These oval polypropylene food baskets from Olympia are a straightforward serving solution commonly used in casual dining, pub kitchens, and fast-casual operations. The red colour makes them easy to identify in a busy service environment, and the oval shape suits a broad range of plated items — chips, burgers, sandwiches, chicken strips, and similar grab-and-go or table service dishes.

Polypropylene is a practical choice for this type of basket. It is robust enough to handle the pace of a busy service, resistant to food staining, and straightforward to clean at the end of a shift. Lined with baking parchment or greaseproof paper, they work well for serving fried or greasy items without the basket absorbing oils or odours over time.

For day-to-day service, these baskets offer a few clear operational advantages:

  • Lightweight and easy to stack, keeping storage simple between services
  • Compatible with standard baking parchment liners for hygienic food presentation
  • Consistent red colouring supports colour-coded front-of-house systems
  • Dishwasher-safe polypropylene construction simplifies end-of-service cleaning
  • Sold in packs of six, making it practical to maintain adequate cover during busy periods

These baskets are well suited to cafes, burger bars, pub dining rooms, and similar environments where informal food presentation is part of the service style. They are not intended for oven use or high-temperature applications. For operations running high table turnover or larger covers, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would better suit your service volume.

If you are unsure how many you need for your covers or whether a different size or colour would work better for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently asked questions

Can these baskets go in a commercial dishwasher?

Polypropylene is generally dishwasher-safe, making these straightforward to clean at the end of a service. If you are running high-temperature dishwashers, it is worth checking your machine's cycle temperatures against the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid any distortion over time.

Do I need to use a liner, or can food go directly in the basket?

For dry items like bread or wrapped snacks, the basket can be used without a liner. For chips, fried chicken, or anything with residual oil or moisture, lining with baking parchment or greaseproof paper is strongly recommended — it protects the basket, makes cleaning easier, and gives a cleaner presentation to the customer.

How many packs should I order for a busy service?

That depends on your covers, table turnover, and how frequently you can clear and restock baskets during service. As a rough guide, higher-volume operations or those with fast turnaround tend to benefit from keeping two to three packs in rotation. If you are unsure what quantity suits your operation, our team can help you think it through.
