The Lincat LGR is a countertop electric griddle built around a one-piece cast iron cooking plate. Cast iron is a well-established material choice for commercial griddles — it holds heat effectively, distributes it evenly across the surface, and recovers well when cold food is loaded onto it. For operators who need consistent results across the full plate rather than localised hot spots that compromise cook quality, it remains a reliable and proven option.
Even heat distribution matters in a working kitchen. Whether you are cooking burgers, bacon, eggs, or flatbreads, the cast iron plate helps maintain a consistent output during service. The thermostatic rotary control allows temperature to be set and held, which also means the plate is not running hotter than necessary during quieter periods — a practical consideration for both energy use and food quality.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the LGR offers several practical advantages:
- Even heat across the full plate surface reduces inconsistent cook results
- Thermostat control lets operators match temperature to the food being cooked
- One-piece plate simplifies cleaning between and after service
- Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or gas safety certification
- Low-profile countertop design suits kitchens with limited overhead clearance
Installation is straightforward relative to gas alternatives — no gas connection, no flue, and no gas safety sign-off required for the appliance itself. You will need an appropriate electrical supply and adequate countertop space. As with any griddle, extraction ventilation above the cooking position is required to manage steam and grease-laden air in line with kitchen hygiene and building regulations.
The LGR is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and similar operations with moderate griddle throughput. If your service volume is consistently high, or the griddle is functioning as a primary cooking surface across a broad menu, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or wider-plate model would be a better long-term fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this griddle suits your kitchen setup and service style, we are happy to help before you commit.

The Lincat GS7/R is an electric countertop griddle with a split cooking surface machined from solid steel plate — one smooth half and one ribbed half. That configuration allows a kitchen to run two distinct cooking styles from a single unit: flat-plate cooking for eggs, pancakes, and delicate items on one side, and ribbed cooking for burgers, chicken breasts, and anything where char marks and fat drainage matter on the other.
In a busy service environment, the thick machined steel plate earns its keep. Dense steel retains heat effectively when food loads hit the surface, helping to maintain consistent cooking temperatures through sustained service rather than dipping sharply and recovering between batches. Each half has its own thermostat, so both zones can be dialled to different temperatures simultaneously — practical when the two surfaces are handling items with genuinely different heat requirements, and useful for reducing energy draw by turning one section back during quieter periods.
The fully welded plate construction removes the joins and seams found on lesser-built units, which tend to trap grease and debris over time. That makes end-of-service cleaning more straightforward and reduces the risk of build-up that affects both hygiene and long-term cooking performance.
- Dual independent temperature zones for simultaneous different-heat cooking
- Smooth and ribbed sections on one plate — no need for two separate units
- Welded plate construction with no grease-trapping seams
- Independent thermostat control supports energy management between services
- Electric operation — no gas supply or interlock ventilation system required
Being electric, the GS7/R is straightforward to position and connect provided the correct electrical supply is available at the counter. It does not require a gas interlock system or dedicated flue, which makes it a practical option where gas infrastructure is limited or where countertop flexibility matters. It is worth confirming the supply specification with your installation team before ordering.
This griddle is well suited to cafés, pubs, hotel kitchens, and casual dining operations running a mid-volume breakfast or lunch service. For sites running extended service periods at consistently high throughput, a heavier-duty or larger-format griddle may be worth considering. Equally, smaller operations with limited counter space may find a compact single-zone unit a better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether the GS7/R suits your service volume and kitchen setup before committing, the team at Advantage Catering Equipment is happy to have that conversation.

The Lincat GS4/C is an electric countertop griddle with a chrome plated cooking surface. It is designed for commercial kitchens that need a flat, controllable cooking surface for daily service — breakfast menus, all-day operations, or any kitchen where consistency across the plate directly affects food quality and presentation.
Chrome behaves differently to bare steel in a working kitchen. Food releases more readily from the surface, which makes it particularly well suited to eggs, pancakes, delicate proteins, and other ingredients that can suffer on a more reactive surface. The chrome also responds well to temperature changes during a busy service, where cooking conditions are rarely constant. Two independently controlled zones allow the operator to hold different temperatures across the plate at the same time — a useful arrangement when working across a varied menu, or when only part of the plate is needed during quieter periods.
From a practical operational standpoint:
- Two-zone thermostatic control allows varied cooking temperatures across the plate simultaneously
- Chrome surface reduces sticking and suits a wider range of ingredients than bare steel
- Fully welded plate construction minimises joints where grease and debris can accumulate
- Electric operation suits sites without gas supply or where gas is not preferred
- Straightforward to clean down after service
As an electric unit, the GS4/C requires connection to a suitable power supply and should be installed by a qualified electrician. It is designed for countertop use on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around it. Extraction above the cooking position should be included in ventilation planning.
This griddle suits cafés, hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, and similar operations running a regular breakfast or all-day menu — particularly where gas infrastructure is not available. For kitchens handling significantly higher throughput or requiring a larger cooking area, a heavier-duty model may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your service pattern or kitchen setup, the team is happy to help.
£421.00(£505.20 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS3 is a countertop electric griddle built around a solid machined steel cooking plate. It is designed for the consistent demands of a working commercial kitchen — suited to breakfast service, burgers, sandwiches, fish, and other flat-griddled items. Steel plate is a well-established choice in professional kitchens where uniform sear and reliable surface temperature matter more than the high-reflectivity finish of chrome plate.
In service, the thick machined plate distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, reducing the risk of hot spots that can produce inconsistent results during a busy period. The thermostatically controlled rotary knob lets the operator dial in the right temperature for the product being cooked and pull back during quieter spells — a sensible way to manage energy use across a long shift without interrupting workflow.
The fully welded plate construction is a practical advantage in any kitchen environment. Joints and seams are common collection points for grease and food debris; eliminating them makes end-of-service cleaning more straightforward and supports better hygiene standards over time. Key operational advantages include:
- Fully welded plate with no seams or joints to trap grease
- Even heat distribution for consistent results across the cooking surface
- Thermostatically controlled temperature via simple rotary knob
- Electric operation with no gas connection required
- Compact countertop footprint for bench or cooking suite installation
Being electric, the GS3 does not need a gas supply or dedicated flue, though it should be positioned within reach of adequate overhead extraction. Circuit capacity at the intended installation point should be confirmed before ordering, and the supporting surface needs to be sufficiently robust to take the weight of a solid steel plate unit.
The GS3 is well suited to smaller restaurants, cafés, pub kitchens, and hospitality operations where a reliable, no-frills electric griddle is needed without a large footprint. It suits operators cooking to order rather than batch-cooking at high volume. For sites running very high covers or extended continuous service, a larger or heavier-duty griddle may be the more appropriate choice.
If you are weighing up plate type, output capacity, or how this unit fits into your existing setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£818.00(£981.60 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS9 is a countertop electric griddle with a machined steel cooking plate. It is designed for commercial kitchens producing burgers, bacon, eggs, fish, and similar items that benefit from direct contact with a flat, even surface. The unit sits on the worktop, connects to a standard electrical supply, and requires no fixed installation — straightforward to position and practical to run day to day.
Consistent plate temperature is central to cooking quality when service is busy. The steel plate distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, reducing the risk of hot spots that lead to uneven browning or inconsistent results. The thermostat gives operators direct control over plate temperature, which makes it practical to adjust heat for different menu items and to pull back energy draw during quieter periods without switching the unit off entirely.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GS9 offers a number of practical advantages:
- Even heat distribution across the steel plate supports consistent results throughout service
- Thermostat control allows straightforward temperature adjustment for different products
- Fully welded plate construction removes dirt traps and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Electric operation suits kitchens without a gas supply or where additional gas connections are not practical
- Countertop format fits compact kitchen layouts without requiring fixed installation
As an electric unit, the GS9 requires a suitable power supply and adequate circuit capacity — it is worth confirming the socket type and electrical load with a qualified electrician before installation. No specialist extraction is typically required for this type of equipment, though cooking fats will produce smoke at higher temperatures and adequate general kitchen ventilation remains advisable.
The GS9 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations where a reliable flat-plate electric griddle covers the bulk of a breakfast or light lunch menu. For operations with significantly higher throughput or greater cooking volume, a wider or higher-output model may be worth considering instead.
If you would like to talk through whether the GS9 is the right fit for your menu and kitchen setup, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.
£7,167.00(£8,600.40 inc VAT)
The Lincat OE8210 is a countertop electric clam griddle with two independently controlled cooking zones. Each zone combines a lower steel plate with a hinged upper clam plate that closes down onto the product, applying heat from both surfaces simultaneously. That dual-sided cooking action is what separates this format from a conventional open griddle, and it has a direct bearing on how the unit performs during service.
Cooking both sides at once reduces overall cooking times considerably, which during a busy service translates into faster ticket times and more consistent output — particularly where the same product is being cooked in volume throughout the day. The self-adjusting upper plate accommodates different product thicknesses without manual adjustment, which helps maintain throughput when the kitchen is under pressure. The digital timer on each clam plate supports repeatable results, useful wherever consistency across a team matters. During quieter periods, independent zone control means only one side needs to stay active, a practical consideration for operations running a split service pattern.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several features are worth noting:
- Independent thermostatic control per zone allows flexible management across different service periods
- Digital timer per clam plate supports consistent, repeatable cooking results
- PTFE non-stick coating on the upper plates reduces product adhesion and simplifies cleaning
- Robust lower steel plate suited to the demands of regular commercial use
- Large fat collection drawer and wide drainage channel support uninterrupted service flow
As a countertop unit, available worktop depth and overhead clearance both need to be assessed before installation — the clam lid opens upward and requires adequate clear space above the unit. A qualified electrician should confirm the electrical supply requirements prior to ordering. Overhead extraction in line with standard commercial kitchen ventilation guidance is advisable above the cooking position.
The OE8210 is well suited to cafés, quick-service restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where consistent portioned output during service is a priority. It performs particularly well with proteins, paninis, and similar products where a repeatable result is important. Operations running very high continuous throughput across an extended service day may want to consider whether a heavier-duty configuration would be more appropriate for their volume.
If you would like to talk through how the OE8210 fits your service pattern before committing to an order, the team is happy to help you work that out.
£1,433.00(£1,719.60 inc VAT)
The Lincat Opus OE8205 is an electric steel plate griddle built for consistent, day-to-day use in commercial kitchens. It provides a broad, flat cooking surface capable of handling a wide range of menu items — from breakfast service and burgers through to fish, eggs, and vegetables — without requiring operators to switch between cooking methods or equipment during a busy service.
Steel plate griddles are a practical choice where even, reliable heat across the full cooking surface matters. The 16mm plate contributes to steady heat distribution, which helps reduce hot spots and supports more consistent results under continuous demand. Independently controlled heating zones allow operators to run only the sections needed during quieter periods, which has a noticeable impact on energy consumption across a full trading day. Thermostatic control keeps surface temperatures stable without constant manual adjustment — a genuine advantage when service conditions vary throughout a shift.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the OE8205 offers several practical advantages:
- Independent zone control allows energy use to be managed around service patterns
- A cooler holding zone at the front of the plate lets cooked food rest without overcooking
- Flush radiused sides reduce food trap points and simplify end-of-service cleaning
- Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply, broadening placement options within the kitchen
- Thermostatic control supports repeatable results across varied menu items
Because the unit is electric, installation does not require a gas connection or associated pipework, which can simplify positioning. That said, it is worth confirming your electrical supply can support the load before ordering. The OE8205 will need to be positioned beneath an adequate extraction canopy, and if you are working within a compact kitchen run, checking the footprint against your available space beforehand is sensible.
This griddle is well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and mid-sized restaurant operations where a dependable flat griddle forms part of a regular cooking line. It handles varied output throughout the day reliably, though for sites running very high continuous throughput or longer cooking lines, it is worth considering whether a wider or heavier-duty model would better match the volume involved.
If you would like to talk through whether the OE8205 fits your service pattern and kitchen setup, we are happy to help you work that out before you commit.
£1,395.00(£1,674.00 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS6C/T is an electric countertop griddle with a chrome plated cooking surface. Chrome plating is a practical choice over plain steel when the menu spans a broader range of items — proteins, eggs, fish, and more delicate foods benefit from a surface that is less reactive, releases food more cleanly, and wipes down quickly between covers without risk of damaging the plate.
In a working kitchen, the thermostatically controlled cooking zone allows the operator to dial in a target temperature and hold it through a busy service. This matters most during peak periods when the griddle is being used continuously and recovery speed has a direct effect on how quickly the next batch can follow. The rotary thermostat keeps control accessible for any member of the team, without requiring adjustment or guesswork.
Day-to-day operational advantages of this griddle include:
- Chrome surface reduces sticking and speeds up cleaning between services
- Thermostat maintains consistent cooking temperatures across a full service period
- Welded plate construction avoids recesses where grease and debris can accumulate
- Electric operation requires no gas connection or on-site gas safety certification
- Countertop format preserves floor space in tighter kitchen layouts
As an electric unit, the GS6C/T requires a suitable electrical supply and should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance on all sides. There is no gas infrastructure needed, which simplifies installation in sites where gas is unavailable or where operators want to avoid the associated compliance obligations. Extraction coverage should be reviewed before the unit goes into service.
This griddle suits cafés, hotel breakfast operations, small restaurants, and fast-casual sites running moderate throughput through a defined service window. Kitchens cooking continuously across longer shifts or at higher volume may find a larger or heavier-duty model better matched to the pace of demand.
If you want to talk through whether a chrome plate suits your menu, or want to confirm the electrical requirements before committing, we are glad to help you work through it.
£1,269.00(£1,522.80 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS7R is a gas-fired steel plate griddle with a split cooking surface — one half smooth, one half ribbed — giving operators two distinct cooking styles from a single unit. The plate is machined steel, fully welded to eliminate the seams and gaps where grease and food debris would otherwise accumulate over a busy service.
The mass of the steel plate is central to how the GS7R performs. It retains heat effectively and distributes it evenly across the surface, which matters when cold product is being placed down repeatedly at pace. In practice, that thermal stability means cooking times stay consistent as covers build, rather than extending as the plate struggles to recover. The gas burner is matched to the plate mass to maintain a stable working temperature throughout a full shift. Both the smooth and ribbed sections are independently thermostatically controlled, so they can be run at different temperatures simultaneously, or one side reduced during quieter periods to avoid burning gas needlessly.
Key operational advantages include:
- Split surface handles flat-griddled and char-marked items simultaneously
- Independent zone controls allow precise temperature management across both halves
- Welded plate construction reduces cleaning time and removes dirt traps
- Compatible with both natural gas and LPG supply
Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The unit requires a suitable gas supply connection, adequate clearance around the unit for safe operation, and the front grease channel needs accessible space for routine cleaning. Ventilation above the cooking position should be assessed as part of any installation review — a properly sized canopy extraction system is essential.
The GS7R is a practical fit for operations where the menu calls for both griddled and ribbed-marked items — pub kitchens, burger bars, café kitchens, and carvery-style services are all typical applications. For sites running very high covers across long service periods where a griddle is the primary workhorse, a larger or heavier-duty model may be worth considering. For lighter-use kitchens, a smaller unit might serve equally well without the footprint.
If you are working out whether this griddle suits your menu, your service volumes, or your existing kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you go ahead.
£1,185.00(£1,422.00 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS7 is a gas-fired countertop griddle built around a solid machined steel cooking plate. Designed for continuous use in professional kitchens, it prioritises consistent surface temperature and reliable throughput across service. Two independently controlled cooking zones allow operators to run different heat settings across the same surface — a practical advantage when working with different proteins at once, or when one section can be turned down during quieter periods.
Machined steel plate is a well-established choice for commercial griddle work. It retains heat effectively and recovers quickly when cold product is loaded, which matters during sustained peak covers when the griddle is rarely given time to rest. The fully welded plate construction eliminates recessed joints and seams that would otherwise harbour grease and food debris, making end-of-service cleaning more manageable.
The day-to-day operational advantages of the GS7 centre on control, consistency, and practical usability:
- Dual-zone thermostatic control for independent temperature management across the surface
- Thick steel plate delivers stable, even heat distribution throughout service
- Fully welded construction reduces dirt traps and simplifies cleaning routines
- Gas operation gives immediate heat response, well suited to fast-paced service periods
- Independent zone control allows partial shutdown when full capacity is not required
As a gas appliance, the GS7 requires connection to a suitable gas supply — natural gas or LPG depending on your site. Installation and commissioning must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Adequate extraction ventilation above the cooking position is essential, as griddles generate significant heat and vapour during service. The GS7 is a countertop unit and will need a suitable cooking suite or fabricated bench at the correct working height before it can be commissioned.
The GS7 is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotel kitchens, and fast-food operations running a steady volume of griddled items through service. It handles breakfast menus, burgers, fish, and similar fare reliably at a mid-range capacity level. For very high-throughput operations — large contract catering sites or high-volume concepts running continuous output — a heavier-duty or wider unit may be worth considering. For lower-volume sites or kitchens with limited bench space, a smaller model in the range may be a more practical fit.
If you would like to talk through whether the GS7 matches your service volume, or have questions about your gas supply setup, the team are happy to help you work it out before you commit.
£709.00(£850.80 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS6/TR is a countertop electric griddle with a machined steel cooking plate divided into two distinct zones — one flat, one ribbed. The split-surface layout means operators can cook different items simultaneously on a single unit, which is a practical advantage in kitchens where the menu calls for both flat-cooked results and char-marked finishes within the same service period.
The machined steel plate is substantial enough to hold heat during busy periods and recovers reasonably well when cold product is loaded. Each half has its own independent thermostat, so the flat and ribbed zones can be set to different temperatures and controlled separately. This allows menu flexibility during a full service, and means the less-used side can be run down or switched off during quieter periods to reduce energy consumption. The fully welded plate construction eliminates joins and crevices where grease and debris would otherwise accumulate, making end-of-service cleaning noticeably more straightforward.
- Independent thermostat controls for each cooking zone
- Ribbed surface produces char marks without a separate chargrill
- Fully welded plate removes debris traps, aiding daily cleaning
- Countertop format fits well on a cooking line or pass position
- Dual-zone operation supports energy management during variable demand
As an electric unit, it will require a correctly rated supply for your site — confirm available capacity before ordering. Adequate overhead extraction at the cooking position is also necessary and should be factored into placement decisions. Allow sufficient clearance around and beneath the unit for routine cleaning access.
This griddle is well suited to small to medium-volume operations — cafés, pubs, bistros, and hotel kitchen lines — where the menu benefits from both cooking surfaces but space or budget does not justify two separate units. For kitchens running continuous high-volume grill service or heavy breakfast trade, a larger or heavier-duty model may be worth considering to meet throughput demands comfortably.
If you'd like to talk through whether this unit suits your service volumes and kitchen setup, the team is happy to help before you make a decision.
£1,697.00(£2,036.40 inc VAT)
The Lincat Opus OE8206 is a countertop electric griddle built around a thick steel cooking plate. It is designed for continuous commercial use, distributing heat evenly across the full surface to reduce hot spots and deliver consistent results whether the plate is fully loaded or working at partial capacity. Independent thermostatic zone control means each section of the plate can be managed separately, which is a practical advantage across a varied or split-menu service.
In a busy kitchen environment, the steel plate performs reliably across a wide range of griddled items — burgers, bacon, eggs, fish, halloumi, and similar. The surface holds temperature well when cold product is placed on it and recovers steadily between batches, which matters when covers are running back to back. Over time and with regular seasoning, a steel plate surface improves with use in a way that chrome plate does not replicate, making it a sensible long-term choice where griddled items are a menu staple.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the OE8206 offers several practical advantages:
- Independent zone control reduces energy draw during quieter periods or partial-menu service
- Thermostatic control holds cooking temperature without constant manual intervention
- Flush radiused edges reduce grease traps and simplify end-of-service cleaning
- Steel plate seasons well and is straightforward to maintain with routine care
- Opus series construction is built for sustained commercial service
Installation is relatively uncomplicated for a commercial electric griddle. There is no gas connection involved, and no dedicated ventilation extract beyond standard kitchen practice — though positioning beneath an extraction canopy is sensible to manage cooking vapours. Before installation, confirm the electrical supply meets the unit's requirements and check bench load-bearing capacity with your fit-out team if the unit is to be countertop-mounted.
This griddle suits cafés, pub kitchens, hotel operations, and small-to-medium restaurants running a regular grill menu with steady rather than exceptionally high throughput. For very high-volume sites or extended service periods with continuous heavy loading, a wider or higher-output unit may be a better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this model is the right match for your service volume and setup, the team is happy to work through the options with you.
£834.00(£1,000.80 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS4 is a gas-fired flat plate griddle built around a solid machined steel cooking surface. It is a straightforward, practical unit designed to deliver consistent, controllable heat across the full cooking area without unnecessary complexity. Steel plate is a well-established choice for commercial griddle work — it develops a natural seasoning over time and handles the kind of mixed-menu cooking found in café, pub, and fast-casual environments well: burgers, bacon, eggs, and general breakfast or grill service items.
During busy service periods, the key question for any griddle is how well it holds temperature under continuous load. The GS4's gas burner sits directly beneath the cooking plate, which supports good heat retention even when the surface is heavily used throughout a shift. Thermostat control allows the chef to set and hold a target temperature rather than managing heat manually, which helps maintain consistency and reduces the risk of overcooking when working at pace.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the fully welded plate construction is worth noting. There are no seams or joints in the cooking surface to trap grease or food debris, which makes end-of-service cleaning considerably more straightforward and supports hygiene compliance. Other practical advantages include:
- Thermostat control holds consistent temperature through varying service demand
- Fully welded cooking surface simplifies cleaning and limits grease traps
- Steel plate suits a broad range of griddled items and improves with seasoning
- Gas operation provides responsive, direct heat adjustment throughout service
- Compact footprint suits kitchens where counter space is at a premium
As a gas appliance, the GS4 requires a suitable gas supply — either natural gas or LPG depending on your site — and installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Adequate overhead extraction or canopy ventilation will be required above the cooking position. It is worth confirming your available gas supply pressure before ordering, as this affects commissioning.
The GS4 is well suited to smaller commercial operations running steady but manageable throughput — cafés, pub kitchens, and small restaurant grill sections that need a reliable single-zone gas griddle. For operations handling significant continuous volume or cooking multiple proteins simultaneously across a longer service, a wider or heavier-duty unit may serve better. If your menu leans heavily towards delicate fish or dishes where a very smooth, non-reactive surface is preferred, a chrome plate alternative is worth comparing.
If you would like to talk through whether this model suits your kitchen layout, service volume, or existing gas supply, the team is happy to help you work it through before you order.
£382.00(£458.40 inc VAT)
The Lincat LGR2 is a countertop electric griddle built around a one-piece cast iron cooking plate. Cast iron is a well-proven material for griddle work — it holds heat consistently across the surface and, once at working temperature, maintains that heat effectively even when food is loaded. This makes it a practical choice for operations cooking a steady flow of bacon, eggs, burgers, sandwiches, or similar items throughout service.
It is worth understanding the material characteristics before committing. Cast iron takes longer to reach working temperature than a thinner steel plate, but it rewards patience with stable, even heat distribution across the full cooking surface. It suits steady, moderate-throughput service well. Where immediate recovery after heavy loading is the priority — high-volume burger operations or continuous breakfast service at pace — a larger or heavier-duty unit is likely to be a better fit. The thermostat control allows operators to dial in a consistent working temperature and ease back during quieter periods, which helps manage energy use without shutting the griddle down entirely.
For smaller kitchen environments, the LGR2 offers several practical advantages:
- Even heat across the plate reduces hot spots and inconsistent cooking results
- Thermostat control supports consistent output across varied menu items
- One-piece plate design simplifies cleaning at the end of service
- Electric operation requires no gas supply, interlock, or flue connection
- Low-profile countertop format fits comfortably on a standard preparation counter
Installation is straightforward. The main consideration is confirming that the electrical supply at the intended counter position is adequate. Overhead extraction should be in place to handle steam and cooking vapours, as with any countertop cooking equipment.
The LGR2 is well suited to cafés, small diners, hotel breakfast stations, and similar settings where griddle cooking forms a regular but not dominant part of the menu. If your service volume is higher, or if you need dual-zone temperature control or a ribbed surface option, other models in the range are worth exploring.
If you would like to talk through whether the LGR2 fits your kitchen and service pattern, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit.
£684.00(£820.80 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS7 is a countertop electric griddle built around a machined steel cooking plate. It is designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens where consistent, even heat across the full cooking surface is a practical working requirement. Steel plate construction gives it a different cooking characteristic to chrome alternatives — it seasons with use and is well suited to products that benefit from direct surface contact, such as burgers, bacon, eggs, and breakfast staples.
In a busy service environment, even heat distribution is what separates a reliable griddle from an unreliable one. The machined steel plate is designed to minimise hot spots, which matters when you are cooking multiple portions simultaneously and need consistent results across the full surface. Two independently controlled heat zones give the operator flexibility to run different temperature profiles side by side, or to reduce energy draw on one half during quieter periods — a practical advantage that adds up over a long service shift.
From a hygiene standpoint, the fully welded plate construction removes the joins and seams that trap grease and food debris on lesser units, making end-of-service cleaning considerably more straightforward. Key operational advantages include:
- Dual independently controlled zones for flexible heat management across the plate
- Machined steel surface promotes even heat distribution during continuous cooking
- Fully welded plate eliminates grease traps and simplifies daily cleaning routines
- Thermostatically controlled zones support energy management during quieter periods
- Countertop format suits kitchens where bench space is at a premium
As a countertop unit, the GS7 needs a worksurface capable of supporting its weight and tolerating the heat generated during operation. Adequate ventilation above and around the unit is advisable, and your extraction should be appropriate for your cooking volumes. It runs on an electrical supply, so it is worth confirming your available capacity with an electrician before installation.
The GS7 is well suited to small to medium-volume operations — cafés, hotel breakfast kitchens, pub grill stations, and similar environments where a reliable, easy-to-manage griddle is needed without the footprint of a larger unit. For very high-throughput sites running continuous all-day grill service, a heavier-duty or larger-format model may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether the GS7 suits your service volumes or kitchen setup, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£952.00(£1,142.40 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS3/C is an electric griddle with a chrome-plated cooking surface. Chrome plate is a practical choice in commercial kitchens where a smooth, non-reactive cooking surface matters — it is commonly used for eggs, fish, delicate proteins, and anything where sticking or colour transfer from a bare steel plate would compromise presentation or flavour. The plate is machined to a consistent thickness to support even heat distribution across the cooking zone, and the fully welded construction removes joints and crevices that would otherwise trap grease and food debris over time.
In a working kitchen, the thermostatically controlled rotary dial allows operators to set and hold a consistent plate temperature throughout a service period. The chrome surface reaches working temperature efficiently and holds it steadily once up to heat, making it reliable through a busy lunch or dinner service without needing to run at full output continuously. Temperature can be reduced during quieter periods, which helps manage energy consumption across a long shift.
The key operational advantages are:
- Chrome plate resists staining and suits delicate or high-turnover menu items
- Fully welded plate edges reduce cleaning time and limit bacterial harborage points
- Thermostat control supports consistent results and avoids unnecessary energy use
- Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or gas safety checks at installation
As an electric unit, an appropriate power supply will need to be confirmed before ordering. No gas connection is required, which gives more flexibility over positioning in kitchens where gas runs are limited. Like any griddle in regular commercial use, correct placement under extraction is advisable to manage heat and steam output during service.
This unit is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations running moderate service volumes. The chrome plate specification makes it particularly appropriate where surface cleanliness and gentle cooking characteristics are priorities. For higher-volume sites or operations running continuous service across multiple cooking zones, a heavier-duty or wider model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the chrome plate suits your menu or whether this unit matches your service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Lincat GS6/TFR is an electric countertop griddle fitted with a fully ribbed, machined steel plate. The ribbed surface produces char marks during cooking — a practical alternative to a separate chargrill for meats, fish, vegetables, and panini-style products where presentation lines are part of the finished dish. It sits within Lincat's established range of steel plate griddles, built to the standard of construction the brand has maintained from its UK manufacturing base since 1971.
The machined steel plate is designed to distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface, reducing the risk of hot spots that cause inconsistent results during a busy service. Two independently controlled temperature zones allow the operator to run different temperatures at the same time — useful when cooking a mix of proteins and vegetables in parallel, or when holding one zone at a lower standby temperature during quieter periods to avoid unnecessary energy draw.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GS6/TFR offers some practical advantages worth noting:
- Ribbed surface delivers char marks without a separate chargrill taking up additional bench space
- Dual zone control supports varied menu output from a single piece of equipment
- Thermostatically controlled zones help hold consistent temperatures throughout service
- Fully welded plate construction reduces crevices, making end-of-service cleaning more manageable
- Electric operation suits kitchens without gas supply or where gas infrastructure is limited
Being electric, installation is generally more straightforward than gas alternatives. That said, supply requirements should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before purchase — particularly where the griddle is being added to an existing bank of equipment and circuit capacity needs checking. As with any griddle, adequate overhead extraction or a canopy will be required to meet ventilation standards.
The GS6/TFR is well suited to small and medium-volume operations — cafés, pub kitchens, hotel breakfast services, and smaller restaurant settings — where a ribbed cooking surface is needed regularly but bench space is at a premium. Sites running very high continuous volumes of grilled product across a long service may find a heavier-duty model with a larger cooking area a more appropriate fit for their throughput demands.
If you want to talk through whether the GS6/TFR is the right match for your menu, service volume, or kitchen setup, the team at Advantage Catering Equipment is happy to have that conversation.

The Lincat GS6 is a countertop electric griddle built around a solid machined steel cooking plate. It sits within Lincat's established range of countertop cooking equipment and is designed for kitchens that need a dependable, straightforward griddle without unnecessary complexity. The flat steel surface handles a broad range of foods — burgers, bacon, eggs, fish fillets, and similar items that benefit from direct contact with a consistent, even cooking surface.
In a working kitchen, evenness across the plate matters. The machined steel construction distributes heat consistently, reducing the risk of hot spots that cause uneven results during a busy service. Temperature is managed via a rotary thermostat, allowing operators to set and hold the heat they need without constant attention. During quieter periods, the thermostat also helps avoid unnecessary energy use — a practical consideration for any kitchen keeping an eye on running costs.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GS6 offers several practical advantages:
- Fully welded plate construction reduces crevices where grease and debris can collect
- Thermostatically controlled temperature supports consistent results throughout service
- Simple rotary controls require minimal training to operate confidently
- Machined steel surface retains heat well during continuous cooking
- Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where bench space is limited
As an electric unit, the GS6 requires a suitable electrical supply and no gas connection. It is worth confirming your existing supply can accommodate the load before installation, and that the unit will be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance on all sides.
The GS6 is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, and similar operations running a regular breakfast or all-day menu at moderate volume. Where throughput is higher — such as busy quick-service environments or hotel kitchens running continuous covers — a heavier-duty or wider griddle is likely a better fit. If your menu leans heavily on delicate fish or items where a chrome cooking surface would be preferable, it is worth exploring the alternatives available in the range.
If you would like to talk through whether the GS6 fits your kitchen and service pattern, the team is happy to have that conversation before you make a decision.

The Lincat GS65 is an electric countertop griddle fitted with a machined steel cooking plate. It is designed for continuous commercial use where consistent, controllable heat is needed across the full plate area. The steel plate surface handles a broad range of menu items reliably — breakfast items, burgers, fish, flatbreads, and vegetables — making it a dependable flat-plate option for kitchens that need daily versatility without the infrastructure demands of a gas connection.
In a busy service environment, even heat distribution across the plate is what separates consistent output from erratic results. The machined steel plate is designed to spread heat uniformly, which reduces the cold spots that slow throughput and produce uneven cooking during peak periods. The fully welded plate edges remove the seams and joins where grease and food debris typically collect, keeping end-of-service cleaning straightforward and reducing the time hygiene maintenance takes out of the working day.
- Even surface heat across the full plate for consistent cooking results
- Fully welded plate edges eliminate grease traps and simplify cleaning
- Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or flue connection
- Countertop format fits into most commercial kitchen line configurations
- Suited to a broad range of menu items across multiple dayparts
As an electric unit, the GS65 does not require a gas supply or associated flue infrastructure. It will need a suitable dedicated electrical supply, so confirming available capacity with a qualified electrician before installation is advisable. The unit should be positioned on a solid, heat-resistant countertop surface within reach of adequate extraction.
The GS65 is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, school canteens, and smaller restaurant operations running moderate daily throughput. It is a practical choice where a steel plate finish is preferred over chrome. For higher-volume sites requiring a larger cooking area or more intensive continuous use, a heavier-duty model from the wider range may be worth considering.
If you are weighing up whether this griddle fits your kitchen layout and service volumes, the team at Advantage is glad to talk it through with you.

The Lincat GS6/C is an electrically powered commercial griddle with a chrome-plated cooking surface. The plate is machined from solid steel and finished with chrome, producing a smooth, non-reactive surface that handles delicate ingredients — eggs, fish, pancakes, crêpes — without the sticking or marking that a rougher steel plate can cause. A rotary thermostat controls the cooking temperature, giving operators straightforward, repeatable heat management across the plate during service.
In commercial kitchens where surface contact and presentation matter, chrome plate is a considered choice rather than a default one. The smooth finish reduces sticking and produces cleaner results on foods that need a gentler cooking surface. Thermostatic control helps hold a steady temperature during sustained service, which in turn supports more consistent batch results during peak periods — a practical advantage where menu items need to look the same whether they go out at noon or at two o'clock.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GS6/C offers several practical advantages:
- Chrome surface reduces sticking on delicate proteins, eggs, and pancake-style dishes
- Fully welded plate construction avoids seams that trap grease and food debris
- Thermostatic control supports energy efficiency during quieter service periods
- Machined steel base supports even heat distribution across the cooking zone
- Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or gas safety certification on site
As an electric unit, the GS6/C requires a suitable dedicated power supply — it is worth confirming your kitchen's available supply before ordering. The griddle should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance to adjacent equipment and overhead structures. Chrome plate benefits from correct seasoning on first use and routine care to maintain surface condition and cooking performance over time; operators who are unfamiliar with chrome plate maintenance should factor this into their decision.
This griddle is well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, small restaurants, and contract catering operations running moderate service volumes where the menu genuinely calls for a chrome surface. Operators handling high-volume continuous service, or those cooking primarily at high temperatures with fatty meat cuts, may find a standard mild steel plate or a heavier-duty model a more practical fit for their operation.
If you are working out whether a chrome plate griddle suits your menu and service pattern, we are happy to talk it through — it is the kind of decision that is worth getting right before you buy.

The Lincat OE8211 is an electric clam griddle designed for commercial kitchens where speed and consistency through a busy service are the priority. Unlike a conventional flat griddle, the clam format uses upper and lower heated plates that close over the food and cook both sides simultaneously. The upper plate adjusts automatically to accommodate varying food thickness, so there is no need to reset manually between different items.
Cooking both sides at once reduces the time each item spends on the griddle and removes the need for turning, which helps maintain throughput during peak periods. Two independently controlled cooking zones allow operators to run one side at full capacity while holding the other on standby during quieter spells — avoiding unnecessary energy use without powering the unit down entirely. Individual digital timers on each clam plate support consistent results across a full service, which is particularly useful where more than one person is working the station.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit is straightforward to manage:
- PTFE non-stick sheets on the clam plates reduce food adhesion and simplify cleaning between and after service
- The stainless steel lower plate wipes down quickly without elaborate effort
- A large fat collection drawer allows extended cooking runs without frequent interruption
- A wide drainage channel reduces time spent managing fat clearance during service
As an electric unit, the OE8211 requires a hardwired connection with appropriate circuit protection — it is not a plug-in appliance. Connection should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and it is worth confirming your available supply is compatible before ordering. The unit is designed for countertop installation with adequate clearance around it; it is not suitable for outdoor or unventilated environments.
The OE8211 suits cafés, quick-service restaurants, hotel kitchens, and similar operations handling paninis, burgers, chicken portions, breakfast items, or anything that benefits from fast, consistent two-sided cooking. Sites running continuous high-volume output across a full day may find a heavier-duty model more appropriate for their demands.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your service volumes and kitchen setup, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.
£496.00(£595.20 inc VAT)
The Lincat GS4 is a countertop electric griddle built around a solid machined steel cooking plate. It is designed to handle the everyday demands of commercial short-order cooking — burgers, bacon, eggs, fish, and grilled vegetables — where a reliable, flat-surface station is needed without the complexity of a gas installation.
Steel plate griddles are well regarded in working kitchens for their ability to retain and distribute heat consistently across the cooking surface. The machined finish on the GS4 supports good food contact, which matters during a breakfast or lunch service where throughput needs to remain steady. A rotary thermostat allows temperature adjustment to suit different menu items without interrupting service — a practical advantage when the menu shifts between periods.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GS4 offers several clear benefits:
- Fully welded plate construction removes dirt traps and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Thermostat control supports consistent temperature management across different menu items
- Machined steel surface handles high-protein items and general short-order cooking reliably
- Compact countertop format fits into tight kitchen layouts without a dedicated equipment run
As an electric unit, installation is more straightforward than a gas equivalent — no gas connection is required, and there is no regulatory obligation for a dedicated ventilation canopy, though standard kitchen extraction should be in place. You will need to confirm that your electrical supply can support the load, and allow adequate worktop depth and clearance for safe daily use and cleaning access.
The GS4 is well suited to smaller and medium-sized operations — cafés, pub kitchens, hotel breakfast services, and similar sites with a consistent but moderate demand for grilled items. Sites running extended service periods at higher volume simultaneously may find a larger, higher-capacity griddle serves them better.
If you are unsure whether the GS4 fits your kitchen's volume and workflow, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
