Parry HOT18BM Bain Marie Topped Hot Cupboard 1800mm

The Parry HOT18BM is a full-width, mobile hot cupboard that combines a dry plate-warming cabinet with a wet-heat bain marie top in a single 1800mm unit. The lower cabinet holds and warms plates and dishes throughout a full service period, while the bain marie top accepts full and fractional GN pans for holding sauces, gravies, vegetables, and portioned dishes at the same time. Combining both functions in a single footprint makes this a practical choice where counter or servery space is limited but holding capacity still needs to be meaningful.

Thermostatic control across both the cabinet and the bain marie top means operators can set a stable temperature at the start of service and rely on it to hold consistently through peak periods, without constant adjustment. The five perforated internal shelves are each supplied in three sections, keeping individual pieces manageable to handle rather than requiring two members of staff to lift a full-width shelf. The removable double-skinned doors are designed to come away without tools, which makes end-of-service cleaning straightforward.

• Five perforated shelves in three sections for easier handling and cleaning
• Removable double-skinned doors with no tools required for removal
• Four castors fitted as standard, two locking, for flexible servery positioning
• Thermostatic control across both the cabinet and bain marie top independently
• GN-compatible bain marie top accepts full and fractional pan configurations

The castors allow the unit to be repositioned during a quiet period or moved for cleaning behind — a practical consideration in serveries where layout shifts between services. Two locking castors keep it stable during use. It is worth noting that gastronorm pans are not included and will need to be sourced separately. Any gantry visible in product imagery is an optional accessory and is not part of the standard supply.

At 1800mm wide, this unit is well suited to larger servery operations — hotel restaurants, staff canteens, leisure venues, and event catering setups where multiple dishes need to be held and served concurrently. For smaller operations or tighter servery runs, a shorter hot cupboard configuration is likely a more proportionate fit. For very high-volume sites with extended service periods and intensive pan use, a heavier-duty static unit may be worth considering alongside this model.

If you would like to talk through whether this configuration suits your service setup and covers, the team is glad to work through it with you before you commit.
