Buffalo Cooking Equipment

The Buffalo 600 Series four-zone induction hob is a countertop unit built for professional kitchens that want the precision and efficiency of induction cooking without the complexity of a full range installation. It operates across four independent cooking zones, each with eleven power levels, giving the chef close control over heat at every stage of service — from a rapid boil through to a steady simmer. A boost function is available across all zones when additional output is needed quickly.

In a busy kitchen environment, induction has a practical advantage over gas and traditional electric: heat is generated directly in the pan rather than the surrounding surface. This keeps the cook line cooler, takes some load off the ventilation system, and reduces the ambient heat that builds up during long service periods. Recovery between cooking loads is quick, which matters during peak covers when zones are in continuous use.

From an operational standpoint, the 600 Series hob offers a number of day-to-day advantages:

• Ceramic glass surface is straightforward to wipe down — no grates, burners, or trapped grease
• No open flame reduces extraction requirements compared with equivalent gas output
• Eleven power levels per zone support precise cooking across a wide range of menu items
• Lower residual surface heat improves safety on a busy cook line
• Designed to integrate with other 600 Series units for a consistent cook line layout

The unit requires a hardwired electrical connection and should be installed by a qualified electrician before use. It is 600mm wide, which means it sits neatly on 600 Series cupboard bases from the same range or can be used as a standalone countertop appliance — useful where kitchen layout or space is a constraint. Induction cooking requires compatible ferromagnetic cookware; any existing aluminium or copper pans will not work with this hob, which is worth confirming before purchase.

This hob is well suited to small to medium operations — cafés, bistros, pub kitchens, and contract catering environments where a reliable, easy-to-clean induction station is needed without committing to a full induction range. For higher-volume sites running continuous service across multiple zones simultaneously, a heavier-duty unit with greater combined output may be a more appropriate fit.

If you are unsure whether this model is the right match for your kitchen's service volume or existing setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Buffalo doughnut fryer is a dedicated countertop fryer designed specifically for producing ring doughnuts and similar fried dough products in a commercial setting. It operates with a 14.5-litre oil tank and a 3kW heating element, and includes a digital programmable timer with an alarm function to help operators maintain consistent cook cycles. While it is optimised for doughnuts, the adjustable temperature control means it can handle a broader range of fried foods where the operation requires it.

In practice, this fryer suits operations where doughnuts are produced in regular batches rather than in continuous high-volume runs. The 3kW element supports reasonable recovery between batches, though operators running very large or back-to-back volumes should consider whether a higher-output unit would better meet their throughput requirements. The digital timer reduces reliance on operator judgement for consistent results, which is particularly useful in environments with varying staff experience levels.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the design includes a number of practical features worth noting:

• Digital programmable timer with alarm for consistent cook cycles
• Adjustable temperature control for flexibility across different products
• Drain tap for straightforward oil changes and cleaning
• Sloped draining shelf to manage oil runoff and improve product finish
• Slip-resistant feet for stable countertop placement during service

Installation is straightforward — this is a standard 13A plug-in unit, so no dedicated electrical supply or extraction infrastructure is required beyond a suitable countertop surface and adequate ventilation in the kitchen. Its compact footprint makes it a practical addition to bakery counters, café prep areas, and event catering setups without significant space planning.

This fryer is well suited to independent bakeries, coffee shops, market traders, and catering operations where doughnuts are a regular menu item but not the sole focus of production. For sites where doughnut output is the primary commercial activity or volumes are particularly high, a heavier-duty dedicated fryer with greater capacity may be worth exploring.

If you're unsure whether this fryer will meet your production volumes or want to talk through how it fits into your existing kitchen setup, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Buffalo 23-litre free-standing gas fryer is a twin-basket, single-tank unit built for continuous frying in commercial kitchen environments. Three vertical cast iron burners deliver strong, even heat across the tank, and the unit runs on natural gas as standard with an LPG conversion kit included for sites without a natural gas supply.

In busy service periods, recovery time is one of the most important performance factors for any fryer. The cast iron burner configuration on this unit supports fast heat recovery between batches, making it a practical choice for kitchens that cannot afford to slow service while the oil returns to temperature. The adjustable thermostat allows operators to set consistent temperatures across different menu items, and a high-limit safety cut-out helps prevent oil overheating during extended service.

From an operational standpoint, this fryer offers several day-to-day advantages worth noting:

• Large cold zone at the base of the tank reduces food particle scorching, helping extend oil life and lower running costs
• Built-in drain valve simplifies oil removal for cleaning and safe disposal
• Stainless steel tank construction supports thorough end-of-day cleaning
• Mounted on castors for straightforward repositioning and access during servicing

Installation requires a gas supply connection by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The unit is free-standing and should be positioned beneath a suitable extraction canopy in line with ventilation requirements. As with any free-standing gas fryer, allow adequate clearance at the sides and rear. This is a floor-standing unit, so sufficient floor space and a level, non-combustible surface are prerequisites.

This fryer is well suited to pubs, takeaways, cafés, and mid-sized restaurant kitchens with consistent frying demand throughout service. It sits at a practical capacity point for operations serving moderate volumes. For very high-throughput sites or operations running multiple fryer stations simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity or multiple-tank configuration would better match the demand.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen's output or gas supply setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Buffalo 20-litre free standing electric fryer is a twin-basket floor model designed for commercial kitchens that need consistent frying output through a busy service. It operates on a single large tank divided for dual-basket use, allowing different products to be cooked simultaneously without cross-contamination of flavours — useful in any kitchen with a varied fried menu.

In practice, the fryer performs reliably across the kind of continuous demand found in pub kitchens, canteens, and mid-sized restaurant operations. The 12kW heating element supports reasonable recovery times between batches, meaning oil temperature drops less sharply after loading and returns to temperature quickly enough to keep service moving. It is not positioned as a high-volume output fryer, but for steady, consistent frying through a lunch or evening service it handles the workload well.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Twin baskets allow separate cooking of different products at the same time
• Hinged elements lift clear of the tank, making cleaning and draining straightforward
• Stainless steel construction throughout holds up under daily commercial use
• Free standing installation gives flexibility in kitchen layout
• Straightforward controls reduce training time for kitchen staff

Installation requires a suitable three-phase or high-amperage single-phase electrical supply — this is worth confirming with your electrician before ordering, as the power draw is significant. The unit should be positioned with adequate clearance for ventilation and positioned under or near a canopy extraction system in line with kitchen ventilation regulations. Consider the floor space footprint carefully in tighter kitchens.

This fryer suits operations with a regular but not exceptionally high demand for fried food — a pub serving food throughout the day, a school or workplace canteen, or a small to mid-sized restaurant kitchen. For sites running very high volumes or requiring continuous back-to-back output, a heavier-duty model with a larger tank or higher power rating may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller operations, a countertop fryer may be sufficient without the floor space commitment.

If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Buffalo 600 Series is a countertop electric fryer with a single 8-litre tank, designed for commercial kitchens operating on a standard single-phase supply. It runs from a hardwired 230V connection and draws 6kW, which gives it enough thermal output to handle regular frying through a busy service without relying on three-phase infrastructure — a practical advantage in smaller sites where three-phase power isn't available or would be costly to install.

In service, the fryer performs reliably across the kind of menu staples that define its target use: chips, chicken portions, seafood, battered products, and doughnuts. The 8-litre oil capacity is appropriate for moderate-volume output — it won't keep pace with a high-throughput fish and chip shop running multiple tanks, but it's well suited to a café kitchen, small restaurant, or pub that needs a dependable secondary fryer or a single fryer for a limited fried menu.

From an operational standpoint, the design prioritises ease of use and straightforward maintenance:

• Hinged heating elements lift clear for cleaning, reducing the effort involved in daily oil maintenance
• Front-mounted drain valve simplifies oil changes without removing the tank
• Temperature control is straightforward, keeping operation consistent across different staff
• Countertop footprint keeps the unit practical for kitchens with limited floor space

Installation requires a hardwired single-phase 230V connection — this is not a plug-in unit, so electrical work will be needed if a suitable supply isn't already in place. The countertop format means ventilation requirements are dictated by your canopy setup rather than a built-in system, so placement beneath an extraction canopy is standard practice.

This fryer is best suited to lower- to mid-volume operations: cafés, small restaurants, hotel breakfast kitchens, or as a supplementary unit in a larger kitchen. Sites with higher throughput demands, or those running fried items as a core menu component, would likely benefit from a larger-capacity or twin-tank model instead.

If you're unsure whether the output and tank size match your service requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Buffalo 6Ltr rice cooker is a straightforward electric countertop unit designed for commercial kitchens that serve rice regularly. It takes 6 litres of dry rice per batch and produces 13 litres of cooked rice — enough to support a consistent service in a busy takeaway, restaurant, or staff canteen without constant monitoring.

Operation is simple by design. Once the rice reaches temperature, the unit switches automatically from cook mode to keep-warm, holding the rice at a safe serving temperature until it's needed. This frees up kitchen staff to focus elsewhere rather than watching a pot, and it reduces the risk of rice sitting out at unsafe temperatures during a long service period.

From a practical standpoint, the unit offers a number of day-to-day advantages:

• Automatic cook-to-keep-warm switching reduces the need for staff supervision
• Non-stick inner pot makes cleaning straightforward between batches
• Stainless steel lid and outer body hold up well in commercial environments
• Consistent results batch to batch with minimal operator input
• Compact footprint suits countertop use in kitchens with limited space

Installation is uncomplicated — this is a plug-in electric unit requiring a standard connection, and no specialist installation work is needed beyond a suitable countertop position with access to a power supply. It's worth considering workflow placement carefully; positioning near the pass or service area tends to work well so rice can be portioned quickly during service.

This model is well suited to smaller to medium-volume operations — takeaways, cafés, small restaurants, and canteens where rice forms a regular part of the menu but isn't needed in very large quantities simultaneously. For higher-volume sites turning over multiple large batches throughout a service, a larger-capacity model may be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this capacity is the right fit for your service volume, we're happy to talk it through.

The Buffalo charcoal barbecue is a straightforward, steel-construction grill designed for commercial and event catering use. It provides a generous cooking surface capable of handling multiple food items simultaneously — burgers, chicken, skewers, fish, and vegetables can all be worked across the grill during a busy service period without feeling cramped.

In practice, charcoal grilling of this type suits environments where authentic flame-kissed flavour is part of the offer — street food events, outdoor festivals, mobile catering units, pop-up restaurants, and hospitality venues with outdoor service areas. The relatively compact footprint and light overall weight mean the unit can be relocated between sites or stored away after an event without difficulty, and the ability to disassemble it simplifies both cleaning and transport.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points worth noting are:

• Large cooking area allows simultaneous grilling of mixed menu items
• Disassembles for cleaning, reducing cross-contamination risk between services
• Steel construction handles the thermal demands of sustained charcoal cooking
• Lightweight enough for a single operator to move and set up
• No gas or electrical supply required — suits off-grid outdoor locations

Because this is a charcoal unit, there are no electrical or gas connections to factor in, which makes it straightforward to deploy almost anywhere outdoors. That said, charcoal grilling does require attention to fuel management, heat control, and ash disposal — operators new to charcoal service should factor in additional setup and turnaround time compared with gas alternatives. It is not suited to indoor use without substantial ventilation provisions.

This model works well for lower- to mid-volume outdoor catering operations. For sites running continuous high-volume service across long events, a heavier-duty unit with greater cooking area or more robust construction may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this barbecue fits your service model or volume requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Buffalo XL Ceramic Kamado BBQ is a large-format charcoal grill designed for operators who need genuine cooking versatility outdoors. Built around a thick ceramic body, it functions as a grill, smoker, pizza oven, and roaster in a single unit — making it a practical choice for catering events, outdoor dining services, or permanent covered terrace setups where a gas supply isn't available or practical.

The ceramic construction is the defining characteristic of this style of cooker. It retains heat exceptionally well once at temperature, meaning the charcoal load required to maintain consistent cooking conditions is lower than with steel alternatives. Recovery after opening the lid is relatively quick, and the cooker holds steady temperature across a wide range — from low-and-slow smoking conditions through to high-heat searing. The 20-minute heat-up time is typical for a quality ceramic Kamado and compares well to steel grills of comparable size.

From an operational standpoint, the Kamado format works well for caterers offering smoked meats, grilled proteins, or wood-fired dishes as a menu feature. Its versatility reduces the number of separate cooking units required at an event or outdoor service point.

• Ceramic liner holds temperature consistently without constant fuel management
• Suitable for grilling, smoking, searing, and baking — all from one unit
• Supplied with a mobile trolley and two wooden side shelves for prep space
• Finished in black ceramic — durable and presentable in front-of-house settings
• Reduces charcoal consumption compared to open steel grill designs

At 91kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment. It is genuinely portable via the supplied trolley on level ground, but moving it across uneven surfaces or loading it into vehicles requires planning and appropriate handling. It is not suited to compact indoor kitchens and requires adequate ventilation or an outdoor environment for safe use with charcoal.

This grill is well suited to event caterers, street food operators, pub gardens, and outdoor restaurants where charcoal cooking is part of the offer. For higher-volume operations requiring faster throughput across multiple covers simultaneously, a larger or multi-unit setup would be worth considering.

If you're weighing up whether the Kamado format fits your service style or have questions about cooking volume and fuel management, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Buffalo 6 Burner LPG Barbecue Griddle is a propane-powered combi unit combining open barbecue grill cooking with a large flat steel plate griddle. Running entirely on LPG, it operates independently of mains gas infrastructure, making it well suited to outdoor events, festival catering, temporary kitchen setups, and mobile food operations where a fixed gas supply is not available.

With six burners and a total output of 24kW spread across a generous cooking surface, the unit is built to handle sustained high-volume service. The griddle plate handles foods that need even contact heat — bacon, eggs, onions, flatbreads, burgers — while the barbecue section allows charred, open-flame cooking alongside. Running both simultaneously gives an operator the flexibility to serve a varied menu without needing separate equipment.

In practical terms, the key operational advantages include:

• LPG operation removes dependence on fixed gas supply lines or electrical hook-up
• Dual cooking zones allow griddle and barbecue output to run concurrently
• Large steel griddle plate maintains consistent surface temperature across high-throughput service
• Six-burner layout gives zone control, allowing sections to be turned down during quieter periods
• Steel construction is robust enough for repeated outdoor deployment and straightforward to clean down after service

At 94.5kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment and will require at least two people to position and move safely. The unit's footprint is considerable, so access routes and surface stability need to be considered before deployment, particularly on uneven ground at outdoor events. LPG cylinder connection, regulator compatibility, and gas safety checks should always be carried out by a competent Gas Safe registered engineer prior to first use.

This unit is best suited to caterers running high-volume outdoor events, street food operations, festival traders, or hospitality venues with seasonal outdoor service areas. For smaller-scale operations or where a more compact footprint is needed, a lower-burner-count model may be more appropriate. Conversely, very high-volume event caterers running multiple service lines may want to consider whether a single unit meets peak demand or whether two smaller units would give more operational flexibility.

If you're unsure whether this unit fits your service volumes or event setup, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit.

The Buffalo 8-litre countertop electric fryer is a single-basket unit designed for consistent, straightforward frying in smaller commercial kitchens. It handles the everyday range of fried foods — chips, battered fish, seafood, doughnuts — and is built to a specification that suits kitchens where a compact, reliable fryer is needed without the footprint of a floor-standing model.

In service, the 2.9kW heating element gives reasonable recovery when adding frozen product to hot oil, which helps maintain consistent cook times during a steady service period. It is best suited to moderate throughput — a café, pub kitchen, or snack bar turning out fried items as part of a broader menu — rather than a high-volume fish and chip shop or fast-food operation where a larger, more powerful unit would be more appropriate. The adjustable thermostat allows the temperature to be dialled in for different products, and the included digital timer helps kitchen staff deliver consistent results without relying on guesswork.

From an operational standpoint, a few practical features make daily use and end-of-service cleaning straightforward:

• Front-mounted drain tap allows oil to be drained into a container without lifting a heavy pan
• V-shaped oil pan encourages more complete draining, reducing waste and making cleaning easier
• Hinged element lifts clear of the pan for access when cleaning
• Stainless steel lid included to protect oil between services

Installation is straightforward — this is a countertop unit that connects to a standard 13A socket, so no dedicated electrical supply or hardwiring is needed. You will want to ensure adequate ventilation above the fryer, either via an extraction canopy or sufficient natural airflow, as with any open-vat fryer. The unit is compact enough for most counter runs but check the depth against your available worktop space before ordering.

This fryer is well suited to cafés, small pub kitchens, school canteens, or any site where fried food is a regular but not dominant part of the menu. If your operation is frying at high volume continuously throughout service, a twin-tank or larger single-tank unit is likely to serve you better. Equally, for very light or occasional use, a smaller capacity model may offer a more efficient fit.

If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Buffalo 600 Series electric pasta cooker is a dedicated countertop cooking station designed for kitchens that serve pasta, noodles, dumplings, or blanched vegetables as a regular part of the menu. Rather than tying up a hob position for boiling water throughout service, it provides a self-contained, purpose-built solution that keeps that work separate and consistent.

The unit features a 15-litre tank designed to connect directly to a mains water supply. A front-mounted fill tap lets staff top up the water quickly without moving the machine or carrying jugs, and a separate front drain tap means the tank can be emptied cleanly at the end of service or during a quiet period. Temperature is adjustable across a wide range, and the unit works with separate mesh baskets, making it straightforward to cook multiple portions simultaneously or hold different products at different stages.

In practical terms, the main operational advantages are:

• Frees up hob positions for other cooking during busy service periods
• Plumbed water supply reduces downtime between orders
• Front-mounted fill and drain taps support fast, clean turnaround
• Mesh basket system allows portion-by-portion cooking to order
• Consistent temperature control helps deliver reliable results across a full service

The unit is hardwired and will need a suitable electrical connection arranged prior to installation. It is a countertop appliance only — the base cupboard is sold separately, so factor that into your planning if you need it at a workable height within a cook line. At 400mm wide, it fits comfortably into tighter kitchen layouts and is designed to sit alongside other Buffalo 600 Series appliances if you are building or extending a modular line.

This pasta cooker is well suited to restaurants, cafés, and contract catering operations where pasta or noodle dishes form a consistent part of the menu. For very high-volume sites turning out large batch quantities continuously through a long service, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit would be a better fit for your throughput.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or want to talk through the installation requirements, our team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Buffalo Outdoor Gas Griddle is a flat-plate gas plancha designed specifically for outdoor commercial use. Running on gas and built from steel, it provides a large, even cooking surface well suited to burgers, vegetables, fish, and similar high-throughput fare commonly served at catering events, market stalls, food festivals, and outdoor hospitality settings.

In a busy outdoor service environment, a flat griddle plate offers consistent, direct contact heat across the cooking surface, which supports steady output when volume picks up during peak service periods. The steel plate retains heat reasonably well, allowing operators to work across the surface without frequent cold spots slowing throughput. At 15kg it is manageable enough to transport and position without heavy lifting equipment, which suits operators who are regularly setting up and breaking down at different locations.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Large cooking area suited to simultaneous multi-item service
• Flat plate construction simplifies cleaning between covers
• Gas operation removes dependency on mains electricity at site
• Compact footprint relative to cooking surface area
• Straightforward set-up with no complex installation requirements

As this unit is designed for outdoor use, it should not be operated in enclosed or insufficiently ventilated spaces. Operators will need a compatible gas supply and appropriate regulator for their cylinder type — this is worth confirming before the first event. The unit is not intended for permanent indoor installation. For very high-volume outdoor catering where output demands are more sustained, a heavier-duty double-burner or larger surface model may be worth considering.

This griddle is a practical choice for mobile caterers, event operators, and outdoor hospitality venues that need reliable gas cooking without fixed infrastructure. It is equally well suited to smaller catering businesses looking for an affordable entry point into outdoor flat-plate cooking.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or have questions about gas compatibility for your setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Buffalo 4 Litre Rice Cooker is a straightforward, dedicated appliance designed to produce consistent, correctly cooked rice in a commercial setting. It takes up to 4.2 litres of dry rice and yields around 10 litres once cooked — a practical batch size for many catering operations. Once the rice is ready, the unit automatically drops into a keep-warm cycle, holding the product at a safe serving temperature without any manual intervention.

In a busy kitchen, rice cookers like this earn their place by running reliably in the background while the team focuses elsewhere. The automatic switch to keep-warm means staff are not tied to monitoring the unit, and the risk of rice drying out or overcooking during service is significantly reduced. The stainless steel construction holds up well in commercial environments and is straightforward to keep clean.

Practical benefits for kitchen operators include:

• Set-and-leave operation frees up staff attention during service
• Automatic keep-warm cycle maintains safe holding temperatures
• Consistent results across different rice varieties
• Stainless steel build suits busy, high-contact kitchen environments
• Compact footprint works well on a counter or prep station

This unit connects to a standard 13-amp socket, so there are no specialist electrical requirements. At 5kg it is easy to reposition and store, which suits kitchens where counter space is shared or managed carefully. It is supplied with a measuring cup and serving spoon.

This cooker is well suited to cafés, staff canteens, small restaurants, and takeaways where rice is a regular menu item but not necessarily produced in very high volumes throughout the day. For operations cooking rice continuously across a long service period or in significantly larger batches, a higher-capacity unit may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your service volumes, the team are happy to help you work that out before you order.

The Buffalo 6 litre food steamer is a compact countertop unit designed for steaming a wide range of food items in a commercial kitchen setting. It operates on a standard 1kW connection and is built from stainless steel throughout, making it a practical choice for kitchens where durability and hygiene are daily priorities.

In a working kitchen environment, this steamer is well suited to producing vegetables, fish, chicken, dim sum, and hot dogs with consistent results. The 6 litre capacity makes it a practical fit for smaller service volumes — think café kitchens, snack bars, or as a secondary unit in a larger operation where a dedicated steaming station handles overflow or specific menu items. Recovery between batches is reasonable for the power output, though during sustained peak service it is worth setting realistic expectations around throughput compared to higher-capacity steam equipment.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:

• Simple controls that require minimal training for kitchen staff
• Removable steaming basket that makes cleaning quick between service periods
• Stainless steel construction that withstands daily commercial use and routine sanitising
• Compact footprint that fits onto a standard prep counter without displacing other equipment

Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard 13A plug socket and no water line connection, which keeps setup simple and allows flexibility in where it is positioned. There are no ventilation requirements beyond sensible placement away from combustible materials. At 4.2kg it is light enough to reposition as needed.

This steamer is best suited to low-to-medium volume operations or kitchens needing a simple, reliable steaming solution for a focused range of menu items. For sites with higher throughput demands or a broader steaming requirement, a larger-capacity unit would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service volume or menu requirements, the team at Advantage is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Buffalo large rice cooker is a straightforward, countertop appliance designed for commercial kitchens where rice features heavily on the menu. It operates on a cook-and-keep-warm cycle — once the rice is cooked, it holds automatically at serving temperature without requiring manual intervention. The stainless steel construction is hardwearing and suited to the demands of a busy kitchen environment.

In service, the large capacity means operators can cook a full batch in one cycle rather than running multiple smaller units or batches in sequence. This is particularly useful during prep windows before a peak service period, where bulk cooking and then holding is the practical approach. The automatic switch to keep-warm means rice stays at a consistent temperature and doesn't dry out or overcook while service is under way.

From an operational standpoint, the benefits are straightforward:

• Automatic keep-warm reduces the need for constant monitoring during service
• Large batch capacity supports high-volume covers without repeated cycling
• Stainless steel exterior is easy to wipe down and withstands daily commercial use
• Supplied with spatula, spoon, and rice measure to support consistent portioning
• Simple operation reduces training time for kitchen staff

Installation is uncomplicated — this is a countertop appliance requiring only a standard electrical connection and adequate worktop space. At 15.5kg it is manageable to position and reposition as needed. There are no water or drainage connections required. It is worth ensuring the unit is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface clear of obstructions to the steam vent.

This cooker is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, takeaways, staff canteens, and pub kitchens where rice is a menu staple but output demands are manageable within a single large batch. For very high-volume operations — large event catering, central production kitchens, or sites running continuous service across multiple sections — a heavier-duty or higher-capacity solution may be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this capacity suits your service volume, we're happy to talk through your typical covers and advise accordingly.

The Buffalo 4 Burner Gas Barbecue is a self-contained outdoor cooking unit combining a large gas grill with an independent side hob, mounted on a mobile trolley with built-in storage. It is supplied as a complete package including gas hose and regulator, making it a practical choice for operators who need a ready-to-use outdoor cooking setup without sourcing ancillary parts separately.

The grill surface is divided into four independent cooking zones, each with its own burner and temperature control. This allows an operator to run different products simultaneously — holding chicken at a lower temperature on one section while searing burgers at higher heat on another — without cross-contamination of cooking conditions. The side hob extends the unit's capability further, allowing sauces, sides, or accompaniments to be prepared without a separate appliance. For outdoor catering work, that consolidation of functions is practically useful.

Key operational advantages include:

• Four individually controlled burner zones for simultaneous multi-product cooking
• Independent side hob removes the need for a separate burner appliance
• Mobile trolley allows rapid repositioning at events or outdoor service areas
• Supplied with gas hose and regulator — usable straight from delivery
• Steel construction provides a practical level of durability for event catering use

This unit is designed for outdoor use only and must always be operated in a well-ventilated open-air environment — it is not suitable for indoor kitchen installation. Operators using it at public events should review the safety data sheet before use, and should ensure compliance with any relevant local authority or event organiser requirements around LPG use. The trolley design aids mobility but the unit should be positioned on level, stable ground during operation.

This barbecue is well suited to outdoor caterers, event catering teams, hospitality venues running seasonal outdoor service, and similar operations where a self-contained gas cooking station is needed. It is best matched to moderate-volume service rather than high-throughput continuous production; operators running very large-scale outdoor events may find a heavier-duty commercial unit better suited to sustained demand.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume or event setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

This Buffalo countertop induction hob provides four independent cooking zones across a freestanding stainless steel unit, drawing on two 3kW elements to deliver controlled, responsive heat without an open flame or radiant element. It operates from a standard plug-in connection, which removes the need for hardwired electrical installation and makes repositioning straightforward when kitchen layouts change.

In a working kitchen, the practical advantage of induction becomes clear during service. Heat transfers directly into the pan rather than the surrounding air, which means faster response when adjusting temperatures and less residual heat building up on the line. Each zone offers eleven power levels along with a boost function for situations where rapid heat-up is needed — useful when recovering temperature quickly between covers. The ceramic glass surface stays relatively cool outside the pan contact area, which reduces the risk of accidental burns and simplifies end-of-service cleaning.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several day-to-day advantages:

• Significantly lower energy loss compared with gas, as heat goes directly into the cookware
• Reduced ambient heat output, which can ease the load on extraction and improve comfort for kitchen staff
• Flat, sealed ceramic glass surface that wipes down quickly after service
• No gas supply or hardwired connection required — plug in and use
• Consistent zone-by-zone temperature control across eleven power settings

Because this unit runs from a plug-in connection, it is well suited to kitchens where a permanent induction installation is not practical — temporary setups, event catering, smaller sites, or as supplementary capacity alongside an existing range. It is worth confirming that the available socket circuit is rated appropriately for the combined load before use. The stainless steel and toughened ceramic glass construction is robust for daily commercial use, though operators with very high continuous throughput may find a larger, hardwired unit better suited to their volume.

This hob works well for small to mid-sized operations, catering functions, pop-up kitchens, and sites looking to introduce induction cooking without committing to a full installation. If your service volumes are higher or you need more zones running simultaneously at full power, it is worth considering what a larger format unit could offer.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen setup or want to talk through induction cooking in more detail, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Buffalo 5Ltr countertop electric fryer is a compact, single-basket unit designed for light to moderate frying in commercial catering environments. It operates via a straightforward thermostat control with a thermal cut-out device and safety switch, making it a practical option for operations where simplicity and reliability matter more than high-volume throughput.

In a working kitchen, this fryer is well suited to quieter service periods or as a secondary frying station supporting a larger setup. The 2.8kW element provides adequate heat for standard frying tasks, though operators running continuous high-volume service — think busy fish and chip shops or high-turnover pub kitchens — would likely find a larger capacity unit more appropriate. Recovery time between batches is reasonable for its class, but it is not designed to sustain the pace of a main frying station under pressure.

From a practical standpoint, it offers several operational advantages worth noting:

• Stainless steel construction holds up well under daily commercial use and cleans down easily
• Flat-based oil pan simplifies draining and oil changes
• Non-slip rubber feet keep the unit stable on a countertop during service
• Lid included to cover the tank safely when not in use
• Compact footprint makes it workable even in tight prep areas

Installation is straightforward — this is a plug-in electric unit with no gas connection or fixed plumbing required. It draws 12.2A, so you will want to confirm your countertop socket circuit is suitably rated before use. No specialist ventilation is required beyond standard kitchen extraction, though local regulations on extraction above frying equipment always apply.

This fryer is best suited to cafés, small catering operations, hospitality back-of-house prep, or as a supplementary unit in a larger kitchen. For higher-volume sites where frying is a core part of the menu, it is worth considering a larger-capacity model to avoid slowing service during peak periods.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Buffalo 6 Burner Combi BBQ Grill and Griddle is a large-format gas cooking unit that combines a ribbed grill plate and a flat griddle plate within a single freestanding frame. The two separate cooking surfaces allow operators to run different cooking tasks simultaneously — grilling meats and toasting buns or cooking eggs alongside, for example — without the need for separate appliances. Built from stainless steel and steel throughout, it is designed for the kind of consistent, repeated use that outdoor events, festival catering, and high-volume barbecue service demand.

With six burners across a generous cooking width, there is enough surface area to maintain throughput during busy service periods. The separate grill and griddle zones mean heat management stays straightforward: operators can dial each section to suit what is being cooked rather than compromising across a single surface. The stainless steel construction holds up well under regular outdoor use and is practical to wipe down between service runs.

In operational terms, the key advantages of this unit are:

• Simultaneous grill and griddle cooking from a single appliance
• Six-burner layout supports high-volume service without bottlenecks
• Separate cooking zones allow different temperature management per surface
• Stainless steel and steel build suits repeated outdoor and event use
• Freestanding format suits temporary setups and event catering rigs

This unit is gas-powered and intended for outdoor or well-ventilated use — it is not suitable for indoor installation without appropriate extraction and ventilation provision. At 55kg and over two metres wide, positioning and transport between events requires planning. It is not a light or compact unit, and that should be factored into logistics for mobile catering operations.

This combi unit is well suited to event caterers, street food operators, festival traders, and outdoor hospitality venues that need a reliable, high-output cooking station. It is less appropriate for compact kitchen environments or operators who need a smaller footprint. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands, a heavier-duty or more commercial-grade solution may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your setup — particularly around gas supply, ventilation, or service volume — the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
