What is a cover or roll top cover?

A cover or roll-top cover is a type of cover often used on buffets, chafing dishes and buffet displays. It is a practical and aesthetic device for presenting and maintaining the temperature of food in the catering industry.

The roll-top lid is designed to fold or slide back, allowing easy access to food and dishes without having to completely remove the lid. This is achieved by a rotary or sliding movement on a shaft. When closed, the roll-top lid helps to maintain the temperature of the food by keeping heat and moisture inside the container.

This type of cover is ideal for buffets and self-service catering, allowing customers to serve themselves easily while protecting food and meals from outside contamination. Its sleek, professional appearance is suitable for high-end catering environments. By reducing the need to handle the lid each time it is used, the roll-top design contributes to improved hygiene by minimising direct hand contact.

Roll top covers

Roll top covers are available in round or gastronorm sizes, GN 1/1 and GN 1/2 sizes. They are often referred to as roll top covers.

They can be used on trays, cold buffets (small refrigerated display cases) and also on baskets which have a metal frame to hold them in place. The cover protects the food and ensures perfect hygiene at the table, on a buffet, on a serving trolley, etc.

The roll-top cover protects the food on your trays and baskets while still allowing you to see what's inside. Unlike fixed covers and lids, you don't have to remove it to serve yourself. It's an indispensable ally for your buffet and restaurant!  They are often made from a transparent material that can withstand high temperatures, making them dishwasher safe.

Tilting covers

The roll-top cloche is also known as a tilting cloche because it opens to one side at 90°.

It is sold with cold buffet sets, bread and pastry baskets or individually.

There is also a foldable GN 1/1 cloche that can be fitted to chafing dishes, containers, trays or GN 1/1 baskets.

Buffet Plus also offers a transparent domed cloche in GN 1/1 format, either completely closed or with a front or side opening.

The range also includes round roll top covers with a choice of diameters and GN roll top covers.
