Frequently asked questions

Event margins live in tray counts, cover carton accuracy, and whether your stainless survives another season. These are the questions ops teams actually ask before signing off another van pack from Devon.

How we talk about hygiene and metal

We sell empty pans, tongs, trays, and protective wear — never ingredients, garnishes, or chilled ready meals. If a page references “service”, read it as hand-off mechanics, not menu planning.

Carton counts on disposables are stated as packed at source — spot-check opening weights on receipt because courier drops can crush corners without changing pair tallies inside.

Stainless care stays your responsibility on site — follow detergent supplier sheets and avoid chloride-heavy soaks that pit 18/0 surfaces over a winter season.

  • Match gastronorm purchases to existing rack labels before mixing brands in the same well.
  • Rotate shoe cover cartons by batch sticker — oldest stock first near entrance control points.
  • Photograph tray damage on delivery before signing clean PODs when metal arrives shifted.

Orders, VAT, and dispatch

Practical answers — refresh during bank-holiday weeks when carriers publish blackout windows.

Yes — mainland quotes default in checkout; Highlands, islands, and NI may need manual courier uplifts emailed before payment capture.

When warehouse slots allow we will confirm by email; otherwise everything leaves via tracked pallet or parcel per carton cube.

Invoices reference BAY CATERING EQUIPMENT SOLUTIONS LTD and company number 12803862 with the Pencarrow Road address — attach to your purchase ledger as usual.

No — our SKUs bundle predictable metal gauges and known case counts; ad-hoc marketplace listings rarely match spec line-for-line.

Email photos within 48 hours with outer carton shots — we replace or credit when finish failure clearly predates first use.

They are industrial-packed, not gamma-sterilised — align with your QA policy for food-contact glove grades on site.

Email a monthly matrix — we will quote standing replenishment where stock depth allows without cutting other contracts short.

We do not operate a loan pool — order single units if you need a live trial before scaling tray counts.

Stainless habits that pay off

Small routines reduce pitting and angry finance reviews at year-end inventory.

Dry after machine exit

Towel-dry pans before stacking hot cupboards — trapped steam drives spotting on brushed finishes.

Separate chlorine washes

Keep bleach programmes for dedicated linen; chlorides aerosolise and settle on cooled metal overnight.

Pad tray stacks in transit

Use honeycomb sheets between handled trays in lorries — weld ears dent if boxes slide on sharp braking.

Log tong coating checks

Rotate black tong stock by purchase date — first-in panels chip faster if stored against abrasive crate walls.
