Lincat P8B6 Panther Mobile Hot Cupboard with Bain Marie Top
£2,788.00(£3,345.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Lincat P8B6 Panther is a mobile hot cupboard with a thermostatically controlled bain marie top, operable in either wet or dry mode. Designed for food holding through service, it combines a heated cabinet interior with a flexible bain marie surface, allowing operators to hold plated meals inside while keeping pans or component dishes at temperature on top — all from a single unit that can be wheeled to wherever it is needed.
During a busy service, fan-assisted heat distribution within the cabinet helps maintain a consistent holding temperature even as the sliding doors are opened and closed repeatedly. In practice, uneven cabinet heat is a common reason food quality deteriorates late into a sitting, so the fan assistance is worth more than it might appear on a specification sheet. The bain marie top accepts a range of GN configurations, making it straightforward to hold multiple dishes or components simultaneously.
Practical features that support day-to-day service:
- Wet or dry bain marie top with thermostat for precise temperature control
- Fan-assisted cabinet ensuring even heat distribution throughout service
- Two height-adjustable internal shelves for plates or plated meals
- Double sliding doors for quick, low-disruption access at the pass
- Heavy-duty castors for repositioning between service areas or events
Being mobile, the unit requires a suitable power supply at each location it occupies, so cable routing and socket positions are worth resolving before settling on a final placement. If the bain marie top is to be used in wet mode, a water supply connection and a clear route for drain-down will also need to be factored in.
The P8B6 Panther is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and banqueting operations where holding plated meals and hot pans at the pass is a regular requirement — particularly on sites where the servery layout shifts between services or events. For operations with significantly higher throughput, or where a permanent built-in installation is preferred, a larger fixed unit is likely the more appropriate choice.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your service volumes, site layout, or power setup, the team is happy to help before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Can the bain marie top be used dry, or does it always need water?
The bain marie top on the P8B6 Panther is designed to operate in both wet and dry modes, controlled by the thermostat in either case. Dry mode suits operations holding pans that do not benefit from steam, while wet mode is more appropriate for dishes where moisture retention matters. If you are unsure which suits your menu, it is worth discussing with the team before installation.
What power supply does the P8B6 Panther require, and does location matter?
The unit is electrically powered and requires a suitable socket at each position it occupies. Because it is mobile, you will need to ensure power access is practical across all intended locations rather than just one fixed point. Cable management and socket placement are worth planning in advance to avoid operational compromises once the unit is in use.
Is this unit appropriate for high-volume banqueting, or is it better suited to smaller services?
The P8B6 Panther handles regular restaurant and hotel pass service well, and its mobility makes it particularly useful for banqueting operations where layouts vary between events. For very high-volume services running continuous covers over extended periods, a larger or heavier-duty fixed hot cupboard may offer more appropriate capacity — the team can help assess which specification matches your actual service volumes.
