Gastronorm pans and other catering stuff

[David A]

Where’s best ie cheapest but not c**p for things like gastronorm pans ? It’s for some stuff that will be used 2-3 times a year or more for bbqs/parties etc and the odd item where a proper thing will be better than John lewis pretty stuff.

Also I’m after a thing to put pizza ingredients/toppings in for the next diy pizza day we have - these are usually minimum 25 people so need to be a bit more organised than the plates of stuff last year

Nisbets? They stock most catering stuff.

Yup have spent lots there over the years just wondering if there is somewhere better I should look at.

Go for "heavy duty" to aviod them buckling under direct heat. Few quid extra but a load less hassle.

These guys have the same ranges as Nisbets but are normally a bit cheaper. I get the impression they are somehow linked as they even have the same product codes.

Watch out for clearance lines, you can pick up crockery very cheaply and for pizza toppings either treat yourself to a couple of pizza topping stations off Amazon or lots of 2 litre tubs for larger quantities.

Thanks will have a look. For the pizza toppings I was think long to use 1/6 gastronorms on a rail then I’ve a few more bits that are multi purpose ?

I’ve already got some chafing / Bain Marie set things with full size gastros.

I used to have a couple of the wire gastro stands but they're not very big. Depends how many toppings you have I guess and how much you need.

I'm tight, I just use plastic tubs.
