The Parry 1888 is a mobile hot cupboard designed to hold plated meals at consistent serving temperatures throughout a busy service. It runs on a standard electrical supply, requires no fixed installation or water connection, and sits on lockable castors that allow it to be positioned precisely on the pass or moved between service areas as the operation demands. The flat top adds a useful staging surface alongside the primary holding function.
During a full service, a unit like this earns its place quickly. Plated meals can be held at temperature while waiting to go to the table, reducing the risk of food cooling between the kitchen and the guest. The thermostatically controlled interior maintains a steady temperature without constant attention, which matters when kitchen staff are managing multiple priorities at once. Three removable chrome wire shelves offer reasonable capacity for the unit's footprint, and their removable design keeps the interior straightforward to clean at the end of service.
From a practical standpoint, the key operational advantages are:
- Lockable castors allow flexible positioning and keep the unit stable once in place
- Thermostat control holds plates consistently throughout service without manual adjustment
- Flat top provides additional working surface for staging or final plating
- Removable wire shelves make end-of-service cleaning manageable
- No fixed installation required — plug in and position as needed
The unit requires no extraction and no specialist installation. It is worth noting that the castors are suited to flat, level surfaces — uneven flooring or raised thresholds may limit ease of movement around a site.
The 1888 suits restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and banqueting operations that need a reliable, flexible holding solution without the footprint of a larger fixed unit. It is a practical choice for services running up to around 40 covers per sitting. For operations running higher volumes or back-to-back sittings, a larger-capacity unit may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through how this model fits your service pattern or kitchen layout, the team is happy to help.
£1,261.00(£1,513.20 inc VAT)
The Parry HOT15P is a 1500mm wide electric hot cupboard with pass-through doors on both sides, designed for holding plates and plated meals at temperature throughout service. The pass-through configuration allows kitchen staff to load from one side while front-of-house staff draw from the other, keeping the two workflows distinct and reducing unnecessary cross-traffic at one of the most congested points of a busy service.
At this width, the unit is built to absorb sustained demand across extended service periods without requiring constant intervention. Thermostatic temperature control maintains consistent internal conditions even as plates are loaded in batches and drawn off at pace — a pattern typical in restaurant and banqueting environments where timing between courses puts real pressure on holding equipment. The mobile design, with four castors fitted as standard (two locking), means the unit can be repositioned to suit different service layouts without being permanently fixed in place.
A few practical features make day-to-day operation more manageable:
- Pass-through doors on both sides support a clear kitchen-to-service workflow
- Perforated internal shelves are supplied in sections for easy removal and cleaning
- Double-skinned doors are removable, allowing thorough end-of-service cleaning
- Two locking castors hold the unit securely once positioned
Being mains electric, there is no gas connection required, which simplifies placement. That said, at 1500mm wide this is a substantial piece of equipment and it is worth checking the access route from the delivery point to the intended location before it arrives — doorways, corridors and service lifts are all worth measuring.
This model is well suited to mid-to-large restaurants, hotel dining rooms, staff canteens, and banqueting operations where a consistent volume of plated meals needs to be held ready throughout service. Smaller operations may find a narrower unit from the same range more appropriate, while very high-volume contract catering sites may want to consider a heavier-duty alternative.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service layout or throughput requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£1,010.00(£1,212.00 inc VAT)
The Parry MSF9 is a mobile hot cupboard with a flat stainless steel top surface, designed to hold plated meals at safe serving temperatures throughout active service. Rather than a fixed installation, it runs on four heavy-duty castors — two of which lock — so it can be wheeled into position on the servery line, secured during service, and relocated as the operation requires. The flat top also provides useful staging space for plates or trays when counter room is limited.
In a working kitchen, the MSF9 manages holding temperature via a digital control that gives operators clear visibility of conditions throughout service. The ability to fine-tune holding temperature is particularly relevant on staggered or extended service periods, where food must stay safe without drying out or overcooking over time.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several features make this unit well suited to busy servery environments:
- Stainless steel construction with radius edges and corner bumpers to withstand the knocks of a working servery
- Removable doors make deep cleaning straightforward and support good hygiene practice
- Digital temperature display allows clear, at-a-glance monitoring throughout service
- Lockable castors allow the unit to be fixed firmly in position once placed
- Integrated plug park keeps cabling tidy and reduces trip hazards on the servery floor
Because it connects via a standard plug rather than requiring a fixed electrical installation, the MSF9 is particularly well suited to operations where layout flexibility matters — hotel banqueting, multi-room function catering, school dining halls, and staff restaurants where the servery configuration changes between services. Operators should confirm that floor surfaces are level and suitable for castor movement, and that a correctly rated socket is accessible at the intended position.
For sites running consistently high cover counts, or where greater holding capacity is needed through a single unit, a larger static hot cupboard may be worth considering alongside this model. The MSF9 is best understood as a flexible, mid-capacity solution rather than a high-throughput workhorse.
If you would like to talk through how this unit would sit within your existing setup or whether the capacity is right for your service volumes, the team is happy to help.
£1,752.00(£2,102.40 inc VAT)
The Parry HOT15BM is a 1500mm wide mobile hot cupboard with an integrated bain marie top, combining two functions that would otherwise require separate pieces of equipment at the pass. The cupboard section holds plates and plated meals at a consistent service temperature throughout the sitting, while the bain marie top keeps gastronorm pans of sauces, gravies, soups, and portioned dishes warm and ready to serve. Gastronorm pans are not supplied as standard.
In a working kitchen, having both hot holding and wet food holding in a single floor-standing unit makes a genuine difference to how a pass operates. The thermostatically regulated interior holds a stable temperature across extended service periods, which matters when you are running multiple covers or holding meals while a table is seated. The bain marie top accepts full-size gastronorm pans or combinations of smaller sizes, so pass staff can adjust quickly to the day's menu without reorganising the service counter.
The unit is well considered for the demands of regular kitchen use:
- Perforated internal shelves supplied in three sections per tier, making removal and cleaning straightforward
- Double-skinned, fully removable doors simplify cleaning at the end of service
- Four castors — two lockable — allow precise positioning at the pass and hold the unit firmly during service
Because the unit is mobile, there is no fixed installation required. It runs from a standard electrical connection with no gas supply needed. The bain marie top requires a water fill before each service. The 1500mm footprint is substantial, and it is worth measuring your pass or servery space carefully before ordering — this is particularly relevant in tighter kitchen layouts where every metre counts.
This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and banqueting operations that have an established pass position and a regular requirement for both plate warming and wet food holding at volume. Smaller operations with more modest throughput may find a narrower model a more proportionate fit for their needs. For very high-volume sites — large banqueting events or venues running several busy sittings back to back — it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity alternative would serve better in the long term.
If you would like to talk through how this unit would fit your service layout and volume before committing, the team is always glad to help you work through it.
£1,882.00(£2,258.40 inc VAT)
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.
£946.00(£1,135.20 inc VAT)
The Parry 1894 is a mobile hot servery combining a thermostatically controlled heated cupboard with an independently controlled bain marie section on top. It is designed to hold plated meals and wet dishes at correct serving temperatures while being moved from the kitchen to a separate service point — a dining room, function suite, buffet area, or temporary service location.
In practice, the unit performs well for operations running a defined service window where food needs to travel a short distance before it reaches the guest. The heated cupboard holds plated meals on removable chrome wire shelves, while the bain marie top accommodates gastronorm pans for sauces, soups, vegetables, or similar wet dishes. Having the two zones independently controlled means operators can manage dry and wet holding temperatures without compromising either.
The design is practical for a mobile unit, with several details that matter during real service:
- Independent temperature controls for the bain marie and cupboard allow flexible management of wet and dry dishes simultaneously
- Two lockable castors hold the unit securely in position once it reaches the service point
- Push bar makes manoeuvring through corridors and doorways straightforward
- Integrated plug park keeps the cable contained and off the floor during transit
- Removable wire shelves allow flexible plate and dish arrangement inside the cupboard
As a plug-in electric unit, the 1894 requires no fixed plumbing or gas supply, which simplifies installation considerably. The bain marie section does need to be filled with water before use, and adequate pre-heating time should be built into the service schedule. It is worth checking doorway widths and floor surfaces in your venue before purchasing — a loaded unit carries a reasonable amount of weight and needs a reasonably level, smooth floor surface to move safely.
This servery is well suited to hotels, care homes, schools, and event caterers that need to extend hot service beyond the kitchen without a fixed servery counter. It is not designed for continuous high-volume all-day holding; operations with heavier throughput requirements may find a larger-capacity static or mobile unit a better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether the 1894 suits your service pattern, venue layout, or existing equipment setup, the team is happy to help before you commit.
£662.00(£794.40 inc VAT)
The Parry 9214 is a freestanding, double door electric hot cupboard designed for commercial plate warming and dry heat holding. It maintains crockery at a consistent, thermostatically controlled temperature throughout service, removing the need to borrow oven space for warming or manage the consequences of cold plates reaching the pass.
In a busy service environment, plate temperature is a practical concern that affects food quality and the pace of the pass. Cold crockery draws heat from plated food within seconds, which adds pressure on front-of-house staff and can affect the customer experience across a long sitting. A dedicated hot cupboard holds a useful volume of plates at the correct temperature from the first cover to the last, giving kitchen teams one less variable to manage during peak periods. The Parry 9214 is built for the repetitive daily demands of commercial use and sits comfortably on the pass or in a back-of-house service area.
Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:
- Thermostatic control allows operators to set the correct holding temperature for their crockery and service style
- Double door configuration suits pass layouts where access from either side is useful during service
- Adjustable chrome wire shelves accommodate different plate sizes without wasted internal space
- Freestanding construction keeps positioning flexible and installation uncomplicated
- Electric operation removes the need for a gas connection, widening where the unit can be placed on site
Installation is straightforward for most sites. The unit is freestanding and requires only a suitable electrical supply. Before positioning on the pass or in a service area, it is worth confirming that the available supply is adequate and that there is sufficient clearance around the cabinet for ventilation and safe access during service.
The Parry 9214 is well suited to restaurants, pub kitchens, hotel operations, and catering environments running moderate cover volumes. It is a practical choice for sites that need a reliable, dedicated plate warming solution without a complex or costly installation. For higher-volume operations running multiple consecutive sittings, or kitchens with heavier throughput demands, a larger capacity unit may offer better performance across a full service.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your service volume or pass layout, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit.
£1,097.00(£1,316.40 inc VAT)
The Parry 1887 is a mobile hot servery combining a thermostatically controlled heated base cupboard with an independently controlled bain marie top. It is designed to hold plated meals and wet dishes at service-ready temperatures when the point of service is away from the main kitchen — a routine requirement in care homes, hotel banqueting, staff restaurants and institutional catering environments.
The independent temperature controls for the two sections are the most operationally significant aspect of this unit. The heated cabinet and bain marie can each be set to suit the food held within them, which matters when you are running plated meals alongside sauces, soups or accompaniments with different holding requirements. A single fixed temperature across both sections would either overcook wet dishes or under-hold plated food; separate controls remove that compromise and reduce the risk of food quality deterioration during extended service periods.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:
- Independent temperature control across cabinet and bain marie for mixed food holding
- Castor-mounted base with two locking wheels for stable positioning at the service point
- Push bar for straightforward manoeuvring through corridors and dining areas
- Two removable chrome wire shelves inside the cabinet for flexible meal arrangement
- Integrated plug park keeps the cable clear of the floor during transit
The unit runs from a standard 240V single-phase supply with no fixed electrical connection, water, or gas required, which makes it genuinely portable between service locations. The main practical consideration is ensuring a clear, level route between the kitchen and the service point — this is a substantial piece of equipment and is not suited to uneven surfaces or outdoor use.
This servery is well suited to operations holding up to around 30 plated meals per service. Care home dining rooms, smaller banqueting functions and compact staff restaurants are all typical applications. For sites with higher throughput, back-to-back multi-session holding, or larger bain marie capacity requirements, a heavier-duty model would be worth considering.
If you are working out whether this unit fits your service volumes or the layout between your kitchen and dining area, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£1,425.00(£1,710.00 inc VAT)
The Parry HOT18P is a full-width 1800mm electric hot cupboard built for sustained plate and meal holding in high-volume commercial kitchens. It operates as a pass-through unit with sliding doors on both sides, allowing kitchen and front-of-house staff to load and retrieve from either face independently. The flat-top surface serves as a useful pass or staging area throughout service, and the unit runs on castors — two of which lock — making it straightforward to reposition between services or move clear for deep cleaning.
In a busy service environment, consistent plate temperature is one of those details that guests notice when it goes wrong. The thermostatically controlled interior maintains an even temperature across the cabinet, supporting steady plate output through extended covers without the variation that can affect food quality on the pass. The 1800mm width means the HOT18P can accommodate a substantial number of plates or plated meals simultaneously, which makes it a practical choice wherever high covers are the norm rather than the occasional event.
The design reflects the working demands of a professional kitchen:
- Pass-through sliding doors on both sides allow simultaneous loading and retrieval
- Perforated internal shelves supplied in removable sections for straightforward cleaning
- Double-skinned doors are fully removable for thorough close-down cleaning
- Lockable castors provide stability during service and flexibility for repositioning
- Flat-top construction doubles as a pass or staging surface throughout service
The HOT18P requires a suitable electrical supply and, given the 1800mm footprint, it is worth confirming your floor space allocation and supply arrangement before ordering. Because it runs on castors it requires no fixed installation, but adequate clearance around the unit should be maintained during service. It is not suited to recessed or built-in configurations.
This model is well suited to restaurants, hotels, banqueting operations, and contract catering kitchens where large covers are served regularly and plate-warming capacity needs to keep pace with kitchen output. For lower-volume sites or tighter floor plans, a narrower unit in the same range may be a better fit. For sites with exceptionally sustained demand, a higher-capacity alternative may be worth considering.
If you are working through how this unit fits your service volumes or floor plan, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£1,186.00(£1,423.20 inc VAT)
The Parry HOT15 is a 1500mm wide freestanding electric hot cupboard designed to hold plates and plated meals at service temperature. Thermostatically controlled heat is distributed evenly throughout the cabinet, and two perforated internal shelves provide the capacity to hold a substantial volume of plates through a full service. Four castors are fitted as standard — two of which lock — so the unit can be moved between services and held securely in position during them.
At this width, the HOT15 is well placed for busy restaurant passes, hotel food and beverage operations, and banqueting or events kitchens where consistent plate holding over an extended service is a requirement. The sliding door configuration allows fast access without doors swinging out into adjacent pass space, which in tighter service environments makes a practical difference when the kitchen is running at pace.
For day-to-day kitchen use, the design offers several operational advantages:
- Removable sliding doors simplify cleaning at the end of service
- Three-section shelves lift out easily for washing
- Thermostat control allows temperature to be set to suit the menu
- Lockable castors hold the unit stable during service
- The flat top provides useful staging or plating space on the pass
Being electrically powered, connection is generally straightforward, but the unit will require a suitable dedicated circuit. It is worth confirming the electrical supply requirements with a qualified electrician before the unit is delivered. The 1500mm footprint is considerable, and pass width and available floor space should be assessed carefully beforehand. The castors work well on smooth, level flooring — uneven surfaces can affect how securely the unit locks down.
The HOT15 suits mid-to-large restaurants, hotel kitchens, banqueting operations, and function catering where high-volume plate holding across a full service is the core requirement. Lower-volume or smaller sites may find a narrower model a more practical fit. At the other end, operations running very high throughput over extended services may benefit from discussing whether a heavier-duty unit would serve them better long term.
If you are working out whether this width makes sense for your pass layout or service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through before you make a decision.
£2,267.00(£2,720.40 inc VAT)
The Parry MSB18 is a self-contained mobile servery that combines a wet bain marie top with a heated storage cupboard below. It holds prepared food at consistent serving temperatures without requiring a fixed installation, making it a practical choice for operations that need to move their service point between locations or set up in spaces without dedicated electrical infrastructure.
During busy service periods, the bain marie top accommodates multiple GN containers simultaneously, allowing kitchen teams to present a range of dishes from a single unit. The heated cupboard below adds useful capacity for plate warming or holding additional dishes in reserve, reducing the number of trips back to the main kitchen. A digital temperature display and adjustable thermostat give clear, reliable control throughout service — straightforward to manage even under pressure.
A few design details make day-to-day use noticeably more manageable in practice:
- Stainless steel construction throughout supports quick, thorough cleaning between services
- Removable doors and adjustable shelving reduce end-of-service turnaround time
- Radius edges and corner bumpers limit damage when navigating corridors or tight spaces
- Four heavy-duty castors, two lockable, keep the unit stable at the service point
- An integrated plug park keeps cabling managed safely when the unit is in transit
The MSB18 runs from two standard 13-amp sockets, removing the need for any electrical installation work. That said, it is worth confirming that accessible sockets are available at each intended service location before settling on a position. The unit is mobile, but loaded weight is meaningful — floor surfaces and internal access routes are worth checking in advance. GN pans are not included and will need to be sourced separately.
This servery suits contract caterers, education catering teams, hotels running buffet or banqueting operations, and event catering businesses that need a reliable, relocatable food holding solution. It is a mid-capacity unit; higher-volume sites running extended services with greater throughput demands may be better served by a larger alternative, and smaller operations should consider whether the capacity matches their actual output.
If you are comparing servery configurations or want to talk through how the MSB18 would work within your specific service setup, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.
£1,355.00(£1,626.00 inc VAT)
The Parry MSB9 is a self-contained mobile servery unit combining a bain marie top with a heated storage cupboard below. It is designed to hold hot food at consistent serving temperatures at the point of service, making it a practical choice wherever food needs to be kept ready away from the main kitchen — carvery counters, buffet lines, and banqueting setups being the most common applications. The bain marie top accepts GN containers for holding multiple dishes simultaneously, while the heated cupboard beneath provides additional capacity for plates or serving equipment.
In a working service environment the unit holds up well as a self-contained station. The heated cupboard maintains temperatures across a practical holding range, and a digital display allows front-of-house or kitchen staff to monitor and adjust settings clearly. Two locking castors keep the unit stable once it is positioned, while the remaining castors allow straightforward repositioning between services or events without lifting equipment.
Several design details reduce friction during daily use:
- Removable doors and adjustable shelving simplify end-of-service cleaning
- Stainless steel construction throughout supports hygiene compliance
- Radius edges and corner bumpers reduce injury risk and protect surrounding surfaces
- Onboard plug park keeps cabling tidy during repositioning
- Flexible GN and plate capacity suits varied service formats
The MSB9 is plug-in electric and requires no fixed gas, water, or drainage connections, which is one of its principal practical advantages. It can operate in a dining room, function suite, or servery area without permanent infrastructure. Because it is built around mobility, it is not intended for static counter installation — if a fixed unit is the requirement, a different product would be more appropriate. It is also worth confirming that floor surfaces are suitable for a loaded wheeled unit before settling on a position.
The MSB9 is well suited to hotels, care homes, education catering operations, sports and leisure facilities, and event caterers who need a hot servery that can be moved between locations or stored when not in use. It handles carvery and buffet services covering a moderate number of covers comfortably. For higher-volume operations, or where multiple GN rows need to be run simultaneously across an extended service period, a larger or multi-section unit would be worth considering.
If you are weighing up whether this unit suits your service format or venue layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
£1,410.00(£1,692.00 inc VAT)
The Parry HOT12BM is a 1200mm wide mobile hot cupboard with an integrated bain marie top. The cabinet is designed to hold plated meals at service temperature, while the bain marie section above takes gastronorm pans for heated food holding. The two functions are combined in a single unit, which suits operations that would otherwise need separate equipment to cover both requirements. Castors are fitted as standard, allowing the unit to be repositioned between prep, pass, and service areas without tools or dismantling. Gastronorm pans are not included.
During service, the thermostat-regulated cabinet maintains consistent heat across the full interior, which matters when doors are opened repeatedly throughout a busy sitting. Three perforated internal shelves support air circulation and are supplied in sections for easy removal. The double-skinned doors are also removable, which makes end-of-service cleaning more straightforward than it would be on a fixed unit.
The main operational advantages are:
- Mobile on four castors, two locking, so the unit stays in position during service
- Bain marie top accepts full-size and fractional gastronorm pans alongside plate holding below
- Removable shelves and doors reduce cleaning time at end of service
- Thermostat-controlled interior supports consistent holding without manual adjustment
- Slimline 1200mm footprint suits tighter pass and servery layouts
The unit runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply and requires a suitable socket at the intended service position. There is no fixed installation given the mobile design, though the locking castors should be engaged once the unit is placed. Reasonable clearance at the rear and sides is advisable to avoid heat build-up in confined spaces. The bain marie top requires filling with water before use, so proximity to a water source is worth considering when planning where the unit will be used.
The HOT12BM is well suited to restaurants, hotels, banqueting operations, and contract catering environments where a mobile hot holding solution with built-in bain marie capability is needed. It is particularly practical for buffet, carvery, and plated meal service where food assembly takes place away from the main kitchen. For higher-volume sites or operations requiring greater holding capacity, a wider or heavier-duty unit is likely to be the more appropriate choice.
If you are working out whether this unit fits your service style and workflow, the team is glad to talk it through with you before you commit.
£1,515.00(£1,818.00 inc VAT)
The Parry MSB12 is a self-contained mobile servery that combines a bain marie top with a heated storage cupboard beneath. It is designed for operations that need dependable hot food holding and service away from a fixed servery line — whether that is a function suite, school canteen, workplace dining area, or a temporary service point set up for events or overflow capacity. The unit runs from a standard electrical supply and moves on heavy-duty castors, so it can be repositioned between services or stored away when not needed.
In service, the heated cupboard maintains consistent holding temperatures across the range required for most hot-food menus, with digital temperature control so staff can monitor and adjust settings without ambiguity. The bain marie top accepts full 1/1 GN pans or a combination of fractional sizes, which accommodates a variety of menu configurations comfortably. The holding capacity is practical for a reasonable cover count per sitting, though for consistently high-volume service, a fixed or heavier-duty unit is likely to be a better long-term fit.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit is built with ease of use and hygiene compliance in mind:
- All-stainless construction with radius edges for straightforward cleaning
- Removable doors and adjustable internal shelves that lift out without tools
- Four heavy-duty castors, two locking, for stable positioning during service
- Corner bumpers to protect the unit and surrounding surfaces during movement
- Integrated plug park to keep trailing cables managed during use
The MSB12 requires only a standard electrical connection — no fixed plumbing or gas supply is needed. Before settling on a service layout, it is worth checking floor surfaces and doorway widths, particularly if the unit needs to pass through tight corridors. GN pans and any overhead gantry are not included; a compatible gantry is available separately if an overhead heat lamp or display shelf would be useful.
This unit is well suited to contract caterers, hospitality venues, schools, and workplace canteens where service flexibility matters. It works well as a standalone servery for smaller operations or as a supplementary unit alongside a fixed counter. For sites with permanent high-volume service, a fixed servery is likely to offer better value over time.
If you would like to talk through whether the MSB12 fits your service setup or how it would work alongside your existing equipment, the team is happy to work through the details with you.
£1,261.00(£1,513.20 inc VAT)
The Parry HOT18 is a full-width electric hot cupboard built for operations where consistent, large-scale plate holding is a routine part of service. At 1800mm wide with a two-shelf interior, it provides substantial holding capacity — making it a practical choice for busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, and banqueting operations that need to hold plates and plated meals at a stable temperature from the first cover to the last.
In a working kitchen environment, the HOT18 uses thermostatically controlled heat to maintain holding temperature reliably throughout a service without the need for last-minute reheating. The flat top surface provides useful additional staging or pass space, and the sliding door configuration is well suited to tighter pass arrangements where hinged doors would interrupt workflow or restrict movement around the kitchen.
Operationally, the unit is designed with busy service and end-of-day cleaning in mind:
- Three-section perforated shelves remove easily for thorough cleaning between services
- Double-skinned sliding doors are removable to allow full access to the interior
- Four castors — two locking — allow accurate positioning and a stable hold during service
- Flat top surface doubles as pass or staging space during a busy service period
Being mobile, the HOT18 can be repositioned to suit changing layouts, which is particularly useful in multi-purpose venues or event catering environments. That said, at 1800mm wide this is a substantial piece of equipment — it is worth checking doorway widths, access routes, and available pass space carefully before ordering. The unit runs on an electrical supply, so it is sensible to confirm local supply capacity with your electrician ahead of installation.
The HOT18 is best suited to high-volume operations consistently serving large numbers of covers. Restaurants, hotel banqueting, and contract catering kitchens are the most common applications. For smaller or more compact kitchens, a narrower unit would be a more proportionate fit. For exceptionally high-throughput or multi-shift environments, it is worth discussing whether a different configuration would better match the workload.
If you would like to talk through how the HOT18 fits your pass layout or service volume, the team is happy to help you work through it before you commit.

The Parry MSB15 is a self-contained mobile servery that combines a bain marie top with a heated storage cupboard beneath. The bain marie section holds up to four full GN 1/1 pans — or a mix of smaller pans — while the cupboard below provides additional capacity for plate holding or food storage during service. The whole unit is constructed in stainless steel with radius edges and corner bumpers, reflecting the practical realities of front-of-house use where contact with trolleys, carts, and general activity is a given.
This type of unit is well established in carveries, staff canteens, school dining rooms, and hotel buffet operations where hot food needs to be held and presented at the point of service across a full sitting. The bain marie top maintains consistent temperatures across the pan configuration, and the heated cupboard gives operators a useful buffer for keeping plates or secondary dishes ready without taking up space on the main line.
Several features translate directly into operational advantages during a busy service:
- Four heavy-duty castors, two of which lock, allow the unit to be positioned and held firmly on the servery line
- Removable doors and adjustable internal shelving make end-of-service cleaning considerably more straightforward
- Digital temperature display and variable control on the cupboard give staff clear visibility throughout service
- An integrated plug park keeps cabling tidy and reduces trip hazards in front-of-house areas
- Two standard 13-amp connections mean no hardwiring or specialist electrical installation is required
Because the MSB15 draws from two 13-amp supplies, the main practical requirement is access to two suitable sockets near the intended service position. No permanent installation is needed, though the unit should be used on a level, hard-wearing floor surface. Gastronorm pans are not supplied and should be ordered separately to match your menu configuration. An optional gantry is available where overhead heat lamps or a display hood are needed above the servery line.
The MSB15 is well suited to operations regularly serving in the region of 50 to 100 covers from a single servery point, and it works particularly well in spaces that need to flex — a room used for functions at some times and everyday dining at others. For higher-volume or permanently fixed servery environments, a larger or built-in alternative is worth considering.
If you're planning a servery line or want to confirm whether the MSB15 fits your specific operation, we're happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Parry HOT12P is a 1200mm wide electric hot cupboard designed for plate warming and plated meal holding at the service pass. The defining feature is its pass-through door arrangement — kitchen staff load from the back while front-of-house collects from the front, creating a clean separation between the two areas without the need for staff to cross over during service.
In practice, this type of unit proves its worth during sustained service periods. An internal thermostat maintains consistent holding temperatures across the cabinet interior, helping to keep plates and held meals at a stable temperature from the opening cover to the last. The flat top surface also provides a useful staging area at the pass when working space is tight.
Several design details are worth noting from an operational standpoint:
- Pass-through doors on both sides support a disciplined kitchen-to-service workflow
- Two perforated internal shelves, each in three removable sections for easy cleaning
- Double-skinned doors are removable, simplifying end-of-service clean-down
- Four castors fitted as standard, two lockable, allowing safe repositioning as layouts change
- Flat top offers a practical staging surface during busy service periods
Being mobile on castors makes the HOT12P a practical choice for operations where the pass configuration changes between services or event formats. It is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and function caterers running regular table service. For larger sites handling significantly higher volumes across multiple sittings, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity unit would better match throughput demands.
The unit requires a suitably rated electrical supply and adequate clearance for ventilation and safe access. If you are working out whether this model fits your pass layout or service volumes, the team is glad to talk it through with you.
£997.00(£1,196.40 inc VAT)
The Parry HOT12 is a 1200mm-wide mobile electric hot cupboard designed for commercial kitchens and serveries where consistent plate warming and meal holding are a regular part of service. A thermostatically controlled heating system maintains a steady internal temperature throughout service, and the sliding door configuration suits environments where space in front of the unit is limited — a practical consideration in tight pass areas and busy front-of-house layouts.
During a sustained lunch or dinner service, a hot cupboard earns its place by holding a meaningful volume of plates or plated meals without temperature drift. The HOT12 is sized for practical throughput in mid-sized operations, making it a reliable choice for restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and function venues running regular covers. The sliding doors are particularly useful in confined service areas where swing-out doors would obstruct movement during a busy pass.
Several practical design details reduce friction during and after service:
- Sliding doors reduce clearance requirements, useful in compact pass areas
- Two perforated internal shelves, each in three sections, allow flexible loading and straightforward cleaning
- Double-skinned removable doors make end-of-service cleaning more manageable
- Four castors, two of which lock, allow repositioning between services without a fixed installation
- Thermostat regulation holds consistent temperatures without constant manual adjustment
The unit runs on an electrical supply and requires no permanent placement thanks to its castors, though it should always stand on a level, stable surface. Your electrician should confirm the circuit requirements before connection. No gas or water supply is needed, which keeps the installation straightforward for most sites.
The HOT12 is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, hotel restaurants, and event venues with steady service volumes. For very high-volume banqueting operations, a larger or higher-capacity model may be worth considering. For smaller operations with more modest throughput, a narrower unit could be a more proportionate fit.
If you are working through whether the HOT12 suits your service volumes, layout, or existing pass arrangement, the team is happy to talk it through.
£1,150.00(£1,380.00 inc VAT)
The Parry MSF12 is a mobile hot cupboard with a flat top serving surface, intended for front-of-house use where food needs to be held at consistent temperatures between the kitchen and the pass. The heated interior keeps plated dishes and covers ready for collection, while the flat top doubles as a practical carving station or serving pass depending on the service format. Temperature is managed via a digital control, allowing operators to set the holding level appropriate to the food type in service.
In a regular service environment the MSF12 performs through straightforward reliability. The adjustable interior shelving gives practical capacity across multiple sittings or moderate cover numbers, where consistent holding directly supports service flow. It is not intended for continuous extended service in large banqueting operations running high volumes over long periods, but for restaurants, hotel dining rooms, school canteens, and workplace catering it handles a normal service shift without difficulty.
The design reflects practical day-to-day commercial use:
- Stainless steel construction with radius edges for straightforward cleaning between services
- Removable doors and adjustable shelves reduce downtime during changeovers
- Corner bumpers protect the unit and surrounding furniture when repositioning
- Four heavy-duty castors, two locking, allow secure placement wherever the service layout requires
- Onboard plug park keeps cabling tidy and reduces trip hazards in front-of-house areas
As a mobile unit, the MSF12 connects to a standard mains socket rather than requiring a fixed electrical installation, which gives genuine flexibility when service layouts change between events or sittings. It is worth confirming socket positions relative to your intended service point before ordering. If the unit is to be moved between spaces regularly, corridor width and door clearance are worth measuring in advance — tight dining rooms and narrow service passages can cause problems that are easy to overlook at the buying stage.
The MSF12 is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, school and workplace canteens, and hospitality or event catering where a self-contained hot holding station is needed without committing to fixed installation. For sites running significantly higher volumes or requiring sustained holding across a long uninterrupted service window, a higher-output unit would likely serve better.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your service volumes and layout before committing, the team is happy to help you work it out.
