Difference bt UK / Euro / US speed racks and sheet trays

[laurenu]

I’m working on a US-based cooking show shooting in London right now and am having the hardest time sourcing equipment. We had carnets full of stuff shipped over from the states and the biggest problem is that our sheet trays don’t fit the rented speed racks here. Can any bakers with experience abroad help? I need to buy all new sheets but it doesn’t look like full sheets exist here. I’ve also been told by a local chef that there’s a distinction to be made between UK and Euro-sized speeds, and that the Euro ones will fit both sheets (which I understand are called baking trays here) and hotels. Please help!

Also, any bakery or patisserie recs for my days off are welcome!

That's a huge equipment headache! Try contacting professional kitchen suppliers or wholesale stores for the right size speed racks and sheet trays. Other forum members might have bakery recommendations for your downtime in London too. Good luck with the shoot!
