The Grand Hall in York, a popular wedding and conference venue, was struggling with kitchen bottlenecks during large events. Their team needed a way to prep and plate over 200 covers simultaneously without cluttering every available surface.
"This gastronorm tray trolley completely streamlined our plating process. We can now assemble entire courses for a full wedding breakfast and wheel them out smoothly. It’s organised, it’s fast, and it’s taken a massive amount of stress off the team during service."
Michael Davies – Executive Chef
The venue reported a 25% reduction in plating time for large functions, allowing for quicker, more synchronised service to their guests.
You often see 'fully welded' listed as a feature, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it like the difference between flat-pack furniture and a solid, handmade cabinet. A flat-pack trolley is held together by screws and bolts which can loosen over time, leading to wobbles, rattles, and eventually, failure. A fully welded frame, like on this Bourgeat P072, is one solid piece of steel. The joints are fused together, making it incredibly rigid and strong right out of the box. There are no bolts to tighten and, crucially, no crevices for food debris and bacteria to hide in, making it far more hygienic and easier to clean. It’s a simple feature that guarantees long-term stability and safety.
