A temperature controlled food serving having at least one channel (9) of thermally conductive material for receiving at least one food-holding pan (5). The at least one channel (9) defines an elongate pan receiving cavity for placement of the at least one food-holding pan (5) at any desired location along the cavity. The at least one channel (9) comprises at least one layer of a group of layers including a heat conductive layer (25), an outer heat sink layer (29), and an inner layer (31) for protecting the heat conductive layer (25). A temperature control system comprises at least one heating element (45) for heating the at least one channel (9) to maintain food products held in the food-holding pans (5) at a food holding temperature. The at least one channel may have at least two different temperature zones extending lengthwise of the channel wherein food products in different temperature zones can be held at different food holding temperatures.
