Abstract: A tray-cooler combination for positioning upon a surface, such as a patio table, about an upwardly extending projection, such as an umbrella pole. The tray-cooler combination includes upper and lower tray members, each having a central aperture, an outer peripheral edge and a radial opening extending between the central aperture and the peripheral edge. The upper tray member may include a plurality of interior compartments for receiving items such as vegetables and dips, condiments, etc. The upper tray member may also be releasably attached to the lower tray member. When joined in combination, the lower tray member can hold ice or other cooling means cool or chill the contents of the upper tray member. Closure members can also be provided to close the radial slots in each tray member to, in combination with the tray member, define the central aperture in which an umbrella pole or the like is received.
