Folding Table 80 cm for Indoor and Outdoor Use

A folding work surface that sets up in seconds and stores flat, the BHS 80 cm table gives catering teams a stable platform indoors or out. The circular top unfolds from a compact bundle into a full 80 cm diameter work area, while the painted steel frame locks into position without tools. Once open, the table stands 1100 mm high—standard worktop height—so staff can prep, plate or serve without bending.

The table relies on a simple scissor mechanism: two pairs of hinged legs cross beneath the top and are held apart by a central locking bar. When the bar is released, the legs fold inward and the top can be lowered onto them, halving the table's height for storage or transport. The same mechanism keeps the table rigid while in use, so it does not wobble under the weight of trays, chafing dishes or buffet displays.

To use the table, the operator lifts the top until the legs snap into their open position, then checks that the locking bar is engaged. The table is now ready to receive equipment or food. When the event ends, the bar is released, the legs fold, and the table can be carried by its frame or stacked with others of the same size. The entire sequence takes less than a minute and requires no tools or assembly.

The top is made of polyethylene, a material that resists moisture, grease and UV light, so it does not warp or fade when left outdoors. The steel components are painted to prevent rust and are joined with corrosion-resistant fittings. Together, these materials give the table a neutral appearance—a white top with a grey frame—that suits both professional kitchens and outdoor events.

Controls are limited to the central locking bar, which the operator presses to release the legs and folds the table. No electrical supply or adjustment is needed.

The table's 800 mm width and depth provide a compact footprint that fits through standard doorways and into vans. At 8 kg, it can be carried by one person, yet the construction is strong enough to support buffet service or food prep. The 1100 mm height matches standard worktops, so staff can work at the same level as on fixed counters. The 8 kg weight also means the table can be moved frequently without strain, making it practical for venues that reconfigure spaces daily.

Cleaning is straightforward: the polyethylene top can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent, while the painted steel frame is cleaned with the same solution. No disassembly is required, and the materials do not absorb odours or stains. The table's resistance to weather and UV light means it can be left outdoors between uses without damage.
