Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Bistro in Bristol was struggling with their existing serving trays, which were cracking and becoming heavily stained after just a few months of use. They needed a more professional and long-lasting solution for their busy lunchtime service.
"We were replacing our trays every quarter, which was not only costly but looked unprofessional. Since switching to the Cambro Capri trays, we haven't had a single breakage. They still look brand new after six months of constant use, and a quick wipe is all they need."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Corner Bistro
The bistro has seen a significant reduction in replacement costs and an improvement in the speed of table turnarounds due to easier cleaning.

Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, inspect each tray for any signs of damage during transit.

Keeping It Going
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each use for best results.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners which can dull the surface over time.

Explore more from CambroWhy High-Pressure Laminate Makes All the Difference
You might see 'laminate' and think of a simple plastic coating, but it's much more advanced than that. High-pressure laminate (HPL) is created by fusing multiple layers of kraft paper saturated with resin under intense heat and pressure. This process bonds the layers into a single, incredibly dense and stable sheet.
Think of it like the difference between a single sheet of paper and a piece of plywood. The single sheet is flimsy, but the cross-layered structure of plywood makes it remarkably strong. HPL works on a similar principle, creating a surface that is highly resistant to impact, scratches, heat, and stains. It’s the reason this restaurant food tray smooth surface can handle a hot plate or a dropped fork without leaving a permanent mark, ensuring a long and reliable service life.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Cafés & Coffee Shops: Ideal for customer self-service, easily handling daily wear and tear while being simple to wipe clean.
