Wholesale Catering Foil — Heavy-Duty Aluminium Foil for Restaurants & Caterers

Catering foil is the heavyweight version of kitchen foil — thicker gauge, wider rolls, longer lengths, designed to handle the temperatures and physical demands of a commercial kitchen. Westbids supplies wholesale catering foil to restaurants, takeaways, event caterers and foodservice businesses across the UK, with no minimum order and next-day delivery.

What makes a foil "catering grade"

Two things separate catering foil from everyday kitchen foil. First, the gauge — typically 15 microns or above, vs 10 for standard kitchen foil. Second, the format — wider rolls (30 cm) and longer lengths (200 m) so a single roll lasts a service or a week, not a day.

The thicker gauge means the foil holds its shape when crimped over foil containers, survives high oven temperatures without tearing, and locks in moisture during reheating and transport. The wider format wraps full pans, baking trays and large items in a single sheet.

Foil widths and what to use them for

• 30 cm rolls — standard catering width, sandwiches, single portions, takeaway boxes.
• 45 cm rolls — covering full gastronorm pans, larger takeaway containers.
  
  

Where catering foil pulls its weight

• Crimping over foil containers for hot-food takeaway and home delivery
• Covering gastronorm pans during cook-chill and transport
• Sealing roasted meats and joints before resting
• Wrapping bakery items for transport between branches
  
• Lining commercial baking trays
