Parry AG4H Four-Burner Gas Hob Unit

The Parry AG4H is a four-burner gas hob designed for commercial catering use. It runs on natural gas or LPG — supplied with a conversion kit and set to LPG as standard — and connects via a standard ¾ BSP fitting. The unit can be positioned as a countertop piece or mounted on a separate floor stand, which gives a useful degree of flexibility when fitting it into an existing kitchen layout.

In service, this type of hob works well where consistent, controllable heat across four burners is the priority. Variable controls allow chefs to manage different cooking tasks simultaneously without interference between stations, and the flame failure device cuts the gas supply automatically if a burner extinguishes — a standard safety requirement in commercial environments. The enamelled pan supports are robust enough for daily use and straightforward to lift out for cleaning at the end of service.

Operators commonly find this unit well suited to:

• Smaller restaurant, café, or bistro kitchens needing a practical gas cooking solution
• Mobile catering setups where LPG is the primary fuel source
• Supplementary hob capacity during a kitchen refurbishment or phased fit-out
• Sites where a natural gas supply is already in place and conversion is straightforward

Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and adequate ventilation in line with current regulations is required. If the unit is to sit on an existing worksurface rather than a dedicated stand, it is worth confirming that the surface can bear the load before committing to a position.

This unit is best suited to lower- to mid-volume operations. Kitchens running continuous high-volume service across long shifts may find a heavier-duty range or higher-output hob a more practical long-term investment.
