The Sterling Pro Cobus SPR400G is a single glass door upright refrigerator designed for the chilled storage and display of perishables in commercial environments. The 360-litre cabinet uses fan-assisted circulation to maintain consistent temperatures across the full height of the unit, which matters more in practice than it might seem — gravity-cooled cabinets often leave upper and lower shelves at noticeably different temperatures, particularly during busy service periods when the door is opened frequently.
Fan-assisted cooling also aids recovery. When kitchen or front-of-house staff access the cabinet repeatedly throughout a shift, the unit returns to stable conditions more quickly than passive alternatives. This makes it a practical choice not just for back-of-house ingredient storage but also for customer-facing positions in cafés, delis, and sandwich bars where visual stock presentation is part of the service. The glass door allows staff to locate products at a glance without breaking workflow, and customers to view chilled goods without the cabinet needing to be opened at all.
Key operational advantages include:
- Glass door enables visual stock checks without opening the cabinet
- Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across all shelf levels
- Hydrocarbon refrigerant reduces running costs over long daily operating hours
- ABS food-safe interior wipes down quickly between service periods
- Replaceable door gaskets help keep long-term maintenance costs manageable
The cabinet is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, delis, and sandwich bars with moderate chilled storage requirements. Sites running high footfall across multiple shifts, or storing larger volumes of perishables throughout the day, may find a higher-capacity unit a more practical fit for their service pattern.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet suits your layout, throughput, or intended position in the kitchen, the team is glad to talk it through with you.
£992.00(£1,190.40 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series 600 litre upright display fridge is a single-door, front-of-house refrigeration unit designed to merchandise chilled drinks and food in environments where visual presentation matters. It operates within a 2°C to 8°C temperature range, making it suitable for pre-packaged food, bottled drinks, dairy and similar chilled lines. The white finish and full-height double-glazed door give it a clean, unobtrusive appearance that fits comfortably in cafés, delis, convenience retail and similar settings.
In practice, this unit is intended for moderate-traffic locations rather than high-volume catering operations. It is not a workhorse back-of-house fridge — it is designed to hold and display product that is restocked periodically throughout the day. Four adjustable shelves provide reasonable flexibility for different product heights, and the internal lighting keeps product visible to customers without additional display investment. The digital temperature display on the control panel means staff can carry out a quick visual check without opening the door, which helps maintain consistent cabinet temperature during service.
Key practical advantages include:
- A-rated energy performance, which keeps running costs lower over time
- R600a refrigerant with a low global warming potential of 3
- Double-glazed door reduces condensation and thermal loss when browsing
- Digital temperature readout supports basic due-diligence monitoring
- White finish suits front-of-house environments where aesthetics are considered
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and uses R600a refrigerant, which is common in lighter-duty display refrigeration. At 93kg, two people should handle delivery and positioning. It is rated for ambient conditions up to 32°C, which covers most UK front-of-house environments, though sites with poor ventilation or consistently high ambient temperatures should factor this in. Allow adequate clearance at the rear and above for airflow. This is not suited to heavy catering kitchen environments where door access is frequent and recovery demands are high.
This unit is well suited to cafés, sandwich counters, small convenience stores, waiting areas and similar settings where the primary need is to display and hold chilled product attractively. It is not the right choice for sites with very high footfall requiring constant restocking, or for any application requiring blast-chilled or cook-chill storage. For more demanding service environments, a higher-capacity or gastronorm-compatible model would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your space or trading volume, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
£2,145.00(£2,574.00 inc VAT)
The Lincat D5R/100B is a countertop refrigerated display unit built for rear-service counter layouts, where serving staff manage and replenish stock from behind the unit while customers select from the front. It is designed to hold sandwiches, salads, prepared foods, pastries, and similar chilled products at a safe serving temperature throughout the service period, while keeping them clearly visible at counter level.
Fan-assisted air circulation maintains an even temperature across all shelf levels, which matters in practice when rear doors are being opened and closed regularly during a busy service. Static cooling alone struggles to recover quickly under that kind of repeated access; the forced-air system here handles it more reliably. Hot gas auto-defrost reduces the need for manual intervention and keeps the unit operating consistently over long service periods without the interruptions that manual defrost routines can cause.
In day-to-day operation, the unit offers several practical advantages for front-of-counter service:
- Digital temperature control with deviation alert helps operators stay within safe serving ranges throughout service
- Sliding rear glass doors allow quick, low-disruption restocking without disturbing front display presentation
- Internal lighting keeps chilled products clearly visible to customers across the counter
- Clip-in light fittings allow bulb replacement without specialist tools or downtime
Installation requires a level, stable counter surface with adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. The unit performs best positioned away from direct heat sources and cooking equipment — ambient temperature has a measurable effect on refrigeration efficiency, and this is worth considering carefully when planning placement. A standard electrical supply is all that is required.
This unit suits lower-to-moderate volume servery environments well: workplace restaurants, café counters, hotel breakfast stations, and similar operations where a single countertop display handles demand comfortably. Sites with higher footfall, greater product volume, or a need for wider counter coverage are likely to require a larger or multi-deck unit. If your counter is set up for customer self-service rather than rear service, a different display configuration will be a better fit.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your counter layout, ambient conditions, or service volume, the team is glad to talk through the details before you commit.
£1,030.00(£1,236.00 inc VAT)
The Vestfrost MFG185 is a freestanding upright display cooler with a 448-litre capacity, built for commercial environments where chilled beverages and packaged products need to be kept at a consistent serving temperature and visible to customers throughout service. The full-height glass door and LED lighting integrated into the door profiles and top of the unit allow customers and staff to see the full contents without opening the door — a practical detail that helps maintain stable internal temperatures during busy periods.
In day-to-day commercial use, units of this type are a reliable choice for bars, cafés, restaurants and convenience or retail settings. The electronic temperature control keeps the cabinet operating consistently across long service hours without requiring manual intervention, and the adjustable wire shelves make it simple to reconfigure the interior around different bottle heights, can formats or packaged goods without tools.
Operational advantages worth noting:
- LED lighting presents stock clearly without generating excess heat inside the cabinet
- Electronic temperature control maintains consistent chilling with no manual adjustment required
- Exchangeable door gasket keeps routine maintenance straightforward and low cost
- Lockable door adds security in shared or public-facing environments
- Rear castors and adjustable front feet allow easy positioning and levelling on site
Installation is uncomplicated. This is a freestanding unit requiring a standard mains electrical connection, with adequate clearance at the rear and top to allow proper ventilation. It is not suited to built-in installation. The footprint is relatively compact, making it workable in tighter back-bar or floor areas, but it should not be positioned directly alongside high-heat equipment such as grills or fryers, and condenser airflow at floor level must not be obstructed.
This unit is well suited to single-site operators, smaller bars, cafés, and convenience or retail environments where a presentable, reliable chilled display is needed without the scale of a multi-door configuration. For operations with significantly higher throughput, a larger-format or multi-door alternative is likely a better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your space and service volume before placing an order, our team is glad to help.
£474.00(£568.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series upright display fridge is a single-door chilled merchandiser designed to keep bottled drinks, packaged snacks and chilled food products visible, accessible and correctly tempered during service. The black painted steel finish and full-height glazed door make it a practical front-of-house unit for sites where presentation matters alongside refrigeration performance.
In busy service environments — cafés, bars, hotel lobbies, visitor attractions and convenience-style retail counters — this type of unit earns its place by combining reliable chilling with self-service convenience. The internal lighting draws attention to stocked products, and the four adjustable shelves allow the interior to be configured around different product heights and stock rotation requirements. The double-glazed door helps limit cold loss during regular customer access, which matters in sites with high footfall and frequent door openings throughout the day.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers a number of practical advantages:
- Lockable glazed door supports stock security in unsupervised or public-facing areas
- Adjustable shelves accommodate varying product sizes and allow layout changes during restocking
- Internal lighting improves product visibility without additional fitout
- Overhead display panel provides space for own-brand signage or promotional material
- Climate Class 4 rating confirms suitability for ambient environments up to 32°C
The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply and uses R600a refrigerant, which carries a low global warming potential and is the expected standard in modern commercial display refrigeration. At 124kg, it requires a solid, level floor surface and sufficient clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. It is a freestanding unit and does not require any fixed installation, though positioning away from direct heat sources and sunlight will support consistent performance. The 1692mm height means overhead clearance should be confirmed before siting.
This fridge is well suited to lower-volume retail and hospitality settings where the priority is visibility and accessibility rather than high-capacity storage. It is commonly used in cafés, small bars, hotel breakout areas, visitor centres and staffed retail counters. Sites with higher stock volumes or continuous high-footfall service may find a larger-capacity unit more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your site — in terms of capacity, ambient conditions or positioning — our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.
From £1,160.00(£1,392.00 inc VAT)
The Tefcold FSC1000S is a large-capacity upright refrigerated merchandiser with double sliding glass doors, designed to keep chilled products visible and accessible on a busy retail or food-service floor. At 771 litres, it offers substantial holding capacity across multiple adjustable shelves, making it practical for operators stocking a broad range of drinks, dairy, packaged snacks, or food-to-go lines.
In a working environment, fan-assisted circulation helps maintain consistent temperatures across the full cabinet height, which matters when staff and customers are opening the unit frequently throughout the day. The sliding door configuration is worth noting here — sliding rather than hinged doors reduce the aisle space needed for access and limit cold air loss during busy periods, both of which are relevant in tighter retail layouts or locations with high footfall.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages:
- Sliding doors reduce cold-air spillage during frequent customer access
- Internal lighting improves product visibility without additional display investment
- Self-closing doors help maintain temperature consistency during quieter periods
- Fan-assisted cooling supports more even temperature distribution across shelves
- Large capacity reduces the frequency of restocking runs during peak trading hours
In terms of placement, this is a floor-standing unit intended for front-of-house or shop-floor use. It will require a suitable mains electrical connection and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation — positioning against a rear wall without adequate airflow can affect performance and longevity. It is not designed for installation in unventilated storerooms or ambient temperatures significantly outside the standard range for its climate class.
The FSC1000S is well suited to convenience stores, food-to-go outlets, cafés, and similar retail environments where chilled product display is a core part of the operation. For smaller sites where floor space is limited, a single-door alternative may be more appropriate. For high-volume operations requiring very large refrigerated display capacity, a multi-door or island configuration may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your space, power supply, or product range, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£2,798.00(£3,357.60 inc VAT)
The True GDM-49-HC~TSL01 is a large-capacity, two-door upright glass merchandiser refrigerator designed for front-of-house chilled display in retail, hospitality, and foodservice environments. Full-height glazed doors allow customers and service staff to identify and retrieve products — bottled drinks, canned beverages, packaged foods — without opening the cabinet unnecessarily, which supports both temperature stability and a tidier service experience.
True Refrigeration has a well-established reputation in commercial refrigeration, and the GDM range is commonly found in convenience stores, café and deli counters, bar and pub serveries, and canteen settings. The hydrocarbon refrigerant system used in the HC variant reflects where the industry has moved — it supports efficient operation under sustained demand and aligns with current environmental compliance requirements. The cabinet is engineered to hold stable temperatures even when door openings are frequent, which is a practical consideration in any busy service environment.
From an operational standpoint, the principal advantages are:
- Full-height glazed doors reduce unnecessary openings and support consistent temperature hold
- Large interior capacity allows high stock levels and straightforward rotation during busy periods
- Hydrocarbon refrigerant system meets current environmental compliance requirements
- Suitable for both customer-facing retail display and staff-access chilled holding roles
- Robust construction suited to high-footfall commercial environments and extended daily use
Installation requires a suitable electrical supply and adequate clear space around the unit to allow condenser heat to disperse — restricted airflow will affect both performance and running costs over time. The unit is floor-standing, and given its size and loaded weight, delivery access routes and floor loading capacity are worth confirming before installation. It is not suitable for outdoor use or unheated environments.
This model is well suited to medium-to-high-footfall retail, hospitality, and foodservice sites that need a substantial chilled display presence. Operators with tighter floor space or lower throughput requirements may find a single-door or more compact format a better fit. For very high-volume operations where greater capacity or remote condensing becomes a priority, it is worth exploring the wider range before committing.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right choice for your site, the team is happy to have that conversation.
£719.00(£862.80 inc VAT)
The Tefcold UR400SG is a single glass door chilled merchandiser with a 374-litre capacity, designed to hold and display chilled beverages, packaged foods, or dairy products in a front-of-house or service environment. It shares its core cabinet construction with the solid-door UR400 model, which means the build quality is well established rather than specific to a display variant. The unit is available in white or stainless steel finish, giving some flexibility depending on the aesthetic of the space it will occupy.
Fan-assisted cooling circulates air throughout the cabinet, which helps maintain consistent temperatures across all shelf levels during service. This is particularly important when the door is opened frequently — as it would be in a busy café, convenience retail setting, or hospitality outlet — since the system works to recover quickly rather than allowing warm spots to develop. Integrated vertical LED strip lighting illuminates the interior and makes the product contents clearly visible to customers without requiring separate display lighting.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:
- Glass door allows customers to view products without opening the cabinet, reducing unnecessary door openings
- LED interior lighting highlights merchandise without generating significant heat
- Digital temperature controller provides straightforward monitoring and adjustment
- Aluminium door frame contributes to durability in a busy service environment
- Available in two finishes to suit different front-of-house aesthetics
In terms of placement, this is a freestanding unit intended for floor-level installation. It will require a standard single-phase electrical supply and adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation — the exact clearance requirements should be confirmed before installation. It is not designed for use in ambient temperatures significantly above the standard range for commercial refrigeration equipment, so placement in well-ventilated areas is advisable.
The UR400SG is a practical choice for cafés, delis, convenience stores, hotel lobbies, or any operation that needs reliable chilled display in a moderate footprint. It is best suited to single-location display rather than high-throughput multi-door installations. Operators with larger volumes or back-of-house chilling requirements may find a higher-capacity or multi-door solution more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your space or service volume, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before you commit.
£1,411.00(£1,693.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 1200Ltr is a large-format upright display refrigerator built for commercial use. It holds up to twenty 2/1 GN trays at 100mm depth, making it directly compatible with standard gastronorm prep workflows without the need for adapters or workarounds. Double-glazed doors give staff a clear view of the cabinet contents, and a digital controller allows temperature to be monitored and adjusted throughout the day. The stainless steel exterior is practical in working kitchen conditions where surfaces take regular wear and cleaning.
Fan-assisted cooling distributes chilled air evenly across the cabinet, which helps maintain consistent temperatures across all shelf levels rather than concentrating cold air at the base. The unit carries a climate class 4 rating, meaning it is designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — relevant in kitchen environments where heat builds during service. As with any large double-door cabinet, keeping unnecessary door openings to a minimum during peak periods is sensible practice and will support temperature stability and recovery.
Operationally, this cabinet offers several practical advantages:
- Glass doors allow staff to locate items at a glance, reducing open-door time during service
- Full 2/1 GN compatibility means standard gastronorm trays load directly, simplifying batch prep and storage
- Digital temperature control gives a clear, reliable read on cabinet conditions at all times
- Stainless steel construction withstands the cleaning routines and surface demands of a working kitchen
- R290 refrigerant carries a low global warming potential, supporting environmental compliance requirements
At 180kg and 1340mm wide, this is a substantial unit that requires careful placement planning. The floor must be firm and level, and access routes to the installation point need to accommodate the cabinet's full footprint and height. Adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser is important — restricted airflow will affect both performance and the longevity of the refrigeration system. The unit operates on a single-phase supply; it is worth confirming available circuit capacity before installation, particularly where the location already carries a significant electrical load.
This cabinet is well suited to central production kitchens, hotel back-of-house, large restaurant prep areas, and food retail environments such as delis, farm shops, or larger cafés where high-volume chilled storage needs to sit alongside product visibility. Its 2/1 GN format makes it a natural fit for operations already working to gastronorm standards. Sites with more modest storage needs may find a single-door alternative more appropriate, while very high-throughput operations running multiple cold sections should consider whether a remote-refrigeration unit or walk-in solution would better meet the demand.
If you'd like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your space, volume, or workflow before making a decision, we're happy to help.
£557.00(£668.40 inc VAT)
The Tefcold FS1220 is a freestanding, single glass door upright merchandiser designed to display chilled bottles, cans, and packaged goods in retail and foodservice settings. Its reduced overall height sets it apart from full-height display refrigeration — it is a practical choice where ceiling clearance is restricted or where a unit needs to sit beneath a canopy or shelf without stepping down to an undercounter cabinet.
In a working service environment, the FS1220 maintains consistent chilled temperatures through regular door openings across the day. It is well suited to front-of-house positions in cafés, delis, smaller bars, and convenience-style retail counters where chilled soft drinks, beers, or packaged food need to remain visible and accessible to customers or staff throughout service. The clear glass door allows stock levels to be checked at a glance without opening the cabinet, which helps preserve temperature stability during busier periods.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages:
- Glass door display encourages customer self-selection and promotes product visibility
- Reduced cabinet height opens up siting options unavailable to full-height units
- Consistent chilling keeps stock service-ready throughout the day
- Straightforward interior layout supports quick restocking between service periods
- Tefcold's reliable build quality means minimal day-to-day intervention is required
The FS1220 is a freestanding unit requiring a standard mains electrical supply. Like all refrigerated display cabinets, it needs adequate clearance around the casing for ventilation — positioning it flush against walls on multiple sides, or enclosing it within joinery without accounting for airflow, can affect both performance and longevity. It is worth confirming floor footprint, ceiling height, and ventilation conditions at the intended location before ordering.
This unit is best suited to lower-to-moderate volume retail or foodservice sites that need chilled product display in a space-constrained setting. If your operation turns over significant chilled stock volume through the day, or if ceiling height is not a limiting factor, a larger capacity model would likely serve you better. Equally, if your chilled display needs are modest, a smaller unit may be more proportionate to the requirement.
If you would like to talk through whether this model fits your site layout and service volume before committing, our team is happy to help.
£440.00(£528.00 inc VAT)
The Tefcold FS80CP is a compact, single glass door countertop merchandiser designed to display chilled drinks and packaged goods at the point of sale. It sits on a counter or service surface and keeps products visible at a consistent serving temperature without customers needing to open the unit to browse.
In a bar, café, or convenience retail setting, product visibility at the point of decision has a direct effect on impulse purchases. The glass door allows customers to see what is available without repeatedly opening the cabinet, and fan-assisted cooling supports reasonable temperature recovery during busier periods when access is more frequent. The illuminated canopy adds further visibility to the display and can carry branding or promotional graphics, making it a practical front-of-house piece as well as a functional refrigeration unit.
For day-to-day operation, the main practical advantages include:
- Glass door keeps stock visible without customers needing to open the cabinet
- Fan-assisted cooling helps maintain even temperatures across all shelf levels
- Illuminated canopy and internal lighting improve product visibility at the point of sale
- Countertop format suits tight front-of-house spaces where a floor-standing unit is impractical
- Straightforward shelf layout supports quick, easy restocking during service
Installation is straightforward — the FS80CP is a plug-in unit requiring a standard mains socket with no water connection or specialist ventilation needed. When positioning the unit, allow adequate clearance around it for air circulation. It is not intended for back-of-house storage or high-throughput environments, and the capacity reflects its countertop format.
This unit is well suited to smaller hospitality and retail settings: coffee shops, hotel bars, convenience counters, and similar operations where chilled product display and impulse purchase visibility are the priority. For sites needing greater capacity or a floor-standing format, a larger merchandiser would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the FS80CP fits your counter layout or service setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you order.
£655.00(£786.00 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series is a single-door upright display refrigerator designed for chilled food and beverage merchandising in retail and light commercial environments. It operates across a standard chilled temperature range and presents products through a large double-glazed glass door with internal LED lighting, giving clear visibility across four adjustable shelves without the energy penalty of older fluorescent fittings.
In practice, this unit is well suited to sites where the fridge is primarily a display and storage piece rather than a high-frequency service point. Farm shops, convenience stores, small cafés, and waiting areas are typical applications. The C-Series is not positioned as a heavy-duty workhorse — it is designed for environments where access frequency is moderate and ambient conditions remain reasonable. Polar rate it for use in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, which covers most retail and front-of-house settings, though it would not be the first choice for a busy open kitchen where the unit is subject to constant door cycling during service.
From an operational standpoint, the white finish keeps the unit looking clean and unobtrusive in retail settings, and the digital controls make temperature monitoring straightforward for staff without specialist knowledge. The adjustable shelving gives some flexibility for displaying products of varying heights. Key practical points to note:
- Energy rating A — lower running costs compared to older or unrated display units
- R600a refrigerant with a low global warming potential of 3
- Double-glazed door helps maintain temperature when closed, reducing compressor workload
- LED interior lighting — long-lasting and generates less heat than fluorescent alternatives
- Four adjustable shelves for flexible product display
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It requires a standard single-phase mains connection and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation — positioning directly against a wall without rear clearance can affect performance and longevity. At 72kg, the unit is manageable for delivery and positioning but will need at least two people to move safely. It is free-standing and does not require any specialist installation beyond a level surface and a suitable power supply.
This model is a practical choice for low-to-medium footfall retail settings where presentation matters and operational demands are not extreme. If your site has higher throughput, a warmer ambient environment, or requires more frequent door access throughout the day, it would be worth considering a higher-capacity or more robust alternative from the wider range.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your specific setting or layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
£1,493.00(£1,791.60 inc VAT)
The Tefcold LGC5000 is a large-capacity freestanding chilled merchandiser with two full-height glazed doors. It is designed for front-of-house use where customers browse and select their own chilled products — soft drinks, bottled water, dairy, sandwiches, and similar grab-and-go lines. With over 1,100 litres of usable space across multiple adjustable shelves, the cabinet carries a wide product range without requiring constant restocking during busy periods.
The full-height glass doors allow customers to see the entire product range at a glance, which supports self-selection and naturally reduces how often the doors need to be opened. Vertical LED lighting runs the full height of the interior, keeping shelves evenly illuminated without adding meaningfully to running costs. An LED canopy at the top of the unit provides a practical space for branding or promotional signage, useful in high-footfall environments where you want to draw attention to specific lines.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:
- Full-height glass doors provide unobstructed product visibility without opening the cabinet
- Vertical LED lighting illuminates shelves evenly and keeps energy consumption low
- Stainless steel base panel is straightforward to wipe down and supports good hygiene practice
- Swivel castors allow the unit to be repositioned easily for cleaning or layout changes
- Lockable feet hold the unit firmly in place during normal service
Because the LGC5000 uses an integral refrigeration system, it needs adequate clearance around the cabinet for ventilation to function efficiently. It should not be positioned close to direct heat sources — ovens, hot counters, or heated display units — or in areas with strong direct sunlight, as these conditions increase compressor load and can affect temperature stability. In environments where ambient temperatures run consistently warm, it is worth reviewing the proposed siting carefully before installation.
This unit is well suited to convenience stores, petrol forecourts, cafés, deli counters, and workplace canteens where chilled display impact and self-service access are the priority. Smaller operations with limited floor space may find a single-door alternative more practical, while high-volume sites needing greater capacity should consider whether a larger-format option is a better match.
If you would like to talk through siting requirements or confirm whether this unit fits your layout and service volume, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.
£907.00(£1,088.40 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series is a full-height, single-door glass-front chiller designed for commercial food service and retail environments. It maintains a consistent chill throughout its interior and is built to hold temperature reliably in the ambient conditions found in working kitchens and serveries — including warmer environments where the mercury can rise during a busy service period.
In day-to-day operation, the G-Series handles continuous access without difficulty. The interior accepts 2/1 GN trays, which means preparation teams can load directly from the cold room using standard gastronorm pans rather than decanting into smaller containers — a practical time-saver during a busy prep shift. The adjustable shelving accommodates different stock arrangements, and where bulk cold storage takes priority over display, shelves can be removed to accept larger GN pans across the full interior height.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:
- Lockable castors allow repositioning or cleaning access without specialist assistance
- Digital temperature controls are straightforward for any member of the team to monitor
- Stainless steel construction supports hygienic cleaning regimes and resists the daily wear of commercial use
- The R600a refrigerant supports a B energy rating, helping to manage running costs across extended daily operation
- Climate class 4 rating confirms reliable performance in warmer kitchen and servery environments
At 135kg, this is not a unit to position into a tight corner without some forethought. Adequate clearance is needed for ventilation and full door swing, and it is worth confirming your available floor space and airflow arrangement before installation — particularly in kitchens where space is restricted. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply. The lockable castors assist with repositioning once in place, though the weight means it is sensible to plan delivery access in advance.
This model is well suited to farm shops, convenience stores, hotel serveries, staff restaurants, and similar operations that need reliable chilled display or accessible cold storage without a walk-in facility. It works equally well as a front-of-house display unit or a back-of-house prep fridge. For higher-volume operations or sites requiring multi-door capacity, a larger-format alternative would be worth considering. Where floor space is tight, a smaller-capacity model may be the more practical choice.
If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you make a decision.
£161.00(£193.20 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series is a compact under-counter display refrigerator designed to merchandise chilled drinks, bottled products and desserts in front-of-house environments. With a full-length glass door and internal lighting, it keeps product visible to customers without requiring them to open the unit — which helps maintain a stable cabinet temperature during busy periods.
In operational terms, this is a unit suited to low-to-moderate volume sites rather than high-throughput venues. The insulated double-glazed door and R600a refrigerant system support consistent temperature holding across the usable range, and the reversible door hinge gives some flexibility during installation when counter layouts are tight. Two adjustable shelves plus a half shelf allow for mixed bottle heights and packaged goods, which is useful where the product range changes seasonally or by service period.
Practical benefits for operators include:
- Digital temperature controls that are straightforward to set and monitor
- Adjustable shelving to accommodate bottles, cans and packaged desserts side by side
- Reversible door hinge for flexible counter placement
- Low running wattage, keeping energy consumption modest for a unit in continuous use
- White finish that suits front-of-house settings without looking out of place
The unit is designed to sit within a standard under-counter space and does not require any plumbing or drainage connection. It runs on a standard 13A plug, so no dedicated electrical supply is needed. That said, adequate ventilation around the unit is important — installing it in a fully enclosed space without airflow will affect performance and longevity. The carbon steel construction is appropriate for front-of-house use but is not intended for high-humidity back-of-house environments.
This fridge is well suited to small cafes, coffee shops, bar counters, hotel reception areas and similar settings where a compact merchandising unit is needed alongside a till or service point. For sites needing greater capacity or higher daily door-opening frequency, larger display cabinet options are available within the range.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your counter layout or service volume, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Polar C-Series curved door display fridge is a compact countertop refrigeration unit designed for front-of-house food and drink display. With a white finish, curved glass door, and internal LED lighting, it presents chilled products clearly and cleanly in customer-facing areas. Access from both front and rear doors makes restocking and cleaning straightforward without disrupting the display.
In terms of day-to-day performance, this unit is designed for lighter commercial use — environments where the door is opened periodically rather than continuously throughout a busy service. The Climate Class 4 rating means it operates reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, which covers most café, retail, and front-of-house environments. It holds temperature across the 0°C to 12°C range, making it well suited to soft drinks, pre-packaged sandwiches, salads, and dairy products.
The practical advantages for operators include:
- Front and rear door access for easy restocking without disturbing the display
- LED lighting that keeps products well lit while keeping running costs low
- Rear-mounted digital temperature panel for straightforward, accurate adjustment
- Compact countertop footprint suitable for counter ends, service points, and high-footfall positions
- A-rated energy efficiency, which helps reduce ongoing electricity costs
Installation is uncomplicated — the unit runs on a standard UK plug and requires no specialist connection. It is worth noting that this is a countertop unit, so the surface it sits on needs to be level and capable of supporting the loaded weight. There is no plumbed drainage, so condensate management should be factored into placement. This model is not designed for high-frequency door use or high-ambient back-of-house environments.
The C-Series sits at the lighter end of Polar's display refrigeration range and is best suited to cafés, sandwich shops, delis, small hotels, and similar operations where a tidy, energy-efficient countertop display is needed without the demands of high-volume or continuous-access service. For sites with heavier throughput or more frequent door access, a more robust display fridge from a higher-capacity range would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or environment, we are happy to talk through the options before you commit to a purchase.

The Hoshizaki Premier KG 70 C DR U is a full-height, single glass door upright display refrigerator designed for commercial catering environments where consistent temperature holding and product visibility are both important. The glass door format allows front-of-house or pass-adjacent placement, keeping refrigerated stock visible to staff without repeatedly breaking the seal on a solid door. The cabinet is built to Hoshizaki's Premier specification, which sits at the heavier-duty end of their display refrigeration range.
In a working kitchen or servery, this type of unit earns its place during busy service periods where the door is opened frequently. The cabinet is designed to recover quickly after door openings and maintain stable internal temperatures throughout service — important for both food safety compliance and product quality. The robust door hinges and stainless steel construction are well suited to the kind of daily wear that lighter-duty units often struggle with over time.
From an operational standpoint, the Premier range offers several practical advantages for catering teams:
- Glass door provides instant stock visibility, reducing door-open time during service
- Heavy-duty hinges and solid construction handle high-frequency use reliably
- Stainless steel interior and exterior supports straightforward cleaning routines
- Castor option allows repositioning in lower-ceiling or flexible kitchen layouts
- Climate Class 4 rating makes it suitable for warmer kitchen environments
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type — it requires a standard single-phase electrical connection and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation. The castor configuration is worth considering if the kitchen has a lower ceiling or if the unit may need to be moved periodically. As with all refrigeration, positioning away from direct heat sources and high-ambient areas will support efficiency and longevity.
This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotels, catering operations, and similar sites that need a dependable display fridge capable of handling sustained daily use. It is a practical choice where staff need quick visual access to refrigerated stock throughout service. For sites with very high footfall or multi-door requirements, it is worth considering whether a larger or multi-door configuration would better suit the volume involved.
If you are weighing up whether this model fits your kitchen layout and service requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£866.00(£1,039.20 inc VAT)
The Vestfrost M180 is a full-height, freestanding upright display refrigerator with a single glass door. It is designed to keep chilled products visible and accessible in a retail or front-of-house hospitality setting, running on a hydrocarbon refrigerant that carries a lower environmental impact than older refrigerant types such as R134a or R404A.
The ventilated cooling system is what makes this unit practical for day-to-day chilled display. Rather than relying on a static cold zone, the ventilated design circulates air across all shelf levels, helping to hold consistent temperatures from top shelf to bottom throughout a full trading day. That consistency matters for food safety compliance and for minimising stock wastage during long service periods. Automatic defrost keeps the unit running without manual intervention — a straightforward but important consideration in any site where staff are occupied elsewhere.
Key operational features worth noting:
- Ventilated cooling for consistent temperature across all shelf positions
- Built-in ECO mode to reduce energy draw during quieter trading periods
- Integrated LED door lighting improves product visibility without adding heat load
- Adjustable shelves to accommodate varying product heights and formats
- Lockable door, suitable for unsupervised or corridor display positions
Installation is straightforward — this is a freestanding unit requiring a standard mains electrical supply and adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. It is not intended for recessed or built-in installation. Positioning away from direct sunlight and heat-generating equipment will support more consistent performance and reduce strain on the compressor over time.
The M180 is well suited to single-operator cafés, small delis, convenience stores, hotel corridors, or any front-of-house position where chilled display is needed without the footprint of a multi-door bank. For sites with a broader product range or higher ambient temperatures, a wider or multi-door configuration would be worth considering.
If you are weighing this unit against other options or want to talk through whether it fits your space and service pattern, the team at Advantage Catering Equipment is glad to help before you make a decision.
£613.00(£735.60 inc VAT)
The Sterling Pro BBS225WOC is a slimline single-door display chiller designed to merchandise chilled products where floor space is limited. Its reduced depth footprint makes it a practical option for front-of-house counters, café service points, hotel bars, and convenience retail runs where a standard-width cabinet simply will not fit. Four adjustable shelves provide a reasonable holding capacity for the cabinet's size, and the white exterior with LED interior lighting keeps displayed stock presentable throughout trading hours.
In day-to-day operation this unit performs reliably in environments where a display chiller is expected to run continuously through service. The self-closing door helps maintain consistent internal temperatures during busy periods when staff are regularly opening and closing the cabinet. It is worth being clear about its limitations: this is not the right choice for a high-turnover grab-and-go operation with very frequent door cycling — those environments typically benefit from a more heavily specified unit built for that workload.
Practical advantages in a working environment:
- Slim profile fits spaces that standard-width display fridges cannot
- Self-closing door reduces temperature loss during service
- LED interior lighting improves product visibility without adding heat build-up
- Aluminium interior wipes down quickly between service periods
- Adjustable shelving supports flexible product layouts
Installation is straightforward — this is a freestanding unit requiring only a standard mains supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet. It should not be positioned hard against a wall or inside an enclosed recess without first checking the manufacturer's ventilation guidance, as restricted airflow will affect both performance and the longevity of the refrigeration system. It is intended for indoor, temperature-controlled environments and is not suited to external or unheated storage areas.
This chiller is well suited to independent cafés, delis, hotel bars, small restaurants, and retail counters where display space is at a premium and the volume of stock held at any one time is modest. If your operation requires significantly greater capacity or handles very frequent door access, it is worth considering a larger-format alternative before committing to this model.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your space and service style, the team at Advantage are glad to help before you place an order.
£1,593.00(£1,911.60 inc VAT)
The True T-15G-HC is a single-section upright refrigerator with a full-height glass door, built for foodservice environments where product visibility and consistent chilled storage need to work together. It sits within True's established commercial refrigeration range and is commonly found in cafés, delis, hotel serveries, and front-of-house grab-and-go areas where staff or customers need to identify contents quickly without opening the door repeatedly.
True has a well-regarded reputation in the commercial refrigeration sector for producing units that hold temperature reliably through continuous service. The glass door allows visual stock checks without introducing the temperature fluctuation that comes with repeated door opening, which matters during busy service periods when the cabinet is being accessed frequently. The cabinet construction is designed for the demands of daily commercial operation rather than light or occasional use.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages this unit offers are:
- Clear product visibility supports faster service and more informed stock rotation
- Consistent temperature hold reduces food safety risk during peak trading periods
- Self-contained refrigeration system keeps installation straightforward
- Robust cabinet build suited to continuous daily commercial use
- Interior layout accommodates a practical range of foodservice packaging formats
As a self-contained unit, it does not require remote condensing equipment, which simplifies siting considerably. That said, adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser is important — placing the unit in a poorly ventilated or unusually warm environment will affect efficiency and could shorten service life. It is worth confirming the proposed location meets True's clearance recommendations before installation, and verifying the electrical supply at your site is compatible before ordering.
This refrigerator is well suited to smaller foodservice operations, servery counters, and front-of-house display areas, or as a supplementary chilled unit alongside larger back-of-house refrigeration. For higher-volume sites requiring greater capacity or multi-door configurations, a larger unit from the True range may be more appropriate.
If you would like to talk through whether this model suits your site layout or service requirements before ordering, the team is glad to help.
£474.00(£568.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series upright display fridge is a single-door chilled merchandiser designed for front-of-house use. The full-height double-glazed door lets customers view and select products without needing staff assistance, and the white finish gives it a clean, neutral appearance that works well in café, bar and convenience retail settings. Internal lighting and an overhead display panel help present products clearly, while four adjustable shelves allow the cabinet to be configured around different bottle and product heights.
In day-to-day operation this is a reliable, consistent cabinet rather than a high-throughput production unit. It holds temperature steadily within the chilled food and drink range, and the R600a refrigerant contributes to reasonably low running costs relative to comparable units. The B energy rating reflects sensible efficiency for a cabinet of this size. The unit is rated for ambient conditions up to 32°C, which covers the majority of UK front-of-house environments, though sites with consistently high ambient temperatures — such as kitchens without adequate ventilation — should factor this into their decision.
Practical features that support front-of-house use include:
- Lockable double-glazed door for stock security in unattended or self-service settings
- Internal LED-style lighting for clear product visibility throughout the cabinet
- Four adjustable shelves to suit different product sizes and layouts
- R600a refrigerant with a lower global warming potential than older alternatives
- White finish suited to retail, café and hospitality front-of-house environments
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It runs from a standard 13A mains connection and requires adequate ventilation clearance — particularly at the rear and top — for the condenser to operate efficiently. At 124kg, it is a substantial cabinet and access routes, flooring suitability and ceiling clearance should all be checked before delivery is arranged. The footprint is compact enough for tighter front-of-house spaces, but the full standing height means the final position needs to be chosen with care.
This cabinet is well suited to cafés, small bars, visitor attractions, convenience retail areas and similar settings where chilled drinks and snacks need to be displayed and accessed directly by customers. It is not intended as a high-volume back-of-house storage unit. For busier sites that need greater capacity, additional doors, or a higher-specification cabinet, there are larger options within the range worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your space and service setup, the team is happy to help before you place an order.
£455.00(£546.00 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series is a compact countertop refrigerated merchandiser designed for short-term chilled display of pre-packaged food and drinks. It is commonly used at point of sale in cafés, delis, sandwich bars, hotel lobbies, and similar hospitality settings where customers serve themselves from a chilled cabinet positioned within easy reach.
The unit maintains a temperature range of 2°C to 6°C, making it appropriate for displaying pre-packed sandwiches, cold drinks, yoghurts, desserts, and similar chilled snacks. The front-hinged glass door keeps contents visible and accessible to customers while providing a physical barrier against ambient contamination — an advantage over fully open-fronted units, which can lose temperature more readily during busy periods and introduce hygiene considerations in high-footfall areas.
From an operational standpoint, the G-Series offers a number of practical advantages for front-of-house use:
- Digital temperature control at the rear allows straightforward adjustment to suit the contents being displayed
- Stainless steel and glass construction supports easy cleaning and daily maintenance
- The hinged door helps retain cold air between customer interactions, contributing to more consistent temperatures
- Compact footprint allows placement on counters, servery units, or near till points without major disruption to existing layouts
- R600a refrigerant and a B energy rating reflect reasonably efficient operation for a unit of this class
One consideration worth noting: this unit is designed for short-term chilled display rather than extended overnight or 24-hour storage. If your operation requires a merchandiser to hold stock across long periods or in a warmer ambient environment, it is worth discussing whether a higher-specification unit would be more appropriate for your setup.
The G-Series suits smaller sites and lower-volume point-of-sale positions well. For busier operations carrying a broader range of chilled products, or where the cabinet will be under near-constant use throughout service, a larger or heavier-duty merchandiser may serve better in the long run.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your throughput, environment, or display requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£1,544.00(£1,852.80 inc VAT)
The True TUC-24G-HC is a single glass door undercounter refrigerator from True's established TUC range, built for commercial foodservice use from the ground up. At 158 litres, it sits in a practical mid-capacity position — compact enough to slide beneath a standard preparation counter, yet sufficiently roomy to hold a meaningful amount of refrigerated stock at the point where it is actually needed. The glass door allows kitchen staff to identify contents without breaking the cold seal, which has a genuine impact during a busy service when repeated, unnecessary door openings are a common source of temperature instability.
True has built the TUC range around a forced-air refrigeration system rather than static cooling. In a working kitchen that distinction matters. Forced-air circulation maintains an even temperature throughout the cabinet even when the door is opened frequently during peak service. Static systems can struggle to recover quickly under those conditions, leading to temperature drift that has implications for both food safety and product quality. True's recognised commercial build standard translates to the kind of day-to-day reliability that operators need from equipment that cannot afford to fail mid-service.
From a practical standpoint, the unit offers several operational advantages worth noting:
- Glass door reduces unnecessary openings by making stock immediately visible
- Forced-air system supports consistent holding temperatures across the full cabinet
- Undercounter format keeps refrigerated stock to hand without consuming worktop space
- R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant aligns with current UK and European environmental requirements
- Commercial build quality suited to continuous daily use in demanding kitchen environments
Installation requires a standard single-phase electrical supply. As with all undercounter refrigeration, it is worth confirming adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet before positioning it within a run of equipment. Restricted airflow is one of the more common contributors to compressor wear and inconsistent performance over time. The unit is designed for indoor, temperature-controlled environments and is not appropriate for outdoor or unheated spaces.
This unit is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, café and bar service areas, and dedicated prep stations where reliable localised refrigeration is needed without the footprint of an upright cabinet. It also works sensibly as a secondary unit in larger operations where chilled stock needs to be staged close to a specific workstation. Sites with significantly higher throughput or storage demands may find a larger undercounter or upright model within the True range a better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your kitchen layout or service pattern before making a decision, we are glad to help.
£2,419.00(£2,902.80 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series deli display fridge is a 1200mm wide, front-of-house refrigerated display unit designed to keep chilled food and drinks visible, well presented and consistently at safe serving temperature. It uses forced air cooling to maintain an even temperature throughout the cabinet, making it well suited to environments where doors are opened frequently throughout the day.
In busy food retail and hospitality settings — delis, café counters, hotel buffets and grab-and-go operations — consistent temperature recovery is important. The U-Series handles a climate class 4 rating, meaning it maintains its operating range reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, which is relevant for kitchens and service areas that run warm during peak hours. The forced air system also helps prevent localised warm spots when stock is rotated or the cabinet is partially loaded.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers a practical combination of features for display-led service:
- Four-sided glazing gives customers and staff clear visibility from multiple angles
- Rear sliding doors allow staff to restock quickly without disrupting the front display
- Internal LED lighting illuminates the cabinet evenly and runs at low energy cost
- Anti-fog triple-glazed glass maintains visibility without manual wiping during service
- Black glass shelving provides a neutral backdrop that suits most food and drink products
The cabinet uses R290 refrigerant, which carries a global warming potential of just 3 — a consideration for operators mindful of environmental compliance. With an energy rating of B, it represents a meaningful efficiency improvement over older equivalent models, which has a measurable effect on running costs over time.
At 215kg, installation requires adequate floor loading and enough clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. The unit runs on a standard mains supply and does not require a plumbed drain, but siting should be planned to avoid direct sunlight or proximity to heat-generating equipment, both of which will affect refrigeration efficiency. It is not designed for back-of-house or high-humidity wash areas.
This unit is well suited to delis, cafés, convenience stores, hotel buffet areas and any front-of-house setting where chilled product display and fast restocking are a daily operational requirement. For higher-volume sites or installations requiring a larger footprint, alternatives with greater capacity are available in the range.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your space or service volumes, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit to a purchase.
£1,731.00(£2,077.20 inc VAT)
The True GDM-23-HC is a single glass door upright merchandiser refrigerator intended for front-of-house chilled display. It is designed to allow customers to browse and select chilled drinks or packaged food independently, without needing to ask staff or open the door to see what is available. That browse-without-opening characteristic helps the cabinet hold a stable internal temperature even during busy periods when footfall past the unit is constant.
True Refrigeration has a well-established reputation for consistent, long-run performance in commercial environments, and the GDM range in particular is commonly found on sites operating across extended trading days. The refrigeration system is built to recover promptly after door openings rather than lag behind traffic — an important consideration in any counter-service or retail setting where the door will be opened repeatedly throughout the day.
From a practical operational standpoint, the GDM-23-HC offers several useful advantages:
- Glass door lets customers browse without opening, reducing temperature fluctuation through service
- Upright footprint makes efficient use of floor space while presenting product across multiple height levels
- Self-contained refrigeration system means no remote condenser or separate plant room is needed
- Interior lighting aids product visibility in the lower-light conditions common in front-of-house areas
- Built for continuous operation across long trading hours without performance compromise
Installation is relatively straightforward for a commercial refrigeration unit of this class. As a self-contained plug-in cabinet, it avoids the complexity associated with remote refrigeration systems. That said, adequate ventilation clearance around the unit — particularly at the rear and above — is important to allow the condenser to dissipate heat effectively. Restricted airflow will increase running costs and add unnecessary strain over time. It is worth confirming the electrical supply and confirming the intended position with your installer before the unit is delivered.
This cabinet is well suited to smaller retail and hospitality operations: cafés, delis, convenience outlets, and similar front-of-house environments where a single-door format comfortably covers the display volume required. Sites with higher footfall or a need for substantially greater chilled capacity may find a multi-door format a more practical fit, and it is worth discussing that before committing.
If you would like to talk through whether the GDM-23-HC suits your layout, trading pattern, or available space, our team is happy to help you work through it.
£1,569.00(£1,882.80 inc VAT)
The True GDM-19T-HC~TSL01 is a single-section upright merchandiser refrigerator with a full-height hinged glass door, designed for the chilled display of beverages, packaged foods, and retail-style products. It is built to True Refrigeration's commercial specification and intended for front-of-house environments where both product visibility and consistent holding temperature matter throughout the trading day — cafés, staff canteens, grab-and-go counters, and convenience retail areas being typical applications.
True merchandisers are a well-regarded choice in commercial settings precisely because they are designed for continuous use rather than the intermittent cycling of domestic or light-duty equipment. The cabinet maintains stable internal conditions during repeated door openings, which is a practical requirement in any operation where customers or staff are accessing the unit regularly across a service period. The self-contained refrigeration system is built with that kind of sustained demand in mind.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages:
- Full-height glass door provides clear product visibility without opening the cabinet
- Upright format makes efficient use of floor space in serving or retail areas
- Front-access design allows straightforward restocking during service without disruption
- Interior lighting supports product presentation without significantly adding to heat load
- Robust commercial construction suited to daily front-of-house use
This is a self-contained, floor-standing unit requiring a standard mains electrical supply. Adequate ventilation clearance is needed around the cabinet — particularly at the rear and top where the condensing unit exhausts heat — and it should be sited away from direct heat sources such as ovens or direct sunlight, both of which will affect running efficiency and could shorten equipment life. Position on a level, load-bearing surface in a well-ventilated room.
This model is well suited to smaller foodservice operations, retail display points, or secondary chilled merchandising positions within larger sites — any setting where a single-door cabinet of this capacity matches the throughput requirement. For higher-volume sites or operations needing extended multi-door display capacity, a larger unit from within the True range is likely the more appropriate choice.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your site before placing an order, the team is happy to help.
£736.00(£883.20 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series 235-litre display fridge is a single-door upright merchandising unit designed to keep chilled drinks, sandwiches, cakes, and similar impulse-purchase products visible and accessible at the point of sale. The curved glass door and four-sided visibility are the defining features here — the cabinet is built around presentation as much as refrigeration, making it a practical choice wherever front-of-house product display matters.
In practice, this unit is well suited to lower-throughput environments. Polar position the C-Series as everyday commercial refrigeration for less demanding conditions, and that framing is worth taking seriously. The cabinet operates within a climate class 4 rating, meaning it handles ambient temperatures up to 32°C, which covers most café and retail environments in the UK. It is not designed for high-traffic kitchen pass situations or environments where the door is opened continuously throughout a long service. For quieter locations — a reception display, a small café counter, or a deli-style cold shelf — it performs reliably within its intended scope.
The practical benefits for day-to-day operation include:
- Internal LED lighting keeps products visible without adding significant heat load
- Four adjustable shelves allow flexible configuration for different product heights
- A-rated energy efficiency and R290 refrigerant help to keep running costs and environmental impact in check
- The self-service door design suits both assisted and customer-facing layouts
- Straightforward interior surfaces make routine cleaning quick and uncomplicated
Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit is freestanding and requires only a standard mains electrical connection. At 79kg it is substantial but manageable with two people. Allow adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and door swing. This is a front-of-house cabinet rather than a back-of-house workhorse, and it should be sited accordingly — avoid positioning it directly adjacent to heat-generating equipment such as ovens or grills, as ambient heat will affect performance and energy consumption.
This fridge is best suited to small cafés, coffee shops, delis, hotel lobbies, and similar lower-volume retail or hospitality settings where product visibility drives sales. If your operation involves frequent door access throughout a long service shift, or if you need to hold a significantly larger product range, a higher-capacity or more heavily specified unit would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet is the right fit for your space and service style, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
£1,129.00(£1,354.80 inc VAT)
The Tefcold LGC2500 is a full-height, single glass door upright merchandiser designed for displaying chilled products in retail and food service environments. With a generous internal capacity spread across a relatively modest floor footprint, it offers a practical balance for operators who need to present a broad product range without dedicating a large section of floor space to refrigeration.
In day-to-day use, this style of cabinet is most commonly found in convenience stores, café counters, hotel grab-and-go areas, staff canteens, and similar settings where chilled drinks, dairy, snacks, or prepared foods need to be accessible throughout the trading day. The full-height glass door gives clear sightlines across the entire display, allowing customers to browse and select independently. During periods of steady footfall, the cabinet holds temperature reliably through repeated door openings — which matters more than it might seem when the unit is in continuous use across a long service period.
From an operational standpoint, a few practical points are worth noting:
- Vertical LED lighting provides consistent product illumination with low heat gain inside the cabinet
- An LED canopy above the door offers a useful space for branding or promotional signage
- Stainless steel base construction supports daily cleaning and resists routine wear
- Castors allow straightforward repositioning during cleaning or layout changes; locking feet keep the unit stable in service
- Designed to pair alongside compatible Tefcold freezer merchandisers where a consistent display layout is required
Installation is freestanding and requires no dedicated water supply or drainage connection. The unit needs a suitable mains electrical supply and adequate rear clearance for ventilation. Ambient room temperature has a direct bearing on how efficiently the cabinet operates, so placement away from direct heat sources, poorly ventilated areas, or working kitchen lines is advisable — particularly relevant in food service settings where ambient temperatures rise during service.
The LGC2500 is well suited to single-site operators, smaller food service venues, and grab-and-go concepts where a high-capacity single-door unit is needed without a large footprint. For sites with higher product turnover, heavier footfall, or multi-door display requirements, a larger configuration within the range is worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your space, product mix, or expected footfall, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit.
£1,068.00(£1,281.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 950-litre double door display cooler is a large-format upright refrigerator designed for food retail environments where chilled product needs to be visible, accessible and well-presented. The black painted steel finish and integrated overhead light box give it a clean, purposeful appearance that sits comfortably in farm shops, convenience stores, delis and similar food retail settings. This is a display unit first and foremost — the glass hinged doors are there to drive product visibility and encourage customer selection, not simply to store stock out of sight.
With 950 litres of usable space across two doors and ten adjustable shelves, the unit offers genuine flexibility in how stock is arranged and rotated. The R290 refrigerant and climate class 4 rating mean it is suited to warmer ambient environments — relevant for shops where doors open frequently throughout trading hours. Temperature is maintained reliably across the 2°C to 10°C operating range, which covers the full spectrum of standard chilled retail products including dairy, cooked meats, soft drinks and packaged produce. The B energy rating reflects reasonably efficient running costs for a unit of this size, which matters when the cooler is operating continuously through long retail days.
From a practical standpoint, the hinged door configuration suits locations where staff or customers need straightforward access to shelves without the complexity of sliding mechanisms. Key operational advantages include:
- Ten adjustable shelves allowing flexible product ranging and easy restocking
- Overhead light box enhances product visibility without requiring separate display lighting
- R290 refrigerant with climate class 4 rating handles warmer front-of-house environments
- Black painted steel finish suits premium retail and deli-style presentation
- Consistent temperature control across a wide chilled range supports varied product mixes
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this class, but the 177kg weight means delivery and positioning should be planned carefully — adequate access and a level, solid floor are important from the outset. The unit runs on a standard electrical supply, though it is worth confirming your existing supply and any local ventilation requirements before installation, particularly if the unit is sited in a confined space or close to heat sources. This is not a unit that belongs in a poorly ventilated corner.
This cooler is well suited to independent retailers, farm shops, delis, convenience stores and café or bakery settings where a substantial chilled display is needed and front-of-house presentation matters. For smaller sites or lower-volume requirements, a single-door or smaller-capacity model would be a more proportionate choice. For high-throughput operations requiring rapid restocking from the rear, a back-bar or remote-chilled alternative may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your space or trading pattern, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to a purchase.
The Hoshizaki KG220L DR G U is a compact undercounter refrigerator with a glass door, built for commercial environments where cold storage is needed but floor space is genuinely limited. It sits within Hoshizaki's Compact series and is designed to work equally well in front-of-house display roles — a bar counter, coffee station, or service pass — as it does in a back-of-house prep area. The glass door allows operators to check contents at a glance without opening the cabinet, which reduces unnecessary door cycles and helps the unit hold a stable temperature during service.
In day-to-day use, this unit performs reliably in the steady, moderate-demand conditions typical of cafés, smaller restaurants, hotel bars, and hospitality prep areas. Hoshizaki's air distribution system circulates cool air evenly through the cabinet, supporting consistent food safety compliance without requiring constant adjustment. Automatic defrost with re-evaporation of defrost water keeps routine maintenance low and means there is no need to drain the unit during normal service periods.
Key operational advantages include:
- A-rated energy efficiency, keeping running costs manageable over time
- Low noise output, well suited to open or front-of-house environments
- Internal LED lighting for clear visibility without adding heat to the cabinet
- Full-height integrated handle for easy, hygienic one-handed access
- Reversible door hinging for flexible positioning within an existing layout
- Door lock for security where contents require it
The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply and has a compact footprint that fits neatly under counters or within a cabinetry run. As with any undercounter refrigerator, adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser is important — fitting the unit tightly against surrounding cabinetry without the recommended clearance will affect both performance and long-term reliability, so it is worth confirming your available space before installation.
This model is a practical choice for bars, coffee shops, small kitchens, and front-of-house service counters where space efficiency is a priority. It is not intended to replace full Gastronorm-rated undercounter equipment used in high-throughput kitchen lines, and operators with heavier or higher-volume cold storage demands may find a larger undercounter or upright unit a better match for their setup.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your space, service style, and existing layout, our team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

Start with where the fridge will sit and how much you need to display. In the models we list, capacities run from 22 litres to over 2,000 litres, and the range covers more than we can summarise here.
- Countertop: Polar C-Series and G-Series countertop fridges, the Tefcold FS80CP drinks merchandiser and the True TSD-09G-HC-LD.
- Undercounter: Hoshizaki KG220R and KG220L, True TUC-24G-HC and the Polar C-Series under counter display fridge.
- Single door upright: Tefcold UR400G, Hoshizaki KG420R, Vestfrost M180 and True T-15G-HC.
- Double door and large capacity: Tefcold FS890H, Polar G-Series 1200Ltr Gastro and True T-49G-HC.
Door style and display
Hinged doors are the most common, while sliding doors, such as the Tefcold FS1002S and Polar U-Series Deli 385Ltr, suit tighter aisles where a swinging door would get in the way. You will also find curved glass doors in the Polar C-Series, slimline units like the Tefcold FSC175H and Sterling Pro BBS225WOC, a Polar G-Series multideck, a Polar light box model and the Lincat D5R/100B rear-service merchandiser.
Choosing a brand
Polar offers the widest spread of sizes, in black and white finishes. Tefcold covers many merchandiser sizes, True Refrigeration lists GDM and T-series units, and Hoshizaki has compact undercounter and upright fridges. Check each product page for dimensions and capacity before you order.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right size of glass door display fridge?
Measure the space where it will go, including door clearance, then decide how much stock you need to show. Capacities in this range start at 22 litres and go past 2,000 litres for the largest multi-door merchandisers.
What is the difference between countertop, undercounter and upright models?
Countertop units sit on a worktop and suit small displays, undercounter units fit beneath a counter, and uprights stand on the floor for the most display space. Product titles usually say which format a model is.
Should I choose hinged or sliding glass doors?
Hinged doors are the usual choice where there is room to open them fully. Sliding doors suit narrow gaps and busy walkways, and we list sliding door models from Tefcold and Polar.
