Griddles and Plates

The Cinders Flat Griddle is a cooking-grade aluminium plate designed to sit directly over the grill bars of compatible Cinders SG80 and TG160 BBQ units. It converts the open grill into a flat-top cooking surface, broadening what the unit can do without requiring additional equipment on site.

In practice, this kind of accessory earns its place quickly on busy outdoor catering operations. An open grill is inherently limited in what it can hold and how it transfers heat — a flat griddle changes that significantly. It handles fried onions, peppers, and other garnishes that need to stay warm and ready throughout service, manages batches of pancakes or breakfast items, and copes well with stir-fried vegetables at pace. The lipped edges contain food and cooking juices, which matters when working fast in an outdoor or event environment where mess quickly becomes a practical problem.

On TG160 models, the griddle slides side-to-side across the cooking surface, and the reflected heat assists with cleaning the grill bars beneath as it moves — a useful detail that reduces time spent on maintenance between services.

• Converts open grill bars to a flat cooking surface without extra equipment
• Lipped edges contain food and juices during fast-paced outdoor service
• Sliding action on TG160 models helps clean the grill surface beneath
• Thick aluminium plate distributes and retains heat evenly across the cooking area
• Broadens the menu range achievable from a single Cinders BBQ unit

This griddle is designed specifically for Cinders SG80 and TG160 models and is not a universal fit across other manufacturers' equipment. For sites with consistently high throughput, it is worth considering whether a dedicated commercial flat-top griddle or a larger-capacity unit would be a better match for the volume involved.

If you are unsure whether this plate suits your current setup or the type of events you cater for, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Buffalo Outdoor Gas Griddle is a flat-plate gas plancha designed specifically for outdoor commercial use. Running on gas and built from steel, it provides a large, even cooking surface well suited to burgers, vegetables, fish, and similar high-throughput fare commonly served at catering events, market stalls, food festivals, and outdoor hospitality settings.

In a busy outdoor service environment, a flat griddle plate offers consistent, direct contact heat across the cooking surface, which supports steady output when volume picks up during peak service periods. The steel plate retains heat reasonably well, allowing operators to work across the surface without frequent cold spots slowing throughput. At 15kg it is manageable enough to transport and position without heavy lifting equipment, which suits operators who are regularly setting up and breaking down at different locations.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Large cooking area suited to simultaneous multi-item service
• Flat plate construction simplifies cleaning between covers
• Gas operation removes dependency on mains electricity at site
• Compact footprint relative to cooking surface area
• Straightforward set-up with no complex installation requirements

As this unit is designed for outdoor use, it should not be operated in enclosed or insufficiently ventilated spaces. Operators will need a compatible gas supply and appropriate regulator for their cylinder type — this is worth confirming before the first event. The unit is not intended for permanent indoor installation. For very high-volume outdoor catering where output demands are more sustained, a heavier-duty double-burner or larger surface model may be worth considering.

This griddle is a practical choice for mobile caterers, event operators, and outdoor hospitality venues that need reliable gas cooking without fixed infrastructure. It is equally well suited to smaller catering businesses looking for an affordable entry point into outdoor flat-plate cooking.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or have questions about gas compatibility for your setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Crown Verity Steam Pan Adaptor is a purpose-built accessory designed exclusively for use with barbecues in the Crown Verity MCB range. It allows operators to seat a standard steam pan directly into the barbecue unit, extending its function beyond direct grilling to include holding and heating food during service.

For event caterers and outdoor hospitality teams, the practical value is straightforward. Rather than running separate holding equipment alongside the grill, this adaptor allows sauces, sides, and pre-cooked items to be kept at serving temperature on the same unit. During busy service periods, that reduction in equipment footprint and handling time matters.

• Keeps sauces, sides, and pre-cooked items at serving temperature on the grill unit
• Reduces the need for separate holding equipment at events or outdoor venues
• Straightforward to fit for operators already familiar with the MCB range
• Helps lean out equipment counts on mobile or temporary catering setups
• Compatible with standard steam pan sizing used across most catering operations

Fitting is uncomplicated for anyone familiar with the MCB system. It is worth noting that this adaptor is designed specifically for Crown Verity MCB barbecues and should not be assumed to fit other manufacturers' equipment or other Crown Verity ranges.

This accessory suits operators who already own an MCB range barbecue and want to make more productive use of it during service. It is particularly well suited to event catering, outdoor hospitality venues, and mobile catering operations where keeping equipment counts lean is a priority.

If you want to confirm compatibility with your specific MCB model before ordering, our team is happy to help.

The Crown Verity PGT1117 is a perforated grill plate designed to fit the full MCB range of Crown Verity barbecues. The perforated surface allows heat and smoke to circulate around food while preventing smaller items from falling through the grill grates — a practical solution for caterers cooking fish, vegetables, or other delicate produce on a commercial outdoor setup.

In a busy outdoor catering or events environment, this kind of accessory earns its place quickly. Fish fillets, asparagus, sliced courgette, and similar ingredients that would be lost or damaged on open grates cook evenly and stay intact, reducing waste and improving plate presentation. The plate sits directly on the existing MCB grill surface, so there is no complex setup involved.

Key practical advantages include:

• Prevents delicate fish and vegetables from falling through grates
• Allows smoke penetration and char flavour to develop naturally
• Compatible across the MCB barbecue range — no additional adapters needed
• Simple to remove and clean between service periods
• Expands menu flexibility on an existing MCB unit

This is a straightforward accessory rather than a complex piece of equipment, but it is worth confirming compatibility with your specific MCB model before ordering. If you are putting together a full outdoor catering station or are unsure which Crown Verity accessories suit your setup, the team is happy to help you piece it together sensibly.

The Crown Verity PGRID48 is a full-width griddle plate designed specifically for the MCB48 barbecue unit. It slides directly into the cooking position in place of the standard grill grates, converting the MCB48 into a flat-top cooking surface without any tools or permanent modification. It is a dedicated accessory, not a universal fit, so it is worth confirming you have the MCB48 before ordering.

The plate is constructed from thick rolled steel, which gives it the mass to hold temperature consistently across the full surface when food is loaded. In a busy outdoor service environment — events catering, festival operations, large hospitality functions — this matters. A thinner plate would shed heat quickly under volume; the PGRID48 maintains cooking temperature through continuous service in a way that keeps throughput steady rather than forcing the operator to work in smaller batches.

Practical features that make a difference in service include:

• Slide-on fitment allowing quick conversion between griddle and open grill cooking
• Thick rolled steel construction for consistent heat retention under load
• Removable grease tray for faster cleaning between service periods
• Integrated splashguard to reduce mess and protect the operator
• Designed exclusively for the MCB48, ensuring a secure, stable fit

As a removable accessory, it gives operators the flexibility to switch between grill and griddle cooking depending on the menu — a useful characteristic when outdoor event menus vary from one day to the next. Cleaning is straightforward given the removable grease management, which matters when turnaround between services is tight.

If you are unsure whether the PGRID48 suits your current MCB48 setup, or want to talk through outdoor cooking accessories more broadly, the team is glad to help you work through it.

The Crown Verity PGRID36 is a heavy-duty rolled steel griddle plate designed to fit the Crown Verity MCB36 and MCB72 outdoor gas barbecues. It replaces the standard grill grates with a flat cooking surface, opening up a wider range of menu options — eggs, smashed burgers, pancakes, thin cuts, and finely diced ingredients — that would not be practical on an open-bar grill. The slide-on fitting requires no tools, so the changeover between grill and griddle cooking can be done quickly during service without disrupting the operation.

In busy outdoor catering environments, heat consistency across the cooking surface is important. The thick rolled steel construction holds and distributes heat evenly, helping to reduce hot spots and maintain stable temperatures during sustained service runs. For operators working long outdoor events where the barbecue is running continuously, this even heat retention makes a practical difference to output and consistency. The included splashguard helps contain grease and residue during cooking, and the removable grease tray makes end-of-service cleaning more manageable.

• Slide-on, tool-free fitting for fast changeover between griddle and grill surfaces
• Thick rolled steel plate for even heat distribution under sustained use
• Splashguard helps contain cooking residue during service
• Removable grease tray simplifies cleaning at end of service
• Compatible with both MCB36 and MCB72 barbecue models

It is worth noting that the PGRID36 is only compatible with the MCB36 and MCB72 — it is not a universal fitting across the Crown Verity range. If you are running a different Crown Verity model, confirming compatibility before ordering is advisable. Operators who need a dedicated flat griddle surface running full-time at high volume may also want to consider whether a standalone commercial flat-top better suits their output requirements.

This plate is well suited to mobile caterers, outdoor event operators, and hospitality venues already running Crown Verity MCB barbecues who want the flexibility to add griddle cooking without investing in a separate unit. It is a practical accessory rather than a standalone piece of kit, and its real value lies in the versatility it adds to an existing setup.

If you are unsure whether the PGRID36 suits your current barbecue model or service setup, feel free to have a conversation with the team before ordering.

The Crown Verity PGRID30 is a 750mm removable griddle plate designed exclusively for use with the Crown Verity MCB30 and MCB60 barbecue units. It fits directly onto the barbecue via a slide-on mounting system and converts the open grill into a flat-top cooking surface without tools or any meaningful downtime between the switch.

In outdoor catering and event environments, having flat-top capability alongside a grill matters more than it might seem at first. A wide range of menu items — eggs, bacon, onions, smash burgers, pancakes — simply cannot be prepared on an open grill without loss of product or poor results. The PGRID30 handles these reliably, and the thick rolled steel construction holds heat across the surface well during continuous service, which helps maintain consistent output when throughput is high and recovery time is limited.

• Slide-on fitment allows fast changeover between griddle and grill cooking
• Removable grease tray simplifies cleaning between service periods
• Integrated splashguard helps contain grease and reduces hazard during service
• Heavy rolled steel construction retains heat evenly under sustained use

The PGRID30 is designed to fit the MCB30 and MCB60 only — it will not fit other Crown Verity models or third-party barbecues, so it is worth confirming your unit before ordering. Like any rolled steel griddle surface, it will benefit from proper seasoning and consistent aftercare to maintain cooking performance and surface condition over time.

This accessory is well suited to outdoor caterers, festival and event operators, and hospitality venues running MCB-series Crown Verity barbecues who need occasional or regular flat-top cooking capability without investing in a separate dedicated unit. For operations where flat-top cooking is the primary output at high volume, a standalone griddle may be a more practical solution.

If you would like to talk through whether this fits your current setup or how it works alongside your existing MCB unit, the team is glad to help you work it out before you order.

The Crown Verity G2022 is a 533mm drop-on griddle plate designed specifically for use with Crown Verity MCB barbecues. It sits directly over the existing grill grates, converting the open-flame cooking surface into a flat-top griddle without any permanent modification or additional connections. It draws heat from the barbecue burners beneath it, giving operators a straightforward way to expand what a single unit can produce during service.

In practice, this kind of accessory earns its place at outdoor catering stations, hospitality events, and festival or street food setups where the same barbecue needs to handle both grilled and griddle-cooked items across a busy shift. Switching between surfaces without changing equipment keeps the operation practical and the footprint compact — useful when space or logistics are a constraint.

The main operational advantages this plate adds to an existing MCB unit:

• Flat cooking surface for eggs, bacon, pancakes, and similar items
• Drop-on fit — no tools, no permanent modification, no extra connections
• Consistent heat transfer direct from the barbecue burners below
• Extends menu range without requiring a separate piece of equipment
• Easy to lift off and clean between service periods

Compatibility is confirmed for Crown Verity MCB barbecues only — it should not be assumed to fit other brands or models. As with any outdoor cooking setup, the host barbecue should be on a stable, level surface before the plate is placed into service. The plate itself adds no gas or electrical requirement beyond what the barbecue already demands.

This plate suits caterers, hospitality venues, and event operators who already run Crown Verity MCB barbecues and want to add griddle capability without the cost or footprint of a dedicated unit. For sites running consistently high volumes of flat-top cooking, a standalone griddle may prove a more practical long-term investment.

If you'd like to talk through how this fits into your current outdoor cooking setup, our team is glad to help you think it through.

The Crown Verity G1222 is a 300mm drop-on griddle plate designed specifically for use with Crown Verity MCB series barbecues. It sits directly over the existing grate and heat source, converting a portion of the cooking surface into a flat griddle zone without any additional connections, installation work, or separate equipment.

In outdoor catering and events environments, having both a grilled surface and a flat griddle available on the same unit is a practical advantage. The plate absorbs and distributes heat from the burners beneath, providing a consistent flat cooking surface suited to eggs, bacon, pancakes, and other foods that don't perform well on an open grate. For operators running breakfast services or varied menus at outdoor events, this avoids the need to bring a separate piece of kit to site.

• Adds flat griddle capability to an existing MCB series barbecue
• No connections or installation required — drops into place over the grate
• Suitable for foods unsuitable for open grilling, including eggs and bacon
• Removable between services for cleaning and storage
• Expands menu options without additional equipment investment

It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific MCB model before ordering, as this plate is designed for the MCB series and may not suit other barbecue formats. For operations requiring extensive flat-top cooking over long service periods, a dedicated griddle unit would provide greater surface area and more precise temperature management across multiple zones.

This accessory is well suited to operators who already run Crown Verity MCB barbecues and want to broaden their cooking capability at outdoor events, hospitality venues, or temporary catering setups. If you'd like to talk through whether it fits your current configuration, the team is glad to help you work it out.

Our 15" (380mm) round base ‘London Wok' is the optimum smallest size for all Cinders wok burners. It sits comfortably in the bowl of the burner and the chef's protecting flame shield on the upper grate can be used to ‘flip' the wok when pulled forward by the handle. The round bottom encourages food to move around easily and the 195mm wooden handle is the perfect ergonomic length for balanced handling of this professional wok. Mild steel is perfect for seasoning before first use and it will give many years of good service.

The Cinders Single Pan Support is a reversible accessory designed exclusively for the Cinders Classic TG160 barbecue. It serves two distinct functions depending on how it is fitted: hung over the end of the barbecue to hold a gastronorm pan at the side, or reversed to sit above the cooking surface and act as a dry bain-marie. It accepts a single full-size 1/1 gastronorm pan at 100mm depth. The pan itself is not included.

In a live outdoor service setting, the side-hung position allows pans to be loaded and swapped without encroaching on the grill area, so the full cooking surface remains accessible throughout service. The bain-marie position makes practical use of residual heat from the barbecue to keep sauces, glazes, or accompaniments at temperature — without needing a separate heat source or any power connection. That is a genuine operational advantage when working at events or off-site locations where access to power may be limited or unpredictable.

• Reversible design provides two working configurations from a single accessory
• Side-hung position keeps the full grill surface free during service
• Dry bain-marie position draws on barbecue residual heat — no power required
• Compatible with the standard 1/1 100mm gastronorm pan format
• Compact and lightweight, well suited to mobile and multi-site event work

This accessory is worth considering for operators who run the TG160 for outdoor catering, festivals, or event work and want to extend the unit's capability without adding to the equipment load. It is not a universal fit — it is made specifically for the TG160, so it is worth confirming your barbecue model before placing an order.

If you are building out a TG160 setup for a particular type of service, we are happy to talk through how this and other accessories work together in practice.

The Cinders Double Pan Support is a purpose-built accessory designed exclusively for the Cinders Classic TG160 barbecue. It drops into position at either end of the grill and accepts two gastronorm pans, creating a practical holding and staging area directly adjacent to the cooking surface. Gastronorm pans are not included.

In a busy outdoor service environment, managing cooked food safely between the grill and the pass is an operational challenge that is often underestimated. This support addresses it directly — one pan can sit over residual heat for hot holding while the second provides staging capacity for resting or prepared items. That arrangement helps operators maintain a controlled, hygienic flow from grill to service without improvised solutions that slow throughput or introduce cross-contamination risk.

• Keeps cooked food at temperature while the grill continues in use
• Separates resting and staged food from raw product on the cooking surface
• Supports hygienic handling from preparation through to service
• Drops in and out without tools for quick setup and breakdown
• Compatible with standard gastronorm pans already in use in most operations

It is worth noting that this support is designed solely for the Cinders Classic TG160 and will not fit other Cinders models or third-party barbecues. For high-volume outdoor events where more extensive hot-holding capacity is needed, it is worth considering whether additional equipment is required before committing to a service setup.
