- Keep in Mind: The matching roll-top cover is a separate purchase, not included.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Bakery in Salisbury was looking to upgrade its countertop displays. Their traditional wicker baskets were becoming frayed, difficult to clean properly, and needed frequent replacement, which was affecting their presentation and hygiene standards.
"We needed a smarter solution. The APS baskets give us that lovely rustic look our customers expect, but they're incredibly practical. We just pop them in the dishwasher at the end of the day. They look professional, they're always clean, and they've made our front-of-house operations much smoother."
Robert Finch – Head Baker
The switch has saved the team significant cleaning time daily and has completely eliminated the cost of replacing worn-out baskets every few months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the basket and frame a quick wipe down or wash before its first use.
- Place the basket securely on top of the wire display frame.
- Position on a flat, stable surface like a countertop or buffet station.
- Arrange your bread, pastries, or fruit, and you're ready to impress!
Keeping It Going
- For daily cleaning, simply wipe with a damp, soapy cloth.
- The basket is fully commercial dishwasher safe for a more thorough clean.
- Stack them carefully when not in use to maximise storage and prevent scuffs.
- Periodically check that the frame is stable and the basket is free from any damage.

Ever wondered what 'poly-rattan' actually is? Think of it as the clever, modern cousin of traditional wicker. It's a synthetic, food-safe polymer that's expertly woven to mimic the beautiful, rustic look of natural rattan. The real magic, though, is in its performance. Imagine the difference between a classic wool jumper and modern performance fleece. Both keep you warm, but the fleece is lighter, dries in a flash, and holds its shape after countless washes. That's the upgrade poly-rattan gives you for food display. Because it's a non-porous plastic, it won't absorb moisture, oils, or odours, and crucially, it won't splinter or fray. This means no more worries about hygiene or bits of wicker ending up in the bread—just a consistently clean, safe, and attractive display.
