Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a popular seaside café in Whitby, wanted to refresh its tabletop look to stand out from local competitors. They swapped out their standard ceramic bowls for the Olympia chip buckets to better match their coastal, rustic theme.

"Our customers absolutely love them. We constantly see people taking photos of their food, and  the buckets look fantastic online. They're sturdy, easy for the team to handle, and  have really added to the atmosphere we wanted to create."

Ben Carter – Owner, The Salty Squid

The simple switch helped boost their social media engagement, with customer photo tags increasing significantly within the first month.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Upon arrival, give each bucket a wash with warm, soapy water and  dry thoroughly before first use.
  • Always place a food-safe liner, such as greaseproof paper, inside the bucket before adding food.
  • Ensure you have a good stock of liners cut to a suitable size for quick service.
  • The handle is fixed and  requires no assembly.

Keeping It Perfect

  • Hand wash only. These buckets are not suitable for dishwashers as harsh chemicals can damage the finish.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or steel wool, which can scratch the galvanised coating.
  • Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and  maintain its appearance.
  • Stack carefully to avoid scratching or denting the pails.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Presentationware

Not sure if this is the right fit for your tables? Here are a few things to consider when choosing how to present your food.

Match Your Vibe

Does the rustic, industrial look of this pail fit with your restaurant's overall theme? Presentationware should complement your brand, whether it's modern, traditional, or quirky.

Get the Portion Right

Consider what you'll be serving. This bucket is ideal for a generous single portion of sides. For sharing platters or smaller bites, you might need different sizes.

Think of Your Team

How easy is the item for your staff to carry, serve, and  clear? Lightweight items with handles, like this small stainless steel chip serving pot, can speed up service and  reduce fatigue.

Durability is Key

In a commercial setting, items need to be tough. Galvanised steel is great for resisting dents and  dings, ensuring a long service life and  a better return on your investment.

Is it 'Instagrammable'?

In today's market, unique presentation can be a powerful marketing tool. Choosing items that look great in photos can lead to valuable user-generated content for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I really have to use a paper liner with this bucket?

A: Yes, absolutely. For food safety and  hygiene, the galvanised steel surface should not come into direct contact with food. A simple greaseproof paper liner is essential.

Q: Is this bucket dishwasher safe?

A: No, we strongly recommend hand washing only. The high temperatures and  harsh detergents in a commercial dishwasher can damage the galvanised finish over time.

Q: What is the actual capacity? Can it hold a large portion of chips?

A: It has a capacity of 1.175 litres, which is ideal for a generous single serving of chunky chips, fries, or onion rings.

Q: Is the handle strong enough to carry it when full?

A: Yes, the handle is securely attached and  designed to be sturdy enough for carrying a full portion from the kitchen to the table safely.

Q: What kind of foods can I serve in it?

A: It's perfect for dry, fried foods like chips, onion rings, scampi, chicken wings, or even for serving bread rolls.

Q: Is it heavy?

A: Not at all. It weighs only 140 grams, making it very lightweight and  easy for staff to handle during a busy service.

Q: Can I use this for wet foods like coleslaw or baked beans?

A: We would advise against it. Even with a liner, it's designed for dry foods to ensure the best presentation and  product longevity.

Q: Are they stackable for storage?

A: They are not designed to nest perfectly inside one another, but they can be stacked with care to help save on shelf space.

Why Galvanised Steel Creates That Perfect Rustic Look

Ever wondered what gives this bucket its charming, slightly industrial feel? It comes from the material: galvanised steel. But what does that actually mean? In simple terms, it's strong steel that's been dipped in a protective coating of zinc. Think of it like a tough, rust-proof raincoat that shields the steel from the elements and  gives it that distinctive matte, silvery finish.

This is why it’s so durable and  resistant to knocks and  scrapes in a busy restaurant. It’s also why you must use a food-safe liner, like greaseproof paper. The liner acts as a barrier, keeping your food safe and  hygienic while the galvanised steel provides the strength and  style on the outside. It's the best of both worlds – you get a product that looks fantastic and  lasts for ages, without compromising on food safety.
