Lincat Commercial Grills

The Lincat LCG2 is a countertop double contact grill that cooks food simultaneously from above and below using enamelled cast iron plates. That direct two-sided contact makes it a practical choice for fast-paced foodservice — paninis, flatbreads, burgers, chicken fillets, and fish all cook through evenly without the operator having to flip or monitor constantly. The branded finish the plates produce is consistent enough to suit a range of menu formats.

In service, cast iron holds heat well as orders come through in succession, helping maintain consistency without the temperature drop that thinner plate materials can cause. The unit reaches working temperature from cold reasonably quickly, which suits operations where the grill is switched on and off across the day rather than left running continuously. Thermostatic control removes the guesswork from temperature management during busy periods.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the LCG2 offers several practical advantages:

• Two-sided contact cooking shortens ticket times compared to a conventional open grill
• Thermostatic control maintains consistent results through sustained service
• Enamelled cast iron plates clean down straightforwardly between or after service
• Balanced hinge applies even pressure across the plate without crushing lighter fillings
• Compact countertop footprint suits most pass or servery configurations

Installation is straightforward — the LCG2 runs on single-phase power and needs only a suitable socket, with no gas or water connections required. It should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around the unit. If your operation regularly grills higher-fat products, it is worth reviewing local ventilation arrangements before siting the grill.

The LCG2 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations where contact grilling is a regular but not extremely high-volume part of the menu. For sites running sustained high throughput across a full service day, a heavier-duty model with greater plate area may be a more appropriate match.

If you would like to talk through whether the LCG2 fits your menu and service patterns, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Lincat CG6 is a freestanding gas chargrill built for commercial kitchen use. It generates cooking heat through a radiant element system rather than lava rock, which is the more commonly found arrangement in modern commercial chargrills. The cooking grid sits above the radiant assembly and can be adjusted in height, giving the operator direct control over searing intensity and the degree of char applied to different proteins and produce.

In a working kitchen, the CG6 handles a broad range of menu items competently. Steaks, chicken portions, fish fillets, pressed burgers and vegetables all respond well to direct radiant heat, and the grid produces the defined branding marks that contribute to plate presentation without any additional prep or finishing steps. Twin heat zones allow different items requiring different temperatures to run simultaneously across the cooking surface — a practical advantage during busy covers when the grill needs to work across multiple ticket lines at once. The grids retain heat well, so branding consistency holds even when the surface is loaded.

Key operational advantages include:

• Twin heat zones allow independent temperature control across the cooking surface
• Adjustable grid height gives precise control over searing intensity per protein type
• Radiant system removes the ongoing cost and maintenance burden of lava rock
• Gas operation delivers immediate, responsive heat adjustment throughout service
• Defined grill marks improve plate presentation without additional finishing effort

Installation requires a natural gas or LPG supply and must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The CG6 generates a significant volume of smoke and grease-laden vapour during operation and must be positioned beneath a correctly sized extraction canopy — a standard ventilation system may not provide adequate extraction for continuous chargrill use. Allow sufficient clearance around the unit for both safe operation and cleaning access. The radiant assembly and underside will need regular attention to prevent grease accumulation, which is both a hygiene requirement and a fire safety consideration.

The CG6 is well suited to restaurant kitchens, pub dining operations and hotel restaurants where chargrilling features regularly on the menu and service volumes run at moderate to high levels. It operates as a standalone unit rather than a modular suite component, which suits kitchens where the chargrill forms one part of a broader cooking battery. For sites with extended service periods and very heavy chargrill demand running continuously, it is worth considering whether a wider-format or heavier-duty unit would better match the throughput required.

If you would like to talk through how the CG6 would work within your kitchen setup and service pattern, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

The Lincat LSC Pizzachef is a countertop infrared grill designed for commercial kitchens that need fast, reliable top-down heat in a compact footprint. It uses infrared heating elements to deliver direct, intense heat from above, making it well suited to finishing pizzas, melting toppings, glazing dishes, and a range of general browning and grilling tasks. Variable heat control on the lower element gives operators the flexibility to adjust output across different food types during the same service, and a built-in electric timer supports consistent results without constant supervision.

In a working kitchen, the value of a unit like this comes down to speed and dependability. It heats up quickly at the start of service and stays ready throughout, handling the steady flow of finishing tasks that a busy café, pizza operation, or small restaurant generates. It is worth being clear about its positioning, though — the LSC is a compact finishing grill, not a high-output overhead salamander intended for sustained heavy use across large covers. It works best where a reliable, versatile finishing station is needed rather than a dedicated high-throughput grilling position.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, a few practical details make it straightforward to live with:

• Enamel fascia wipes down quickly after service with minimal effort
• Rod shelf with stay-cool handles allows safe repositioning without interrupting service
• Variable lower element control supports different finishing tasks across a single service
• Electric timer reduces the risk of over-grilling during busy periods

As a countertop electric unit, the LSC needs a suitable power supply and should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance above and around it for ventilation. Kitchens running higher covers or requiring sustained heavy-duty output are likely to find a larger overhead salamander a better fit.

The LSC Pizzachef is well suited to smaller restaurants, pizza kitchens, cafés, and any operation where a dependable, versatile finishing grill is needed without the footprint or cost of a full overhead unit. It is a sensible choice for operators who need flexibility across lighter finishing tasks rather than dedicated continuous grilling capacity.

If you are trying to work out whether this unit is the right match for your service volume or kitchen layout, we are happy to talk it through.

The Lincat LPG2 is a countertop double contact grill designed for commercial kitchen use. It cooks food simultaneously from both sides using ribbed enamelled cast iron plates, with two independent cooking zones that allow different products to be grilled at the same time. Burgers, chicken fillets, steaks, paninis and wraps are all handled comfortably, making it a practical all-round grilling unit for kitchens running a mixed menu.

Contact grills reduce cook times considerably compared to flat griddles or open grills, and cast iron plates hold heat well through a sustained service — not just during the opening covers. The ribbed surface leaves clean grill marks on meat, fish and bread products, which matters to operators who want a finished appearance without investing in a charcoal or char grill setup. The two zones operate independently, so different products can run at different temperatures without any crossover between them.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the LPG2 offers several practical advantages:

• Two independent zones support mixed grilling without flavour transfer between products
• Enamelled cast iron plates are durable and straightforward to clean down after service
• Thermostatic temperature control helps maintain consistent results across different menu items
• Ribbed plates produce visible branding lines on meat, fish and bread
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where worktop space is limited

Installation is straightforward — this is a countertop electric unit requiring a suitable power supply and a stable, heat-resistant surface. Allow adequate clearance above and around the unit to manage the heat generated during service, and confirm available socket provision before ordering. Counter depth is worth checking given the combined footprint of the two heads.

The LPG2 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, small restaurants and fast-casual operations that need reliable grilling output without committing to a larger appliance. Sites running sustained high volumes throughout a long service may find a heavier-duty unit with a greater plate area a more appropriate fit.

If you would like guidance on whether this model is the right match for your service volumes and kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Lincat Silverlink 600 GR3 is an electric overhead salamander grill designed for general-purpose grilling, browning, toasting, and finishing dishes in a commercial kitchen. It sits within Lincat's long-established Silverlink 600 range — equipment that has been a consistent presence in UK professional kitchens for many years and has earned a straightforward reputation for dependable performance without unnecessary complication.

In service, the GR3 handles the repetitive overhead grilling tasks that lighter or domestic-grade equipment simply cannot sustain across a full service. The dual-zone electric elements heat promptly and hold consistent overhead heat, which matters when dishes need browning or finishing to order without backing up the pass. Simmerstat temperature control is uncomplicated to operate, and kitchen staff tend to get to grips with it quickly — a practical advantage during busy periods and when bringing on new team members.

Several features of the GR3 translate well into day-to-day kitchen operation:

• Five shelf positions allow operators to adjust heat distance for different tasks, from gentle finishing to direct high-heat browning
• The chrome-plated wire shelf doubles as a toast rack, removing the need for a separate piece of equipment
• An integral fat collection channel and supplied crumb tray keep end-of-service cleaning manageable
• The reversible branding plate with EasiLift tilt-and-lift mechanism adds flexibility for light branding work without a separate piece of kit
• Single-control operation keeps workflow straightforward and reduces the learning curve for new staff

As an electric unit, the GR3 does not require a gas connection, which can simplify installation in kitchens where gas points are limited or where an all-electric setup is preferred. It is worth confirming that the available electrical supply is suitable before ordering. The unit can be wall- or worktop-mounted to suit the kitchen layout, but placement decisions should account for adequate overhead extraction and clear access above the unit during sustained use.

The GR3 is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, hotel operations, and similar sites where a reliable overhead grill is needed for regular service without the throughput demands of a high-volume catering environment. For kitchens running significantly higher cover counts or with more intensive continuous grilling requirements, a heavier-duty salamander is worth considering.

If you are weighing up whether the GR3 fits your kitchen setup and service pattern, the team is glad to talk it through before you commit.

The Lincat Silverlink 600 GR7 is a gas-fired overhead salamander grill designed for commercial kitchen use. It uses ceramic plaque burners to deliver intense radiant heat from above, making it well suited to grilling, browning, glazing, toasting, and finishing dishes to order during service. It sits within the Silverlink 600 range, which is built to a consistent footprint and is a common choice for mid-volume catering operations.

The ceramic plaque burners reach working temperature quickly, which keeps warm-up time before service short and allows the unit to return to full output rapidly after loading. Variable heat settings give the operator genuine control, so the same grill can handle delicate glazing passes and high-heat grilling at peak times without any need to switch between pieces of equipment. In continuous use across a lunch and dinner service, it performs consistently without significant drop in output.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GR7 offers several practical advantages:

• Variable burner control handles both gentle finishing and full-output grilling in the same unit
• Enamelled hood and interior resist grease build-up and clean down quickly after service
• Ceramic plaques reach working temperature promptly, keeping pre-service preparation efficient
• Supplied with crumb tray and toasting grid as standard, ready to use from day one

The GR7 is a gas appliance and must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer to a suitable supply. It requires positioning beneath an appropriate extraction canopy. The unit is designed to sit on a shelf or wall bracket above the cooking line, so it is worth confirming available height clearance and the location of the gas supply point before ordering — particularly if you are fitting it into an existing range suite or a tight run of equipment.

The GR7 is a practical choice for restaurants, bistros, pub kitchens, and contract catering operations running a moderate to busy service, particularly where the salamander is expected to work consistently across multiple sessions each day. For very high-volume sites running continuous heavy output, a heavier-duty model with greater capacity may be worth considering. Equally, if the requirement is lighter or more occasional, a smaller unit may represent better value.

If you would like to talk through how the GR7 fits your kitchen layout, gas supply, or service demands, the team is available to help before you commit to an order.

The Lincat Silverlink 600 GR3 is a gas-fired overhead salamander grill designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. It uses ceramic plaque burners to generate consistent radiant heat from above, making it suitable for grilling, browning, glazing, toasting, and finishing dishes during service. As part of Lincat's established Silverlink 600 range, it can sit within a Silverlink suite or operate as a standalone unit mounted above a range or preparation surface.

Ceramic plaque burners heat up quickly and hold their output steadily, which is important when a kitchen needs to finish several covers in close succession. Variable heat control across the burners gives chefs the flexibility to run at full intensity for direct grilling and pull back for gentler finishing or melting work. Recovery between dishes is reliable, making the unit practical when service is continuous rather than intermittent.

From an operational standpoint, the GR3 offers several day-to-day advantages:

• Enamelled interior and hood make end-of-service cleaning straightforward
• Crumb tray supplied as standard, reducing debris build-up on the surface below
• Toasting grid included, extending the unit's usefulness beyond direct grilling
• Variable burner control supports different cooking tasks within a single service
• Silverlink 600 dimensions align with compatible suite equipment for a tidy installation

The GR3 requires a gas connection and must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. It is typically wall-mounted or shelf-mounted at above-counter height, so clearance to combustible surfaces needs to be confirmed at the planning stage. It is worth verifying your gas supply type and pressure before ordering, and ensuring your extraction canopy provides adequate coverage for overhead grill use.

This model is well suited to small and medium-sized operations — cafés, pub kitchens, small hotel restaurants, and similar sites where a single-section salamander handles everyday demand without the added complexity of a larger unit. For high-volume kitchens finishing large covers simultaneously or running continuous service across multiple sections, a wider or heavier-duty model is likely a more practical choice.

If you'd like to talk through whether the GR3 fits your kitchen layout and service pattern, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit to an order.

The Lincat LGT is an electric overhead salamander grill designed for grilling, toasting, browning, and finishing dishes in a commercial kitchen. It mounts above the cooking line and delivers consistent radiant heat from above — straightforward, dependable performance of the kind that busy service periods demand.

Salamanders are among the hardest-working pieces of equipment in a commercial kitchen, and the LGT is built with that in mind. Whether it is grilling portions to order, browning gratins, finishing steaks, or pushing through rounds of toast during a breakfast service, the tubular sheathed heating elements are built for longevity and distribute heat evenly across the grill surface. That consistency matters during service — uneven heat costs time and leads to inconsistent output when covers are moving quickly.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the LGT offers several practical advantages:

• Even heat distribution supports consistent results across the full grill surface
• Durable tubular sheathed elements are straightforward to maintain over time
• Supplied with a toasting rack and grill pan with stay-cool handles, ready to use from installation
• Electric connection removes the need for a gas supply, simplifying installation on many sites
• Compact overhead footprint suits kitchens where space above the cooking line is limited

Installation is relatively straightforward. The unit is wall-mounted or shelf-mounted above the cooking position and requires an appropriate electrical supply. As with any overhead grill, it should sit within an existing extraction canopy or ventilation system. It is worth checking overhead clearances and confirming bracket compatibility before ordering.

The LGT is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, and hotel breakfast services — where a reliable overhead grill is needed without the scale or cost of a larger unit. For higher-volume sites running continuous covers or requiring greater output, a heavier-duty model may be a more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volumes or kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Lincat Opus OG8403 is a 1200mm wide gas chargrill from Lincat's Opus heavy-duty range. It uses infrared ceramic plaque burners to generate intense, even radiant heat across a large cooking surface, producing the branded grill marks and chargrilled flavour that define this style of cooking. This is a serious piece of equipment aimed at kitchens where the chargrill is central to the menu rather than a secondary option.

In a busy service environment, the OG8403 performs well under sustained demand. The ceramic infrared burners reach working temperature quickly, which matters when service is pressing. The wide cooking surface allows multiple covers to be worked simultaneously, and individually controlled heat zones mean different proteins or vegetables can be managed at different intensities without one section affecting another. During quieter periods, individual burners can be held on standby rather than shut down completely, reducing recovery delays when demand picks up again and helping manage gas consumption across a shift.

From a practical standpoint, several features are worth noting:

• Reversible branding grids extend usable life and maintain an uninterrupted cooking surface
• The radiant design encourages controlled flaring, contributing to the chargrilled result without excessive flare-up
• Large debris collection drawers can be part-filled with water to simplify end-of-service cleaning
• The removable one-piece stainless steel splashguard makes thorough cleaning more straightforward

Installation requires a natural gas or LPG connection — the unit must be configured for the correct fuel type before dispatch, so confirm this at the point of ordering. At 1200mm wide it occupies significant frontage on a cooking suite, so available space, proximity to extraction, and gas supply capacity should all be assessed beforehand. Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The unit is substantial in weight and will need appropriate handling during positioning.

The OG8403 is well suited to restaurants, steakhouses, pub kitchens, and hotel operations where chargrilled dishes are a regular part of the menu and throughput is consistently high. The 1200mm footprint suits mid-to-large kitchens; operators with lower volume requirements or tighter space constraints may find a narrower unit more practical, while very high-volume sites running continuous covers might benefit from a wider or heavier-duty configuration.

If you are weighing up whether this unit fits your service volume, fuel supply, or existing kitchen layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Lincat ECG6 is an electric countertop chargrill built for commercial kitchen use. It uses electric heating elements to produce the branded grill marks and chargrilled finish more commonly associated with gas or charcoal equipment. An integral water bath sits beneath the cooking grid, adding humidity during cooking and simplifying end-of-service cleaning.

In a working kitchen the ECG6 performs reliably across a sustained service. The water bath helps retain moisture in meat and fish, which reduces shrinkage and supports consistent plate presentation — a practical consideration where yield matters and covers are moving steadily. A safety cut-out activates if the water bath runs dry, offering a degree of protection during a busy service when the unit may not be watched constantly.

The main operational advantages worth noting:

• Integral water bath maintains humidity and reduces food shrinkage during cooking
• Splash guard with water funnel allows the tank to be topped up without interrupting service
• Hinging elements lift clear for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
• Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or gas safety infrastructure
• High-temperature safety cut-out protects the unit if the water bath runs dry

As a countertop unit, the primary installation considerations are available worktop space and access to a suitable electrical supply. No gas connection is required. The cooking process generates smoke and steam, so adequate canopy extraction above the unit is essential and should be confirmed before the unit is installed — this is standard practice for chargrilling equipment in most commercial kitchens.

The ECG6 is well suited to smaller and mid-sized operations that want to offer chargrilled dishes without a gas infrastructure: cafés, gastropubs, hotel kitchens, and compact restaurant operations are typical environments. It works well as a standalone grill or alongside other countertop cooking equipment. For sites running high volumes of chargrilled covers across a long continuous service, it is worth considering whether a larger or heavier-duty unit would be a better fit for the demand.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your service style and kitchen setup, our team is happy to help you work through it before you commit.

The Lincat LPC Pizzachef is a countertop electric infrared grill designed primarily for finishing work — pizza, gratinated dishes, open sandwiches, and similar — rather than heavy-duty primary grilling. Infrared elements deliver direct, intense heat across the cooking zone, and variable control on the lower element allows output to be adjusted depending on the product being finished. A built-in timer supports consistent results through a service period without relying purely on visual checks.

In practice, the LPC suits kitchens where space is limited but a responsive finishing grill is a genuine operational need. Infrared heat reaches temperature quickly and recovery between covers is short, which keeps things moving during steady service. It is a practical alternative to a full overhead salamander where the volume and task mix don't justify the larger footprint or additional infrastructure.

Operational advantages worth noting:

• Infrared elements deliver direct heat quickly, keeping recovery time short between items
• Variable lower element control allows adjustment for different products and portion sizes
• Built-in timer reduces the risk of overcooking during a busy pass
• Enamel fascia and rod shelf clean down quickly at the end of service
• Stay-cool shelf handles allow safe repositioning without interrupting the line

Installation is uncomplicated. The LPC is a countertop electric unit with no gas supply or water connection required. It does need a suitable electrical supply, a stable heat-resistant surface, and enough counter space to site it safely. Positioning relative to your extraction canopy is worth considering from the outset — like any grill, it will generate heat and some smoke depending on what's being cooked.

This unit is well suited to cafés, pizzerias, pub kitchens, and similar smaller operations where a compact finishing grill covers the majority of requirements. Sites running continuous high-volume grilling across extended service periods may find a heavier-duty overhead grill or full salamander a more practical fit for their throughput.

If you're unsure whether the LPC fits your service pattern or kitchen layout, the team is glad to talk it through with you.

The Lincat GG1R is a single-head countertop contact grill designed for commercial use. It uses cast aluminium plates with a PTFE non-stick coating and mica heating elements to deliver simultaneous top-and-bottom contact heat. The smooth plate configuration produces a clean, even finish on paninis, toasted sandwiches, chicken fillets, and similar items where consistent surface contact matters more than grill marks.

In a working kitchen, this unit performs reliably in lower-to-medium throughput environments. It reaches temperature quickly and holds it well under moderate demand, making it a practical day-to-day tool where the grill sees regular but not continuous use across a full service period. Operations running back-to-back covers at pace across a long service window will likely find a multi-head or higher-capacity unit a more practical fit.

The main operational advantages are straightforward:

• PTFE non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Cast aluminium plates distribute heat evenly, reducing inconsistency across the cooking surface
• Simultaneous dual-plate contact reduces cooking time per item compared to single-sided methods
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where service space is at a premium
• Simple construction with few serviceable components keeps ongoing maintenance manageable

The GG1R is a plug-in electric unit with no gas supply or specialist ventilation infrastructure required. Positioning it near an extraction point remains sensible practice in any enclosed kitchen environment. It needs a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around the unit during service.

This grill is well suited to cafés, sandwich counters, tea rooms, and small restaurants where hot snacks and toasted items are a regular part of the menu without being the primary high-volume output. For operations running a sustained grill service across a full service period, it is worth considering whether a larger or multi-head unit would be the more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service style and kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you decide.

The Lincat GG1 is a single-head countertop contact grill designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens. It uses cast aluminium plates with a PTFE non-stick coating, heated by mica elements, to deliver even heat across the cooking surface. The combination of a ribbed top plate and smooth bottom plate means operators can produce grill-marked paninis, toasted sandwiches, and lightly cooked proteins such as chicken breast or steak without needing a separate flat griddle alongside it.

In a working kitchen, the GG1 performs reliably during steady service where contact-grilled items form part of a broader menu rather than the sole output of a cooking station. The cast aluminium retains heat well under moderate demand, and the non-stick surface keeps turnover moving by making it straightforward to clear and reload between batches. As a single-head unit, output is naturally limited — this is not a unit designed to carry a high-volume toastie or wrap menu through a full lunchtime rush on its own, and operators should plan accordingly.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

• Non-stick PTFE coating reduces food residue build-up and speeds cleaning between batches
• Ribbed and smooth plate combination covers paninis, sandwiches, and light protein cookery from one unit
• Cast aluminium construction distributes heat evenly, reducing inconsistent results across the plate
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where worktop space is at a premium
• Supplied with a spatula, helping to protect the non-stick surface during service

Installation is straightforward. The GG1 is a countertop electric unit requiring only a suitable power supply and a stable, heat-resistant surface. No gas connection or specialist ventilation is required, though positioning the unit near existing extraction is sensible given the steam produced during grilling. Standard clearances from walls and flammable surfaces should be observed.

This model is well suited to coffee shops, cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and small restaurants where contact-grilled items appear on the menu but volume is modest and the grill is one of several cooking stations. For sites where a contact grill needs to sustain output through high-volume service periods, a double-head or larger-capacity model would be worth considering to avoid creating a bottleneck at that station.

If you would like to talk through whether the GG1 fits your service volume and menu before committing, the team is happy to help.

The Lincat GG1P is a single-head countertop contact grill built for consistent, high-temperature grilling in commercial kitchens. It uses cast aluminium plates fitted with mica heating elements and finished with a PTFE non-stick coating. Both the top and bottom plates are ribbed, producing the grill marks associated with paninis, toasted sandwiches, chicken fillets and lighter cuts of meat.

Contact grills earn their place in busy lunch services through speed and consistency. Because heat is applied simultaneously to both faces of the food, cook times are significantly shorter than those achieved with a flat grill or salamander. The cast aluminium construction holds heat reasonably well under repeated use, which helps maintain consistent results across a run of orders rather than just the first few covers.

The practical day-to-day advantages of this unit include:

• PTFE-coated ribbed plates that resist sticking and wipe down cleanly between services
• Simultaneous top and bottom heat contact for faster, more consistent results
• Cast aluminium construction that retains heat under repeated use
• Compact countertop footprint suitable for front-of-house or back bar positions
• Spatula included as standard to assist safe plate handling

The GG1P runs from a standard 13-amp supply, which keeps installation straightforward with no dedicated electrical work required. Contact grills generate steam and heat during use, so positioning in a well-ventilated area or beneath extraction is advisable. As a single-head model, it is best matched to moderate throughput — sites running continuous grilling across a high volume of covers throughout a long service should consider whether a twin-head or higher-capacity unit would be a better operational fit.

This grill is well suited to coffee shops, cafés, snack bars, delis and small restaurants where paninis, toasted sandwiches and grilled items feature regularly but do not dominate the menu. It represents a practical entry point for operators who need reliable grilling output from a compact unit without a significant capital outlay. Busier operations with sustained demand would likely benefit from a larger or multi-head alternative.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit matches your expected service volume, the team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Lincat LRG2 is a countertop electric contact grill with two cast iron cooking plates — a ribbed upper plate and a smooth lower plate. It cooks both sides of a product simultaneously, making it a practical choice for operations that need to move product quickly without sacrificing consistency. It handles a wide range of menu items including burgers, chicken fillets, steaks, paninis, and wraps from a single unit.

Cast iron retains heat well, which is a practical advantage during back-to-back service. As batches follow one another, the plates recover temperature more reliably than lighter alternatives, helping to keep cook times and output quality consistent through a busy period. Thermostatic temperature control allows operators to set a fixed cooking temperature and hold it across a full shift, which reduces variability between staff and limits the risk of over- or under-cooked output when the kitchen is under pressure.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:

• Two-sided simultaneous cooking reduces individual cook times significantly
• Ribbed top plate produces clean grill marks suitable for plated presentation
• Thermostatic control supports repeatable results across different operators and shift changes
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where worktop space is at a premium
• Cast iron plates are durable under sustained commercial use

As a plug-in countertop unit, the LRG2 requires no specialist installation beyond a suitable mains connection and a stable, heat-resistant worktop. Contact grills produce steam and radiant heat during service, so consider ventilation above and around the unit — particularly in smaller or enclosed kitchen spaces. The weight of a cast iron plate unit is worth confirming against your countertop specification before positioning.

This model is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and small to mid-sized restaurant operations running steady moderate throughput. It is not designed for continuous high-volume service over extended periods — sites with that level of demand would be better served by a heavier-duty unit with a larger cooking surface. For lighter-output operations, smaller single-plate alternatives are available within the contact grill range.

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

The Lincat LCG is a single-head electric contact grill designed for counter-top use in commercial kitchens. Enamelled cast iron plates on both the upper and lower platens apply direct, even heat from both sides simultaneously, making it suitable for burgers, steaks, chops, fish fillets, paninis, and toasted sandwiches. A thermostatic control allows the operator to set and hold a consistent cooking temperature throughout service.

In a working kitchen, the LCG performs reliably in light to moderate service settings. The cast iron plates retain heat well between batches and the unit reaches working temperature quickly from cold, which suits operations that do not run the grill continuously across a full shift. For kitchens turning out sustained high volumes through a busy grill section, a twin-head or heavier-duty unit would offer better throughput and greater resilience under continuous use.

Day-to-day, the LCG offers a practical set of operational advantages:

• Enamelled cast iron plates clean more easily than raw iron and resist staining from oils and marinades
• Balanced hinge action avoids over-pressing lighter products such as paninis, wraps, and flatbreads
• Thermostatic control reduces the risk of scorching when the grill sits idle between orders
• Compact footprint suits kitchens where bench space is at a premium

The LCG requires only a mains electricity supply — no gas or water connection — keeping installation straightforward. Allow adequate clearance around the casing for heat dissipation, and position it beneath or close to an extraction canopy to manage steam and cooking vapours during service.

This grill is well matched to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and small restaurant operations running a mixed menu of grilled and toasted items, particularly where the grill is in regular but not continuous use. If your operation runs a heavier grill section or anticipates significant growth in covers, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity model would be a better long-term fit.

If you would like to talk through whether the LCG suits your service volume and menu before you order, the team is happy to help.

The Lincat LRG is a countertop contact grill with a single head, designed for commercial use in cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations. It cooks from both sides simultaneously using a ribbed cast iron top plate and a smooth cast iron bottom plate, making it suitable for paninis, wraps, burgers, chicken fillets, steaks, and chops. The dual-sided cooking action reduces grill times compared to a conventional flat grill or griddle.

In everyday service, the LRG performs well where throughput is moderate rather than continuous. It reaches working temperature reasonably quickly and holds heat across consecutive batches, which suits breakfast runs, lunch covers, or a compact à la carte grill section. The ribbed top plate marks flatbreads and paninis cleanly without a separate press, and the smooth bottom plate handles proteins without recurring sticking issues under normal working conditions.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Dual-sided heat reduces cook times and supports faster plate-up
• Ribbed top plate produces consistent branding marks on breads and sandwiches
• Cast iron plates retain heat well and clean down straightforwardly after service
• Thermostatic control supports consistent results across different proteins and products
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where equipment space is limited

Installation is straightforward. The LRG is a plug-in electric unit requiring no fixed services beyond a stable, heat-resistant countertop and a suitable power supply. No specialist extraction is needed, and the unit is light enough to reposition if your setup changes — useful for operators running event catering alongside a fixed site or sharing prep space across shifts.

The LRG suits cafés, sandwich bars, small restaurant operations, and pub kitchens running a contained grill menu. It is best matched to moderate, intermittent service rather than continuous high-volume output. Operations running long service periods with sustained grill covers should consider a dual-head model or a heavier-duty unit with greater plate surface area to prevent the single head becoming a bottleneck.

If you are weighing up whether the LRG fits your service pattern, or want to talk through the options in the range, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Lincat LPG single contact grill is a countertop unit designed for direct-heat cooking of meat cuts, fillets and pressed sandwiches in a commercial kitchen. It runs on LPG rather than mains electricity, which makes it a practical option where dedicated electrical supply is restricted or where gas is the more convenient service on site. Both the top and bottom plates are ribbed enamelled cast iron, producing the defined branding marks expected on grilled burgers, steaks, chops and paninis.

Cast iron holds heat well once the unit is up to temperature, which helps maintain consistent cooking results across a run of covers. The thermostatic control allows kitchen staff to set and hold a target temperature, supporting repeatable outcomes without relying on individual judgement during a busy service. The balanced hinge mechanism applies even pressure across the plates — enough to seal a panini or wrap without compressing it to the point of losing its shape.

• Enamelled cast iron plates retain and distribute heat evenly between batches
• Ribbed top and bottom surfaces produce clean branding marks on meat and bread
• Thermostatic control supports consistent cooking across a service period
• Balanced hinge suits a range of products from meat cuts to pressed sandwiches
• LPG operation where mains electrical capacity is unavailable or impractical

As a single-head unit, this grill is well suited to lower-volume operations — a café, sandwich bar, small restaurant, or a secondary station within a larger kitchen. If your grill is running continuously through a long service or handling high covers, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or dual-platen model would better match your throughput.

If you are unsure whether LPG is the right fuel choice for your setup, or want to talk through how this unit would fit into your kitchen, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit to anything.

The Lincat Opus 800 OE8303 is a wall- or canopy-mounted electric salamander grill designed for consistent daily use in commercial kitchens. Part of Lincat's Opus 800 range, it delivers intense overhead radiant heat for grilling, finishing, and glazing — routine high-tempo tasks in restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub operations, and contract catering environments. It is built to handle these tasks reliably, shift after shift, without fuss.

The dual-zone element arrangement gives operators genuine flexibility during service. Both zones can run independently, which is useful when managing a mixed pass or when only partial capacity is needed during quieter periods. Heat-up is prompt, keeping downtime between service periods short. The overhead radiant format suits finishing grilled proteins, browning gratins, glazing sauces, and toasting bread — tasks where direct, controlled heat makes a visible difference to the finished dish.

Several practical details help in a working kitchen environment:

• EasiLift branding plate mechanism tilts and lifts for safer, easier access during service
• Heavy-duty reversible branding plate supplied as standard
• Chrome-plated wire support doubles as a toasting rack, reducing the need for additional equipment
• Integral fat collection channel manages drip and keeps the unit cleaner through service
• Chrome-plated surfaces wipe down quickly between covers

As an electric unit, the OE8303 requires no gas supply or flue connection, which gives more flexibility over placement on the pass or within a cooking suite. It does, however, need a dedicated electrical supply, and its wall- or canopy-mounted format means your existing structure or extraction canopy arrangement should be confirmed as compatible before ordering. Overhead clearance and extraction positioning are worth reviewing at the planning stage.

This model is well suited to medium-volume operations — restaurants, hotels, and pub kitchens running regular daily service where a dependable, independently controlled salamander forms part of a wider cooking suite. For very high-throughput sites running extended continuous covers, it is worth considering whether a higher-output model would be a better long-term fit.

The Lincat Opus 800 OE8304 is a dual-zone electric salamander grill from Lincat's well-regarded Opus 800 range. It is designed to handle grilling, finishing, and toasting across a busy service, with two independently controlled heat zones that allow chefs to run different temperatures simultaneously — useful when one section is holding finished dishes while another is actively grilling.

In a working kitchen, the dual-zone arrangement offers a practical degree of flexibility that a single-zone unit cannot. During quieter periods, one zone can be stood down to reduce energy draw and limit unnecessary wear on the elements. When covers increase, both zones are available immediately without waiting for the unit to come back up to temperature. The OE8304 reaches working temperature quickly, which helps when prep time is tight and service is imminent.

Several features translate directly into day-to-day operational value:

• Independent heat zones allow grilling and gentle finishing to run concurrently
• EasiLift tilt and lift mechanism on the branding plate reduces handling effort and improves safety during service
• Heavy-duty reversible branding plate is suited to sustained, high-frequency use
• Chrome-plated wire grill support doubles as a toasting rack, adding versatility without additional equipment
• Integral fat collection channel keeps drips contained and makes end-of-service cleaning more straightforward

Installation follows the standard requirements for an electric salamander. The unit is commonly positioned above a range or solid-top section, though wall-mounting is a practical alternative where worksurface space is at a premium. Before finalising the mounting height, it is worth confirming that chefs can position dishes comfortably and operate the branding plate safely during a busy service without awkward reach or restricted access.

The OE8304 is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations — gastropubs, independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering sites where a reliable grilling and finishing station is in regular use throughout service. For sites running extended back-to-back services or very high covers, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty unit with greater output would be a closer match for the sustained demand.

If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout and service pattern before committing, the team is happy to have that conversation.

The Lincat Silverlink 600 AS4 is an electric overhead salamander grill with a rise-and-fall adjustable hood. It is designed to give commercial kitchen operators repeatable, controlled heat for grilling, toasting, finishing dishes, and general mainline cooking. The Silverlink 600 range has been a consistent presence in UK commercial kitchens for many years, and the AS4 represents a practical, electrically operated option within that series.

In a working kitchen, consistency across a full service matters as much as raw output. The adjustable hood allows operators to set a precise working height and return to it reliably throughout the day, regardless of which member of staff is at the station. Height markers on the hood support that repeatability across shifts, reducing the risk of inconsistent results when service is moving quickly.

From a practical standpoint, the AS4 offers several day-to-day operational advantages:

• Rise-and-fall hood with height markers supports consistent results across different operators
• Supplied with a chrome wire shelf and toasting rack, ready to use from day one
• Removable crumb tray simplifies end-of-service and daily cleaning routines
• Electric operation removes the need for a gas connection at this station
• Compatible with 1/1 GN containers, integrating cleanly with standard kitchen kit

Installation is generally more straightforward than a gas equivalent — there is no gas supply or flue connection required. That said, it is worth confirming your existing electrical infrastructure can handle the load before ordering. As with any overhead grill, adequate extraction ventilation above the unit is strongly advisable, and sufficient clearance should be maintained around and above the appliance during use.

The AS4 is well suited to smaller and medium-sized operations — cafés, pub kitchens, bistros, and contract catering sites with moderate throughput. For high-volume sites running continuous service across multiple sittings, or where faster recovery under sustained load is a priority, a heavier-duty unit with greater output capacity may be worth considering alongside this model.

If you are unsure whether the AS4 fits your kitchen's service demands or existing setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Lincat Silverlink 600 AS3 is an electric rise-and-fall salamander grill designed for commercial kitchen use. The defining feature is an adjustable hood mechanism that allows the operator to physically raise or lower the heat source over the food below, giving direct, hands-on control over cooking intensity without relying solely on power settings. It is a practical tool for kitchens that move quickly between browning, finishing, toasting, and holding dishes warm without overcooking.

During service, that adjustability earns its keep. An operator can reposition the hood to suit whatever is on the pass without breaking stride. Height markers on the mechanism support consistency across different brigade members, which matters when you are running covers at pace and need the same result from dish to dish. The smooth lift action keeps physical effort manageable across a long shift.

Day-to-day, the AS3 offers a number of practical advantages:

• Adjustable hood height gives immediate, visible control over heat intensity
• Height markers help multiple operators replicate consistent results
• Smooth rise-and-fall action reduces effort during continuous service
• Removable crumb tray keeps daily cleaning straightforward and limits grease build-up
• Gastronorm-compatible cooking area integrates naturally with standard pass workflow

As an electric unit, the AS3 requires a dedicated electrical supply installed by a qualified electrician in line with current UK regulations. It sits within the Silverlink 600 range, which uses a 600mm depth footprint. Before installation, it is worth confirming available bench space and overhead clearance — particularly if the unit will sit beneath shelving or an extraction canopy, as the rise-and-fall mechanism needs unobstructed vertical clearance to operate correctly.

This model is well suited to café restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub operations and contract catering environments where a reliable overhead grill is needed through regular daily service. It handles grilling, toasting and finishing duties comfortably at steady covers. For sites running continuous high-volume service across extended periods, it is worth considering whether a wider grill area or higher output would be a better long-term fit.

If you would like to talk through whether the AS3 suits your kitchen layout and service pattern, the team is happy to help before you commit.

The Lincat Opus OE8406 is a heavy-duty electric chargrill designed for commercial kitchens where chargrilled dishes appear consistently on the menu. It uses radiant heat with segmented cast iron grids to replicate the cooking characteristics of a traditional chargrill — producing the sear marks and charred finish customers expect — without requiring a gas supply or solid fuel.

In service, six independently controlled heat zones give the grill genuine operational flexibility. Different sections can run at different temperatures simultaneously, allowing a range of proteins and vegetables to cook at the same time without one compromising another. The cast iron grids hold and distribute heat evenly, which helps maintain consistency during busy service periods and reduces the risk of cold spots when the grill is in continuous use. Recovery between batches is reliable, which matters when covers are turning quickly throughout a session.

Several features support both food quality and day-to-day kitchen practicality:

• Integral water bath adds humidity to the cooking environment, helping retain moisture and reduce shrinkage in meat and poultry
• Water bath can be plumbed directly or filled manually, depending on kitchen layout
• Front drainage tap simplifies emptying the water bath at the end of service
• Hinging, interlocked elements allow straightforward access for cleaning
• High-temperature safety cut-out protects the unit if the water bath runs dry

Being electric, the OE8406 does not require a gas connection or a direct flue, which can simplify installation in kitchens where gas is unavailable or undesirable. That said, a unit at this performance level carries a significant electrical demand, and a dedicated supply will almost certainly be needed — confirm this with a qualified electrician before committing to installation. The grill still produces smoke and vapour during normal use, so suitable extraction above the unit is essential regardless of fuel type. The OE8406 is intended for countertop installation on a robust, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around all sides.

This model is well suited to restaurants, gastro pubs, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where chargrilled dishes feature regularly and steady throughput is expected throughout service. For kitchens where chargrilling is the primary cooking output at very high cover volumes, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity unit or a backup configuration would better support peak demand.

If you would like to talk through how the OE8406 would fit your kitchen layout and service pattern, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.

The Lincat Opus OE8405 is a freestanding electric chargrill designed for commercial kitchens where chargrilled dishes need to be delivered consistently across a full service period. It uses segmented cast iron grids and high-power heating elements to produce genuine grill marks and chargrilled character through radiant heat and controlled flaring — without requiring a gas supply or the installation infrastructure that comes with it.

Three independently controlled heat zones are the defining operational feature. During a busy service, different areas of the grill surface can run at different temperatures simultaneously — useful when cooking different proteins at once, managing uneven order flow, or holding one section at a lower temperature for finishing while the primary cooking area runs at full heat. The elements are built to recover temperature quickly after each load is placed, which matters when the grill is running continuously rather than in short bursts.

Several design details help reduce workload during and after service:

• Segmented, removable cast iron grids make end-of-service cleaning more manageable
• Hinged, interlocked elements allow access to the cooking chamber without full disassembly
• An integral water bath adds humidity during cooking, helping keep food succulent and reduce shrinkage
• The water bath accepts a plumbed supply or manual filling, with a front drainage tap for straightforward emptying
• A high-temperature safety cut-out protects the unit if the water bath runs dry

The OE8405 requires an appropriate electrical supply and a canopy extraction system — standard practice above any commercial chargrill. It is worth confirming your electrical capacity and extraction arrangement before ordering. A plumbed water connection is the more convenient option, though manual filling is practical where a permanent feed is not available.

This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations where chargrilled dishes feature regularly on the menu and consistent throughput across service is a priority. For smaller or lighter-use operations, a lower-capacity chargrill may be a better operational and economic fit. For sites where the grill would be under near-continuous heavy load throughout the day, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty model would serve better in the long run.

If you would like to talk through whether the OE8405 suits your kitchen's electrical supply, extraction setup, or expected service volume, the team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.
