Use good quality products

Use freshly drawn 100°c boiling water to energise the flavour of your beverage

Use 1 tea bag or a click of coffee for each cup to be served

Allow the tea to brew 60 seconds before serving, or longer if you like it strong

Add milk in last if desired







Recognising the importance of good hydration and how providing patients with hot beverages served at their bedside just to their needs, Quality Hospital Solutions was tasked by City Hospitals Sunderland to come up with an innovative idea of how this could be achieved.
The Beverage Trolley was designed, tested, refined and tested again and again by NHS staff until it perfectly fitted their needs. Today the hospital has 36 Beverage Trolleys in operation, delivering the perfect cuppa to their patients’ bedside.
We have introduced the Beverage trolley into our units and it has totally transformed the tea round task. It is so easy to use and look very professional. Company great to work with, listen and design bespoke for your area. Totally recommend.

Inefficiencies and safety implications of delivering hot drinks to staff working in the open plan office area of Wren Kitchen’s brand-new state of the art manufacturing facility in Hull lead the company to contact Quality Hospital Solutions. Having seen the double boiler Beverage Trolley design and realising their opportunity to incorporate their branding on the side panels, the company purchased 5 bespoke trolleys.
“I found QHS to be very helpful and supportive of us at Wren to get our hospitality going. The trolleys are very well built and very easy to push around. The After Sales service is great, so we will be buying more this year.”

When BET365 opened its new headquarters in Stoke, the company wanted to overcome the inefficiencies in supplying 1000 staff with a quality hot beverage. Static machines were logistically inefficient, as they wanted to serve beverages to their staff at their desk but needed to ensure consistency in temperature and choice. There was no existing beverage trolley available globally with sufficient water capacity and as only single operator trolleys they were too slow for the company’s needs.
Quality Hospital Solutions work with the project team to look cycle time calculations, cooling rates and process studies implementation studies which lead to the design of a bespoke double boiler, double operator trolley.
Bet365 bought 11 customised Beverage Trolleys allowing catering staff to work from each side of the trolley, speeding up the time it took them to deliver a hot cuppa to their call centre staff.
The Beverage Trolley is a great asset to our carefacility enjoyed by staff and residents alike. Residents now receive one-on-one care and attention whenever they need a hot drink. They also seem to enjoy the drinks a lot more. The staff find drink preparation easier. One member can use the Beverage Trolley to deliver hot drinks to all residents, and they don’t have to stop and re-boil the kettle or carry multiple drinks at once. Feedback is 100% positive.
