Collection: Kitchenware

What "commercial kitchen supplies" covers

Commercial kitchen supplies are everything that keeps a working kitchen moving — equipment, tools, tableware, consumables, and the back-of-house infrastructure operators rely on every service. The difference from domestic kitchenware is duty cycle: commercial gear is built for daily volume use, food safety compliance, and long-term durability under hard service.

Our range covers every category in the modern professional kitchen:

• Cooking equipment: ranges, ovens, fryers, grills, induction cooktops, salamanders, combi ovens — see cooking equipment.
• Refrigeration: upright fridges, freezers, prep fridges, blast chillers, display fridges, ice machines — see commercial refrigeration.
• Cookware: pots, pans, woks, stockpots, baking trays, gastronorm pans — see cookware.
• Utensils and tools: tongs, ladles, whisks, knives, spatulas, thermometers, scales — see utensils and gadgets.
• Food storage: gastronorm pans, containers, mixing bowls, ingredient bins.
• Tableware and dinnerware: plates, bowls, glassware, cutlery, servingware — see dinnerware.
• Warewashing and cleaning: commercial dishwashers, glass washers, sinks, taps, sanitisers.
• Disposables and packaging: takeaway containers, cups, napkins, foil, cling wrap.
• Chef clothing and uniforms: jackets, pants, aprons, hats, footwear.

Catering supplies for off-site and mobile service

Caterers work in a different operational reality — mobility, food transport, plating in unfamiliar venues, fast setup and breakdown. The catering supplies we carry are the kit working caterers actually reach for:

• Chafing dishes and fuel for buffet service and hot holding off-site.
• Insulated food carriers and transport boxes — keep hot food hot and cold food cold during transit.
• Buffet displays, risers, and signage for impactful presentation.
• Disposables — plates, cutlery, cups, and napkins for events and grab-and-go.
• Serving trays, platters, and display stands durable enough for off-site work.
• Trolleys and gastronorm carts for moving food efficiently between prep, transport, and service.

• Trade pricing for operators: Volume discounts for restaurants, café groups, hotels, caterers, and multi-site fit-outs — talk to us for a quote.
• Practical sizing advice: Our team knows GN sizing, kW ratings, and bench layouts — we recommend what fits your space and workflow, not what has the highest margin.
• Bundled fit-out packages: New venue or refit? We coordinate equipment lists across cooking, refrigeration, prep, and front-of-house in a single quote.
• Strong supplier relationships: Direct relationships with leading commercial brands give us stock priority, warranty backing, and accurate lead-time advice.

Kitchenware care and longevity

• Hand-wash anything with wood or rivets: Dishwasher heat splits handles and loosens rivets — hand-wash and dry standing on edge.
• Replace, don't sharpen, scarred PE boards: Deep grooves harbour bacteria — sand light scars, replace heavy ones.
• Don't use steel wool on stainless: It leaves embedded particles that rust — use nylon scourers or 3M Scotchbrite.
• Stack pans with paper between: Stainless rubs and dulls when stacked metal-on-metal — a sheet of butcher's paper between extends finish life.
• Inspect knife edges weekly: Dull knives slip and cause injury — keep a steel at every station and a stone in the kitchen.
• Track inventory monthly: Cutlery, GN pans, and small utensils walk — a monthly count flags shrinkage early.
