£2.51(£3.01 inc VAT)
The Tablecraft solid spoodle is a one-piece stainless steel serving and portioning utensil with a fixed 60ml bowl. The solid bowl design makes it suitable for serving semi-liquid and solid foods — portioned rice, vegetables, stews, and similar items — while the colour-coded red handle identifies it instantly within a busy service line.
In practice, colour-coded utensils help kitchens reduce cross-contamination risk and maintain consistent portion sizes during peak service. Where multiple spoodle sizes are in use across a service counter or bain-marie station, the red coding allows staff to pick the correct utensil quickly without measuring or guessing. The heavy-gauge stainless steel construction holds up well under repeated daily use and commercial dishwasher cycles.
- Colour-coded red handle for quick visual identification on the serving line
- Solid bowl delivers consistent 60ml portions for controlled food cost
- One-piece construction with no joints where food debris can trap
- Thumb grip handle aids comfort during extended service periods
- Heavy-gauge stainless steel withstands commercial dishwasher use
There are no installation requirements — this is a hand utensil. It is worth confirming that 60ml suits your intended portion before ordering, as spoodles are available in smaller and larger capacities depending on your menu and plating requirements.
This spoodle is well suited to school and contract catering, hotel banqueting, and any operation running a cafeteria-style service line where consistent portioning and fast identification of utensils matter. If your service involves a wider range of portion sizes, it may be worth looking at a set covering multiple capacities.
If you are unsure which size or bowl style suits your menu best, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£3.01(£3.61 inc VAT)
This Tablecraft solid spoodle is a one-piece stainless steel serving utensil with a fixed 118ml (4oz) bowl, designed for consistent portioning during food service. The green colour coding allows kitchen teams to identify the correct utensil at a glance, which helps reduce portioning errors when multiple sizes are in use on the same line.
In a busy service environment, consistency matters. A fixed-capacity solid spoodle removes the guesswork from portioning sauces, vegetables, grains, or side dishes, helping to keep plate costs predictable and presentation uniform across a full service period. The thumb-grip handle assists with controlled, comfortable use even during extended shifts.
Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- Colour-coded green handle for quick identification alongside other bowl sizes
- Solid bowl construction suitable for dense or solid food items
- One-piece stainless steel build with no joins to trap food or bacteria
- Thumb-grip handle for controlled pouring and reduced fatigue
- Dishwasher-safe construction for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
At 343mm in length, the spoodle is well suited to standard gastronorm pans and bain-marie setups. The one-piece construction means there are no handle rivets or seams to work loose under repeated commercial washing cycles, which is a common failure point on cheaper alternatives.
This size is a practical choice for operations portioning individual side servings or controlled sauce portions. Where larger or smaller portion sizes are required, the same Tablecraft range is available in other capacities with matching colour-coded handles, making it straightforward to standardise across a full set.
If you are building out a complete portioning set or are unsure which bowl size suits your menu, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£79.10(£94.92 inc VAT)
This is a large-format balloon whisk designed specifically for use in deep commercial vessels — stock pots, bratt pans, and cooking kettles where a standard-length whisk simply cannot reach the base effectively. At just over a metre in length, it allows a single operator to work through large volumes of liquid or semi-liquid preparations without needing to lean dangerously over hot equipment.
In practice, it is the kind of tool that earns its place quickly in high-volume operations. Whisking large batches of sauce, incorporating roux, or keeping a béchamel moving in a 40-litre pot becomes considerably easier when the whisk is proportionate to the vessel. The stainless steel construction handles repeated daily use without distorting or corroding, and the reinforced handle gives enough rigidity to work through thicker preparations without flex becoming a problem.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Well suited to stock pots, bratt pans, tilting kettles, and other deep commercial vessels
- Stainless steel throughout — compatible with standard commercial dishwashing
- The length helps operators maintain distance from heat sources during active stirring
- Suited to thick preparations including sauces, cream, and light doughs
- At 1.14kg, it has enough weight to feel solid without causing early fatigue
This whisk is best suited to high-volume catering operations — central production kitchens, institutional catering, contract catering, and large staff or school canteens where batch cooking in deep equipment is routine. For lighter work or smaller vessels, a shorter whisk will be easier to handle and more practical day-to-day.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or building out a smallwares list and want to make sure you have the right sizes for your setup, we are happy to talk it through.
£3.31(£3.97 inc VAT)
The Tablecraft solid spoodle is a one-piece stainless steel serving utensil combining the bowl shape of a spoon with the straight sides of a ladle. The black colour coding makes it straightforward to distinguish this 180ml size from other capacities at a glance, which is particularly useful during busy service when multiple spoodles are in use across the same pass or counter.
In practice, spoodles like this one are commonly used in cafeteria and canteen service, hot buffet lines, and prep stations where consistent portioning matters. The solid bowl holds sauces, stews, grains, and similar foods without draining, making it a practical choice wherever a measured, level scoop is required every time.
- Colour-coded black handle allows quick size identification during service
- One-piece construction eliminates joins where food debris can accumulate
- Thumb grip handle supports comfortable, controlled scooping under repetitive use
- Heavy-gauge stainless steel resists distortion through repeated washing and daily use
- Solid bowl delivers consistent 180ml portions without liquid loss
Being a single-piece unit, there are no rivets or seams to trap food residue, which simplifies cleaning and supports hygiene compliance. It is dishwasher safe and built to withstand the repeated thermal cycling of a commercial warewasher without degrading.
This spoodle is well suited to operations running portion-controlled service — schools, care homes, staff restaurants, and similar environments. If your service requires larger or smaller portion sizes, the same Tablecraft range includes alternative capacities to match your specific needs.
If you are building out a set of portion control utensils and want guidance on which sizes work well together for a particular menu, the team is happy to help you put the right combination in place.
£3.89(£4.67 inc VAT)
The Tablecraft solid spoodle is a one-piece stainless steel serving utensil combining the bowl of a ladle with the flat base of a spoon. The blue colour coding identifies this as an 8oz (240ml) unit, allowing kitchen teams to distinguish between portion sizes at a glance without stopping to measure.
In a busy service environment, consistent portioning matters — both for cost control and for maintaining consistent plate presentation across a shift. A colour-coded spoodle system removes guesswork at the point of service, which is particularly useful in high-throughput operations such as canteens, hospital catering, school kitchens, and staff restaurants where speed and accuracy need to work together.
The heavy-gauge stainless steel construction holds up reliably under daily commercial use, resisting the warping and cracking that can affect lighter utensils over time. Practical advantages include:
- Colour-coded blue handle for fast visual identification of 240ml portion
- Solid bowl construction — suitable for thicker foods and dense dishes
- One-piece build with no joints or seams where food can collect
- Thumb grip handle for comfortable, controlled use during long service periods
- Stainless steel throughout — dishwasher safe and easy to sanitise
This spoodle is well suited to any operation that serves portioned wet or semi-solid foods — soups, stews, sauces, rice, or similar — where standard ladles can be imprecise. It sits comfortably within a broader colour-coded system; if your operation works across multiple portion sizes, completing the range will help kitchen teams maintain accuracy across the board.
If you're building out a portioning system or need guidance on which sizes suit your menu best, the team is happy to help you work it through.
£5.78(£6.94 inc VAT)
These bamboo paddle markers are printed with "Gluten Free" and are designed to identify dishes, portions, or prep trays where gluten-free requirements apply. At 3.5 inches, they sit visibly in plated food, sharing boards, or preparation containers without getting lost, making allergen communication clearer at both the prep stage and front of house.
In busy service environments, keeping track of allergen requirements across multiple covers is a genuine operational challenge. Markers like these provide a simple, low-cost way to flag gluten-free dishes consistently through the kitchen journey — from prep to pass — reducing the risk of mix-ups during high-pressure service periods. They are not a substitute for robust allergen management procedures, but they are a practical tool within a broader approach.
- Clear "Gluten Free" text for reliable identification at the pass
- Bamboo construction — renewable and biodegradable, unlike plastic alternatives
- Suitable for use in prep, cold-side plating, and front-of-house presentation
- Single-use disposable format keeps cross-contamination risk low
- Pack of 100 supports consistent use across a full service without rationing
Being single-use disposables, they require no cleaning and carry no risk of label degradation through repeated washing. The bamboo material is biodegradable, which makes them a more responsible choice than plastic picks for operators looking to reduce their environmental impact in small, practical ways.
These markers are well suited to any commercial kitchen handling gluten-free orders — from cafés and pub kitchens to hotel restaurants and contract catering operations. If you handle multiple allergen types, it is worth checking whether a coordinated set of allergen markers would better serve your kitchen's needs. The team is happy to advise on what works well in practice.
£2.80(£3.36 inc VAT)
The Tablecraft solid spoodle is a one-piece stainless steel serving utensil designed primarily for portion control in commercial food service. The 90ml capacity sits it comfortably in the range used for sauces, gravies, soups, and side portions, where consistent serving size matters both for cost control and presentation.
In a busy service environment, consistency across a shift is difficult to maintain without reliable portioning tools. A colour-coded spoodle system — where each colour corresponds to a set volume — allows kitchen and front-of-house staff to portion accurately without weighing or estimating, which reduces over-serving and supports tighter food cost management across a full service period. The beige colour designates the 90ml size within the Tablecraft coding system, making it easy to identify at a glance alongside other volumes in use.
The heavy-gauge stainless steel construction holds up well under the repeated thermal cycling of a working kitchen — moving between hot-hold, cold-hold, and dishwasher use without warping or degrading. The single-piece design avoids the joint points where older composite utensils tend to fail, and the thumb-grip handle gives reasonable control when ladling from a bain-marie or serving counter.
- Colour-coded for fast visual identification in multi-volume service setups
- One-piece construction with no joints to trap food or fail under heavy use
- Thumb-grip handle aids control during fast-paced service
- Dishwasher safe and compatible with standard commercial warewashing routines
This spoodle suits operations running a structured portion control system — canteens, contract catering, care homes, schools, and similar volume-serving environments. If you are building out a full set across multiple portion sizes, it is worth ensuring your full range is colour-matched to the same system. The team is happy to advise on building a consistent set.
£5.78(£6.94 inc VAT)
These bamboo paddle markers are printed with the word 'Vegan' and are designed to identify dishes, portions, or ingredients that meet vegan dietary requirements. At 3.5 inches in length, they sit clearly in plated food, sharing platters, buffet items, or prep containers without getting lost in the presentation.
In a busy kitchen environment, clear allergen and dietary labelling matters at every stage — from prep and mise en place through to front of house service. Having a dedicated, visible marker for vegan dishes reduces the chance of confusion during a busy service, particularly where multiple dietary requirements are being managed simultaneously. The paddle format makes the label easy to read quickly, which is useful when staff are moving fast.
From a practical standpoint, these offer a few operational advantages worth noting:
- Bamboo construction is renewable and biodegradable — a straightforward plastic-free swap
- Single-use disposable format removes any cross-contamination risk between services
- Clear printed labelling reduces verbal communication errors during plating
- Suitable for use in both kitchen prep and front of house presentation
- Pack of 100 provides reasonable stock for ongoing service use
These are single-use items and are not intended to be washed and reused. They are best stored in a dry environment to prevent any moisture affecting the bamboo before use. They are not suitable as a substitute for formal allergen management procedures — they support visual identification but should sit alongside, not replace, your kitchen's allergen protocols.
Well suited to restaurants, cafés, caterers, and hospitality venues that regularly serve vegan dishes and want a simple, disposable way to communicate that clearly to both kitchen and front of house teams. If your operation handles a wide range of dietary requirements, it may be worth looking at the broader range of marker options available.
If you're unsure which markers best fit your service style or allergen workflow, we're happy to talk it through.
£5.78(£6.94 inc VAT)
These bamboo steak markers are a straightforward way for front-of-house staff to identify how each steak has been cooked before plates leave the pass. Printed with a medium rare designation, each marker is made from bamboo, making them biodegradable and a more environmentally considered alternative to plastic equivalents.
In busy service periods, the ability to mark plates clearly at the pass reduces errors and avoids the need for staff to query the kitchen. That small operational detail matters when a section is running multiple covers simultaneously and communication between pass and floor needs to be fast and reliable.
- Clear medium rare labelling reduces plate confusion at the pass
- Biodegradable bamboo construction — suitable for operators reducing single-use plastic
- Single-use and disposable — no washing, no storage of used items
- Consistent presentation across every plate that leaves the kitchen
- Supplied in 100s for straightforward stock management
These markers are a single-use consumable and are not intended to be reused. They are suited to restaurants, hotels, and pub kitchens serving steaks as a regular part of the menu. If your operation covers the full range of steak doneness levels, markers for each grade are available separately so you can stock what your menu requires.
If you are unsure how many packs to carry based on your covers, or need to discuss stocking other doneness grades alongside these, the team is happy to help you work that out.
£5.78(£6.94 inc VAT)
These bamboo steak markers from Tablecraft are a straightforward way to identify steak doneness during service. Each marker is laser-engraved or printed with the cooking level — in this case, Rare — and is made from natural bamboo, making them biodegradable and a more environmentally considered alternative to plastic equivalents.
In a busy grill or steakhouse environment, clear steak identification reduces the chance of dishes being sent to the wrong table, particularly during peak covers when several steaks may be resting or plating simultaneously. Presenting a steak with a visible marker also adds a small but professional finishing touch that front-of-house teams and guests tend to appreciate.
- Biodegradable bamboo construction — no plastic waste
- Clear Rare designation for fast identification at the pass
- Supplied in 100s — practical quantity for regular service
- Suitable for use on plates, boards, and presentation trays
- Disposable single-use format supports hygiene standards
These are single-use markers, which keeps the process clean and straightforward — no washing, no storage of used items. For operations running multiple doneness levels, the full range covers all cooking stages, allowing consistent presentation across the board.
Well suited to steakhouses, pub grills, hotel restaurants, and any kitchen regularly serving steak to order. For very high-volume sites turning over large numbers of covers per service, it is worth checking pack quantities against your typical weekly use to ensure you hold adequate stock.
If you are setting up a full steak marker set across all doneness levels or have questions about quantities, the team is happy to help you work out what you need.
£5.78(£6.94 inc VAT)
These bamboo steak markers are a straightforward front-of-house tool for communicating steak doneness between kitchen and table. Each marker is made from bamboo, making them biodegradable and a more sustainable choice than plastic alternatives — a consideration that matters increasingly in commercial settings where single-use plastic use is under scrutiny.
In a busy grill or steakhouse environment, clear doneness communication reduces the number of dishes returned and speeds up the checking process during service. Markers are inserted directly into the steak at the pass, giving floor staff an immediate visual reference without needing to query the kitchen. The medium size suits most standard steak cuts served in a typical restaurant or pub setting.
- Biodegradable bamboo construction — no plastic waste
- Clear, consistent doneness identification at the pass
- Reduces service errors and returned dishes
- Single-use, so no cleaning or cross-contamination concerns
- 100 per pack — practical quantity for ongoing service use
These are a single-use consumable and are not intended to be washed and reused. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings, it is worth checking pack quantities against expected weekly covers to avoid running short during service.
Well suited to restaurants, pubs, hotel kitchens, and any operation with a regular steak offering on the menu. If you run a higher-volume operation or need markers in larger quantities, it is worth getting in touch to discuss what works best for your service setup.
£5.78(£6.94 inc VAT)
These bamboo steak markers are a straightforward front-of-house tool designed to identify medium well cooked steaks clearly at the pass or on the plate. Made from natural bamboo, they are biodegradable and disposable, making them a practical choice for kitchens looking to reduce plastic waste without adding to washing-up.
In a busy grill or steakhouse environment, accurate doneness communication between the kitchen and service team matters. A missed or incorrect cook is a costly error in both food waste and guest satisfaction terms. Steak markers inserted at the pass give front-of-house staff an immediate visual cue, reducing the chance of the wrong plate reaching the wrong cover.
- Biodegradable bamboo construction — no plastic waste
- Clear doneness labelling reduces service errors at the pass
- Disposable — no cleaning or sorting required after service
- Supplied in a pack of 100, suitable for regular service volumes
- Lightweight and compact — easy to store at the grill station
Being single-use, there is no requirement to clean or store them between services, which suits high-turnover operations where speed and simplicity are priorities. Bamboo is more robust than paper alternatives and holds its position in the meat without bending, even under heat lamp conditions.
These markers are best suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and pub grill operations where steak is a regular menu item. For venues running high covers or multiple service sessions daily, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would better suit your throughput. Full sets covering all doneness levels are also available if you need markers across the full range.
If you are stocking up on pass and service consumables and would like guidance on quantities or other tableware essentials, our team is happy to help you work through your requirements.
£5.78(£6.94 inc VAT)
These bamboo steak markers are a straightforward solution for communicating steak doneness at the pass or tableside. Each marker is labelled for well done, allowing front-of-house and kitchen staff to identify and deliver orders accurately without ambiguity. The pack contains 100 individual markers, making them practical for regular replenishment in busy service environments.
Made from bamboo, the markers are biodegradable and a more sustainable option than equivalent plastic picks — a consideration that matters to an increasing number of operators, particularly those with sustainability commitments or eco-conscious clientele.
In practice, steak markers of this type are commonly used in steakhouses, pub kitchens, hotel restaurants, and any operation serving grilled or pan-cooked meat where multiple doneness levels are handled simultaneously during service. They help reduce errors at the pass and give waiting staff a clear visual reference when delivering plates to a table.
- Eliminates doneness confusion at the pass and tableside
- Biodegradable material supports sustainability goals
- Single-use design removes cleaning requirements
- Clear labelling reduces order errors during busy service
- 100-pack quantity suits regular service volumes
These are disposable, single-use markers — not intended for washing and reuse. Stock levels will depend on how frequently steak dishes are served, and operators running high-volume grill services may find it worth keeping several packs in reserve.
If you serve multiple doneness levels and need a full set of markers, or have questions about quantities suited to your service, the team is happy to help you work out what you need.
