£19.65(£23.58 inc VAT)
This polycarbonate lid is designed to fit Vogue's large food storage containers — specifically the 30 litre and 45 litre tub variants. It provides a secure, hygienic cover for stored ingredients, prepped goods, or bulk stock during refrigerated storage or ambient holding.
Polycarbonate is a practical material choice for commercial kitchens. It is more impact-resistant than standard acrylic alternatives, tolerates the knocks of a busy kitchen environment, and remains clear enough to allow visual identification of contents without removing the lid — a small but useful time-saving advantage during a busy service.
- Fits both 30 and 45 litre Vogue food storage containers
- Clear polycarbonate allows contents to be identified without opening
- Helps maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination in storage
- Durable enough to withstand regular handling in commercial environments
- Suitable for use in refrigerated storage and general cold-side prep areas
There are no special installation requirements. It is worth confirming the container size before ordering, as this lid is sized specifically for the large tub format and will not fit smaller variants in the range.
This lid suits most commercial kitchens that already use or are planning to use Vogue's large storage containers — from hotel and restaurant kitchens to contract catering operations. If you are building out a storage system across multiple container sizes, it is worth checking compatibility across the range before ordering in volume.
If you are unsure which lid or container combination is right for your setup, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£1.34(£1.61 inc VAT)
The Cambro FreshPro 473ml container is a small-capacity food storage tub designed for professional kitchen use. Made from polypropylene, it is built to handle the daily demands of a commercial prep environment as a reusable, more sustainable alternative to single-use deli cups and disposable containers.
In a working kitchen, this size is well suited to holding mise en place, spice blends, fresh herbs, sauces, and other small-batch prep items. The translucent body allows quick visual identification of contents at a glance, which helps reduce unnecessary handling during a busy service. Polypropylene construction resists staining, odour retention, and damage from acids, making it a practical choice for ingredients that can degrade lesser materials over time.
- Translucent body allows contents to be identified without opening
- Resistant to staining, acids, and odour absorption
- Reusable construction reduces reliance on single-use disposables
- Suitable for cold storage and dry prep holding
- Uniform square footprint stacks and stores efficiently in prep fridges
The container is rated for use down to -40°C, so it is suitable for freezer storage as well as refrigerated prep holding. It is worth noting that the compatible Easy-Seal cover is sold separately, so factor that in when ordering if a sealed lid is required for your workflow.
This container is a practical choice for any commercial kitchen looking to standardise small-portion prep storage — from restaurant prep sections and hotel kitchens to deli counters and catering operations. For higher-volume storage or larger batch sizes, larger containers in the same range may be more appropriate.
If you are unsure which size or quantity suits your prep setup, the team is happy to help you work that out.
£12.45(£14.94 inc VAT)
This 10-litre square polycarbonate container from Hygiplas is a practical, no-nonsense storage solution for commercial kitchens. Made from clear polycarbonate, it allows contents to be identified at a glance without opening, and the graduated stamped markings on the side allow kitchen staff to measure quantities directly in the container — useful during prep and portion control without reaching for a separate jug or scale.
Polycarbonate is a well-proven material in professional kitchens. It handles the temperature range common in catering use — from freezer storage through to warm holding — and withstands the knocks and stacking pressures of a busy kitchen environment far better than glass or thinner plastics. The textured base helps the container sit securely on work surfaces, reducing the chance of it sliding during service.
Key practical points worth noting:
- Clear walls allow instant visual stock checks without removing lids
- Graduated markings support accurate portioning and reduce waste
- Safe for dishwasher, freezer, and microwave use
- Stackable square profile makes efficient use of fridge and shelf space
- Compatible with colour-coded lids, sold separately, for allergen or ingredient identification
It is worth noting that lids are not included with the container itself — these are sold separately, and colour-coded options are available if your kitchen uses an allergen or ingredient identification system. The square profile stacks and stores more efficiently than round alternatives, which matters when space in a walk-in or prep fridge is limited.
This size is well suited to prep kitchens, sauce stations, and bulk ingredient storage in small to medium operations. For higher-volume sites with larger batch requirements, bigger capacity options are available in the same range. If you are unsure which size or how many containers suit your operation, we are happy to talk it through.
£123.00(£147.60 inc VAT)
The Louis Tellier Japanese container is a compact stainless steel storage unit divided into six individual compartments, designed to keep small ingredients, garnishes, or prep items separated, accessible, and protected during service. It is supplied with a lid, helping to maintain freshness and reduce the risk of cross-contamination between compartments.
In a busy prep or service environment, having a reliable method of organising small mise en place items matters. This container allows kitchen teams to keep multiple ingredients ready to hand without spreading them across the pass or worktop, which supports a tidier, more controlled workflow during peak periods. The stainless steel construction handles the demands of a commercial kitchen without deteriorating under regular cleaning and daily use.
- Six separate compartments keep ingredients divided without additional dishes or ramekins
- Supplied lid reduces contamination risk and helps maintain freshness between services
- Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and durable under daily use
- Compact footprint suits tight prep areas, pass sections, or garnish stations
- Suitable for both cold and ambient ingredient storage during service
There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding, countertop item requiring no electrical, gas, or water connection. It is worth considering how many of these you may need across different stations before ordering, as prep-heavy kitchens often find a single unit is not sufficient to cover all sections.
This container is well suited to smaller operations, cafés, and gastropubs where organised mise en place is important but counter space is limited. Larger kitchens with higher-volume prep requirements may find it more practical alongside additional storage solutions. If you are unsure whether this suits your setup, we are happy to help you think it through.
£15.83(£19.00 inc VAT)
The Vogue 600x400mm plastic transport crate is a straightforward, practical storage and handling solution for commercial kitchens, catering operations, and food production environments. It is constructed from food-safe plastic with an attached interlocking lid, making it suitable for moving or storing ingredients, dry goods, and general kitchen supplies without the need for a separate cover.
In day-to-day kitchen use, crates like this tend to earn their place through sheer reliability. The attached lid means there is no loose cover to misplace during a busy service, and the interlocking design allows units to be stacked securely whether the lid is open or closed — a practical detail when floor and shelf space is at a premium. Built-in handles give a firm grip when lifting, which matters when the crate is loaded to its 20kg capacity.
- Food-safe plastic construction suitable for direct food contact storage
- Attached interlocking lid eliminates loose covers during service
- Stackable whether lid is open or closed, saving storage space
- Integrated handles for secure lifting when fully loaded
- Wipe-clean surface supports straightforward sanitisation routines
There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone handling and storage item. It is worth considering the 320mm height when assessing shelf clearance in racking systems, and confirming that your storage configuration can accommodate the 600x400mm footprint before ordering in volume.
This crate is well suited to kitchens, bakeries, delis, and catering operations that need a reliable, hygienic container for moving goods around a site or storing produce between services. For operations handling heavier loads or requiring more robust transit protection, it is worth exploring heavier-duty alternatives within the range.
If you are unsure how many units you need or whether this size fits your racking, we are happy to talk it through.
£12.54(£15.05 inc VAT)
The OXO Good Grips POP Container is a compact, square-format food storage container designed for keeping dry and ambient ingredients fresh in a commercial kitchen environment. The lid incorporates a silicone seal that compresses when pushed to create an airtight closure, helping to maintain the condition of stored contents between service periods.
The clear ABS body means staff can check stock levels at a glance without opening the container, which is a practical advantage in a busy prep station where speed and clarity matter. The square footprint makes it straightforward to stack and organise on shelving, reducing wasted space compared with round alternatives.
For day-to-day kitchen use, the main practical advantages are:
- Airtight silicone lid seal locks in freshness and reduces waste
- Clear body allows quick visual stock checks without opening
- Square footprint stacks neatly and uses shelf space efficiently
- ABS construction is easy to wipe down and holds up to regular handling
- Compact size suits portion-controlled or lower-volume ingredient storage
Being a relatively small-capacity container, this unit is best suited to storing herbs, spices, condiments, or other ingredients used in modest quantities. It is not intended for bulk storage of high-turnover items — for those applications, a larger-format container from the same range would be more appropriate.
If you are looking to standardise storage across a prep kitchen or are unsure which sizes best suit your workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£42.93(£51.52 inc VAT)
The Scaritech 40Ltr Universal Stackable Container is a straightforward, heavy-duty storage tub designed for bulk dry ingredient storage in professional kitchens and bakery environments. Made from polypropylene, it is built to handle the day-to-day demands of commercial food storage without cracking or deforming under load.
In practice, containers like this tend to earn their place quickly. Whether it is flour, sugar, rice, pulses, or other bulk goods, having a reliable stack of clearly identifiable tubs with tight-fitting lids keeps prep areas organised and helps reduce cross-contamination risk. The stackable design means you can make practical use of vertical storage space, which is valuable in most working kitchens.
- Polypropylene construction resists impact, moisture, and food odours
- Stackable profile makes efficient use of dry store or walk-in shelving
- Smooth interior surfaces simplify cleaning and reduce residue build-up
- Suitable for a wide range of dry goods, flours, and bulk ingredients
- Consistent sizing supports organised, FIFO-compatible storage systems
There are no installation requirements — these containers are ready to use straight from delivery. They are appropriate for any kitchen size, from small independent operations through to high-volume production kitchens, and are well suited to central production units and bakeries where large quantities of dry goods need to be held in rotation. If your operation runs through very high volumes and needs significantly larger capacity, larger-format containers are available in the range.
If you are unsure how many containers suit your storage layout or whether this size is the right fit for your ingredient quantities, we are happy to talk it through.
£9.80(£11.76 inc VAT)
The Rubbermaid Brute snap-on lid is designed specifically to fit the round Brute waste container in the 37.9-litre size. Made from polyethylene, it clips securely onto the container to keep waste contained between collections, helping to control odours and reduce the risk of spillage or pest access in kitchen and back-of-house environments.
In a working kitchen, an uncovered waste bin is a hygiene and compliance risk. This lid provides a straightforward solution — it seats firmly on the container without requiring tools or complicated fitment, and can be removed and replaced quickly during busy service periods when speed matters. The polyethylene construction is easy to wipe down and holds up well to the conditions typical in a commercial kitchen.
- Keeps waste contained and reduces odours between collections
- Quick to fit and remove during service without disrupting workflow
- Compatible with the Rubbermaid Brute 37.9Ltr round grey container
- Polyethylene construction is easy to clean and resistant to everyday wear
- Supports kitchen hygiene standards by limiting open waste exposure
It is worth confirming that the container you have is the round Brute in the matching grey 37.9-litre size before ordering — the Brute range spans several capacities and shapes, and lids are not interchangeable across sizes. This lid is sold separately from the container.
This lid suits any commercial kitchen, food prep area, or back-of-house space already using the matching Brute container. If you are setting up a complete waste management solution or are unsure which container and lid combination is right for your site, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£52.09(£62.51 inc VAT)
The Araven 40-litre food storage container is a large-capacity polypropylene box designed for bulk ingredient storage in commercial kitchens. It comes supplied with a secure lid and two sets of four colour-coded clips — in red, yellow, green and blue — allowing kitchens to implement allergen or food-type separation as part of their food safety regime.
Polypropylene construction makes these containers robust enough for daily service use. They withstand temperatures down to -40°C, so they're equally suited to blast chiller and deep-freeze environments as they are to standard cold room or walk-in fridge storage. The containers nest and stack securely, which matters in kitchens where storage space is tight and boxes are handled frequently during busy service periods.
In practical terms, a container of this size is well suited to storing prep ingredients in volume — portioned proteins, marinades, stock, prepared vegetables, or dry goods in high-turnover operations. The colour-clip system is a straightforward way to support HACCP-compliant separation without adding complexity to the workflow.
- Stacks and nests to make the most of limited cold storage space
- Colour-coded clips support allergen and food-type separation
- Freezer-safe construction for use across the full cold chain
- Lid included as standard, keeping contents protected during storage
- Smooth polypropylene surfaces clean down quickly between uses
For kitchens with lower prep volumes or more limited storage space, smaller-capacity containers in the same Araven range offer the same clip system and material quality. This 40-litre size is best suited to high-volume prep kitchens, central production units, or any operation storing large batches as part of a cook-chill process.
If you're not sure which size or how many containers fits your operation's storage layout, our team is happy to help you work it out.
£48.23(£57.88 inc VAT)
The Luminarc Empilable bowls are 230mm tempered glass bowls supplied with matching lids, sold in a pack of six. Made from shock and chip-resistant glass, they are designed to handle the routine demands of a busy kitchen — from prepping and portioning through to storing, reheating, and presenting accompaniments or side dishes at the pass.
In practical terms, tempered glass holds up better than standard glass under everyday commercial use, and the lidded design keeps prepped ingredients covered and protected in a shared refrigerator or on a busy prep bench. Because the bowls are stackable, they store efficiently without taking up disproportionate shelf space.
- Dishwasher safe, which simplifies the end-of-service cleaning routine
- Microwave safe, making them useful for reheating without transferring to separate vessels
- Stackable design keeps storage tidy in confined prep areas
- Tempered glass resists everyday knocks and chips better than standard glass
- Lidded to keep prepped ingredients covered during service or refrigerated storage
These bowls are best suited to operations that need a presentable, practical vessel for prep, portioning, or front-of-house use with condiments and accompaniments. They are a sensible choice for smaller operations, cafés, or as supplementary bowls in larger kitchens. For sites with very high throughput or heavy-duty storage requirements, a more robust plastic or stainless steel alternative may be worth considering alongside these.
If you are unsure whether these suit your specific service style or volume, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£60.56(£72.67 inc VAT)
These 1000ml polypropylene containers from Fiesta are a practical, no-fuss solution for portion packaging, food storage, and food-to-go service. Each container comes with a secure snap-on lid and is made from recyclable polypropylene, making them suitable for operations looking to reduce single-use waste without compromising on functionality.
In a busy kitchen environment, containers like these need to perform reliably across a range of tasks — from pre-portioned meal prep and fridge storage through to customer-facing takeaway packaging. The 1000ml capacity is well suited to main meal portions, pasta dishes, rice, stews, and similar volume servings. Being microwave-safe, they allow customers to reheat directly in the container, which is a practical advantage for delivery and click-and-collect operations.
- Snap-on lids reduce spillage risk during transit and storage
- Freezer-safe for bulk meal prep and advance portioning
- Microwavable, supporting customer reheating without decanting
- Recyclable polypropylene construction for responsible disposal
- Sold in a pack of 250, suitable for moderate to high-volume sites
It is worth considering that while polypropylene is durable for its category, these are designed as single or limited-use food packaging rather than long-term reusable storage. For operations with very high daily output, stock levels and storage space for a pack of 250 should be planned accordingly. They are not suitable for oven or conventional grill use.
These containers are a good fit for takeaways, cafés, meal prep businesses, and catering operations that package food for delivery or collection. For sites with lower throughput, smaller pack sizes may be more practical to manage stock rotation effectively.
If you are unsure whether this size or pack quantity is the right fit for your operation, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£15.81(£18.97 inc VAT)
The Araven 9-litre food storage container is a straightforward, practical storage solution designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. Made from plastic and semi-clear in finish, it allows contents to be identified at a glance without needing to remove the lid — a small but useful detail when working through a busy fridge or walk-in at speed. The lid fits securely to help maintain freshness and reduce the risk of cross-contamination during storage.
In a working kitchen environment, containers like this tend to earn their keep in prep and cold storage. The 9-litre capacity is a practical mid-range size — large enough to hold a meaningful volume of prepped ingredients, sauces, or portioned product, without being unwieldy to handle, stack, or store. The lightweight construction keeps handling straightforward for kitchen staff across a full service shift.
- Semi-clear body allows quick visual identification of contents
- Secure-fitting lid helps maintain hygiene and freshness during refrigerated storage
- Practical size for batch prep, portioning, and ingredient storage
- Lightweight and easy to handle during busy service periods
- Stackable profile supports efficient use of fridge and shelf space
There are no complex installation requirements — these containers simply need suitable shelf or refrigeration space. They are compatible with standard commercial refrigeration units, though operators should confirm compatibility with any blast chiller or specialist cold storage if the containers are to be used directly within those environments.
This container is well suited to catering operations of most sizes, from small independent kitchens to larger sites needing reliable, cost-effective storage across multiple stations. For operations handling very large batch volumes, higher-capacity containers may be worth considering. If you are unsure which size or range best fits your workflow, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£5.34(£6.41 inc VAT)
The Sistema rectangular microwave bowl is a straightforward food storage and reheating container made from durable, BPA-free plastic. It is designed for everyday use in environments where food is prepared in advance, stored, and reheated to order — a common workflow in staff canteens, café prep areas, and smaller commercial kitchens.
The container uses a rubberised seal and quick-release locking clips to maintain an airtight closure during storage, which helps reduce spoilage and supports basic food hygiene practices. A pressure-release steam vent in the lid allows safe microwaving without the need to remove the lid first, reducing the risk of burns and mess during service. The moulded lift handles on the lid make it practical to handle the container when hot.
From a practical standpoint, this container suits operations that rely on batch cooking and refrigerated or frozen storage. It moves directly from freezer to microwave without requiring a transfer vessel, which saves time during busy service periods.
- Locking clips and rubberised seal retain freshness during refrigerated storage
- Pressure-release vent allows microwave reheating with the lid in place
- Moulded lid handles allow safe handling when the container is hot
- Freezer-safe construction supports batch cook and freeze workflows
- BPA-free and lead-free plastic throughout
This is a single-unit item suited to light-use prep and storage environments rather than high-volume bulk production. For operations requiring larger capacities or stackable gastronorm-compatible storage, it is worth considering whether a different format would better suit your workflow.
If you are unsure whether this fits your storage or reheating setup, we are happy to point you in the right direction.
£137.00(£164.40 inc VAT)
The Araven 90-litre container is a large-capacity, wheeled food storage box designed for bulk ingredient storage and movement within commercial kitchens. It includes a built-in ventilation system, an integrated opening mechanism, and comes supplied with four pairs of colour-coded identification clips in red, yellow, green, and blue.
In a working kitchen, a container of this size is typically used for dry goods, bulk produce, or batched prepared ingredients that need to travel between walk-in stores, prep areas, and service points. The wheeled base removes the need to lift a fully loaded container, which is a practical consideration when staff are moving at pace during busy service. The ventilation supports airflow for goods that benefit from it, and the colour clip system provides a straightforward way to apply allergen segregation or FIFO rotation coding without relying on separate labels.
- Colour-coded clips support allergen management and stock rotation
- Wheeled base allows repositioning without lifting when fully loaded
- Built-in ventilation maintains airflow for appropriate stored goods
- Integrated opening system allows access without removing the lid entirely
- Robust construction suited to repeated daily use in high-throughput storage environments
At 90 litres, this container is best suited to medium- and high-volume operations with genuine bulk storage demands — contract catering, schools, event kitchens, and central production units being typical examples. For smaller kitchens where day-to-day handling is a priority, a smaller capacity in the same Araven range may be more practical. For very high-volume sites with more intensive storage requirements, it is worth discussing whether a broader storage system would serve better.
If you would like to talk through whether this container fits your current storage setup, the team is glad to help.
£8.78(£10.54 inc VAT)
This polycarbonate lid is designed to fit Vogue's 12-litre and 18-litre storage containers, providing a secure cover for ingredients, stocks, sauces, and prepped goods during refrigeration, transport between sections, or holding on the pass.
Polycarbonate is a practical choice for busy kitchen environments. It handles the knocks and stacking pressures of a working kitchen far better than cheaper alternatives, and unlike stainless lids it allows staff to see the contents at a glance — useful when time is short and labelling isn't always consistent. It's also dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround quick during service.
- Clear polycarbonate allows contents to be identified without removing the lid
- Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between services
- Secure fit reduces spillage risk during fridge stacking and transit
- Durable enough for regular commercial kitchen use
- Lightweight at 490g, easy to handle during busy service periods
There's nothing complex to consider from an installation standpoint — these lids drop straight into existing workflows wherever Vogue 12L or 18L containers are already in use. If you're building out a storage system from scratch, it's worth confirming container sizes before ordering lids separately, as compatibility is specific to those two capacities.
This lid suits most types of catering operation — from small cafés through to large contract catering kitchens. Operators running higher volumes with larger container formats will find alternative lid sizes in the Vogue range better suited to their needs.
If you're unsure which container and lid combination is right for your storage setup, we're happy to help you work through it.
From £1.23(£1.48 inc VAT)
This is the large lid designed to fit the Hygiplas range of square food storage containers, specifically the 10 and 15 litre sizes. It is a straightforward, practical component — not a standalone product — and is intended to keep stored food covered, protected, and correctly identified throughout a busy service operation.
The lids are colour-coded, which is where their real value lies in a working kitchen. Rather than relying on labels or memory, staff can identify the contents and food category at a glance, which supports allergen management and helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination during prep and storage. The colour conventions broadly follow established food safety guidance: yellow for cooked meats, brown for vegetables, and purple for allergenic ingredients, with blue, green, red, and white also available for other food groups.
- Fits Hygiplas 10 and 15 litre square containers
- Available in seven colours for food-type and allergen separation
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning and turnaround
- Freezer safe for chilled and frozen storage use
- Supports colour-coded food safety systems in line with kitchen protocols
These lids are well suited to any commercial kitchen already using the Hygiplas square container system, from small independent kitchens to larger prep and production operations. If you are building out a full colour-coded storage setup and are unsure which colours to assign to which food groups, the team is happy to advise based on your specific operation.
£15.29(£18.35 inc VAT)
This is the purpose-made lid for the Rubbermaid Brute 75.7-litre container, designed to fit securely and keep contents covered during storage, transport, or waste handling. Made from polyethylene, it is a practical, no-frills component that pairs with the corresponding Brute bin to complete a reliable storage or waste management setup.
In a working kitchen environment, a well-fitting lid matters more than it might initially seem. Whether the container is being used for dry ingredient storage, waste collection, or bulk food prep, keeping the lid in place reduces contamination risk, contains odours, and helps maintain basic hygiene standards between service periods. The Brute range is widely used across catering operations precisely because the containers and lids hold up under daily commercial use without warping or cracking.
Practically speaking, this lid is a replacement or additional component rather than a standalone purchase — it is intended for use with the matching 75.7-litre Brute container. If you are building out a storage or waste system and need multiple units, it is worth confirming you have the correct container size before ordering lids in quantity.
If you are unsure which Brute container or lid configuration suits your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£7.78(£9.34 inc VAT)
This square polycarbonate storage container from Hygiplas is a practical, no-fuss solution for storing sauces, dressings, stocks, and other high-turnover prep items in a busy commercial kitchen. The square profile makes efficient use of fridge and shelf space compared to round alternatives, and the transparency of the polycarbonate body means contents are identifiable at a glance without opening the lid.
Polycarbonate is a well-established material choice in professional kitchens — it handles the knocks and stacking pressures of a working service environment considerably better than standard food-grade plastics, and it holds up reliably across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for moving between cold storage and warmer prep areas. The graduated markings stamped into the container allow kitchen staff to portion and measure without reaching for a separate jug, which helps maintain pace during a busy service.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Stamped graduated measures allow quick portioning directly from the container
- Textured base reduces the risk of the container sliding on smooth prep surfaces
- Transparent polycarbonate allows at-a-glance stock checks without opening
- Square footprint stacks and stores more efficiently than round containers
- Compatible with colour-coded lids, sold separately, to support allergen and food-type separation
The lids are sold separately, which is worth factoring into an initial order — particularly if you intend to use colour-coding as part of your allergen management system. The container is dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward in a high-volume environment.
This size works well for prep and service use in most kitchen types. For operations requiring significantly larger batch storage, larger-capacity containers in the same range are available. If you are building out a storage system or need guidance on quantities and sizing for your operation, the team is happy to assist.
£42.45(£50.94 inc VAT)
The Matfer Bourgeat Soft Modulus range is a practical polypropylene food storage solution designed for everyday use in professional kitchens. These 2 litre containers come supplied with lids as a pack of six, making them well suited to stocking up prep areas, cold rooms, and service fridges without repeated individual purchases.
Polypropylene construction means these boxes hold up well under the routine demands of a busy kitchen — stacking in the fridge, movement between stations, and repeated washing. The transparent lid allows staff to identify contents at a glance without lifting or labelling, which keeps service moving during busy periods. The hermetic seal helps protect stored food from cross-contamination and moisture loss, which matters in cold storage environments where product quality needs to be maintained over time.
- Transparent lid for quick visual identification of stored contents
- Hermetically sealed to protect food in fridge and freezer storage
- Microwave-compatible for flexible use across kitchen workflows
- Compact form factor suits tight shelf space in smaller cold rooms
- Supplied as a pack of six with lids for consistent station stocking
These containers are microwave-compatible, which adds practical flexibility — portions can be transferred from cold storage to heating without decanting into separate vessels, saving time and reducing washing up. The 2 litre capacity is suited to portioned ingredients, sauces, stocks, and prep items rather than large-batch storage, so they sit comfortably alongside GN containers in a mixed storage setup rather than replacing them.
If you're looking to standardise storage across multiple stations or need to consider larger-batch options alongside these, our team is happy to help you work out the right mix.
£109.01(£130.81 inc VAT)
This is a large-format polypropylene food storage container from Araven, designed for bulk ingredient storage in commercial kitchens. At 70 litres it sits at the larger end of the Araven range, and at this size the container is fitted with wheels — a practical detail that makes a meaningful difference when you are moving it between a walk-in refrigerator, a dry store, and a prep station across a busy shift.
In practice, containers of this size are commonly used for bulk dry goods, prepped vegetables, marinated proteins, or batch items held ahead of service. The wheeled base reduces manual handling and the risk of spillage during those movements, which matters when the container is fully loaded. The built-in ventilation is integrated into the design rather than added as a separate component, and the lid system is straightforward to open and reseal during service.
The container comes supplied with four pairs of colour-coded identification clips in red, yellow, green, and blue. In a working kitchen, these support allergen management and food rotation procedures by allowing teams to identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid. Each colour can be assigned consistently to a food group or storage category, which is a small but genuinely useful detail in fast-moving prep environments.
- Colour-coded clips aid allergen separation and food labelling protocols
- Wheeled base reduces manual handling across multiple storage areas
- Built-in ventilation integrated into the lid design
- Stackable format supports efficient use of cold or dry storage space
- Smooth internal surfaces make cleaning between uses straightforward
This container suits medium to large operations with significant batch preparation or bulk storage requirements. Kitchens with lighter storage needs, or those with limited floor space, may find a smaller capacity from the same range a better fit. If you are working through your storage layout or allergen workflow and want a second opinion, we are happy to help before you commit.
£27.04(£32.45 inc VAT)
The Rubbermaid Brute container is a straightforward, heavy-duty storage tub made from solid polyethylene. It is widely used in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and back-of-house operations for bulk ingredient storage, waste collection, and general materials handling. The white finish is practical for environments where colour-coded storage or visual cleanliness checks are part of daily hygiene routines.
Polyethylene construction means the container resists chipping, cracking, and denting under the kind of daily rough handling that lighter tubs do not survive for long. It holds a substantial static load, making it a reliable choice for dense ingredients such as flour, sugar, or rice where weight quickly adds up. The Brute range is a staple in professional kitchens precisely because it holds up over years of continuous use without becoming brittle or discoloured.
- Resists chipping and denting under heavy daily use
- Suitable for bulk dry goods, wet waste, and general back-of-house storage
- Compatible with Brute dollies for easier movement of heavy loads
- Sliding lids available separately for one-handed access during busy service
- White finish supports colour-coded hygiene systems
At 37.9 litres this is a practical mid-size option. It is large enough for meaningful batch storage but manageable enough to handle without mechanical assistance. For kitchens moving significantly heavier or larger volumes, larger Brute containers in 75 and 121 litre capacities are available, and the heavy-duty Brute dolly is compatible with those larger sizes to aid movement across kitchen floors.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your storage setup or whether a dolly or lid accessory would be worth including, the team is happy to talk it through.
£0.66(£0.79 inc VAT)
This is the replacement or additional lid for the Vogue 7.5 litre round food storage container. Made from polypropylene, it fits securely to keep stored food covered during refrigeration or freezing, and is the correct match for operators already using the corresponding Vogue round tub in their kitchen.
Polypropylene is a practical choice for food storage lids in commercial kitchens. It handles the temperature changes that come with moving product between prep areas, fridges, and freezers without warping or becoming brittle over time. In busy kitchens where storage containers are handled frequently and stacked in cold rooms, that resistance to distortion matters — a lid that no longer sits flush is a hygiene risk as much as an inconvenience.
- Freezer-safe construction for cold storage and blast-chilled product
- Polypropylene resists warping under repeated temperature cycling
- Secure fit helps maintain freshness and reduces cross-contamination risk
- Lightweight and easy to handle during high-volume prep and service
It is worth confirming that your existing containers are the Vogue 7.5 litre round tubs before ordering, as lids are not interchangeable across different capacities or container ranges. If you are building out a storage system from scratch, it is worth considering which container sizes best suit your prep and portioning workflow before committing to quantities.
If you are unsure which lid or container combination suits your operation, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£35.99(£43.19 inc VAT)
This is a large-format polycarbonate storage container from Vogue, designed for bulk ingredient storage, prep holding, and general kitchen organisation. At 30 litres it sits at the larger end of the standard container range — practical for storing dry goods, marinated proteins, prepped vegetables, or bulk liquids during service preparation.
Polycarbonate is the material of choice in most commercial kitchens for this type of container. It is impact-resistant, transparent for easy contents identification, and tolerates a wide temperature range — making it suitable for both refrigerated storage and ambient use. It is lighter than equivalent stainless steel containers, which matters when staff are moving full containers regularly through a busy kitchen.
- Transparent walls allow contents to be identified at a glance without opening
- Stackable design helps make efficient use of fridge, shelf, and rack space
- Dishwasher safe, reducing cleaning time between service periods
- Suitable for cold storage and ambient use across a wide temperature range
- Lightweight build reduces handling strain during high-volume prep
Worth noting: polycarbonate containers are not suitable for use in ovens or direct heat applications — they are storage and cold-holding tools. If your operation requires containers that move directly from freezer to hot-holding, gastronorm-compatible stainless options may be more appropriate. For sites with very high-volume storage needs, smaller containers across multiple units often work better than fewer large ones, as full 30-litre containers are heavy when loaded.
This container suits most commercial kitchens — from pub kitchens and cafés through to larger contract catering and central production units. Sites with lighter storage demands may find a smaller capacity in the same range more practical day to day.
If you are unsure which size or format best suits your prep workflow or refrigeration setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£17.41(£20.89 inc VAT)
This Vogue polycarbonate food container provides a straightforward, reliable storage solution for commercial kitchens. Made from polycarbonate, it handles a wide temperature range — suitable for use from frozen storage through to hot holding environments — making it versatile enough to move between the freezer, the pass, and the dishwasher without issue.
In day-to-day kitchen use, polycarbonate containers like this one tend to earn their place through sheer practicality. They are lighter than stainless steel alternatives, which matters when staff are handling multiple containers during a busy service or restocking a walk-in. The material is resistant to cracking and chipping under normal kitchen conditions and holds up well to repeated dishwasher cycles.
- Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue during busy service
- Stackable design makes efficient use of shelf and fridge space
- Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between services
- Suitable for cold storage and ambient use
- Smooth interior surfaces make cleaning straightforward
There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone storage item that fits into existing shelving, refrigeration, or dry store setups. It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, is not intended for direct oven or microwave use, and sharp utensils will mark the surface over time. For operations that need to transfer containers directly from freezer to oven, a gastronorm-compatible alternative in a different material may be more appropriate.
This container is well suited to smaller kitchens, cafés, delis, and prep areas where practical, everyday food storage is the priority. Sites running higher volumes with greater stacking demands may benefit from looking at a heavier-duty storage range.
If you are unsure whether this size fits your prep workflow or want to discuss building out a complete storage setup, the team is happy to help.
£12.31(£14.77 inc VAT)
This is the purpose-made lid for the Rubbermaid Brute 37.9-litre container, designed to fit securely and keep contents covered during storage, transport, or waste handling. Made from polyethylene, it is a practical, no-fuss accessory that completes the Brute container system.
In a working kitchen, a well-fitting lid makes a real difference. Whether the container is being used for dry ingredient storage, soaking, or collecting kitchen waste, a secure cover reduces contamination risk, contains odours, and helps maintain basic food hygiene standards. The lightweight construction means it does not add unnecessary bulk when stacking or moving containers during a busy service.
- Keeps stored contents protected from airborne contamination
- Helps contain odours when used with waste containers
- Lightweight polyethylene construction is easy to handle and clean
- Designed specifically to fit the Rubbermaid Brute 37.9Ltr container
- Suitable for food storage, waste, and general kitchen use
This lid is a replacement or additional cover for the corresponding Brute container. It is worth confirming the container size before ordering, as Rubbermaid Brute lids are sized to match specific container capacities and are not interchangeable across the range.
If you are putting together a storage or waste-handling setup and are unsure which container and lid combination suits your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£3.86(£4.63 inc VAT)
This is a pack of five polypropylene covers sized at 80mm, designed to sit over compatible containers to protect stored contents. Polypropylene is a practical material choice for catering environments — it is food-safe, resistant to moisture, and easy to wipe clean. Covers of this type are commonly used in prep areas, cold rooms, and service pass environments where keeping stored food protected between service periods is a routine requirement.
In day-to-day kitchen use, small covers like these are easily overlooked until they go missing. Buying in a pack of five means you have spares to hand, which is a practical consideration in any busy kitchen where items get displaced or damaged over time. The lightweight polypropylene construction keeps handling straightforward, and the material holds up well to regular washing.
- Food-safe polypropylene construction, easy to clean and maintain
- Protects stored food containers between and during service periods
- Lightweight and simple to handle in busy prep environments
- Supplied as a pack of five, providing useful spares cover
These covers are best suited to operations already using compatible 80mm containers. If you are unsure whether these will fit your existing storage setup, or if you need covers in other sizes, the team is happy to help you identify the right option.
£27.04(£32.45 inc VAT)
The Rubbermaid Brute is a heavy-duty polyethylene utility container widely used in commercial kitchens, back-of-house areas, and food service environments for waste collection, bulk storage, and general materials handling. At 37.9 litres, it sits in a practical mid-range capacity that makes it useful across a variety of day-to-day tasks without becoming unwieldy to move or empty.
In a busy kitchen environment, containers like this take considerable punishment — repeated filling, dragging across wet floors, contact with food waste, cleaning chemicals, and frequent handling by multiple staff members. The Brute range has a long-standing reputation for holding up under that kind of daily use. The polyethylene construction resists cracking and is straightforward to clean down at the end of service.
Built-in handles are integrated into the rim design, which makes lifting and tipping more secure even when hands are wet or gloved. Key practical points include:
- Integrated handles for controlled, non-slip lifting
- Compatible with a mobile dolly for easier movement around the kitchen
- Polyethylene construction is resistant to denting, cracking, and common cleaning agents
- Smooth interior walls make cleaning quick and thorough
- Lids available separately for covered waste or storage applications
The container is suitable for use standalone or in combination with the Rubbermaid dolly base and lid accessories, both of which are sold separately. If you intend to use it as a mobile waste station or for transporting bulk ingredients, the dolly is worth considering at the point of purchase to avoid a second order.
This size works well in smaller operations or as a secondary container in larger kitchens. For sites generating higher volumes of waste or needing greater capacity in a single container, a larger format within the Brute range may be more appropriate.
If you're unsure which size or configuration suits your setup, the team is happy to talk it through.
£22.36(£26.83 inc VAT)
This is a replacement or additional lid designed specifically for use with the Scaritech 40Ltr stackable storage container. Made from polypropylene, it fits securely to keep contents protected during storage — whether that is dry ingredients, prepped vegetables, marinades, or other kitchen prep items.
In a working kitchen, having properly fitted lids matters more than it might seem. Uncovered containers in a walk-in fridge or dry store are a hygiene risk and invite cross-contamination. A well-fitting lid also helps preserve the condition of prepped ingredients between service periods, reducing unnecessary waste.
- Fits the Scaritech 40Ltr stackable container directly
- Polypropylene construction — durable and straightforward to clean
- Helps maintain hygiene standards in cold storage and dry store areas
- Supports stacking when containers are in use without lids beneath
This lid is a practical addition for kitchens that use the matching containers as part of their storage system. It is worth noting there is no commercial warranty included with this product, which is fairly standard for basic smallwares of this type.
If you are building out a container and lid system and are unsure which sizes or quantities suit your prep volumes, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£20.59(£24.71 inc VAT)
This is the dedicated lid for the Rubbermaid Brute 121Ltr round container, designed to sit securely on the bin and keep contents covered during service and storage. Manufactured from polyethylene, it is a straightforward, durable component that completes the Brute container system rather than a standalone product.
In commercial kitchen and back-of-house environments, keeping large waste or storage bins properly covered is a basic hygiene requirement. A well-fitted lid reduces odour spread, limits pest access, and helps kitchens meet environmental health expectations around waste containment. The Brute range is widely used in catering operations precisely because the components are robust enough to withstand the knocks and daily handling that come with a working kitchen.
- Keeps large-volume bins covered during and between service periods
- Supports hygiene compliance by containing odours and limiting access
- Polyethylene construction resists cracking and warping in typical kitchen conditions
- Straightforward to remove and replace — no tools or fittings required
This lid is a replacement or additional cover specifically sized for the 121Ltr Brute round container. It will not fit smaller or larger Brute containers, so it is worth confirming your bin size before ordering. If you are unsure which lid matches your existing containers, the team are happy to help you confirm compatibility.
£5.46(£6.55 inc VAT)
This square polycarbonate storage container from Hygiplas is a practical, everyday storage solution commonly found in commercial prep and service kitchens. Designed to hold sauces, dressings, stocks, marinated proteins, and bulk prepped ingredients, it suits the kind of mise en place routine that any structured kitchen relies on.
Polycarbonate is a sensible material choice for this kind of container. It is significantly more impact-resistant than standard food-grade plastic, which matters in a busy kitchen environment where containers are stacked, dropped, and moved repeatedly throughout service. The graduated stamped measures on the side allow kitchen teams to portion or monitor quantities at a glance without reaching for separate measuring equipment, which saves small but meaningful amounts of time during a busy prep shift.
A few points worth noting in practice:
- Compatible with colour-coded lids, sold separately — useful for allergen separation and HACCP-compliant storage systems
- Textured base reduces sliding on work surfaces and shelving
- Suitable for use in freezers and dishwashers, supporting a straightforward cleaning and rotation cycle
- The polycarbonate construction handles temperature extremes well, making it reliable across chilled, ambient, and light hot-holding applications
- Square profile makes efficient use of fridge and shelving space compared with round containers of equivalent volume
At 3.5 litres, this container is well suited to smaller prep batches, individual service station use, or as part of a larger set where multiple containers are used across different ingredients or shifts. Operations needing significantly larger bulk storage will find higher-capacity options in the same range more appropriate.
If you are building out a storage system and want to think through capacity, lid compatibility, or colour-coding for allergen management, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

Material matters too. The range includes polycarbonate, polypropylene, glass (Pyrex) and stainless steel (Louis Tellier six-compartment container).
