Lincat PHGR01 Phoenix 6 Burner Gas Range

The Lincat Phoenix PHGR01 is a freestanding gas range combining six hob burners with a full-width static oven below. It comes from Lincat, a UK manufacturer with a well-established track record in commercial catering equipment, and is built to handle the cooking demands of a working professional kitchen across regular service periods.

Six burners provide enough simultaneous cooking positions to support a broad range of tasks within a single service — saucing, sautéing, holding large pots at temperature, and running multiple dishes in parallel. The pressed and sealed hob top contains spillage rather than allowing it to track into the body of the range, which becomes a meaningful advantage when service picks up and cleaning windows are limited. Each burner carries flame failure protection, cutting the gas supply if the flame is lost — a standard commercial safety requirement and one worth confirming is present on any range you consider.

The static oven sits below the hob and is accessed via two side-hinged doors, which works well in tighter kitchen runs where a single wide door would obstruct passing traffic. Practical benefits worth noting include:

• Sealed hob top keeps spillage contained and simplifies daily cleaning
• Flame failure on all burners meets standard commercial safety requirements
• Vitreous enamelled oven interior resists staining and cleans down efficiently
• Removable oven floor plate allows thorough access without tools
• Supplied on castors as standard, making repositioning and deep cleaning more manageable

The PHGR01 runs on natural gas or LPG — if you need LPG, confirm conversion requirements before ordering. Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the unit requires positioning beneath a suitable extraction canopy. The castors provide reasonable layout flexibility, though a level, stable floor and appropriate clearances to combustible surfaces remain essential regardless.

This range is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, pub kitchens, and catering operations running regular à la carte or set-menu service. For very high-volume sites — large banqueting operations, high-turnover covers, or continuous double-shift kitchens — a heavier-duty range with greater oven capacity may be a more appropriate fit. At the other end, smaller operations with limited floor space may find a four-burner format offers a better footprint-to-output balance.

If you are working out whether the PHGR01 is the right fit for your kitchen's output and layout, the team is glad to talk it through before you order.
