Product Description
The Lincat P6B4 Panther is a mobile hot cupboard with a slimline footprint and a bain marie top, designed for operations that need dependable plate and food holding without fixing a unit permanently to the pass. The bain marie top can be run wet or dry and is thermostatically controlled, allowing operators to hold food at a consistent serving temperature from the first cover to the last. A fan-assisted interior distributes heat evenly throughout the cabinet, reducing the risk of cold spots on plated meals or pre-warmed plates waiting for service.
The slimline depth is what sets this unit apart in practical terms. It works in spaces where a full-depth hot cupboard simply would not fit — corridor serveries, function room staging areas, and tight passes where every centimetre matters. The heavy-duty castors mean it can be repositioned between services or moved between areas of the operation, which is particularly useful for venues running banqueting or event catering alongside a regular restaurant service.
- Thermostatically controlled bain marie top, operable wet or dry
- Fan-assisted heat distribution for even cabinet temperature
- Two height-adjustable internal shelves for plates and plated meals
- Double sliding doors for quick access during busy service
- Heavy-duty castors for safe repositioning without lifting
This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and function venues running moderate covers where a mobile hold-and-serve solution is needed. It is worth noting that the slimline design does reduce internal capacity relative to full-depth alternatives, so for high-volume sites holding large quantities of plated meals across an extended service, a larger or fixed pass-through unit may be a more practical choice.
If you are weighing up whether this unit suits your service volumes or space, the team are happy to talk it through before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the bain marie top is designed to accept standard gastronorm containers when run in wet mode, making it practical for holding sauces, soups, and portioned food items alongside plated meals held in the cabinet below. Running it dry is also an option where you only need surface warmth for plates or serving dishes.
- The unit runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply, which makes it straightforward to deploy in function rooms, marquees, and servery areas without specialist electrical installation. If you are planning to use it in a location away from a fixed catering kitchen, it is worth confirming the available supply rating with your electrician before committing.
- The reduced depth keeps the overall footprint manageable but does limit how many plates or GN containers can be held at one time compared with a full-depth hot cupboard. For operations running high covers over a long service period — or where significant quantities of food need to be held simultaneously — a full-depth or higher-capacity fixed unit is likely to serve better, and we can help you work out which specification fits your volumes.
