Mini Fry Baskets

Mini Fry Baskets for Front of House

Mini fry baskets help fried sides reach the table looking neat and under control. Staff use mini fry baskets many times during a shift, so weight, handles and balance matter more than most people realise. When the baskets feel steady, service feels calmer and plates move faster.

How Fry Baskets Support Service

These baskets give fries, onion rings and other small bites a fixed space on the plate. Food stays upright and doesn’t spread across the dish. That makes it easier for staff to carry and easier for guests to see what they are getting.

Daily Use In A Busy Venue

Mini baskets get handled a lot. They move from the pass to the table, then straight back to the wash area. Pieces that clean down quickly save time during table turns. A basket with a firm base and a handle that feels comfortable can make a long shift feel easier.

Matching Baskets To Your Menu

Deeper fry baskets work well for fuller portions or sides that move around. Shallower shapes suit lighter servings or when the basket sits inside another dish. Most teams work out which size and shape fits after a few services, once they see how the food behaves on the plate.
