Product Description
The Crown Verity RD48 is a roll dome lid designed specifically for use with the MCB48 barbecue. It fits directly over the existing grill surface and creates an enclosed cooking environment, allowing heat to circulate around food rather than radiating upward from below alone.
Adding this lid changes how the MCB48 performs in service. Thicker cuts of meat, poultry, and whole sausages cook more evenly with significantly less risk of the outside charring before the centre is done. In outdoor or event catering settings where throughput matters, that consistency across a full service period makes a practical difference — both to the quality of the food and to the pace at which dishes come off the grill.
- More even cooking results across the full grill surface
- Reduced flare-up risk through better heat containment
- Faster cooking times for thicker items, supporting service pace
- Helps retain heat during brief holding periods between orders
- Roll-back mechanism keeps the lid clear when loading food
As an accessory, fitting is straightforward — no tools or additional connections are required. It is worth noting that this lid is designed exclusively for the MCB48 and will not fit other models in the MCB range. Confirming your unit's model designation before ordering is sensible.
This lid is well suited to operators running the MCB48 in pub gardens, hospitality venues, event catering, or any outdoor service environment where cooking consistency matters. If your output requirements are higher, it may be worth a conversation about whether a larger grill configuration would serve your operation better.
If you would like to talk through compatibility or whether this accessory fits how you currently work, the team is always happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — the RD48 is designed specifically for the MCB48 and will not fit other models in the Crown Verity MCB range. If you are unsure of your unit's exact model designation, it is worth checking before ordering to avoid compatibility issues.
- In practice, enclosing the grill surface tends to reduce cooking times for thicker items, as the ambient heat surrounds the food rather than acting only from below. This can be particularly useful during a busy service where you need predictable, consistent results across a full grill.
- Yes — the RD48 is well suited to event catering, hospitality venues, pub gardens, and similar outdoor environments where the MCB48 is already in use. If your volume demands are substantial, it may be worth discussing whether a higher-capacity grill configuration would be a better fit overall.
