Lincat GS4 Steel Plate Gas Griddle
£834.00(£1,000.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
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.
Frequently asked questions
Is the GS4 suitable for high-volume breakfast or grill service?
The GS4 handles steady, consistent throughput well and is a practical choice for cafés, pub kitchens, and small restaurant grill sections. For operations running very high continuous volume — such as a busy hotel breakfast service or a fast-food environment — a wider or higher-output unit would be worth considering to avoid overloading a single cooking zone.
What are the installation requirements for the GS4?
The GS4 requires a connection to either a natural gas or LPG supply, depending on your site setup, and all gas installation work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You will also need adequate overhead extraction or a canopy ventilation system positioned above the cooking area. Confirming your site's gas supply pressure before ordering is advisable, as this can affect how the unit is commissioned.
Should I choose a steel plate or chrome plate griddle for my menu?
Steel plate is a versatile and proven choice for mixed-menu cooking — burgers, bacon, eggs, and general grill work — and it develops a natural seasoning over time that many operators find beneficial. Chrome plate tends to suit kitchens where a very smooth, non-reactive surface is needed, particularly for delicate fish or where cross-flavour contamination between ingredients is a concern. If your menu includes both, it is worth discussing your specific requirements with us before deciding.
