food trolley

Rolling service cart

A food trolley is a wheeled cart used to transport and serve meals, typically in hospitals, airplanes, or hotels.

In healthcare settings, food trolleys move from room to room delivering patient meals.

On aircraft, flight attendants push them down the aisle: The food trolley blocked the way to the lavatory.
