Serving Baskets & Cans

This is a small paper bread basket from Pujadas, sized to hold a couple of rolls or a small portion of bread for individual table service. The grey finish gives it a clean, neutral look that works well across casual dining, café, and more formal restaurant settings without drawing attention away from the food.

For front-of-house teams, the practical benefit is straightforward: bread and rolls arrive at the table in something presentable rather than piled on a side plate. The basket keeps portions contained, reduces spillage on the tablecloth, and signals a level of care around presentation that guests tend to notice. Pujadas produce the same basket in black and brown, which allows venues to standardise on a colour that fits their existing tableware.

• Compact footprint suits tight table settings and small covers
• Disposable paper construction — no washing up or turnaround time
• Consistent presentation across all covers during service
• Available in coordinating colourways for tabletop uniformity

There is nothing complicated to consider here — no installation, no power requirements. The main practical question is volume: if you are running a high-volume bread service or buffet where baskets are going out in quantity, it is worth ordering accordingly and considering whether a larger format basket would suit your portion sizes better.

This basket is well suited to cafés, bistros, and mid-scale restaurants serving bread as a table starter or accompaniment. For buffet lines or sharing-style service, a wider or deeper basket may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure which size or finish works best alongside your current tableware, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This Beaumont round bread basket is a straightforward stainless steel serving basket intended for table service and buffet display. At 203mm across, it sits comfortably on a dining table or buffet counter and is a practical size for portioning bread rolls, flatbreads, or similar accompaniments for individual covers or small sharing portions.

Stainless steel construction means it holds up well in a busy hospitality environment — it won't stain, doesn't absorb odours, and can be wiped down or put through a commercial glasswasher without concern. At 46g it's light enough for front-of-house staff to handle easily during service, and the open basket design makes it easy to check contents at a glance and replenish quickly when covers are turning.

In practical terms, this basket works well for:

• Bread and roll service at the table
• Buffet display of bread, pastries, or wrapped items
• Chip or side portion presentation in casual dining settings
• Light snack display at café counters or hospitality stations

It's worth noting that this is a single-piece serving basket rather than a lined or insulated option, so it won't retain heat. For operations where warm bread service is a priority, a lined basket or bread warmer may be more appropriate.

This size suits most standard covers well. For larger sharing tables or high-volume buffet runs where a bigger basket would reduce replenishment frequency, a larger format would be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this size fits your service style or you're putting together a full table setting, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to help you think it through.

The Pujadas 205mm round basket is a metal serving basket designed for front-of-house food presentation in cafes, restaurants, and hospitality operations. It sits within Pujadas's established range of round baskets and is commonly used for serving bread, chips, sides, and sharing portions directly to the table or across a buffet counter.

In a busy service environment, smallwares like this earn their place through reliability and practicality rather than complexity. The round format works well for a variety of portion types, and the metal construction handles repeated handling and washing without warping or deteriorating the way cheaper plastic alternatives can. It presents food cleanly without the need for additional crockery, which suits casual dining and sharing-plate menus particularly well.

• Suitable for bread, chips, sides, and sharing portions
• Metal construction holds up to regular front-of-house use
• Round format works across a range of portion sizes and menu styles
• Appropriate for table service, buffet, and counter presentation
• Part of a wider range of sizes for consistent table presentation

There are no installation requirements for a basket of this type, though it is worth considering how it integrates with your existing tableware in terms of finish and scale. The 205mm diameter suits individual or small shared portions; if your operation serves larger sharing dishes or family-style platters, a larger basket from the same range may be more appropriate.

This basket is well suited to cafes, casual dining restaurants, pub kitchens, and hospitality buffet setups where presentation matters but practicality cannot be compromised. It is a straightforward, proven piece of table serviceware that does its job without fuss.

If you are equipping a full table service setup or building a consistent display across a buffet, it is worth having a conversation about which sizes and quantities will work best for your menu and covers — we are happy to help you work that through.

The Steelite Creations metal fry basket is a compact serving basket designed for front-of-house presentation of fries, onion rings, bread, and similar small sides. At 105x92mm, it is sized for individual portions and is supplied without a handle, making it well suited to tray-based service or informal table settings where a handle would be impractical.

In busy restaurant and casual dining environments, presentation baskets like this see heavy daily use — repeated passes through commercial glasswashers and dishwashers, constant handling, and the occasional knock. The metal construction holds up well to the demands of a working kitchen pass and front-of-house service, maintaining its appearance over repeated cycles.

From an operational standpoint, this basket suits operators who want to move away from disposable or paper-lined crockery without committing to heavier or more expensive serveware. Key practical advantages include:

• Compact footprint suits small plate and side-dish presentations
• No handle keeps the profile low for tray or board service
• Metal construction withstands daily commercial dishwasher use
• Consistent sizing supports uniform plating across a team
• Sold in boxes of 12, supporting straightforward stock management

There are no complex installation or utility requirements — these drop straight into your existing service workflow. Storage space is the main practical consideration; at box quantities of 12, ensure you have adequate shelving in your crockery store before ordering in volume.

This basket is well suited to casual dining restaurants, burger concepts, gastropubs, and any operation running an informal or sharing-style menu. For higher-volume operations needing a larger basket or a handled variant, alternatives are available within the Steelite Creations range.

If you are unsure which size or configuration best fits your service style, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Pujadas cone basket is a metal wire display basket designed for table service and buffet presentation. Shaped in the cone style that has become a familiar format in casual dining and café settings, it is commonly used for serving chips, bread rolls, onion rings, and small sharing portions directly to the table or across a counter.

In a busy service environment, presentation items like this earn their place by doing a simple job reliably. The open wire construction allows heat and steam to escape, which helps maintain texture rather than trapping moisture — a practical advantage when you are turning tables quickly and food needs to look its best at the point it reaches the guest.

• Open wire design allows steam to escape, helping fried and baked items hold their texture
• Suitable for direct table service and buffet-style display
• Part of a range of cone baskets in different sizes and formats
• Works well alongside liners and greaseproof papers for easy changeovers
• Straightforward to clean and store, with a stackable profile

These baskets are best suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, pub kitchens, and hospitality operations looking for a consistent, presentable serving format for sides and sharing dishes. If you are equipping a large operation and need to match a specific aesthetic across a number of covers, it is worth looking at the wider Pujadas range to find the size and shape combination that works across your menu.

If you are putting together a front-of-house serving setup and want to make sure the sizes and formats work together, we are happy to help you select the right combination.

This is a straightforward square bread basket from Pujadas, finished in grey. It is designed for front-of-house use in restaurants, cafes, and hospitality venues where bread, rolls, or similar table accompaniments are served as part of the dining experience.

Bread baskets of this style are a practical choice for table service operations where presentation matters but replacement costs need to stay manageable. The grey finish gives a neutral, contemporary look that works across a range of table settings without drawing attention away from the food.

For operators running a coordinated tabletop scheme, the same basket is available in black and brown, which allows a consistent aesthetic across different sections or service styles without mismatched pieces appearing on the floor.

These baskets are best suited to mid-volume restaurant and café settings where a clean, unfussy presentation is preferred. For very high-turnover operations where baskets are cycled through service rapidly, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or more robust option would hold up better over time.

If you are putting together a broader table service range or want to discuss quantities and colour coordination, the team is happy to help.

This is a small square bread basket from Pujadas, designed for tabletop presentation of bread rolls, flatbreads, and light accompaniments in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues. Made to a compact format, it sits comfortably on a laid table without taking up excessive cover space.

In busy front-of-house settings, baskets like this earn their place through consistent, low-maintenance service. They keep bread contained and presented tidily during service, hold up to routine handling, and are straightforward to rotate between covers. The black finish is a practical choice — it reads as clean and neutral against most table linen and crockery, and shows less visible wear than lighter alternatives over time.

• Neat square format suited to table bread service and buffet display
• Black finish coordinates well with contemporary table settings
• Lightweight and easy to handle during fast-paced service
• Suitable for bread rolls, flatbreads, and small table accompaniments
• Available in additional colourways for a coordinated presentation scheme

There is little to consider in terms of installation or setup — these are ready to use and require no preparation beyond a standard wash before first service. Storage is straightforward given the compact footprint, and they stack or nest easily in most back-of-house environments.

This basket is well suited to table service operations, café counter display, and buffet setups where a consistent, tidy presentation is needed without investment in heavier serviceware. For operators with higher-volume buffet lines or outdoor catering requirements, a more robust or larger-format basket may be worth considering.

If you are equipping a full table setting scheme or want guidance on matching baskets to your existing serviceware, the team is happy to help.

The Olympia Deep Wire Presentation Basket is a rectangular stainless steel serving basket designed for table presentation of sharing dishes. The open wire construction keeps items visible and accessible, making it a practical choice for serving bread, sides, tapas, or sharing starters directly to the table.

In a busy service environment, presentation baskets like this one earn their place by adding a considered, consistent look to the table without slowing down the pass. Stainless steel construction holds up well under repeated daily use and resists the knocks and stacking pressure of a working kitchen. Because it goes straight into the dishwasher, turnaround between covers is quick and straightforward.

• Dishwasher safe — straightforward to clean between covers
• Open wire design keeps food visible and accessible for sharing
• Stainless steel construction handles repeated daily use reliably
• Rectangular format suits bread, fries, tapas, and sharing starters
• Sold singly, allowing operators to build quantity gradually

This basket is sold individually, which is worth bearing in mind when planning cover quantities. For higher-volume operations or larger table formats, it may be worth reviewing the full range of sizes available to find the right fit for your service style.

If you are unsure how many baskets suit your covers, or whether a different size or format would work better for your menu, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

This rectangular metal basket from Pujadas is a straightforward front-of-house serving piece, designed to present bread, chips, sides and sharing portions directly on the table or at a buffet station. The 230 x 175mm footprint gives a practical serving area without taking over the table, making it a sensible choice for covers where space is at a premium.

Pujadas produce this basket as part of a coordinated range of rectangular serving baskets in various sizes, which means operators can mix formats across different menu items while keeping a consistent look across the table or display. That consistency tends to matter in casual dining, café, and informal restaurant settings where the serve style is part of the overall experience.

From an operational standpoint, baskets like this earn their place by being quick to turn around between covers — easy to wipe down or replace liners, stackable for storage, and robust enough for daily service use without showing wear quickly. They suit bread service, fries and sides, antipasti, condiment display, and buffet-style sharing dishes equally well.

There are no installation requirements here. These baskets are ready to use and need no preparation beyond any liner or greaseproof paper you choose to use with them. They are available as part of a wider Pujadas range, so if you need a smaller format for amuse-bouche portions or a larger basket for sharing boards, there are options worth considering alongside this size.

If you are putting together a consistent table service look or equipping a buffet station and want to talk through which sizes and quantities make sense for your operation, we are happy to help.

This APS round canvas bag is a straightforward serving accessory designed for bread and breakfast service in buffet or tabletop settings. Made from a natural beige canvas, it provides a simple, presentable way to serve rolls, bread slices, or similar items without the need for formal crockery or specialised serving equipment.

In practice, these bags are commonly used across hotel breakfast operations, café counters, and restaurant bread services where a relaxed, informal presentation style suits the concept. They work well alongside wicker baskets and other natural-material serveware, contributing to a consistent table aesthetic without looking out of place in smarter settings.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Machine washable up to 40°C, keeping laundering straightforward for linen teams
• Lightweight canvas construction means minimal handling effort during service reset
• Neutral beige colouring works across most table settings and concepts
• Can be used directly on the table or placed inside a basket for added structure
• Quick to replace into rotation between service periods

There are no special installation or storage requirements. These bags take up minimal space and can be stored flat or stacked. They are best suited to lower-volume or ambient bread service rather than keeping items warm — there is no insulation, so they function purely as a presentational carrier. For operations needing to maintain temperature, a heated bread basket or similar alternative would be more appropriate.

Well suited to hotels, cafés, bistros, and any venue running a self-service or assisted buffet. If you are setting up a full buffet display and are unsure which serving accessories work best together, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Olympia Mini Metal Food Bucket is a shallow galvanised steel serving vessel designed for presenting individual portions at the table. At 150mm in diameter, it sits comfortably on a standard place setting and is a common choice for chips, scampi, breaded bites, and similar bar or casual dining dishes.

In front-of-house use, these buckets hold up well to the everyday demands of a busy service — stackable for storage, easy to carry in multiples, and straightforward to turn around between covers. The galvanised steel construction gives them a robust, consistent look that suits the informal aesthetic of gastropubs, burger bars, and casual dining operations without requiring constant replacement.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are fairly straightforward:

• Adds a consistent, contemporary presentation to bar snacks and sides
• Galvanised steel resists knocks and surface wear during service
• Lightweight at 123g, easy to handle and carry in multiples
• Lining with baking parchment keeps cleaning to a minimum
• Stacks neatly for compact storage between services

There are no installation requirements — these are purely table service items. They are not suitable for oven or hot-hold use. Operators should note that if a liner is not used, cleaning between covers will take longer, particularly with oily or seasoned foods. For venues needing larger sharing portions, a deeper or wider serving vessel may be more appropriate.

These buckets are well suited to gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, burger concepts, and food-to-go operations looking for a practical, consistent tableware solution. They are sold singly, which allows operators to build up quantities gradually or replace items individually.

If you're unsure how many to stock for your covers or whether a different size would suit your menu better, we're happy to talk it through.

This mini metal food bucket from Olympia is a small galvanised steel serving pail designed for presenting individual portions of chips, scampi, chicken strips, and similar casual dining dishes directly at the table. Sold singly, it offers a straightforward way to add an informal, textured look to table service without committing to a full tableware overhaul.

In a busy service environment, pieces like this need to be robust enough to handle repeated handling by front-of-house staff, stacking during reset, and regular wiping down between covers. The galvanised steel construction holds up well to daily service use, and the simple cylindrical form means it nests reasonably when stored in quantity. It is the kind of item that quietly does its job across a long weekend service without drawing attention to itself.

• Works well lined with baking parchment for a clean presentation and easier turnaround between covers
• Suits casual dining menus where informal tableware presentation is part of the look
• Practical for snack portions, bar food, and starter presentations as well as chips
• Lightweight enough for quick table resets without adding to front-of-house workload

There are no installation considerations — this is tableware, requiring only storage space and a cleaning routine. It is worth noting that galvanised steel is not suitable for use in a microwave or dishwasher unless confirmed otherwise, so hand-washing is the safer approach for longevity.

This bucket suits casual dining restaurants, gastropubs, bars serving food, and any operation where informal plating presentation has become part of the brand identity. For operators needing larger portions or a different profile, wider or shallower variants in the same range may be worth considering alongside this piece.

If you are building out a tableware range and want a steer on quantities or mix of sizes for your cover count, our team is happy to talk it through.
