APS Chafing Dish Set 305mm Stainless Steel Buffet
£199.00(£238.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The APS Chafing Dish Set is a stainless steel buffet serving unit designed to keep food at a safe and consistent serving temperature during table or buffet service. It comes in a 305mm format with a stainless steel, copper, yellow or red finish. Choose your finish from the dropdown. The copper finish gives a warmer aesthetic than polished steel, and the yellow and red finishes suit colour-coded buffet presentation, including separating dietary or allergen categories.
In service, chafing dishes like this hold prepared food at temperature across extended buffet periods, whether that is a hotel breakfast service, a corporate lunch, a wedding breakfast or event catering. The stainless steel construction handles the heat and cleaning demands of regular commercial use. Heat comes from a water bath below the food pan, warmed by a fuel burner.
Operationally, this set suits front-of-house buffet setups where you need:
- Consistent food temperature across a service period
- A presentable unit that does not look purely functional
- A straightforward water-based heat system that is easy to manage
- A unit that travels and sets up reliably for event catering
- A compact format suited to tighter buffet table arrangements
Chafing dishes maintain temperature rather than cook or reheat, so food should always be brought to the correct serving temperature before it goes in the set. Burners are not included and need to be sourced separately. Chafing dishes of this size suit smaller-scale or supplementary buffet service rather than high-volume continuous throughput. For larger sittings, a larger capacity unit or multiple sets would be the more practical approach. All four finishes weigh 5.32kg. The copper finish costs less than the yellow and red, so check the price when you change your selection.
This set is well suited to hotels, event caterers, restaurants running occasional buffet services and hospitality venues. If you are unsure whether this size is right for your service volume or buffet layout, we are happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is this chafing dish suitable for reheating food during service?
No — chafing dishes are designed to hold food at serving temperature, not to reheat it. Food must be brought to the correct temperature before being placed in the set. Using a chafing dish to attempt reheating risks food sitting in the temperature danger zone, which is a food safety concern.
How many covers will a single 305mm chafing dish set serve?
This depends on the dish being served and portion size, but the 305mm format is generally suited to smaller buffet runs or as part of a larger multi-dish buffet line. For high-volume service or where a single dish needs to feed a large number of guests continuously, additional units or a larger format would be more appropriate.
What fuel source does this chafing dish set use?
Chafing dishes of this type are typically used with gel fuel or spirit burners placed beneath the water pan — however, the specific fuel type for this set is not confirmed in the product data. We'd recommend confirming fuel compatibility with the team before ordering if this is a consideration for your setup.
