Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Courtyard Tearoom in Harrogate wanted to enhance its signature high-tea service to stand out in a competitive market. They switched from their plain, standard trays to the APS T765 to better reflect their traditional, high-quality offering.

"Our customers immediately noticed the difference. We started getting comments on our social media about the 'lovely presentation'. The trays are light for the team to carry but look so substantial and  elegant on the table."

Matthew Davies – Owner

The tearoom noted a clear uplift in positive online reviews mentioning presentation, contributing to a 15% increase in high-tea bookings over the following quarter.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, carefully unpack and  check the tray for any dings from its journey.
  • Before its first use, give it a quick wash with warm, soapy water and  a soft sponge.
  • Dry it immediately and  thoroughly with a microfibre cloth to prevent water spots and  keep it gleaming.

Keeping It Going

  • After each use, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any smudges or fingerprints.
  • Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch the chrome finish.
  • For an extra brilliant shine, buff the tray with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • When storing, stack them carefully. Placing a soft napkin between each tray is a great way to prevent scratches.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Tray

Not sure which tray is right for your service? Here are a few things to consider.

Size & Capacity

Think about what you'll typically serve. A 300mm oval serving tray is perfect for a pot of tea and  two cups, but you might need a larger option for bigger groups or more items.

Material Matters

Chrome-plated steel gives you that premium, silver-like aesthetic at a fraction of the cost and  weight, making it a fantastic choice for busy staff who are always on the move.

Style & Ambiance

Does the tray fit your brand's personality? An ornate, vintage-style tray is a perfect match for a traditional setting, while a sleek, minimalist design suits a more modern venue.

Practical Features

Little details make a big difference. Look for raised edges or a gallery rail to help prevent cups and  glasses from sliding, saving you from potential spills during a hectic service.

Ease of Cleaning

A smooth, high-polish finish isn't just for show; it's significantly easier to wipe clean and  keep hygienic compared to textured or matte surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this tray dishwasher safe?

A: To protect the high-polish chrome finish and  prevent water spotting, we strongly recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth.

Q: What is the tray made from?

A: It's constructed from durable steel which is then plated with a beautiful, high-polish chrome finish for that classic silver look.

Q: Will it tarnish over time like real silver?

A: No, that's one of the great benefits of chrome. It's resistant to tarnishing and  will keep its bright shine with simple, regular cleaning.

Q: Is it heavy to carry?

A: Not at all. It's designed to be very lightweight, weighing only 0.17kg, so it’s easy for staff to manage during a busy service.

A: The tray measures 300mm wide by 220mm deep, offering a generous surface for drinks and  snacks.

Q: Can it be used to serve hot food directly?

A: It’s best suited for serving drinks, pastries, sandwiches, and  canapés. We advise against placing very hot cookware directly onto the surface.

A: No, the detailing is smoothly integrated into the design, allowing you to wipe it clean easily with a cloth without any fuss.

Q: Can these trays be stacked for storage?

A: Yes, they can be stacked. For best results and  to prevent scratching the finish, we suggest placing a soft cloth or napkin between each tray.

More Than Just a Shine: The Benefit of a High-Polish Finish

You might think the brilliant, mirror-like finish on this tray is all about looks, but there’s a very practical benefit too. The ultra-smooth surface is non-porous, which is a fancy way of saying there are no tiny nooks or crannies for food particles or bacteria to hide in. Think of it like a perfectly smooth pane of glass versus a rough wooden board – spills and  crumbs have nowhere to go. This makes wiping it clean between services an absolute doddle, ensuring top-notch hygiene and  keeping your commercial chrome plated tray looking its best with minimum effort.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Boutique Hotels & B&Bs: An absolute must for upgrading your room service or breakfast-in-bed presentation.
  • Traditional Cafés & Tea Rooms: The perfect stainless steel tea tray for serving classic afternoon teas with style.
