Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Oarsman," a riverside pub in Norwich, needed to upgrade its mismatched and cracked service trays that were causing frustrating spills during their packed Sunday lunch service.
"These textured wood effect Cambro trays have been brilliant. They look smart, our staff carry them with much more confidence, and we’ve seen a noticeable drop in accidental drink spills. Customers have even commented on how much nicer they look."
Ben Carter – Pub Manager
The pub reported that the investment led to a significant reduction in cleaning time and glassware replacement costs, improving the overall efficiency of their floor staff during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Before first use, give the tray a quick wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.

Explore more from CambroWhat Makes the Non-Slip Surface So Effective?
Ever wondered what makes a 'non-slip' tray actually work? It's not just a fancy pattern. The surface of this textured wood effect Cambro tray is specially bonded with a tactile, high-grip material. This creates microscopic friction that holds onto the bottom of your glassware, crockery, and cutlery, stopping them from sliding around.
Think of it like the difference between a smooth-soled dress shoe and a walking boot on a wet pavement. The dress shoe might slip and slide, but the boot's textured tread grips the ground, keeping you steady. This tray's surface does exactly that for your plates and glasses, especially when there's a bit of condensation or a minor spill. It’s this clever engineering that provides the security and confidence your staff need during a fast-paced service.

- Hotel Room Service & Bars: Adds a touch of class to in-room dining deliveries and makes clearing tables in the bar area quick and safe.
- Restaurants & Gastropubs: A reliable choice for serving meals, with a look that complements both modern and rustic decor while preventing accidents.
