Price Match

These round polywicker baskets from Olympia are a practical table service and buffet item, designed to present bread rolls, sharing snacks, or similar food items during service. The wicker-effect aesthetic gives the appearance of traditional natural basketware, while the polywicker construction means they hold up in a commercial environment far better than genuine wicker would.

In day-to-day service they perform well for informal dining, café settings, and buffet presentations where a relaxed, rustic look is appropriate. They are lightweight and easy to handle, which suits fast-paced front-of-house environments where speed of reset between covers matters. Being dishwasher safe, they can go through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher at end of service rather than requiring hand-washing, which makes maintaining hygiene standards straightforward.

  • Dishwasher safe — practical for high-turnover service environments
  • Polywicker construction is more durable than natural wicker and resists moisture
  • Consistent appearance across the pack of six, suited to uniform table presentation
  • Lightweight design supports quick table reset between covers

They are best suited to restaurants, gastro pubs, cafés, and catering operations that serve bread or snacks at the table or as part of a buffet spread. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings daily, it is worth considering the pack quantity needed to maintain a full rotation through the wash cycle without running short mid-service.

If you are unsure whether these suit your specific service style or volume, the team is happy to point you in the right direction before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Are these suitable for use with a commercial dishwasher or glasswasher?

Yes, the polywicker material is dishwasher safe, so they can be put through a commercial dishwasher or glasswasher at the end of service. This makes them more practical for commercial use than natural wicker baskets, which tend to degrade with repeated wet cleaning.

How many packs would a typical restaurant need for a full table service rotation?

That depends on your cover count and how quickly baskets cycle through the wash. As a general guide, it is worth having enough baskets to cover your full dining room with at least one spare rotation in hand, so that dirty baskets can be washed without leaving tables waiting. For anything above around 40 covers, most operators find two or more packs useful.

Why choose polywicker over natural wicker for a commercial setting?

Natural wicker absorbs moisture, is difficult to clean thoroughly, and tends to deteriorate quickly with the repeated washing a commercial environment demands. Polywicker gives a similar rustic appearance but handles the wet and heat of commercial dishwashing far better, making it a more durable and hygienic choice for regular service use.
