Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Pie Co.' in Manchester were struggling with limited counter space, creating bottlenecks during their busy morning prep schedule. They needed a dedicated, large surface that could withstand heavy daily use from flour to fillings.

"We were practically working on top of each other. Installing the Modena table gave our bakers their own defined space. It’s sturdy, a doddle to clean, and  has made our whole morning routine smoother. It’s just a brilliant, solid bit of kit."

Robert Davies – Head Baker

The new setup allowed them to prep two different pie runs simultaneously, effectively increasing their morning production capacity by over 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before you start, lay out all the parts and  check them against the instructions to ensure nothing is missing.
  • Build the table on a flat, level surface to ensure the frame is square before fully tightening the grub screws.
  • Ask a colleague for a hand when lifting the stainless steel top onto the frame to avoid scratches.
  • Once built, use a spirit level and  adjust the bullet feet to eliminate any wobbles on your kitchen floor.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel top daily with a soft cloth and  a food-safe sanitiser.
  • For tougher grime, use a non-abrasive cream cleaner and  wipe in the direction of the steel's grain.
  • Don't forget to wipe down the galvanised legs and  undershelf to prevent dust and  dirt build-up.
  • Periodically check that all grub screws on the legs and  shelf are still tight and  secure.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Work Table

Not sure which prep table is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect match.

Upstand or No Upstand?

This is a centre table, ideal for island setups. If your table is against a wall, look for a 'wall bench' with a raised lip (upstand) to stop items from falling behind it.

Check the Steel Grade

For wet and  busy environments, 201 or 304 grade stainless steel offers much better rust protection than the cheaper 430 grade. It's a key indicator of quality and  longevity.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

Carefully measure your available space, remembering to account for workflow around the table. Ensure the 1800mm width fits comfortably without blocking walkways.

Consider What's Underneath

Galvanised steel legs and  shelves, like on this model, offer excellent strength and  value for dry storage. If you're storing items in a very damp area, consider an all-stainless steel model.

Don't Forget Weight Capacity

Think about what you'll place on the table. This model's 150kg capacity is great for general prep and  small appliances, but if you're holding very heavy machinery, check the specs first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the main difference between a centre table and  a wall bench?

A: A centre table, like this one, has no upstand, so it can be accessed from all sides. A wall bench has a raised lip at the back to place against a wall, preventing items from falling down the gap.

Q: Is this stainless steel prep table 1800mm easy to assemble?

A: Yes, it is designed for simple assembly. It's supplied flat-packed with instructions, and  basic tools are usually all that's required. We recommend two people for ease.

Q: How do I level the table if my floor isn't perfectly flat?

A: The table is fitted with adjustable plastic 'bullet' feet. You can simply screw them in or out at each corner to ensure the table is stable and  level.

Q: Can I place a heavy piece of equipment, like a mixer, on it?

A: The top shelf has a maximum weight capacity of 150kg, making it suitable for most countertop appliances. Always check your equipment's weight first.

Q: Is the height of the undershelf fixed?

A: No, the undershelf is fully adjustable. You can set its height to best suit the items you need to store, whether it's tall containers or flat trays.

Q: Why are the legs and  shelf galvanised instead of stainless steel?

A: Using galvanised steel for the frame and  undershelf provides excellent strength and  durability at a lower cost, making the table great value. It is best suited for dry storage.

Q: Can I chop directly on the stainless steel surface?

A: While the surface is very durable, we always recommend using a separate, food-safe chopping board to protect both your knives and  the table's finish.

Q: How do I clean and  maintain the stainless steel?

A: Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the steel's grain to avoid light scratches.

Why 201 Grade Stainless Steel Makes All the Difference

Ever wondered what the 'grade' of stainless steel actually means for your kitchen? Think of it like ingredients in a recipe. Cheaper tables often use 430 grade steel, which is fine, but contains less nickel. This Modena table uses 201 grade, which has a higher manganese and  nitrogen content and  a bit of nickel. In plain English, this 'recipe' makes it much tougher and  significantly more resistant to corrosion and  rust. It's like choosing marine-grade paint for a boat that lives in saltwater versus standard paint for a garden shed. In a steamy, busy kitchen with acidic ingredients and  constant cleaning, that extra resistance is what ensures your investment lasts for years, not months.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: An essential catering prep station 1800mm for chopping ingredients or as a central plating pass.
  • Bakeries & Patisseries: A large, cool surface perfect for kneading dough, decorating cakes, and  preparing pastries.
  • Busy Cafes: Ideal for organising your sandwich and  salad prep line to speed up lunch service.
  • Catering Companies: A reliable and  sturdy commercial prep bench stainless steel that's essential for any prep kitchen operation.
