Designed for reliability and performance, the Buffalo waffle makes the whole process easy. When up to temperature, simply pour the waffle batter onto the plates and close the lid. The built-in timer ensures you get consistent results every time.
The Buffalo waffle maker is specifically made for everyday professional use. With up to 1.6kW of cooking power, the Buffalo waffle maker can quickly turn around up to 60 waffles every hour, making it a great choice for high demand sites such as restaurants, food courts or hotels. And once you're all done, the whole unit is easy to clean, ready for the next service.
Advice from our experts:
If your waffles stick to the plates, it could be because of the type of mix you're using. Waffle mixes with low sugar content can be cooked at higher temperatures, while high sugar mixes require a lower temperature to stop the outside caramelising before the inside has cooked. Using a little spray oil can also help release the waffles too.
1.6kW. Output: Up to 60 waffles per hour
£312.00(£374.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo makes it easy to get great results - each side has independent temperature controls, allowing you to cook different foods at the same time - no need for separate grills here! In addition, during quieter hours, one side can be shut off to reduce running costs. As a handy extra, the built-in programmable digital timers provide you with a quick solution for consistent cooking - great for reducing food waste. Easy to use, clean and maintain.
3.6kW. Flat base, ribbed top. 2x 13amp plugs
£312.00(£374.40 inc VAT)
The counter-balanced enamelled cast iron griddle plates maximise contact between the heat and the food. This not only ensures a consistent cook - it also speeds up cooking to help keep queues down. And thanks to the ribbed design of the plates, grease and fat is channelled away, promoting healthier dishes, whilst also adding attractive just-grilled branding lines which customers crave. And as the plates are enamelled cast iron, they retain more heat for longer, meaning that recovery times are reduced - so that's less time waiting for cooking temperatures to be reached.
The grill also includes a built-in removable drip tray, helping to keep the grill surface clean and contaminant-free - essential for maintaining the quality of cooked food. The drip tray also makes the grill considerably easier to clean - simply remove, empty and place in the dishwasher.
Whether its used in a coffee shop, cafe, kiosk or mobile catering event, the Buffalo double contact grill is a fantastic choice for the professional.

The Buffalo 600 Series electric griddle is a freestanding, dual-zone cooking unit built around a 10mm mild steel plate. It runs on a hardwired three-phase supply and is designed to handle continuous griddle work across breakfast, lunch and dinner services. The two independently controlled cooking zones allow the plate to be used flexibly depending on what the service demands at any given moment.
In a working kitchen environment, the thick mild steel plate earns its place by holding heat consistently across the surface. Once up to temperature, it recovers well between batches — an important quality when cooking eggs, bacon, burgers or pancakes at pace. The independent zone controls mean one side can be set lower for holding or gentle cooking whilst the other runs hotter for searing or grilling, which is a practical arrangement during a busy brunch or all-day service where the menu mixes items with different heat requirements.
From an operational standpoint, several features support daily use:
- Dual zone control allows different temperatures across each half of the plate simultaneously
- One zone can be powered down during quieter periods to reduce running costs
- Splash guards to the side and rear help contain grease and protect nearby surfaces
- The stainless steel cupboard base provides useful storage at the point of use
- Adjustable feet allow levelling on uneven kitchen floors
Installation requires a hardwired three-phase 400V connection, so an appropriately rated electrical supply must be in place before installation. It is not suitable for single-phase supplies. At just over 35kg, the unit is manageable to position, but the cupboard base means it occupies a full 600mm section of cook line. It sits within the Buffalo 600 Series range, which is designed so that units of the same series can be lined up to form a cohesive cooking suite.
This griddle is well suited to small-to-medium cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens and staff restaurants where griddle cooking features regularly across service periods. It is a practical entry point into dedicated griddle cooking rather than relying on a range-top griddle plate. For higher-volume sites running extended griddle-heavy menus, a heavier-duty or wider unit may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this griddle suits your service volume or want to talk through the installation requirements, the team is happy to help you work through it before you order.
£141.00(£169.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Round Belgian Waffle Maker is a countertop waffle iron designed for commercial foodservice use. It produces 180mm round Belgian-style waffles and is built around a straightforward press format with independently adjustable temperature and timer controls. The stainless steel outer housing and coated die-cast aluminium cooking plates are practical choices for a busy environment — robust enough to handle daily use without requiring specialist care.
In service, the unit is capable of producing up to 30 waffles per hour, which is a realistic output for a café, dessert bar, or market stall where waffles form part of a wider menu rather than the sole item. Temperature control up to 250°C gives operators the flexibility to adjust output and browning to suit different batters and service preferences. Recovery between cooks is consistent at this output level, and the independent timer removes guesswork from the cooking process, which helps during busy service periods when staff attention is split.
From a practical standpoint, this machine offers a number of advantages worth noting:
- Non-stick channel around the cooking plate catches excess batter, keeping the unit cleaner between cooks
- Independent temperature and timer controls reduce reliance on staff judgement during service
- Stainless steel housing is easy to wipe down and holds up well in commercial conditions
- Compact footprint suits countertop deployment in tight service areas
- Coated aluminium plates provide consistent heat distribution across the waffle surface
Installation is straightforward. The unit runs from a standard 13A socket and requires no fixed connection, making it easy to position on a countertop or move between sites. At just over 5kg, it is light enough to store away when not in service. No ventilation or extraction requirements apply, though as with any cooking equipment, adequate air circulation around the unit is sensible.
This waffle maker is well suited to cafés, dessert concepts, food stalls, and hotel breakfast operations where waffles are a regular but not high-volume menu item. At 30 waffles per hour, it is most effective where demand is steady rather than extremely high. For sites running waffles as a primary product across a full service shift, a dual-plate or higher-capacity unit would be a more appropriate choice.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your expected service volume or menu format, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£181.00(£217.20 inc VAT)
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.
£474.00(£568.80 inc VAT)
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.
£121.00(£145.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bubble Waffle Maker is a compact, countertop appliance designed to produce the distinctive Hong Kong-style egg waffle — characterised by its grid of hollow spherical pockets. It operates on a standard 13A supply and is built for consistent, repeatable results across a service period, making it a practical addition to dessert menus, café counters, and street food setups.
In a commercial context, this unit is best suited to operations where bubble waffles are a menu feature rather than the primary volume item. At up to 30 waffles per hour, it handles a steady stream of orders comfortably, though it is not designed for high-throughput sites producing continuous back-to-back batches across a full service. Recovery between waffles is quick enough for typical café or dessert bar demand, and the dial-controlled temperature and timer settings keep operation straightforward for front-of-house staff with minimal training.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Simple dial controls reduce training time and risk of operator error
- Compact footprint suits countertop service stations and kiosks
- Standard 13A plug-in installation — no dedicated wiring required
- Easy-clean plates with a non-stick surface help maintain throughput during busy periods
- Lightweight build makes it straightforward to reposition or store between services
Installation is straightforward — the unit plugs into a standard 13A socket and requires no specialist electrical work. It will need adequate ventilation around it during use, and a stable, heat-resistant surface. At 6.5kg it is easy to move, but it should be positioned away from high-traffic areas to avoid knocks during service.
This model is well suited to independent cafés, dessert parlours, market stalls, and hospitality venues offering bubble waffles as a menu addition. For sites looking to run waffles as a high-volume core product across long services, it is worth discussing whether a more heavy-duty solution would better match the demand.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service volumes or menu setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
£202.00(£242.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bistro Large Contact Grill is a countertop double-sided grill designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens and service counters. It uses a combination of stainless steel housing and enamelled cast iron plates to deliver consistent, direct contact heat across a generous cooking surface, making it practical for a wide range of menu items — from breakfast service through to pressed sandwiches, grilled meats, and vegetables.
In a working kitchen, contact grills are judged on how quickly they recover temperature between cooks and how reliably they hold heat during a run of orders. The Buffalo Bistro handles steady service well; the cast iron plates retain heat effectively once up to temperature, and the variable heat control allows the operator to dial in the right setting for different ingredients without guesswork. The counter-balanced swivel head adjusts to the thickness of the food, which helps maintain even contact across uneven items and reduces the chance of undercooking at the edges.
From a practical standpoint, this unit offers several day-to-day advantages:
- Variable temperature control allows one unit to handle a broad range of menu items
- Counter-balanced head adapts to food thickness for consistent plate contact
- Enamelled cast iron plates provide good heat retention and a hard-wearing cooking surface
- Removable grease collection tray simplifies cleaning between service periods
- Compact footprint suits countertop deployment in tight service areas
Installation is straightforward — this is a plug-in unit drawing 2.2kW, so no specialist electrical work is typically required beyond a suitable 13A socket. It sits comfortably on a counter, though the 19.6kg weight is worth accounting for when planning the surface. There are no water or gas connections required. Good ventilation around the unit is advisable during heavy use, particularly in enclosed service areas.
This grill is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, small hotel kitchens, and catering operations running moderate volumes — particularly where menu variety means the grill handles several different product types across a shift. For high-volume sites processing a sustained run of a single product, such as a burger bar at peak service, a heavier-duty unit with a larger plate area or faster recovery may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this model fits your service volumes or counter setup, the team is happy to talk through the options before you commit to anything.
£202.00(£242.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bistro Large Ribbed Contact Grill is a countertop electric contact grill designed for commercial food service use. It features ribbed cast iron upper and lower plates with a non-stick coating, allowing operators to produce grilled paninis, sandwiches, chicken breasts, and similar items quickly and with a consistent finish. The counter-balanced top plate pivots to accommodate food of varying thickness without pressing down and crushing the product.
In practice, the grill performs reliably during steady service periods — café counter service, snack bars, or smaller restaurant operations where grilled items form part of the menu rather than the primary output. The cast iron plates hold heat well once the unit is up to temperature, giving reasonable recovery between successive orders. It is not a high-throughput unit, and operators expecting to run back-to-back grilling at volume should consider whether a heavier-duty model with greater plate mass and a higher power rating would be more appropriate.
The ribbed plate configuration leaves grill marks on the food surface, which many operators find improves presentation and customer perception of grilled items. Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Non-stick cast iron plates that release food cleanly and simplify end-of-service cleaning
- Counter-balanced lid that reduces the risk of food being flattened or compressed unevenly
- 430 stainless steel exterior that withstands regular wiping down and resists surface corrosion
- Supplied griddle scraper for removing residue without damaging the plate surface
- Compact footprint that fits comfortably on a standard countertop without taking excessive prep space
Installation is straightforward — this is a plug-in unit drawing 2.2kW, suitable for a standard 13A supply in most UK commercial premises. No specialist electrical work is required for most sites, though it is worth confirming your circuit load if the socket position is already serving other high-draw appliances. At 20kg, it is manageable for repositioning but sturdy enough to sit securely during service. Adequate ventilation around the unit is advisable, particularly in enclosed counter positions.
This grill is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, small hotel kitchens, and similar operations where grilled items are produced to order at moderate pace. If your menu relies heavily on grilled output across a full service session, it is worth discussing whether a larger or more robust unit would better match your throughput requirements.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your service style or volume, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£152.00(£182.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bistro Contact Grill is a compact, single-plate electric contact grill designed for light commercial use. It uses flat upper and lower cast iron plates with a non-stick coating to cook sandwiches, paninis, meat and vegetables quickly and with minimal added fat. The counter-balanced top plate maintains consistent contact across the food surface without crushing it, which helps produce evenly cooked results from the first item to the last.
In practice, this unit is well suited to lower-volume service — a café producing toasted sandwiches through a morning rush, a deli counter turning out grilled snacks, or a small hospitality kitchen where contact-grilled items are part of a limited menu rather than a core throughput requirement. It is not designed for continuous high-volume production and operators expecting to run it hard across a full service period should consider a heavier-duty model with a higher power rating.
The practical advantages for day-to-day use include:
- Non-stick cast iron plates reduce sticking and speed up cleaning between uses
- Counter-balanced lid prevents food from being compressed unevenly
- Compact footprint fits comfortably on a standard counter without obstructing workflow
- Supplied griddle scraper makes between-service plate cleaning straightforward
- Stainless steel construction is durable and easy to wipe down
Installation is straightforward — the unit is plug-in and requires only a standard mains socket. No fixed electrical connection, gas supply or ventilation extraction is required, though local ventilation is advisable wherever grilling takes place. At 14.4kg it is light enough to be repositioned as needed, which suits operations where counter space is shared or flexible.
This grill is best suited to cafés, delis, small hotels and catering setups where contact grilling is a secondary rather than primary cooking function. If your operation demands a grill running continuously through a busy service, it is worth discussing your volume requirements with us before ordering — a more robust unit may be a better long-term investment.

The Buffalo Bistro Ribbed Contact Grill is a compact, countertop grill designed for cafés, sandwich bars, and light commercial kitchens that need to produce grilled paninis, pressed sandwiches, chicken fillets, and similar items quickly and consistently. It uses ribbed cast iron plates on both the upper and lower surfaces, which retain heat effectively and transfer characteristic grill marks to the food.
In a busy café or deli environment, this unit handles a steady flow of orders during peak service reasonably well. The cast iron plates hold heat after each item is removed, which helps maintain consistent results without long waits between each press. It is worth being clear that this is a single-grill, light-duty unit — it is not designed for continuous back-to-back output at the volume you would expect from a double or heavy-duty commercial contact grill. For sites running high throughput through a lunch service, a larger or more robust unit would be more appropriate.
Practical advantages for day-to-day operation include:
- Counterbalanced top plate applies gentle, even pressure without crushing food
- Non-stick cast iron plates reduce sticking and simplify cleaning
- Ribbed plate profile adds grill texture and aids fat drainage
- Supplied with a griddle scraper for straightforward plate maintenance between services
- Stainless steel exterior wipes down easily and stands up to a kitchen environment
Installation is straightforward. The unit is compact and requires only a standard 13A mains socket, making it easy to position on any available counter space. No extraction connection or water supply is needed. The footprint is modest, which suits tighter front-of-house or servery areas as well as back-of-house kitchens.
This grill is well suited to cafés, coffee shops, small restaurant kitchens, and any operation needing a reliable, no-fuss contact grill for moderate daily use. It is not the right choice for high-volume sandwich chains or operations running the grill continuously across long services — in those cases, something with greater plate surface area and a heavier-duty heating element would serve better.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your service volume or have questions about how it compares to other options in our range, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
