Commercial sauce bottles and dispensers are essential workhorses in any professional UK kitchen—giving chefs and staff precise control over sauces, oils, and dressings. With robust plastic or stainless steel construction and capacities typically ranging from 230ml to 950ml, these handy kitchen tools make plating consistent and service nippy. After 50 years of kitting out commercial kitchens, we've seen how these dispensers transform food presentation alongside chef knives and cooking stations. Whether you're running a bustling restaurant, a trendy café, or a fast-paced food truck, the right sauce dispensers ensure your signature condiments are always delivered with perfect precision!
Mid-size (500-720ml) models balance refill frequency and handling.
Large (950ml+) bottles ideal for high-volume kitchens—fewer refills.
Tip Types and Usage
Fine tips create artistic dots and lines—pair with chef knives.
Wider nozzles handle thicker condiments like mayo or ketchup.
Consider lid types—flip-tops prevent kitchen spills between uses.
How Commercial Sauce Bottles & Dispensers Work
The beauty of sauce bottles lies in their brilliant simplicity. Most feature a squeezable body—typically made from food-grade plastic or stainless steel—with precision tips that control flow. Simply fill with your sauces, dressings, or oils, then apply gentle pressure to release the exact amount needed. Many models come with different nozzle sizes from ultra-fine for delicate garnishing to wider openings for thicker sauces. The clever design prevents cross-contamination and oxidation by limiting air exposure, while calibrated measurements on the sides help with recipe consistency. In seconds, you can apply perfect dots, drizzles, or generous portions—giving you professional-level control over every plate!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Sauce Bottles & Dispensers
To maximise your sauce bottles' performance, label them clearly and use colour-coding for quick identification during busy service. For thick sauces like mayo or aioli, cut the tips slightly wider or choose bottles specifically designed for viscous condiments. Clean thoroughly after each service—a bottle brush works wonders for stubborn residue. Store upright with caps on, and replace bottles when they become permanently stained or lose their flexibility. Consider keeping pre-prepped bottles in the fridge for service to maintain freshness.
