- Stacking Note: It's semi-stackable, so they don't nest as tightly as some other models.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Head, a popular gastropub in Norwich, was struggling with frequent breakages during their packed weekend services. Their old, smooth-surfaced trays were causing glasses to slide, leading to costly accidents and service delays.
"Honestly, the sound of a tray of drinks hitting the floor is one a pub manager dreads. We needed something with more grip, and these Beaumont trays were the answer. The difference was immediate."
Robert Green – General Manager
After introducing the Beaumont non-slip trays, the pub reported an estimated 80% reduction in dropped trays and associated breakages within the first month.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give the tray a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- It's ready to go straight out of the box – no assembly required!
- For best performance, stack heavier items in the centre to maintain balance.
Keeping It in Top Shape
- The tray is fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup at the end of a shift simple.
- To protect the non-slip surface, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners.
- When not in use, stack them neatly to save space and prevent warping or damage.
- Wipe up any major spills promptly to maintain maximum grip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How effective is the non-slip surface?
A: It's very effective. The textured surface provides excellent grip for glassware and crockery, significantly reducing the chance of items sliding during transit, even if the tray is tilted slightly.
Q: Can it hold hot plates straight from the pass?
A: Yes, the durable plastic is designed to withstand the heat of typical hot plates served in a restaurant. However, we don't recommend placing items straight from an oven onto it.
Q: What is the best way to clean this black non-slip tray for restaurants?
A: The tray is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. You can also hand wash it with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
Q: Is the plastic flexible or rigid?
A: It is made from a strong, rigid plastic. This prevents the tray from bending or flexing, which is crucial when carrying heavy loads.
Q: What does 'semi-stackable' mean?
A: It means the trays can be stacked, but they don't nest perfectly inside one another. They will stack securely, saving vertical space, but won't be as compact as fully nesting designs.
Q: What are the dimensions in inches?
A: The tray measures approximately 14 inches by 18 inches, a popular and versatile size for commercial use.
Q: Is this tray suitable for outdoor use in a pub garden?
A: Absolutely. Its durable plastic construction makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor service.
Q: Will the black colour fade or scratch easily?
A: The colour is integral to the plastic, so it won't fade from washing. While all plastic can scratch with heavy use, this tray is designed for commercial durability.

Explore more from BeaumontHow a Textured Surface Prevents Spills
Ever wondered what makes a 'slip-resistant' surface actually work? It's all about clever physics. Think of it like the difference between a bald car tyre and a new one in the rain. A smooth tray surface allows a thin film of water from condensation or small spills to form, letting glasses slide around like they're on an ice rink. This tray's textured finish acts like the tread on a tyre.
The tiny bumps and ridges break the surface tension of the liquid, creating thousands of points of friction that grip the base of a glass or plate. While not a rubber coated serving tray Beaumont, its specially-moulded plastic surface delivers that same grippy, secure feel without the risk of rubber peeling over time. It’s a simple but incredibly effective design that gives staff the confidence to move safely and quickly.
