Chopping Boards for UK Kitchens That Don’t Compromise on Hygiene
There's something reassuring about a reliable chopping board. It will not move. It cannot slip. It will speed you up. And above all, it will keep your kitchen in order and secure. Whether dicing onions in the high-street takeaway or slicing meat for the Sunday roast rush, a trusty chopping board is more than just an instrument. It's a requirement for the kitchen.
We at Catering Base supply chopping boards made for actual kitchens. The type where speed is the aim, mess is inevitable, and cleanliness is not a preference. Our boards are functional, washable, and constructed to deal with the everyday drudgery of a working kitchen.
Choosing the Right Chopping Board for Your Kitchen
Not all chopping boards are equal. Some are too lightweight. Some retain odours. Others just don't last when you're preparing for hours. That's why you should select a board that suits your environment, your rate, and the nature of the food you're preparing.
Size matters
We provide big and extra-large chopping boards that leave you with elbow room. When you're prepping in quantities, there's no worse experience than pieces of meat or veg dribbling down the sides of a small board. A wide surface is faster prep and less cleanup.
Going solo or getting a set
Need only one board for your grill station? Or a pack to maintain raw and ready-to-eat food separate? We've got both. Sets of chopping boards are perfect for organised kitchens, particularly where different staff man different stations. You know precisely what board is for what.
Strong, stable, and safe
All of our chopping boards are constructed of commercial-grade plastic. That's no splinters, no absorption, and no warping. They're rugged, sanitary, and durable enough for everyday use.
Typical applications:
- Raw meat preparation
- Chopping vegetables
- Dairy and bakery prep stations
- Sandwich and salad bars
Whether you're on breakfast duty or manning dinner service, we have a chopping board to suit your operation.
Built for Commercial Hygiene and Everyday Speed
Professional kitchens in the UK follow strict food safety rules, and chopping boards play a big part in that. Our plastic boards are designed to support those standards.
Easy to clean
Just rinse, scrub, and you’re good to go. Our boards are dishwasher-safe, non-porous, and don’t hold on to smells or stains. That makes them perfect for kitchens that move fast but still care about cleanliness.
Slip-resistant and solid
You don't have time to mess around with boards floating about as you chop. Our line comes in versions with grip appeal and added weight so they remain on any countertop.
Colour-coded for safety
We make it easy. Red boards for raw meat. White boards for dairy, bakery, or general prep. This makes it easier to prevent cross-contamination and keep your food safe.
We operate to UK kitchen cleanliness standards, which advise using differently coloured chopping boards for various foods. With only red and white, you're still working smarter.
Why Colour Coding Makes a Big Difference
In hectic kitchens, individuals don't necessarily have the time to double-check where that was just chopped. Colour coding is the answer. It's a simple-to-read visual indicator that keeps your consumers safe and gets your kitchen into food safety regulations.
What the colours mean
Red chopping board: Typically reserved for raw meats such as beef, lamb, and pork.
White chopping board: Used regularly for dairy, bakery, and bread products. Also as a general-purpose board in most UK kitchens.
Although you only have two colours, you're addressing a broad selection of prep requirements. By limiting yourself to the appropriate board for the appropriate type of food, you're preventing the transmission of bacteria from raw to ready-to-eat food.
It's all about creating habits that safeguard your staff and your visitors. And with color-coded boards, one less to think about in the chaos.
