Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Royal Pier Hotel in Aberystwyth needed to improve the speed and safety of its wedding breakfast service for up to 250 guests. Their team was making multiple, difficult trips carrying hot plates from the kitchen to the ballroom, leading to delays and potential accidents.
"The new trolleys have been brilliant. We can load them up in the kitchen and wheel everything out in one go. Service is smoother, the staff feel safer, and the food gets to the guests quicker and hotter. It just makes the whole operation look and feel more professional."
Michael Davies – Food & Beverage Manager
Since introducing the Matfer Bourgeat trolleys, the hotel has reduced its large-event serving time by an average of 15 minutes per course.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, check all castors are securely fastened to the frame.
- Give the entire unit a thorough wipe-down with a food-safe sanitiser before its first use.
- Test the wheel brakes on a clean, flat surface to ensure they engage and hold correctly.
- Measure your key doorways and tightest corners to familiarise staff with its clearance.
Keeping It Going
- Clean the trolley daily with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to prevent food build-up.
- Periodically check the wheels for any trapped debris and clean the castor housing.
- Check and tighten any bolts on the frame or bumpers every few months to ensure rigidity.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals which can damage the stainless steel finish.

It might seem like a small detail, but the brakes on two of the castors are one of this trolley's most important safety features. Think of it like a car's handbrake. You can drive without it, but you'd never want to park on a hill or leave it unattended without pulling it. In a busy kitchen, floors are often sloped for drainage or can be slippery. When you're loading a trolley with dozens of kilos of hot, heavy gastronorm pans, the last thing you want is for it to roll away unexpectedly. The brakes lock the trolley firmly in place, giving your staff a stable and secure platform to work from, preventing spills, accidents, and costly food waste.
Who Should Buy This?
