Storage & Gastronorm

This Araven ingredient bin is a 1/3 gastronorm-sized polypropylene container designed for ingredient storage and stock rotation in prep kitchens. The 7-litre capacity sits in a standard 1/3 GN footprint, making it straightforward to integrate into existing cold prep counters, bain maries, or racked storage systems.

The design supports FIFO (First In, First Out) rotation, which helps kitchen teams manage ingredient freshness and reduce waste without relying on labelling alone. Containers can be stacked while still allowing access to the contents below, which keeps prep workflows moving without the need to unstack and restack during service. Colour-coded clips are included, giving teams a practical way to differentiate contents or allergen categories at a glance.

Polypropylene is a practical choice for this application — it handles repeated dishwasher cycles reliably and resists staining from common prep ingredients. At 720g, the bin is light enough to handle easily during busy prep periods.

• FIFO clip system supports first-in, first-out stock rotation
• Stackable with accessible opening when bins are stacked
• Colour-coded clips aid ingredient identification and allergen management
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
• Standard 1/3 GN footprint fits existing gastronorm storage systems

This bin is well suited to prep kitchens of most sizes — from smaller independents through to larger operations running high-volume ingredient throughput. If your site requires a higher-capacity container or a full set of matching sizes across GN fractions, it's worth talking through the options before ordering.

If you're building out or refreshing a prep storage system and want to make sure the sizing works for your setup, the team is happy to help.

The Kilner clip top preserve jar is a straightforward, well-made glass storage jar with an airtight clip top seal. At 350ml it sits in the smaller end of the Kilner range, making it a practical choice for portion-sized condiments, house-made preserves, pickles, or dry ingredient storage rather than bulk quantities.

Kilner jars have been a reliable presence in commercial kitchens for a long time, and the clip top mechanism is a large part of why. The rubber gasket and wire bail closure form a consistent airtight seal without the need for specialist equipment, which keeps prep simple and helps maintain product freshness between service periods. The thick glass construction handles regular handling and washing well, and holds up better than thinner domestic glassware in a busy kitchen environment.

Practically, the 350ml size works well for:

• Table or counter service condiments such as house-made jams or chutneys
• Small-batch dry ingredient or spice storage in prep areas
• Front-of-house presentation of sauces, honey, or infused oils
• Batch pickling and short-term fermentation in smaller kitchens

There are no installation requirements to speak of, though it is worth noting that glass storage of this type is not suitable for hot liquids under pressure or freezer use without checking manufacturer guidance. For operations storing larger quantities, the Kilner range extends to considerably bigger capacities, and a different size may be more appropriate depending on throughput.

This jar suits cafés, small restaurants, delis, and catering operations that want a presentable, reliable glass storage solution without moving to bulk containers. If you are equipping a larger storage setup or need guidance on quantities, the team are happy to help you work out what makes sense.

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.

The Sistema Klip It Plus 2.2Ltr is a clip-seal food storage container made from BPA-free plastic. The hinged locking clips secure the lid firmly in place, helping to keep contents fresh and reducing the risk of spills during refrigerator or shelf storage. It is a compact, lightweight container well suited to prep kitchens, ingredient holding, and leftover storage.

In a working kitchen environment, containers like this tend to see daily use across refrigeration, dry storage, and pass areas. The clip-lock mechanism holds reliably under repeated opening and closing, and the flat-topped lid allows units to be stacked to make efficient use of limited shelf or fridge space — a practical consideration in kitchens where storage is always at a premium.

• Clip-lock lid keeps contents sealed and reduces spillage risk
• Stackable design helps maximise shelf and refrigerator space
• BPA-free plastic construction suitable for food contact use
• Lightweight and easy to handle during busy service periods
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

At this capacity, the container is best suited to smaller portion quantities, sauces, garnishes, or prepped ingredients rather than bulk storage. Kitchens with higher-volume holding requirements may find larger-capacity alternatives more practical for their workflow.

If you are putting together a storage solution across multiple stations or need guidance on matching container sizes to your prep volumes, the team is happy to help.

This is the dedicated lid for Cambro's High Heat 1/4 GN food trays. It is made from a translucent amber plastic that can withstand temperatures from well below freezing up to 190°C, making it suitable for use across the full cold-to-hot chain — from freezer storage through to microwave reheating, steam tables, and hot holding units.

In a working kitchen, these lids are commonly used where food needs to move between temperature zones without a container change. The amber tint is light enough to read tray contents at a glance without removing the lid, which helps with stock rotation and reduces unnecessary handling during service.

• Rated for use in ovens, microwaves, steam tables, and hot holding units
• Translucent amber colour supports quick visual identification of contents
• Integral handle makes removal straightforward even with gloved hands
• Supports HACCP-compliant storage and holding practices
• Fits Cambro High Heat 1/4 GN trays only — not a universal fit

It is worth noting that this lid is designed specifically for Cambro's High Heat GN range. It will not reliably fit standard GN trays from other manufacturers, and it is not interchangeable with Cambro's standard-duty lids. If you are building out a tray system across multiple temperature applications, it is worth confirming that all components are from the same High Heat range to ensure a consistent fit.

Well suited to cook-chill operations, banqueting prep, and any kitchen holding food across multiple service points. If you have questions about building a compatible GN system for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm tray from Matfer Bourgeat, constructed in stainless steel and supplied at a 20mm depth. At that depth it sits at the shallow end of the gastronorm range, making it a practical choice for roasting, finishing, or presenting food where you want good surface contact and minimal liquid pooling rather than deep storage capacity.

In a working kitchen, shallow gastronorm trays like this one earn their keep across a range of tasks — roasting vegetables, caramelising onions, resting proteins, or holding a single layer of product under a salamander or in a low oven. The low sides mean heat reaches the food quickly and evenly, and the full 1/1 footprint gives you a generous working surface across a standard oven shelf or bain marie opening.

Being stainless steel throughout, the tray handles temperature extremes reliably and cleans down quickly between uses — whether that's a rinse through the pass-through or a full dishwasher cycle. Matfer Bourgeat is a well-regarded name in professional catering smallwares, and the construction quality reflects that.

• Straightforward to stack and store when not in use
• Compatible with standard 1/1 GN oven, bain marie, and racking systems
• Shallow profile suits roasting, finishing, and single-layer holding tasks
• Easy to clean and dishwasher safe

If you're working through a larger order of gastronorm equipment or unsure whether this depth is right for the tasks you have in mind, the team is happy to talk it through.

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.

The Kilner 3000ml clip top preserve jar is a large-format glass storage jar with a hinged metal clip and rubber gasket seal. It is designed to keep contents airtight and is commonly used in commercial kitchens for storing dry goods, house-made preserves, pickles, chutneys, and fermented products. The glass construction means contents are immediately visible without opening, which is a practical advantage in a busy kitchen environment.

Glass jars of this type hold up well in day-to-day kitchen use. The clip top mechanism is straightforward to operate and re-seal during service, and the rubber gasket maintains a reliable airtight closure over repeated openings. For operations making preserves or ferments in batches, the 3-litre capacity is a useful working size — large enough to hold a meaningful quantity without becoming impractical to lift and pour from.

• Airtight rubber gasket seal keeps contents fresh and protects against contamination
• Clear glass body allows instant visual identification of contents
• Hinged metal clip provides quick, one-handed access during service
• Glass construction is non-porous, odour-neutral, and easy to clean thoroughly
• Recyclable material supports kitchens reducing single-use plastic storage

There are no particular installation requirements — these jars are freestanding and require only suitable shelf or worktop space. At 1.5kg when empty, the jar is manageable but will be considerably heavier when filled, which is worth bearing in mind for shelving load limits. Glass is inherently more fragile than plastic alternatives, so storage location and handling practices are worth considering in high-traffic areas.

This jar is well suited to small restaurants, cafés, delis, and catering operations that produce their own preserves, condiments, or fermented goods, as well as kitchens looking to move away from plastic dry-goods storage. For sites needing to store significantly larger batch quantities, wider-neck or higher-capacity variants may be worth considering.

If you are fitting out a larder or dry-goods station and want guidance on quantities or sizing, the team is happy to help you think it through.

These APS glass Weck-style jars are small, lidded preserve jars commonly used in commercial kitchens for individual portion presentation. Each jar holds 80ml, making them a practical choice for amuse-bouche, sauces, dressings, mousses, and shot desserts where a clean, consistent presentation is needed across covers.

In a busy service environment, consistency matters. Because each jar is identical in size and shape, plating can be prepared in advance and held until service, which suits kitchens running set menus, tasting menus, or high-volume covers where speed and uniformity are priorities. The glass construction means the contents are clearly visible, which works well for visually layered dishes.

• Glass construction shows dish contents cleanly without discolouration
• Lids included, useful for advance preparation and chilled holding
• Dishwasher safe, reducing handling time between services
• Uniform sizing supports consistent plating across all covers
• Compact footprint suits tight pass and prep bench space

These jars are dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround practical in a high-volume kitchen. Glass does require careful handling in a busy pass environment, and operators running very high covers may want to consider stock levels accordingly to allow for breakages over time.

Well suited to restaurants, bistros, and event caterers looking to add a considered finishing detail to their plating without a significant investment. They work equally well for sauces on a sharing board or individual dessert portions on a tasting menu. If you're looking at larger jar formats for table condiments or sharing portions, other sizes are available in the range.

If you're unsure whether these suit your plating style or service format, we're happy to talk it through.

This is a 1/9 gastronorm food tray from Cambro, moulded in translucent polypropylene to a 100mm depth. It is a straightforward, practical storage and service container used across prep areas, cold storage, and service lines in commercial kitchens of all sizes.

Polypropylene trays of this type are a reliable workhorse in busy operations. The translucent material means staff can identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid, which helps maintain temperature and reduces unnecessary handling during service. The 1/9 size is particularly common in condiment and garnish stations, deli counters, and buffet or carvery setups where space in the pan well is limited.

• Translucent body allows contents to be identified without opening
• Stacks cleanly without wedging or sticking between trays
• Suitable for use from cold storage through to ambient service
• Compatible with standard 1/9 GN lids and frames

It is worth noting that polypropylene trays are rated for cold and ambient use. They are not suited to oven use or steam table hot-holding, so if you need a container that moves from refrigeration directly into a bain-marie or heated unit, a stainless steel GN pan would be the more appropriate choice.

These trays are best suited to operations where frequent changeovers, portion control, and visibility of mise en place matter — hotel breakfast stations, sandwich bars, prep kitchens, and catering companies running buffet or event service are all typical users. For deeper storage or higher-volume prep, a 1/9 tray in a greater depth may be worth considering.

If you are fitting out a prep or service station and want to make sure you have the right combination of sizes and depths, our team are happy to help you work through what you need.

This Araven ingredient bin is a full 1/1 gastronorm polypropylene container designed to hold bulk ingredients at prep and service stations. The open-top format allows kitchen staff to scoop or portion directly from the bin without removing it from a stack, which suits high-turnover prep areas where speed and access matter.

The bin is built around a first-in, first-out rotation system. Stock is loaded from the rear and dispensed from the front, which helps teams maintain correct ingredient rotation without relying on labelling discipline alone. In busy kitchens where staff change frequently or service pressure is high, a bin that enforces rotation mechanically is more reliable than one that depends entirely on procedure.

Practically, the polypropylene construction is robust enough for daily commercial use, resists staining from most food products, and is dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward. Colour-coded clips are supplied, allowing kitchens to assign bins to specific ingredient types or allergen categories — a useful feature where cross-contamination controls are part of the food safety plan.

• Stackable design allows access to contents without unstacking
• FIFO loading supports correct ingredient rotation in service
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-shift cleaning
• Colour-coded clips support allergen segregation systems
• Standard 1/1 GN footprint fits most existing racks and cold drawers

This size is well suited to medium-volume prep operations and standard service lines. For higher-volume sites or walk-in storage where larger batch quantities are handled, it is worth considering whether a greater capacity suits the workflow better.

If you are fitting out a prep station or reviewing your ingredient storage arrangement and want to talk through what works in practice, our team is happy to help.

This pack of four Vogue 1/6 gastronorm trays and matching lids provides a straightforward solution for food preparation, storage, and front-of-house service. The 1/6 GN size fits standard gastronorm frames and bain marie wells, making these trays a practical addition to most commercial kitchens without any special adaptation.

In busy service environments, 1/6 GN trays are commonly used for portioning smaller garnishes, sauces, and accompaniments alongside larger GN containers. The overhanging rim seats securely into buffet stations and preparation units, allowing staff to lift and replace trays quickly during service without disrupting the line. Stainless steel construction resists the warping that can affect plastic alternatives under repeated temperature change, and the reinforced corners help the trays hold up to the routine knocks of a working kitchen.

• Overhanging rim for secure seating in GN frames and buffet stations
• Reinforced corners reduce damage from everyday handling
• Stainless steel resists warping under repeated heating and cooling
• Lids included — no separate purchase required
• Compatible with standard 1/6 GN equipment across most kitchen setups

These trays are well suited to smaller sections, pass counters, and buffet displays where compact containers are preferable to larger GN sizes. They are equally practical in the cold section for mise en place. Being stainless steel, they are also a presentable option if service involves front-of-house display. For operations that need larger capacities or deeper storage trays, other GN sizes and depths are available in the range.

If you are building out a gastronorm setup or want to confirm which sizes and depths will work best across your service sections, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Vogue 2/4 gastronorm tray in 150mm depth is a standard stainless steel container used across a wide range of commercial kitchen tasks. The 2/4 GN format fits into any gastronorm-compatible equipment — combi ovens, refrigeration, blast chillers, bain maries, and buffet units — making it a versatile piece of everyday smallwares stock.

In practice, this tray earns its place through straightforward reliability. The stainless steel construction resists warping when moved quickly between hot and cold environments, which is a common demand in production kitchens working through rapid chilling cycles or high-throughput service. The 150mm depth gives useful volume for wet dishes, portioned proteins, or bulk prep, without being unwieldy in a standard rack or unit.

A few practical reasons this format is commonly kept in quantity:

• Overhanging rim seats cleanly into buffet stations and prep unit rails
• Compatible with standard gastronorm dishwashers for straightforward cleaning
• Handles temperature transfer between appliances without distortion
• Consistent sizing integrates with existing gastronorm-standard kit
• Robust enough for daily rotation in busy kitchen environments

There are no particular installation requirements for a pan of this type, though it is worth confirming the internal dimensions of your specific oven, chiller, or cold well against the 2/4 GN footprint before ordering in volume. Note that a lid is not included and should be ordered separately if needed for storage or transport.

This tray is well suited to mid-sized and larger operations running gastronorm-standardised equipment. Kitchens with lighter usage or smaller storage requirements may find a shallower depth or smaller GN size more practical, while high-volume sites moving large quantities may benefit from a heavier-gauge option.

If you are building out a gastronorm pan stock and want to talk through sizing, depths, and quantities for your setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Araven polypropylene food storage containers are made to the standard 1/2 gastronorm footprint, meaning they sit correctly in gastronorm-compatible fridges, cold wells, and prep table inserts without adjustment. Each container in this pack of four holds 4 litres and is supplied with a fitted lid, a set of colour-coding clips in red, yellow, green, and blue, and a permanent wipe-clean label on the side for contents identification and date marking.

In a working kitchen, the practical value of a consistent colour-coding system is hard to overstate. It reduces the risk of cross-contamination, supports allergen management, and makes food rotation straightforward for any member of the team, regardless of experience. The labelling panel holds well under daily wipe-downs and does not require separate adhesive labels or tape.

• Standard 1/2 GN footprint fits gastronorm-compatible storage and service equipment
• Colour-coding clips support allergen and dietary separation without additional labelling systems
• Polypropylene construction is durable, odour-resistant, and safe for dishwasher use
• Wide operating temperature range suits chilled storage, ambient prep, and gentle reheating
• Supplied as a pack of four — practical for multi-shift or high-turnover prep environments

Polypropylene is a practical choice for general food storage. It is lighter than stainless steel alternatives, less prone to cracking under temperature shock than some other plastics, and straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher. These containers are not intended for high-temperature cooking or direct heat.

This size and format is well suited to prep kitchens, sandwich and deli counters, catering operations, and care home or school kitchens where standardised storage and clear food rotation procedures are required. For sites handling significantly larger prep volumes, deeper or full 1/1 GN containers from the same range may be worth considering.

If you are looking to standardise your food storage across a kitchen or need guidance on quantities for a specific operation, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense.

These are colour-coded, removable food safety labels designed for day-of-the-week rotation systems in commercial kitchens. The Saturday label is printed in orange and is intended to be applied to food containers, gastronorm pans, and storage trays to indicate when food was prepared or when it must be used by. They are supplied in a roll of 500 and are part of a seven-colour system covering each day of the week.

In a busy kitchen, clear date labelling is one of the more straightforward ways to maintain food safety compliance. These labels allow staff to identify preparation dates at a glance without needing to read handwritten notes or decipher unclear markings. The colour-coded system works particularly well in cold rooms and chillers where multiple products from different prep days are stored alongside one another.

• Colour-coded orange for immediate day identification
• Removes cleanly from containers without leaving adhesive residue
• Suitable for gastronorm pans, storage containers, and food trays
• Supplied in a roll format for straightforward dispensing
• Designed to support HACCP and food safety rotation requirements

These labels are a practical addition to any food storage labelling system. They work best when used as part of a complete seven-day set, ensuring consistent colour coding across the full week. Sites with higher labelling volumes may want to consider dispenser units designed to work with this roll format.

If you are setting up or reviewing your kitchen's food safety labelling system and would like some guidance on what works well in practice, the team is happy to help.

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.

This Thunder Group GN1/1 perforated pan is a shallow stainless steel gastronorm pan with a series of drainage holes across the base and sides. At 20mm deep, it sits at the shallow end of the gastronorm range and is designed primarily for tasks where liquid needs to drain away — rinsing, steaming, presenting drained produce, or holding foods that would otherwise sit in standing liquid.

In day-to-day kitchen use, perforated pans at this depth are commonly used as inserts within a bain marie or prep station, sitting above a solid pan to allow drainage while keeping food accessible during service. The shallow profile makes them practical for displaying or holding garnishes, blanched vegetables, or drained proteins without pooling.

Being stainless steel, the pan is straightforward to clean, resistant to staining and odour absorption, and compatible with standard commercial warewashers. The GN1/1 footprint fits directly into the full-range of standard gastronorm-compatible equipment — prep tables, hot cupboards, refrigerated counters, and combi oven trays — without adaptation.

• Compatible with standard GN1/1 gastronorm equipment and racks
• Perforated base and sides allow free drainage during use
• Shallow 20mm depth suits garnish holding, rinsing, and steaming tasks
• Stainless steel construction is hygienic and warewasher safe
• Pairs with a solid GN1/1 pan to form a drain-and-collect configuration

This pan is well suited to kitchens that already work within a gastronorm system and need a reliable perforated insert for prep or service. It is a straightforward, single-purpose piece of smallware rather than a high-complexity item, and the shallow depth suits specific tasks — operators needing general storage or deeper capacity should look at alternative depths within the range.

If you are building out a gastronorm system or are unsure which combination of pans and depths suits your workflow, the team is happy to talk through your requirements.

This is a standard 2/4 GN stainless steel tray from Vogue, 40mm deep. The 2/4 size is a half-width, quarter-length format that fits natively into gastronorm-compatible equipment — including combi ovens, blast chillers, refrigerated prep units, and bain-maries — wherever two such trays sit side by side across a full 2/1 GN width.

In everyday service, trays of this size are workhorses. The 40mm depth makes them practical for portioned foods, garnishes, sauces, and cold prep, without carrying unnecessary bulk. The overhanging rim seats cleanly into buffet stations and countertop inserts, which helps with quick access during busy service periods. Stainless steel construction resists warping when moved rapidly between hot and cold environments — a common requirement in kitchens running blast-chill workflows.

• Overhanging rim seats into standard GN-compatible buffet and prep units
• Stainless steel resists warping and thermal shock in hot-to-cold transfers
• Compatible with combi ovens, blast chillers, refrigeration and bain-maries
• 40mm depth suits portioned foods, sauces, garnishes and cold prep
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning

These trays require no installation and no particular setup. The main practical consideration is confirming that your existing equipment is genuinely GN-compatible — not all units marketed as gastronorm-friendly accept all sizes without checking the internal rail spacing. For kitchens needing greater depth or higher-volume capacity, deeper GN trays or larger formats may be more appropriate.

Well suited to most commercial kitchens as part of a standard GN tray stock — from small café prep operations through to high-turnover restaurant and contract catering environments. Please note that lids are sold separately.

If you're building out a full set of GN trays and want to make sure the sizes and depths are right for your specific equipment, we're happy to help you work through it.

The Thunder Group SLPA8006 is a full-size GN 1/1 solid gastronorm pan, 150mm deep, made from stainless steel. It is a standard workhorse piece of kitchenware designed to fit any GN 1/1-compatible bain-marie, hot cupboard, prep table, blast chiller, or storage racking found in a commercial kitchen.

At 150mm, this pan offers considerably more capacity than a shallower GN pan of the same footprint, making it well suited to storing bulk ingredients, holding cooked product for service, or carrying larger cuts of meat or fish through the prep and chilling cycle. The solid base means it functions equally well as a storage vessel in the fridge or dry store as it does in a heated unit during service.

In practice, a pan at this depth earns its place in kitchens that need to hold meaningful quantities without stacking multiple shallower pans. Common uses include:

• Bulk ambient, chilled, or hot storage within a GN system
• Marinating or brining larger protein portions
• Holding sauces, soups, or stocks during service
• Transporting prepped ingredients between prep and service areas

Being a solid pan rather than a perforated one, there are no drainage considerations to account for. The stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean, withstands repeated dishwasher cycles, and holds up well under daily commercial use without warping or staining under normal conditions.

This pan is a practical choice for most commercial kitchens — restaurants, hotel operations, canteens, and contract catering sites that already run a GN-based system. If your operation demands particularly heavy-gauge pans for high-temperature oven use or very aggressive service volumes, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty specification would better suit your workflow.

If you are building out a GN pan inventory or unsure which depths and configurations suit your service best, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

This is a standard 1/4 gastronorm tray in stainless steel, 40mm deep. It fits any gastronorm-compatible equipment and is used daily across professional kitchens for a wide range of tasks — from oven cooking and blast chilling through to counter service and cold storage.

Stainless steel gastronorm trays at this depth are a staple in busy kitchens precisely because they are uncomplicated and reliable. The 40mm depth suits portioned ingredients, garnishes, sauces, and smaller mise en place items particularly well. Being compatible with standard gastronorm inserts and lids, these trays move easily between preparation areas, storage, and service without any additional handling steps.

• Suitable for oven use, blast chilling, cold storage, and hot service
• Compatible with standard gastronorm frames, counters, and lids
• Stainless steel construction withstands repeated washing and daily handling
• Practical size for portioned prep, garnishes, and smaller service quantities

There are no particular installation requirements for a tray at this size and weight. It is worth considering how many units your operation needs across a full service cycle — kitchens often underestimate the volume required once trays are distributed across prep, service, and washing at the same time.

This tray is well suited to any commercial kitchen using gastronorm-compatible equipment, from small independent restaurants to larger catering operations. If you need greater depth for bulkier ingredients or larger batch preparation, deeper versions of the same footprint are available. If you are building out a full gastronorm system and are unsure which combination of sizes and depths suits your workflow, we are happy to help you work that through.

This is a standard 1/3 gastronorm pan in stainless steel, 100mm deep. It fits any gastronorm-compatible equipment — bain maries, prep units, refrigerated prep tops, hot cupboards, and buffet counters — and is a workhorse item found across most commercial kitchens in the UK.

In service, 1/3 GN pans at this depth are particularly useful where space is tight but volume still matters. The 100mm depth gives a reasonable holding capacity without sitting so deep that it becomes unwieldy during service. The overhanging rim seats cleanly into standard 1/3 cutouts, keeping the pan stable under busy conditions and allowing it to be lifted out quickly without tools or fuss.

Stainless steel construction means the pan handles temperature extremes without warping — moving from a refrigerated unit into a hot bain marie and back again is routine in most kitchens, and this material copes with that reliably. It is also straightforward to clean, either by hand or through a commercial dishwasher.

• Compatible with standard gastronorm frames, bain maries, and prep tops
• Resists warping under repeated temperature changes
• Reinforced corners reduce damage from daily handling and stacking
• Smooth internal surfaces are easy to clean and hygienic
• Suitable for food storage, service, and display

For most operations, 1/3 pans are bought in multiples. If you are fitting out a new station or replacing worn stock, it is worth considering how many you need across different depths — 65mm and 150mm versions are also available in the same range. If you would like guidance on which combination of pan sizes suits your setup, we are happy to help.

This Vogue 1/3 gastronorm pan is a standard stainless steel GN tray in the 40mm depth, designed to fit across the full range of gastronorm-compatible equipment — prep counters, bain maries, refrigerated prep tops, hot holding units, and buffet stations. The 1/3 GN format is one of the most commonly used configurations in commercial kitchens, offering versatility across service styles and kitchen sizes.

In a working kitchen, pans at this depth are well suited to portioned ingredients, garnishes, sauces, and accompaniments — anything that needs to be accessible quickly during service without occupying the space a deeper pan would require. The overhanging rim allows the pan to sit securely in standard GN frames and slots without dropping through, which is particularly useful in buffet display or front-of-house service settings.

Constructed from stainless steel, the pan holds up reliably under daily commercial use — it resists warping at temperature, cleans easily, and doesn't carry the hygiene concerns associated with some plastic alternatives. The reinforced corners help it withstand the knocks and stacking loads typical in a busy kitchen environment.

• Fits standard 1/3 GN compatible equipment and frames
• Suitable for prep, cooking, hot holding, and cold display
• Easy to clean and maintain in a commercial wash cycle
• Presentable enough for front-of-house buffet use
• Stacks efficiently for storage when not in service

This pan suits most commercial operations — cafés, hotels, pub kitchens, and catering companies — where a reliable, everyday GN tray is needed. For operations requiring deeper capacity, 65mm or 100mm variants in the same format are worth considering.

If you're building out a gastronorm system or matching pans to specific equipment, we're happy to talk through what depths and configurations will work best for your setup.

The Sistema Klip It Plus is a straightforward, airtight food storage container designed for everyday use in commercial and catering environments. The four locking clips seal the lid firmly on all sides, keeping stored food fresh and reducing the risk of spillage or cross-contamination during refrigeration or transit.

In a working kitchen, containers like this tend to earn their keep through sheer reliability. They stack neatly, hold a useful volume for prepped ingredients, sauces, and stocks, and are easy to handle when space is tight. The square footprint makes better use of shelf and fridge space than round alternatives, which matters when you're trying to keep a cold room or under-counter fridge organised during a busy service.

• Four-clip locking lid for a consistent airtight seal on all sides
• Square profile maximises shelf and fridge storage efficiency
• Suitable for refrigerated storage of prepped ingredients and batch-cooked items
• Lightweight and easy to handle during prep and service
• Compatible with microwave use for reheating where permitted

There are no complex installation requirements — these containers are ready to use out of the box. It is worth noting that at 5.5 litres, this is a mid-sized container well suited to smaller batch quantities. For sites storing larger volumes of a single ingredient or sauce, a larger-capacity option from the same range may be more practical.

This container is a sensible choice for cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, and food prep operations that need reliable, everyday storage without unnecessary complexity. If you're looking to standardise storage across a kitchen or are unsure which sizes suit your prep volumes, we're happy to help you work it out.

The Thunder Group SLPA8162 is a solid stainless steel gastronorm pan in GN 1/6 format, 65mm deep. It is a straightforward, practical container designed to sit within standard gastronorm-compatible equipment — bain maries, refrigerated prep counters, cold wells, and hot holding units — as part of an organised service line or prep station.

In a working kitchen, GN 1/6 pans at this depth are commonly used for portion-controlled ingredients, sauces, garnishes, and sides where counter space is limited and a narrow footprint is useful. The 65mm depth gives a reasonable holding volume without the pan becoming unwieldy to handle or difficult to clean during a busy service. Stainless steel construction means it handles the temperature transitions common in commercial use — moving from a cold well to a bain marie, or from the pass to the dishwasher — without deteriorating.

• Solid base suits both hot and cold holding applications
• Stainless steel construction withstands repeated commercial use and high-temperature washing
• GN 1/6 format integrates with standard gastronorm-compatible equipment
• 65mm depth balances holding capacity with easy handling during service
• Straightforward to clean and stack, supporting kitchen hygiene routines

There are no special installation requirements — GN 1/6 pans drop into any gastronorm-compatible fitting. It is worth confirming that your existing equipment accepts the 1/6 format, as some older or non-standard units may have different configurations. For high-turnover operations running multiple pans simultaneously, having additional units in rotation is worth considering to allow for washing cycles without disrupting service.

This pan is well suited to any commercial kitchen operating a gastronorm system — from cafés and small restaurants to hotel kitchens and contract catering operations. If you need a shallower or deeper pan, or a different GN fraction to fit a specific counter layout, the team are happy to help you work out what suits your setup best.

This is a stainless steel lid designed to fit Vogue Heavy Duty 1/2 GN trays. It covers the standard half gastronorm format and is made from 304-grade stainless steel throughout.

In a working kitchen, a well-fitted lid does more than simply cover food. It supports consistent holding temperatures during service, protects prepped ingredients during cold storage, and allows trays to be stacked safely in the fridge, blast chiller, or during transit. The 304 stainless steel construction means the lid moves through the same environments as the tray itself — from chilled prep through to reheating — without warping or degrading over time.

Practically, lids like this earn their place by reducing the amount of cling film and disposable covering materials used in prep and storage workflows. Key operational benefits include:

• Protects prepped food during cold storage and transit
• Supports heat retention when holding food at service temperature
• Compatible with blast chilling without material degradation
• Easy to clean and suitable for commercial dishwasher use
• Allows safe stacking of filled trays in storage

There are no installation requirements for a lid at this level. It is a direct fit for Vogue Heavy Duty 1/2 GN trays. If you are standardising your gastronorm system across a kitchen, it is worth confirming that your existing trays are the Vogue Heavy Duty range, as lid fit can vary between manufacturers even within the same nominal GN size.

This lid is well suited to any commercial kitchen using 1/2 GN trays for prep, cold storage, or service — from small independent kitchens to larger operations looking to standardise their gastronorm inventory. Kitchens running high-volume bulk storage may find full 1/1 GN lids or deeper pan formats more practical for certain applications.

If you are building out or standardising a gastronorm system and want to talk through what works in practice, the team is happy to help.

This Vogue set provides a complete day-of-the-week food labelling solution for commercial kitchens. It includes seven rolls of labels — one for each day — each containing 1,000 labels, paired with a stainless steel dispenser. The labels are designed for food date rotation, helping kitchen teams track preparation and use-by dates clearly and consistently across refrigerated and ambient storage.

In busy kitchen environments, clear date labelling is both a practical workflow tool and a food safety requirement. Having a dedicated dispenser mounted or positioned at the prep station makes the process faster and more consistent — staff are less likely to skip labelling when the system is straightforward and accessible. The stainless steel dispenser is robust enough for daily commercial use and easy to wipe down as part of routine cleaning.

• Seven rolls of 1,000 labels cover every day of the week in a single set
• Stainless steel dispenser suits commercial prep environments
• Supports HACCP-compliant date rotation practices
• Labels are removable or dissolvable, leaving containers clean for reuse
• Compact dispenser footprint keeps labelling organised at the point of use

This kit is well suited to any commercial kitchen operating a formal food rotation system — from small independent kitchens to larger operations managing high volumes of prepped food. For sites with multiple prep stations or very high throughput, it is worth considering whether additional dispensers would be practical to avoid bottlenecks at a single labelling point.

If you have questions about which label format suits your storage containers or your HACCP documentation approach, our team is happy to help you choose correctly.

This is a standard 1/3 gastronorm pan in stainless steel from Matfer Bourgeat, sized at 150mm deep. It fits any gastronorm-compatible counter, bain marie, cold well, or storage system that accepts 1/3 GN inserts — a format used across the vast majority of commercial kitchens in the UK and Europe.

At 150mm, this is one of the deeper options in the 1/3 GN range. That makes it more useful for bulk storage of portioned ingredients, sauces, or wet preparations than a shallower pan would be. It holds a practical volume for a container of its footprint, and the depth helps reduce the frequency of top-ups during a busy service. Stainless steel construction means it handles the temperature extremes of blast chilling, hot holding, and direct refrigeration without warping or degrading over time.

• Fits any standard 1/3 GN compatible well, frame, or storage system
• 150mm depth suits bulk prep, sauces, and high-volume ingredient holding
• Stainless steel construction tolerates blast chilling and hot holding
• Smooth interior with no hidden joints — straightforward to clean and sanitise
• Matfer Bourgeat manufacturing to consistent commercial-grade standards

There are no installation requirements — this is a loose insert that drops into existing GN-compatible equipment. The main practical consideration is matching the depth to what your wells or frames accommodate. Some counters and bain maries are designed for shallower pans, so it is worth confirming clearance before ordering in quantity.

This pan suits most commercial kitchen environments: restaurants, contract catering, pub kitchens, and hospitality operations where 1/3 GN storage is already in use. For lighter-volume operations, a shallower depth may be more appropriate; for sites needing larger batch capacity, a 1/2 or full GN pan in the same range may be worth considering.

If you are building out a set of GN inserts and want a steer on which depths and sizes make sense for your specific setup, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Cambro GripLid is a polycarbonate lid designed specifically for 1/3 gastronorm pans. It features a moulded-in polyurethane gasket that forms a firm, secure seal around the rim of the pan, holding the lid in place during transport, storage, and service without any additional fastening.

In a working kitchen, the practical value of a lid that stays put is straightforward. Whether pans are being moved between fridge and service, stacked during prep, or held on a bain-marie station, a lid that seals reliably reduces the risk of spills, cross-contamination, and unnecessary waste. The clear polycarbonate construction allows contents to be identified at a glance without lifting the lid — useful during a busy service when speed matters.

• Secure gasket seal reduces spills during transport and stacking
• Clear lid allows contents to be identified without removing it
• Suitable for use across a wide temperature range, from chilled storage to hot holding
• Polycarbonate construction is robust enough for daily commercial use
• Compatible with commercial dishwashers for straightforward cleaning

There are no complex installation requirements — this is a lid that simply needs to be matched to the correct 1/3 GN pan. It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing pan brand before ordering, as not all gastronorm pans have identical rim profiles.

The GripLid suits kitchens that move pans frequently between stations and need dependable containment across cold and hot applications. For operations with larger-volume storage requirements, wider GN sizes are available in the Cambro range.

If you are standardising your pan and lid stock across a new or refitted kitchen, our team is happy to help you work through what you need.

This is a standard half-size gastronorm pan in 18/10 stainless steel, 150mm deep. It sits within the universal GN system, fitting any compliant bain marie, gastronorm counter, prep unit, or storage rack that accepts a 1/2 GN insert. At 150mm, it offers a useful mid-range depth — deeper than shallow steam table pans, but not so deep as to make retrieval awkward during a busy service.

In day-to-day kitchen use, this pan earns its place through straightforward reliability. Stainless steel handles temperature cycling well — moving from cold storage to a heated counter without warping — and the overhanging rim seats cleanly into standard GN frames, which matters when staff are working quickly. The reinforced corners hold up to the knocks and stacking that come with a working kitchen environment.

Practically, this pan works well across a range of tasks:

• Cold prep and mise en place storage during service
• Bain marie or heated counter inserts for front-of-house buffet or carvery
• Blast chilled ingredient storage between services
• Walk-in refrigerator organisation on GN-compatible racking

Because it follows the standard GN footprint, it integrates with existing equipment without modification. The depth makes it a sensible choice where portion volumes are moderate; kitchens needing shallower inserts for garnishes or deeper capacity for high-volume operations have other sizes to consider within the GN range.

For most kitchens, a pan like this is bought in multiples rather than singles — if you're working out how many you need for a particular setup or service style, the team are happy to help you think it through.

The Vogue 1/2 GN stainless steel pan in the 200mm depth is a straightforward, workhorse piece of gastronorm kit used throughout commercial kitchens for food preparation, storage, service, and transport. Like all standard GN equipment, it fits directly into compatible bain maries, prep counter inserts, refrigerated display units, and gastronorm racks, making it a practical choice wherever GN-format equipment is already in use.

Stainless steel construction holds up reliably under the daily wear of a busy kitchen — resistant to warping under temperature change and far more durable over time than polypropylene alternatives. The overhanging rim seats cleanly across GN frames and slots in bain marie wells without risk of the pan dropping through, which matters during a busy service when you need things to stay where you put them. The 200mm depth gives meaningful capacity for bulk prep items, sauces, and portioned ingredients held through service.

• Standard 1/2 GN footprint fits all compatible bain maries and prep inserts
• Overhanging rim seats securely across GN frames and counter cut-outs
• Stainless steel resists warping, staining, and impact under heavy daily use
• 200mm depth suits bulk ingredient storage, sauces, and portioned prep
• Suitable for oven use, chilling, and front-of-house buffet display

There are no installation requirements — these pans slot into existing GN-format equipment and stack efficiently in storage. The 200mm depth is among the deeper options in the GN range, so it is worth confirming clearance within your bain marie or display unit before ordering, as shallower units may not accommodate the full depth without the rim resting above the intended seating level.

This pan suits most commercial catering environments — hotels, contract caterers, pub kitchens, and school catering operations that already run GN-format equipment. For sites needing shallower pans for lighter prep work or display, shorter-depth options in the same 1/2 GN size are available. For operations running very high-volume service where pan cycling is rapid and heavy, it is worth considering stock levels to avoid service delays between wash cycles.

If you are unsure which depth or GN size is the right fit for your existing equipment, the team is happy to help you work through it.
