Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Ship Inn, a popular pub in York, recently revamped its menu to focus on high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients. They needed their presentation to match this new premium feel and felt their standard side dish plates were letting the side down.
"We were putting so much effort into our mains, but the chips just looked a bit sad on the plate. These Beaumont cones changed that overnight. They look fantastic, and our customers constantly post pictures of their meals. It's the little things that make a big difference."
Robert Davies – General Manager
Since introducing the cones, the pub has seen a significant uptick in social media tags and a reported 20% increase in side dish orders.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the cone a quick check to ensure it's in perfect condition.
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before the first use.
- Pop a square of greaseproof paper inside for that classic look and for easier cleaning.
- That's it! It's ready to place on the table – no assembly needed.
Keeping It Going
- To keep the black finish looking its best, we recommend hand washing only.
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive cleaners. A soft cloth is all you need.
- Make sure it's fully dry before you stack and store it to prevent any water marks.
- Being made of stainless steel, it's built to last, but a quick check now and then is always wise.

A: To protect the black coated finish and ensure it lasts as long as possible, we strongly recommend washing it by hand with a soft cloth and soapy water.

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 black finish likely to chip?
A: It features a high-quality powder coating which is far more durable and chip-resistant than standard paint, designed specifically for a catering environment.

A: Absolutely! It's perfect for onion rings, calamari, chicken wings, breadsticks, or even as a quirky cutlery holder.
Q: Is this product suitable for a high-volume restaurant?

Explore more from BeaumontWhy a Coated Steel Finish Beats a Simple Paint Job
You might look at this and think it's just painted metal, but there's a bit more science to it. This cone has a powder-coated finish, which is leagues ahead of a simple splash of paint. Instead of wet paint, a fine, dry powder is applied to the stainless steel using an electrostatic charge, which makes it cling evenly. It's then baked in an oven, which melts the powder into a smooth, tough, and uniform shell.
Think of it like giving the cone a custom-fitted suit of armour. Unlike paint, which can easily chip, flake, or peel after a few hot washes (a real no-no in a food environment), this bonded coating is incredibly resilient. It's what gives this restaurant fry serving basket its lasting good looks and the strength to endure the daily grind of a commercial kitchen without compromising on food safety.
