Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pier Hotel in Aberystwyth needed a flexible food warming solution for their new seaside terrace, which catered for weddings and private functions far from the main kitchen. They invested in six Olympia Milan chafing sets to create a versatile outdoor buffet station.
"These chafing dishes have been brilliant. They're smart, easy for the team to set up, and they keep the food perfectly warm with the sea breeze coming in. Our clients have commented on how professional the new outdoor setup looks."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The investment enabled them to expand their outdoor catering menu, contributing to a 30% increase in high-value function bookings over the summer season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Position the folding frame on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
- Fill the large water pan with approximately 1-2 inches of hot water and place it into the frame.
- Place your hot food into the smaller ½ GN food pan and lower it into the water pan.
- Light your chafing fuel, place it in the holder, and slide it safely into position under the water pan.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the entire unit to cool down completely before cleaning or moving.
- The stainless steel food pan is fully dishwasher safe for a quick and hygienic clean.
- Wipe the frame, lid, and water pan with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scourers to prevent scratches.
- Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before stacking for storage to maintain their polished finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a chafing dish used for?
A: It's a portable unit that uses a water bath heated by fuel to keep pre-cooked food warm and ready to serve, typically in a buffet setting.
Q: How much water do I put in the chafing pan?
A: A good rule of thumb is to fill the water pan with about 1-2 inches of hot water, enough to create steam without it boiling over.
Q: Can I use this for cold food?
A: Yes! Instead of hot water, you can fill the bottom pan with crushed ice to keep salads, desserts, or fruits chilled during service.
Q: How long does the chafing fuel typically last?
A: This depends on the type of fuel and the flame setting, but most standard canisters will burn for between 2 and 6 hours.
Q: Is this Milan CN607 buffet server easy to transport?
A: Absolutely. The frame has integrated carry handles, and the entire unit is designed to be moved and set up easily for events.
Q: Is the food pan oven safe?
A: Yes, the stainless steel food pan is designed to be oven safe, allowing you to cook in it and transfer it directly to the chafing frame.
Q: What does ½ GN mean?
A: GN stands for Gastronorm, a standard European sizing system for kitchen containers. A ½ GN pan is a specific, widely used size.
Q: How do I prevent food from drying out?
A: The water pan is the key! It creates moist steam heat. Just ensure the water level is maintained and doesn't boil dry during long services.

Explore more from OlympiaHow Fuel-Powered Warming Keeps Food Perfect
Ever wondered how a simple flame can keep a curry creamy or veg crisp-tender for hours? It's not magic, it's a clever system called a 'bain-marie', or water bath. The chafing fuel doesn't heat your food pan directly. Instead, it heats the larger pan of water underneath. This creates a pocket of hot steam that gently and evenly envelops the food pan. Think of it like a gentle hot tub for your food, not a roaring bonfire. This moist heat is the secret—it stops dishes from drying out, sticking, or scorching at the bottom, which is a common problem with direct heat. It ensures the last serving is just as delicious as the first.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotel & Function Venues: Perfect for keeping breakfast items, sauces, and buffet mains at a consistent temperature for guests.
- Mobile & Event Caterers: Its fuel-based heating offers complete portability for weddings, festivals, and corporate events outdoors.
- Restaurants & Pubs: An essential for Sunday carveries or special buffet nights, ensuring vegetables and gravies stay hot.
- Community Centres & Canteens: A professional and safe way to serve large groups at events without needing complex electrical setups.
