Product Overview
Here’s a brilliant bit of kit that perfectly marries classic good looks with workhorse practicality. The Versatray Century from Cambro offers the warm, inviting appearance of light oak wood but is engineered from a high-tech composite material that’s built for the hustle and bustle of a commercial setting. It delivers a touch of rustic charm without any of the splintering, staining, or warping you’d get from a real wooden tray.
This tray is a real friend to any busy restaurant, gastropub, hotel, or café that values both style and safety. Its generous 330x430mm surface is perfect for carrying everything from a full meal to a round of drinks.

Expert Review and Insights
The Cambro Versatray is one of those simple products that just gets it right. It solves a real-world problem for hospitality businesses: how to look good while preventing costly, messy spills. The textured finish provides genuine grip without feeling sticky, and its durability means it will outlast cheaper alternatives many times over, making it a wise long-term buy.
Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Practical Elegance: The wood effect is convincing and elevates presentation above standard plastic trays.
- Cleaning Note: The textured surface can trap crumbs more than a smooth one; requires a firm wipe.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of York, was struggling with their old, chipped plastic trays that became treacherous when wet. They needed a durable and safer alternative that matched their cosy, traditional décor.
"Our staff are so much more confident carrying drinks through the crowds now. The Cambro trays grip everything perfectly, and they look a hundred times better than our old ones. No more sliding glasses or embarrassing spills during the lunch rush."
Robert Davies – Manager, The Copper Kettle
The upgrade led to a noticeable decrease in drink spillages and glassware breakages within the first month of use.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before the first use.
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive powders to protect the textured finish.
- Stack carefully after drying to allow air to circulate and prevent moisture build-up.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, wipe clean promptly after each use to prevent food residue from drying on.
- The tray is dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended to prolong its pristine appearance.
- Avoid placing extremely hot items, like pans straight from the oven, directly onto the tray.
- Periodically inspect for any deep gouges that could compromise the non-slip surface.

The Cambro Promise: An Investment in Flawless Service
When you choose a Cambro product, you're investing in more than just a piece of equipment; you're buying into a legacy of unparalleled durability and smart design that has supported busy kitchens for decades. This Versatray is a prime example. While other trays chip, stain, or become dangerously slick over time, a Cambro tray is engineered for the long haul. This means you spend less money on replacements and less time worrying about safety. The real-world value lies in the operational smoothness it provides day after day—fewer dropped plates, fewer spilt drinks, and a consistently professional image presented to your customers. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference to your bottom line and your brand's reputation.
Explore more from CambroMore Than Just a Pretty Surface: How the Non-Slip Grip Works
Ever wondered how a 'non-slip' tray actually works? It's not a sticky coating that wears off over time. Instead, Cambro has engineered a special high-friction texture directly into the tray's surface during manufacturing. It’s a bit like the high-performance tread on a premium car tyre – it's designed to provide maximum grip, especially when things get a little wet or are carried at an angle.
This micro-texture creates thousands of tiny contact points that hold glasses, plates, and cutlery in place, stopping them from sliding around as your staff navigate corners or busy crowds. It gives just enough 'grab' to secure the load without ever feeling tacky to the touch or being difficult to wipe clean, giving you the best of both worlds: safety and easy maintenance.
Who Should Buy This?
- Gastropubs & Bistros: To enhance rustic table settings while ensuring staff can serve food and drinks safely and efficiently.
- Boutique Hotels: Perfect for delivering premium room service with a touch of class and preventing messy spills on carpets.
- Artisan Coffee Shops: A stylish and practical choice for customers carrying their own orders, reducing breakages and accidents.
- Care Homes & Healthcare: An excellent tray for meal delivery where a secure, non-slip surface is vital for patient safety and dignity.
