and bain-marie units without adaptation.
Polypropylene construction makes these containers light, robust, and resistant to the daily handling of a busy kitchen environment. The material tolerates the full temperature range from deep freeze through to hot-holding applications, which means the same container can move between storage and service without needing a swap. They are dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward during turnaround between services.
Each container comes supplied with a set of colour-coding clips and a permanent wipe-clean label, which are genuinely useful for allergen management, HACCP compliance, and basic food rotation without relying on separate labelling systems. In practice, this makes them particularly suitable for prep kitchens handling multiple dietary requirements or high ingredient turnover.
- Fits directly into standard 1/6 GN slots in refrigeration and service equipment
- Colour-coding clips support allergen separation and food rotation procedures
- Wipe-clean label allows repeated use without residue build-up
- Suitable for freezer storage through to ambient and light hot-holding use
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between services
These containers are well suited to most commercial kitchens as a day-to-day prep and storage workhorse. Sites with very high ingredient volumes may find it worth considering larger GN formats alongside these. If you are unsure which sizes best fit your cold storage configuration, the team is happy to help you work that out.
£6.74(£8.09 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward polypropylene lid designed to fit full-size 1/1 gastronorm trays. It covers and protects stored food in prep, service, and storage environments, and is rated for use anywhere from frozen storage through to warm ambient conditions.
In a working kitchen, a reliable GN lid earns its place through consistent, unglamorous use — keeping prepped ingredients covered during service, protecting stored product in the walk-in, and allowing trays to be stacked without risk of cross-contamination between levels. The clear material means staff can identify contents without lifting the lid, which is a small but practical advantage during a busy service.
- Clear polypropylene allows contents to be identified without removing the lid
- Designed to fit securely over most standard full-size 1/1 GN trays
- Suitable for use across ambient, refrigerated, and frozen storage environments
- Stackable when in use, helping to make efficient use of limited storage space
- Smooth polypropylene surface is easy to clean and dishwasher safe
Polypropylene is a sensible material choice for this application — it handles the temperature range encountered in most cold storage and ambient prep environments, resists staining reasonably well, and cleans without much effort. It is not suited to use in hot holding or on cooking equipment, and will not tolerate direct heat.
This lid is well suited to most commercial kitchens using standard GN tray systems — from small independent restaurants through to contract catering operations. If your kitchen uses non-standard or deeper GN trays, it is worth checking compatibility before ordering a larger quantity.
If you are unsure whether this lid is compatible with your existing tray stock, the team is happy to help.
£2.11(£2.53 inc VAT)
This is a flat polycarbonate lid designed to fit Cambro's 1/6 gastronorm food trays. Its primary function is straightforward: to cover stored or prepped ingredients securely, helping to maintain freshness, prevent cross-contamination, and support HACCP-compliant food storage practice.
In a working kitchen, 1/6 GN lids like this one earn their keep through sheer repetition. They go on and come off dozens of times during a service, so the material quality matters more than it might seem at first glance. The crystal-clear polycarbonate gives an immediate view of the contents without removing the lid, which keeps prep lines moving efficiently. The material is also resistant to staining from food acids and oils, so it stays looking presentable and wipes down cleanly without harbouring residue.
Practically speaking, this lid is particularly useful in a few common scenarios:
- Covering ingredient trays on cold prep tables during service
- Stacking trays in reach-in refrigerators or walk-in coolers without wasting vertical space
- Protecting prepped food between preparation and service
- Supporting allergen separation when labelling trays in storage
The polycarbonate construction is rated across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for cold storage environments as well as ambient prep use. It is not intended for oven or high-heat applications. Compatibility is specifically with Cambro polycarbonate 1/6 GN trays — if you are using a different brand of GN container, it is worth confirming the fit before ordering in volume.
This lid suits any operation using Cambro polycarbonate gastronorm trays as part of their storage or prep workflow — from small café kitchens to larger catering operations running multiple prep stations. If you are building out a full set of GN trays and lids across different sizes, our team is happy to help make sure you have the right combination for your setup.
£71.39(£85.67 inc VAT)
This Araven food storage container is a GN 1/1 sized box moulded from ABS plastic, supplied in blue as part of a colour-coded system designed to support allergen management and food rotation in busy kitchens. It comes supplied with a lid, a set of colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean label panel for recording contents and dates.
In day-to-day kitchen use, colour-coded storage is one of the more practical ways to reduce cross-contamination risk and keep prep areas organised during a busy service. The blue designation fits naturally into most HACCP-based colour separation systems. The airtight lid and locking clips help maintain freshness and prevent spillage when containers are stacked or moved between areas — useful in walk-in fridges or during transit from prep to service.
The material handles a working temperature range from well below freezing to near-boiling point, which means these containers move comfortably between cold storage, ambient prep, and gentle heat without warping or degrading. They are both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling time and simplifies end-of-service cleaning routines.
- Colour-coded blue designation supports allergen and food type separation
- Airtight lid with locking clips reduces spillage and maintains freshness
- Wipe-clean label panel aids content identification and date rotation
- Dishwasher safe construction keeps cleaning straightforward
- GN 1/1 footprint fits standard gastronorm storage racks and shelving
This size suits kitchens storing larger batch-prepped items — stocks, marinades, bulk salads, or portioned proteins. For operations requiring shallower depths or different GN fractions, other sizes within the same range are worth considering. If you are building out a full colour-coded storage system or are unsure which sizes suit your volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
£3.99(£4.79 inc VAT)
This is a clear polypropylene lid designed to fit standard half-size (1/2 GN) gastronorm pans. It covers the pan securely to protect contents during storage, whether held at ambient temperature, refrigerated, or frozen.
In a working kitchen, loose or uncovered gastronorm pans create hygiene risks and accelerate deterioration of prepped ingredients. A well-fitting lid addresses both concerns without adding complexity to the workflow. The clear polypropylene material means staff can identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid — useful when pans are stacked in a refrigerator or on a cold shelf during a busy service.
Practically, this lid offers a few straightforward operational advantages:
- Reduces cross-contamination risk during storage and transit
- Allows pans to be safely stacked, saving shelf and refrigerator space
- Clear material makes contents visible without removing the lid
- Polypropylene is easy to clean and tolerates regular commercial dishwasher use
- Suitable for ambient, chilled, and frozen storage conditions
There are no installation requirements. The lid is intended purely for storage use and is not suitable for oven, bain-marie, or direct heat applications. It fits standard 1/2 GN pans from most manufacturers, though fit can vary slightly between pan profiles — if you are using pans with non-standard rim designs, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering in volume.
This lid is well suited to any operation that uses half-size gastronorm pans for cold storage or prep — whether that is a hotel kitchen, pub kitchen, contract caterer, or food production unit. For operations storing primarily in full-size pans, a 1/1 GN lid would be the more practical choice.
If you are fitting out a new kitchen or standardising your gastronorm storage system and are unsure which sizes or quantities to stock, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£44.38(£53.26 inc VAT)
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical storage solution for commercial kitchens that work to standard GN sizing. Supplied as a pack of four 1/4 GN units, they are designed to sit within gastronorm-compatible fridges, prep tables, bain-maries, and storage racks, making them straightforward to integrate into an existing kitchen setup.
Polypropylene construction makes these containers well suited to the full cold-chain workflow — from freezer storage through to refrigerated service prep — and they will tolerate the heat of a dishwasher cycle without warping or degrading. The wide temperature tolerance means a single container can move between freezer storage and warm holding conditions without issue, which reduces the number of separate vessels a kitchen needs to manage across a shift.
Each container comes supplied with a set of colour-coded clips and a permanent wipe-clean label, which supports allergen management and food rotation discipline without requiring additional labelling equipment. In kitchens operating HACCP-based systems, this kind of built-in identification goes a long way toward keeping prep sections organised during busy service.
- Colour-coded clips support allergen separation and food rotation at a glance
- Wipe-clean label allows contents and date marking without additional stickers
- Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between service periods
- Compatible with standard GN refrigeration, prep tables, and storage racks
At 1/4 GN, these are best suited to smaller prep volumes, garnishes, sauces, and portioned ingredients rather than bulk storage. Kitchens with higher-volume storage requirements may find larger GN sizes more practical for principal ingredients.
If you are unsure which GN sizes and quantities best suit your workflow, we are happy to help you work through it.
£6.61(£7.93 inc VAT)
This is a notched polycarbonate lid designed to fit full-size 1/1 gastronorm containers. The notch accommodates a ladle or serving spoon, making it practical for bain-marie or buffet use where the container needs to remain partially covered during service. It is made from polycarbonate rather than the more common clear plastic alternatives, which gives it considerably better impact resistance — useful in a busy kitchen where lids are regularly stacked, dropped, or put through the dish wash.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the lid performs reliably across both cold storage and hot-hold applications. The polycarbonate material handles temperatures from -40°C through to 100°C, so it moves comfortably from a blast chiller or cold room into a bain-marie setup without issue. It stays cool to the touch even when the container beneath is holding warm food, which reduces handling risk during service.
From a practical standpoint, this lid offers a few straightforward advantages:
- Notched design keeps food covered while allowing a ladle to remain in the pan
- Polycarbonate construction is highly resistant to cracking and impact damage
- Dishwasher safe and designed to drip dry quickly, keeping turnaround simple
- Lightweight and stackable for neat, space-efficient storage
- Compatible with standard 1/1 GN containers across most brands
There are no particular installation requirements for a lid of this type, but it is worth confirming compatibility with your existing gastronorm containers before ordering, particularly if you are using non-standard or older stock. Polycarbonate lids are not suitable for use in conventional ovens or under direct heat sources — if oven-to-table use is a regular requirement, stainless steel alternatives would be more appropriate.
This lid is well suited to operations that use full-size gastronorm containers for cold prep storage, bain-marie service, or ingredient holding. It is a practical choice for catering contractors, hotel kitchens, event caterers, and any operation running a high volume of GN containers through regular dish wash cycles. If you have questions about GN compatibility or volume requirements across your operation, the team is happy to help.
£16.20(£19.44 inc VAT)
This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm container made from polycarbonate, manufactured by Cambro — a brand widely used across professional kitchens, catering operations and food service environments. At 100mm deep, it sits in the mid-range of gastronorm depths and is commonly used for storing bulk ingredients, prepped foods and mise en place in fridges, cold wells and storage racks.
Polycarbonate is the standard material for this type of container in commercial kitchens because it combines good impact resistance with full transparency. Being able to see the contents clearly without removing lids or labels is a small but consistent time-saver during a busy service. Cambro's polycarbonate containers are also well regarded for holding their clarity over repeated dishwasher cycles, which cheaper alternatives often fail to do.
- Clear polycarbonate allows quick visual stock checks without opening
- Compatible with standard gastronorm racks, cold wells and buffet units
- Raised lip design seats securely in racking systems
- Dishwasher safe, reducing manual cleaning time
- Rated for use from frozen storage through to hot-hold prep temperatures
Cambro lids for this container are sold separately. If you are buying containers for stack storage or overnight fridge storage, it is worth ordering lids at the same time to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination. The 100mm depth works well for most standard prep and storage tasks, but shallower and deeper options are available in the same range if your workflow calls for them.
This container suits kitchens of most sizes — from small independent restaurants through to high-volume contract catering operations. If you are fitting out a new kitchen or standardising your storage across sections, it is worth discussing quantities and depth combinations with the team to make sure you have the right mix for your setup.
From £5.83(£7.00 inc VAT)
This Vogue quarter-size gastronorm container is moulded from polycarbonate and designed to fit standard 1/4 GN positions across countertop refrigeration units, prep stations, and bain marie setups. At 150mm deep, it offers a practical capacity suitable for storing sauces, garnishes, dressings, and portioned ingredients during service.
Polycarbonate containers are a reliable choice for cold-side use in busy kitchens. The material stays cool to the touch when handling refrigerated contents, which is useful during fast-paced service where items are being accessed repeatedly. The containers are also notably lighter than their stainless steel equivalents, reducing fatigue when moving or rearranging mise en place during a shift.
- Lightweight construction makes repeated handling during service straightforward
- Dishwasher safe and designed to drip dry quickly, keeping turnaround time low
- Stackable when not in use, helping to manage storage space efficiently
- Polycarbonate material is virtually unbreakable under normal kitchen conditions
- Compatible with standard gastronorm lids and frames across the GN system
It is worth noting that polycarbonate has an upper temperature limit that makes it unsuitable for hot-holding or direct heat applications. These containers are best used on the cold side — refrigerated storage, ambient prep, and cold well service — rather than in bain maries or heated gantries. Always confirm compatibility with your existing GN frames and lids before ordering in volume.
This container suits most commercial kitchen environments where GN storage is in regular use: restaurants, cafés, deli counters, contract catering operations, and school or workplace canteens. For operations running high-volume refrigerated storage or needing deeper capacity in the same GN footprint, shallower and deeper alternatives are available within the range.
If you are building out a GN storage system or want guidance on matching container depths to your workflow, the team is happy to talk it through.
From £4.45(£5.34 inc VAT)
This Vogue polycarbonate container is a sixth-size gastronorm pan with a 150mm depth, designed for use across cold prep, refrigerated storage, and buffet or service line applications. It holds just over two litres and fits any standard 1/6 GN rack, insert unit, or bain marie frame.
Polycarbonate is the practical choice wherever stainless steel pans would be excessive — particularly in cold storage, salad bars, and chilled ingredient prep. The material stays cool to the touch even when moving pans in and out of refrigeration, which makes handling quicker and reduces the risk of cross-contamination from warm hands on cold product. It is also considerably lighter than equivalent steel, which matters when staff are repeatedly loading and clearing units during service.
- Compatible with all standard 1/6 GN fittings, racks, and inserts
- Dishwasher safe and designed to drip-dry quickly after washing
- Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue during busy service
- Stackable profile supports efficient cold room and fridge organisation
- Polycarbonate construction is highly impact-resistant for day-to-day use
The temperature rating — from -40°C through to 100°C — means these pans can move from the freezer to ambient or mildly warm environments without issue, though they are not intended for direct oven or high-heat bain marie use. Worth confirming your specific service temperature before specifying these for hot-hold applications.
These containers are a practical fit for delis, sandwich counters, salad bars, hotel breakfast operations, and any cold prep environment where GN compatibility is needed without the weight or cost of stainless. If you need guidance on quantities or whether a shallower or deeper pan better suits your setup, the team is happy to help you work that out.
