The Gilded Lily, a boutique cocktail bar in York, was looking to upgrade their standard plastic ice buckets to something that matched their sophisticated, speakeasy-inspired decor.
"Our customers notice the small details. Switching to this copper ice bucket with lid has genuinely elevated our tableside presentation. They look fantastic and keep the ice perfectly chilled all evening, which means better drinks and happier guests."
Leo Davies – Bar Manager
The switch resulted in a noticeable increase in positive customer comments on the bar's ambiance and attention to detail, reinforcing their premium brand identity.
Ever wondered how a good travel flask keeps your tea hot for hours? This insulated ice bucket for catering uses the exact same principle, but for keeping things cold. The 'double-wall' design means there are two separate layers of stainless steel with a sealed gap of air between them. This gap acts as a powerful insulator, dramatically slowing down heat transfer from the warm air in your bar to the ice inside the bucket. Think of it like putting a cosy puffer jacket on your ice – it stops the outside temperature from getting in, meaning far less melting, drier ice, and better quality drinks for your customers all night long.
Q: Is this made from real copper?
A: It has a strong and hygienic stainless steel core with a beautiful, polished copper plating on the outside, giving you both durability and style.
Q: Can it hold a standard-sized champagne bottle?
A: Yes, its 1-litre capacity is designed to comfortably hold a standard wine or champagne bottle surrounded by ice.
Q: Will it leave condensation rings on my tables?
A: The double-walled design provides excellent insulation which massively reduces any 'sweating' or condensation on the outer surface.
Q: Is the lid included with the Olympia DR740 ice bucket?
A: Yes, it comes complete with its own matching, insulating lid to keep ice pristine.
Q: How heavy is it to carry when full?
A: The bucket itself is very light at just 0.68kg, so even when filled with ice it's easy and comfortable to transport using the ergonomic handle.
Q: Is it safe to put in a commercial dishwasher?
A: To protect the polished copper finish from damage, we strongly recommend hand washing only with a soft cloth.
Q: What is the main benefit of the double wall?
A: It creates an air gap that acts as an insulator, keeping the ice inside frozen for significantly longer than a standard, single-walled bucket.
Q: Is the handle sturdy enough for a busy bar?
A: Absolutely. It's designed for commercial use and is securely attached to the body for safe and reliable carrying.
