Portioning & Food-to-Go

Food Pots & Containers for Catering

Food pots provide a convenient way to portion, serve and package a wide variety of foods. Choosing an appropriately sized container can make food easier to handle while helping businesses maintain consistent portions and present products effectively.

Our range includes portion pots, soup containers and ice cream pots, with different capacities available for everything from small servings and accompaniments through to larger individual portions.

Portion Pots for Sauces, Dips & Small Servings

Small portion pots are a versatile packaging option for catering and food-to-go businesses. Our range includes 50ml, 80ml and 100ml portion pots, providing a choice of capacities for different serving requirements.

They are useful where smaller quantities of food need to be portioned separately, helping businesses select packaging that's more appropriate to the amount being served.

Some portion pots are available with lids, while compatible lids are sold separately for other products, so always check the individual product information before ordering.

Soup Containers

For larger portions, the range includes 8oz, 12oz and 16oz soup containers, providing several capacities to suit different serving sizes.

Compatible lids are also available for the 8oz, 12oz and 16oz containers, allowing businesses to select a suitable combination for their serving requirements.

When selecting containers for soup or other hot foods, check the individual product specification for its intended use and make sure any separately purchased lid is compatible with your chosen container.

Ice Cream Pots & Containers

Our range of ice cream pots and containers provides options for individual servings as well as larger quantities.

Current sizes include 3oz, 8oz and 12oz ice cream pots, alongside a larger reusable 1.2 litre ice cream container and compatible lid.

Different capacities allow ice cream shops, dessert businesses, cafés and caterers to select packaging that better matches the portions and products they offer.

Buying Guide

Choosing the Right Food Pot

Start by considering what you're serving and the portion size you require. A small portion pot may be appropriate for sauces, dips and other accompaniments, while soups, desserts and larger servings will generally require greater capacity.

Food type
Required capacity
Hot, chilled or frozen use
Container dimensions
Pack quantity
Lid compatibility

You should also consider whether a lid is required. Where pots and lids are sold separately, make sure they're designed to work together rather than choosing solely by their stated diameter or capacity.

Check before ordering: a lid with a similar stated size is not necessarily compatible with every container. Where lids are sold separately, check the individual product information for the correct matching pot or container.

Finally, check the individual product specification for capacity, dimensions, material, pack quantity, temperature suitability and intended use. This is particularly important where containers will be used with hot, chilled or frozen foods.
