Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Siren, a popular fish and chip restaurant on the Whitby seafront, wanted to modernise their dine-in experience without losing their classic charm. They swapped their standard plates for the Beaumont wire chip cone holder to give their famous chips a more premium feel.
"We were looking for a small change that would make a big impact, and these cones were just the ticket. Customers absolutely love them. They feel a bit more special than just getting chips on a plate, and our social media mentions have gone through the roof with people posting pictures."
David Chen – Owner, The Salty Siren
The simple switch in tableware led to a significant increase in positive online reviews mentioning the 'great presentation' and a noticeable uptick in side orders like onion rings.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give each cone a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Always place a sheet of greaseproof paper or a branded liner inside before adding hot food.
- The stable base is designed for flat surfaces like tables or wooden serving boards.
- Check that the cone is perfect for your portion sizes to ensure consistency for customers.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the black finish, we recommend hand washing only – avoid harsh dishwasher cycles.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean; steer clear of abrasive scourers.
- Ensure cones are completely dry before stacking or storing to maintain their condition.
- Periodically check for any damage to ensure they always look their best for service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to use a paper liner with this cone?
A: Yes, absolutely. The cone is designed to be used with a greaseproof paper liner to hold the food, absorb excess oil, and make cleaning much easier.
Q: Can this go in a commercial dishwasher?
A: To preserve the black coated finish and ensure a long life, we strongly recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
Q: Is the black coating durable enough for a busy restaurant?
A: Yes, it's a commercial-grade product from Beaumont, designed to withstand the rigours of daily use in a professional catering environment.
Q: What else can I serve in this besides chips?
A: It's incredibly versatile! Try it for onion rings, halloumi fries, calamari, churros, breaded mushrooms, or even crispy whitebait.
Q: What are the exact dimensions?
A: The cone measures 241mm in height, 105mm in width, and 119mm in depth, making it a great size for a generous side portion.
Q: Is the cone heavy?
A: No, it's very lightweight at just 0.33 kg, making it easy for waiting staff to carry multiple orders to tables without strain.
Q: Are these stackable for storage?
A: They can be nested to a degree to save space, but they don't stack perfectly one inside the other due to their shape.
Q: Will the cone get too hot to touch when filled with hot fries?
A: The metal can get warm, but it's designed to be carried by the base or rim. The food is contained within the liner, and it cools quickly.

Explore more from BeaumontWhy a Wire Frame Makes All the Difference
You might look at the black wire French fry cone holder and just see a basket, but the 'wire finish' is a clever design choice that directly impacts the dining experience. Think of it like a picture frame for your food. Instead of hiding the chips away in a solid pot, the open wire design showcases them, making them look more abundant and appealing. When you add a sheet of branded greaseproof paper, your logo or pattern peeks through the gaps, creating a professional, layered look.
It’s the same reason a fancy cake shop uses a beautiful box – presentation primes the customer for a better experience. This design makes the food feel lighter and more artisanal, turning a simple side into a key part of the meal's visual appeal. It’s a subtle but powerful way to make your food more memorable.
