Commercial Anti-Slip Trays are essential workhorses in UK restaurants, cafés, and catering operations where safe, efficient service is non-negotiable. These specially designed trays feature textured surfaces and non-slip coatings that dramatically reduce accidents and spillages during busy service. Available in various shapes and materials from lightweight fibreglass to heavy-duty plastic, they're robust enough to withstand years of daily use in high-pressure environments. After 50 years of kitting out professional kitchens, we've seen how these trays work brilliantly alongside serving platters and tableware to create a complete service solution that boosts both safety and presentation.

The magic of anti-slip trays lies in their clever surface engineering. Most feature a rubberised, textured coating or moulded pattern that creates friction between the tray and whatever's placed on it. This grippy surface prevents glasses, plates and dishes from sliding about, even when the tray is tilted at an angle. The coating also provides cushioning that absorbs minor bumps and vibrations during transport. Many models incorporate raised edges that contain spills and prevent items from sliding off completely. This simple yet effective design transforms an ordinary tray into an essential safety tool that significantly reduces breakages and accidents in busy service environments.

To get the most from your anti-slip trays, clean them properly after each service—residue can reduce their grip over time. Avoid overloading; even the best trays have weight limits. When carrying, use both hands under the tray rather than gripping the edges for better balance. If using in bar service, consider cork serving mats alongside trays to further reduce glass movement and protect surfaces from condensation. Finally, rotate your trays regularly to ensure even wear across your inventory.
Having equipped thousands of UK eateries over five decades, we've learned what makes a top-notch tray. 'A good anti-slip tray pays for itself in one night,' explains Mark, our restaurant equipment specialist. 'The reduction in breakages alone covers the cost—not to mention avoiding potential injuries from falling items.'
Consider The Copper Kettle, a busy café in Bristol that was struggling with constant breakages. Their servers were nervous about carrying full trays during peak hours, resulting in slower service and mounting replacement costs. After switching to our premium anti-slip trays alongside new serving platters, they transformed their operation. 'We've cut our breakage rate by nearly 90%,' the owner reports. 'Our staff are more confident, service is quicker, and we're saving a fortune on replacement crockery. The investment paid for itself within weeks!'
