The Anchor & Compass Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed a better way to move prepped fish and sides from their small prep station to the fryers during the busy summer tourist season. Manually carrying trays was slow and led to occasional near-misses.
"Our old system was just carrying trays by hand, which was slow and risky. This trolley has organised our entire workflow. We can load it up and have everything ready to go, which is essential when the orders are flying in."
David Chen – Head Chef
The new trolley helped them reduce prep-to-cook time by nearly 30% during peak service, allowing for faster turnarounds and less stress for the kitchen team.
Seeing 'flat-pack' might make you think of complicated furniture, but for commercial equipment, it's a genuinely clever feature. A flat-packed design means the trolley is shipped more efficiently and safely, which reduces both the delivery cost and the risk of it arriving with dents or scrapes. Think of it like a brand-new bike: it arrives protected in a compact box, and with a few simple steps, it’s built and ready to go in minutes. This stainless steel gastronorm trolley is just the same – the straightforward assembly means it’s ready for service in no time, without the headache of trying to manoeuvre a fully-built trolley through tight kitchen doorways and corridors.
Q: What size gastronorm pans does this trolley hold?
A: It's specifically designed for 1/1 GN pans but is also perfectly compatible with 1/2, 1/3, and 2/3 GN sizes, making it extremely versatile for a mixed-use kitchen.
Q: Is the Vogue GG498 gastronorm trolley difficult to assemble?
A: Not at all. It's delivered flat-packed with clear instructions and all the necessary fittings. Most people have it built and ready for service in around 15-20 minutes with basic tools.
Q: How sturdy is it once assembled?
A: It's very sturdy. The stainless steel construction and secure bolts create a rigid frame designed to safely transport seven fully loaded gastronorm pans without wobbling.
Q: What are the wheels like on different floor types?
A: The trolley features four strong, non-marking castor wheels that are designed for smooth movement on typical commercial kitchen flooring like non-slip vinyl, tile, and concrete.
Q: Can the shelves be adjusted or removed?
A: The shelf runners are fixed at an 80mm spacing to ensure maximum stability and uniform support for your gastronorm pans. They are not designed to be adjustable.
Q: How do I clean the trolley effectively?
A: A simple daily wipe-down with warm, soapy water is usually sufficient. For a deeper clean, a food-safe stainless steel cleaner will restore its shine and ensure perfect hygiene.
Q: Are the brakes easy to use?
A: Yes, the two front castors are fitted with simple foot-operated brakes. They are easy to engage and disengage, and lock the trolley firmly in place for safe loading.
Q: What are the bumpers for?
A: The small bumpers on the frame are a great feature to help protect your walls, doorways, and other expensive equipment from accidental knocks and scrapes as you move around.
