The Grand Hotel in Llandudno was looking to upgrade its room service offering. Their existing plastic ice buckets looked tired and suffered from heavy condensation, often leaving watermarks on furniture and failing to keep ice frozen for guests.
"Our old buckets were a mess - condensation everywhere and ice melted in a flash. The Olympia C569s look the part and actually work. Guests have even commented on how nice they are, which is a real win for us."
Michael Davies – Operations Manager
The switch resulted in a 90% reduction in guest complaints about condensation and our ice now lasts twice as long during service, reducing staff workload.
Ever wondered what 'double-wall insulated' actually means? Think of it like a personal flask, but for your ice. This **commercial ice bucket with lid** has an inner wall and an outer wall, with a gap of air trapped between them. This gap is a terrible conductor of heat, which means warmth from the room can't get in to melt the ice, and the cold from the ice can't get out.
It’s the exact same principle that keeps your tea hot in a travel mug. By creating that simple but effective thermal barrier, the Olympia C569 dramatically slows down the melting process. The result? Your ice stays solid for hours, your drinks stay perfectly chilled, and you don't get a bucket that 'sweats' condensation all over your pristine tablecloths.
Q: How many bottles can this ice bucket hold?
A: It's designed to comfortably hold one standard 75cl bottle of wine or champagne along with a generous amount of ice.
Q: Is the stainless steel food-safe?
A: Absolutely. The high-quality stainless steel is completely food-safe and hygienic for direct contact with ice.
Q: Will the outside of the bucket get wet with condensation?
A: No, that's the magic of the double-wall insulation. It prevents the bucket from 'sweating', so the outside stays dry and at room temperature.
Q: Is the handle securely attached?
A: Yes, the traditional swing handle is robustly fixed to the bucket, allowing for safe and secure carrying, even when it's full.
Q: Can I put this in the freezer to pre-chill it?
A: It isn't necessary thanks to the effective insulation. We don't recommend it, as extreme temperature changes could affect the material over the long term.
Q: Does the lid create a tight seal?
A: The lid is designed to sit neatly on top to provide cover, but it doesn't create a vacuum seal, making it easy to lift off during service.
Q: What is the best way to clean the Olympia C569 ice bucket to avoid streaks?
A: For best results, hand wash with a soft cloth and soapy water, then dry immediately with a clean, dry microfibre towel.
Q: Is it heavy to carry when full?
A: The bucket itself is very light at just 1.66kg. Even with ice and a bottle, it remains very manageable for staff to carry safely.
