Stainless Steel Serving Trays

This is a full GN 1/1 service tray from APS, made from highly polished 18/10 stainless steel. It sits within the standard gastronorm footprint, making it straightforwardly compatible with most GN-based counters, chafing dish frames, and buffet display equipment in general use across the industry.

In a service environment, consistency of format matters. Because this tray follows the GN 1/1 dimension, it works predictably alongside other GN equipment — whether you're setting up a hot buffet, a cold display, or a simple front-of-house food presentation. The 18/10 stainless construction resists staining and holds up well to regular washing and the general wear of a busy service rotation.

• Sits flush with standard GN counters and chafing frames
• Polished finish presents well on buffet counters and food stations
• Resists staining and discolouration through regular use and washing
• Straightforward to clean by hand or through a commercial glasswasher
• Consistent GN sizing supports smooth stock rotation alongside other trays

At just over a kilogram, the tray is light enough for front-of-house handling without feeling insubstantial. There are no installation requirements — it's a passive piece of smallwares that slots into existing buffet or display setups.

This tray suits hotels, restaurants, event caterers, and contract catering operations running GN-format buffet or display equipment. If you're stocking a larger operation or need deeper or fractional GN sizes, there are other formats worth considering alongside this one.

If you're unsure which tray format works best for your setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This APS rectangular service tray is a straightforward, well-made piece of buffet and front-of-house equipment. Constructed from 18/0 stainless steel, it provides a sturdy, hygienic surface for carrying and presenting food across a wide range of service settings. The chrome-plated handles make it practical to lift and manoeuvre even when loaded, which matters when staff are working quickly during a service period.

In day-to-day use, trays like this earn their place through reliability rather than complexity. The stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated use, commercial dishwashing, and the general wear of a busy kitchen or servery. The 600mm length gives useful carrying capacity without becoming unwieldy — it sits comfortably on a buffet counter or canteen serving line and handles a reasonable spread of dishes or plated items.

Practically speaking, the benefits are straightforward:

• Hygienic, non-porous surface that cleans quickly and thoroughly
• Robust enough for daily commercial use without showing wear quickly
• Handled design reduces strain on staff during repeated lifting
• Consistent, neutral appearance that suits most front-of-house settings
• Stackable profile supports compact storage when not in service

This tray is well suited to hotels, staff canteens, buffet restaurants, and event catering operations. It works equally well as a serving carrier or as a display base on a buffet counter. For sites needing a smaller format for individual covers or a larger surface for high-volume display, alternative sizes within the APS range are worth considering.

If you are equipping a new buffet setup or replacing existing stock and want guidance on quantities or formats for your specific service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This APS rectangular tray is a compact stainless steel piece designed for front-of-house use. At 130x215mm it sits comfortably in one hand, making it well suited to presenting bills, carrying condiments, or delivering small items to a table without the bulk of a full service tray.

Stainless steel construction holds up well in busy hospitality environments. It wipes clean quickly during service, handles regular commercial washing without deteriorating, and won't discolour or rust with normal use. The stackable design keeps storage tidy on a back bar or waiter's station where counter space is typically limited.

Common uses in commercial settings include:

• Bill and card payment presentation at the table
• Carrying small condiment sets or sauces
• Pre-set accompaniments on a buffet or bar counter
• Passing small items between kitchen and pass

There are no installation requirements — this is a straightforward front-of-house accessory. The main practical consideration is matching the tray size to the task. At this footprint it is suited to single covers or small accompaniments rather than multi-item orders, where a larger tray would be more practical.

This size works well for cafes, bistros, bars, and restaurant front-of-house teams who need a neat, durable everyday tray for bill or condiment service. Operations with higher-volume or multi-item carrying requirements may find a larger format tray a better fit for their workflow.

If you're putting together a front-of-house smallwares order and want to check sizing or quantities, the team is happy to help.

This Beaumont round waiter's tray is made from highly polished stainless steel with a mirrored finish, giving it a clean, professional appearance well suited to front-of-house service in bars, hotels, and restaurants. At 355mm in diameter it sits comfortably on one hand, making it practical for carrying drinks or small plates to the table without being unwieldy for service staff.

The raised edge helps keep glassware and tableware secure during movement, which matters during a busy service when staff are navigating a crowded floor. The mirrored surface also makes glassware and presented items look more considered, which is a small but useful detail in environments where presentation is part of the guest experience.

• Polished mirrored finish presents well in formal and cocktail service settings
• Raised edge reduces the risk of items sliding during movement
• Stackable for efficient storage behind the bar or in service stations
• Stainless steel construction wipes down quickly and withstands regular use
• Round format balances well when carrying drinks single-handed

This size works well in bar environments and for canapé or amuse-bouche service. Operations carrying larger food plates or requiring a tray for multiple covers at once may find a larger rectangular format more practical.
