The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby was struggling with kitchen congestion during the summer rush. Moving hot pans from their combi oven to the plating station was causing dangerous bottlenecks.
"This 20 shelf gastronorm trolley was a breath of fresh air for our kitchen. We can now load an entire service worth of roasted veg and potatoes onto it, wheel it over, and have it right where we need it. It's cut out so much back-and-forth, making service calmer and safer."
Ffion Morgan – Head Chef
The bistro successfully reduced kitchen traffic during service by 50%, leading to faster plating and fewer staff getting in each other's way.
You might not give them a second thought, but the two braked castors on this trolley are a crucial safety feature. Think of them as the handbrake on your car. You wouldn't dream of parking on a slope without it, and you shouldn't leave a trolley loaded with 80kg of hot food without being able to lock it securely in place. During a chaotic service, a slight nudge or an uneven floor can send a free-wheeling trolley gliding away, creating a serious hazard. These brakes allow you to anchor the trolley exactly where you need it – next to the oven, by the pass, or in the walk-in fridge – giving you a stable, reliable platform to work from and complete peace of mind.
