{"product_id":"aps-chafing-dish-set-305mm","title":"APS Chafing Dish Set 305mm Stainless Steel Buffet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperationally, this set suits front-of-house buffet setups where you need:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent food temperature across a service period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA presentable unit that does not look purely functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA straightforward water-based heat system that is easy to manage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA unit that travels and sets up reliably for event catering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compact format suited to tighter buffet table arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChafing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APS","offers":[{"title":"Stainless Steel","offer_id":46833196695869,"sku":"FT166","price":199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Copper","offer_id":58432673513854,"sku":"FT167","price":241.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":58432673546622,"sku":"FT168","price":243.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":58432673579390,"sku":"FT169","price":243.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/fe2dc3abfbd6de3b8886580e1c45c77e.jpg?v=1692712667","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/aps-chafing-dish-set-305mm","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
