The Polar C-Series single-door upright freezer is a stainless steel frozen storage cabinet built for moderate commercial use. It provides a practical volume of accessible frozen storage on adjustable shelving within a compact 600mm-square footprint — a sensible option for kitchens where reliable stock holding matters more than continuous high-frequency access throughout service.
In operation, the cabinet maintains a consistent frozen temperature and is rated for use in ambient conditions up to 32°C (Climate Class 4), which makes it dependable in warmer or poorly ventilated kitchen spaces where some units lose performance. The digital thermostat gives clear temperature management without unnecessary complexity. It is worth being straightforward about where this cabinet sits in the range: the C-Series is positioned for less demanding environments. Kitchens with heavy door traffic throughout a busy service — or those running large frozen stock volumes — may find a higher-specification cabinet better matched to their needs.
For the right operation, the cabinet offers several practical day-to-day advantages:
- Lockable door supports stock security in shared or multi-team kitchens
- Removable door seal makes routine hygiene cleaning quicker and more thorough
- Stainless steel exterior is durable and straightforward to wipe down between services
- Rear castors allow repositioning without a full unload
- R600a refrigerant contributes to a B energy rating, keeping day-to-day running costs in check
Installation requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance at the rear and sides to allow the condenser to work efficiently — check the installation guide for exact clearances before fitting. At 74kg, the unit needs at least two people to position safely. The 600mm width fits within a standard cabinet run, but confirm your available floor space before ordering.
This cabinet suits cafés, sandwich bars, small restaurants, and similar operations with moderate frozen storage needs and manageable door-access patterns. For sites with higher throughput, more frequent access, or greater frozen stock requirements, a higher-capacity or more heavy-duty alternative would be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen's storage demands, our team is glad to help before you make a decision.
£847.00(£1,016.40 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series is a single-door, freestanding upright freezer cabinet designed for frozen ingredient storage in professional kitchen environments. It offers a practical amount of usable space across a 2/1 GN double configuration, making it well suited to storing bulk frozen goods, portioned product, and prep-ready ingredients in a compact footprint.
The C-Series sits within Polar's entry-level commercial range, and it is worth understanding what that means operationally. This cabinet performs reliably where the freezer door is opened periodically throughout the day rather than constantly — a smaller restaurant, a café, a pub kitchen, or as overflow storage on a larger site. It operates in ambient conditions up to Climate Class 4, which makes it suitable for warmer kitchen environments. It is not, however, engineered for the relentless door cycling typical of a high-volume central production kitchen or a busy frozen section with multiple team members in and out across a long service. In those situations, a heavier-duty cabinet from a higher tier of the range would be a more appropriate choice.
Day-to-day operation is straightforward. A digital thermostat provides a constant temperature readout and allows for precise control throughout the operating range. The lockable door supports stock management and reduces unnecessary temperature loss, and the removable door seal makes both routine cleaning and eventual seal replacement practical rather than laborious — a detail that matters over years of use.
- Digital temperature display supports consistent food safety monitoring
- Lockable door aids stock control and limits temperature loss between services
- Removable door seal simplifies cleaning and long-term maintenance
- R600a refrigerant carries a lower environmental impact than older refrigerant types
- B energy rating helps manage running costs in lower-intensity applications
Installation is relatively straightforward. No water connection is required. At 95kg the cabinet will need careful handling on delivery, so plan for adequate access and appropriate lifting support. Allow sufficient clearance around the unit for ventilation, and confirm your available floor space against the footprint before ordering.
This cabinet is well suited to smaller or quieter operations — an independent café, a pub kitchen, a small restaurant, or as supplementary frozen storage on a larger site. It is not the right fit for a central production kitchen or any environment where frozen storage is under continuous, high-frequency demand.
If you are weighing this cabinet against other options, or are unsure whether the C-Series matches your service volume and kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you make a decision.
£605.00(£726.00 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series 365-litre upright freezer is a single-door frozen storage cabinet intended for commercial kitchens where consistent, dependable performance is the primary requirement. It stores frozen goods across a working temperature range that covers standard ingredient storage needs, and its straightforward digital controls make day-to-day temperature monitoring simple for kitchen staff at any level.
In practice, this cabinet performs well in environments where the door is opened periodically rather than repeatedly throughout a full service. It holds temperature reliably under normal conditions, and its climate class 4 rating means it will operate correctly in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 32°C — which covers the majority of back-of-house environments without issue. Operators in high-volume à la carte kitchens, where frozen storage is accessed constantly during service, should think carefully about whether a heavier-duty cabinet would better absorb that demand.
From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several practical advantages:
- 60mm insulation throughout supports stable internal temperatures and contributes to the B energy rating
- Digital controls allow quick, accurate temperature checks without specialist knowledge
- Lockable door supports HACCP compliance and limits unauthorised access to stock
- Six shelves provide well-organised storage across the full interior height
- Rear castors allow repositioning for cleaning without fully dismantling the unit's location
Installation requires only a standard 13-amp socket — no specialist electrical work, gas supply, or water connection is needed. The compact footprint suits smaller back-of-house areas, though adequate clearance at the rear and sides is necessary for ventilation and correct condenser performance. At 74kg, the unit will need at least two people to move safely into its final position.
This cabinet is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, staff canteens, and similar lower-volume operations where frozen storage is needed but high-frequency access during service is not the primary use case. For sites with greater throughput or more demanding service patterns, a higher-specification model is worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen before ordering, the team is glad to help.
£776.00(£931.20 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series 600-litre upright freezer is a single-door reach-in cabinet built for bulk frozen storage in commercial kitchen environments. It maintains a consistent frozen temperature range suitable for safe storage of raw proteins, prepared dishes, frozen par-baked goods, and desserts — covering the broad range of frozen produce that most professional kitchens hold at any one time.
In regular service, this cabinet performs reliably in kitchens where the door is opened repeatedly across prep and service periods. The interior is configured around a 2/1 GN format, which means standard gastronorm containers and trays sit directly in the unit without adapters or decanting. At 600 litres, it offers enough space to hold several days of frozen stock or support larger batch preparation cycles — meaningful capacity for a kitchen that needs to reduce delivery frequency or buffer against supply gaps.
The practical advantages for operators include:
- B energy rating helps keep running costs measured over time
- Climate Class 4 rating confirms suitability for warmer back-of-house environments
- 2/1 GN interior layout works directly with standard catering trays and containers
- White finish is easy to wipe down and suits both back-of-house and front-of-house positioning
- Two-year on-site parts and labour warranty reduces maintenance risk and unplanned downtime
At 94kg, this unit needs a level, stable floor surface and adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. It is freestanding and requires only a suitable mains electrical connection — though supply requirements should be confirmed before delivery is arranged. The footprint is reasonably compact for a cabinet of this capacity, but access through doorways and service corridors is worth checking before ordering.
This freezer is well suited to pubs, cafés, contract catering operations, and smaller restaurant kitchens where dependable bulk frozen storage is needed without the footprint of a multi-door configuration. For higher-volume sites running continuous cold-chain processes, a larger or multi-door unit may be more appropriate. Equally, where space is the primary constraint, a smaller-capacity model in the same range may be worth considering instead.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your storage volume or kitchen layout, our team is glad to help you work it out before you decide.
£367.00(£440.40 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series is a single-tank, countertop chilled drinks dispenser designed for self-service and assisted-service beverage stations in commercial hospitality settings. It keeps juices, cordials, and similar cold drinks at a consistent serving temperature throughout a service period, and the continuous paddle stirring system prevents separation in juice-based drinks while maintaining an even chill across the full tank — so guests at the end of the queue receive the same quality as those at the start.
In practice, that consistency is what makes this unit useful in a busy breakfast service or conference setting. Without active circulation, cold drinks can develop warm patches or visible separation fairly quickly, which affects both presentation and quality. The paddle system addresses that without requiring any intervention from front-of-house staff once the unit is set up.
From an operational standpoint, the dispenser is straightforward to run and clean:
- Removable polycarbonate bowl allows thorough end-of-day cleaning
- Stainless steel and polycarbonate construction handles daily commercial use reliably
- Compact footprint suits countertop positioning in tighter service areas
- Single-tank format keeps operation simple for front-of-house staff
Installation requires nothing beyond a standard 13A socket — there is no plumbing or fixed installation involved. At 19kg, it can be repositioned if your service layout changes between events or seasons. It should be placed on a stable, level surface with reasonable clearance at the rear for ventilation.
This unit suits hotels running breakfast service, cafés with a self-serve cold drinks offering, and event or conference venues where a reliable, consistent cold drinks station is needed. It is a single-tank dispenser, so operations serving several different drinks simultaneously, or sites with very high footfall, may find a multi-tank or larger-capacity format more appropriate.
If you would like to talk through whether this capacity is the right fit for your service volumes, we are glad to help before you commit to an order.
£611.00(£733.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series is a countertop chilled drinks dispenser with two independent 12-litre tanks. It is designed for self-serve and attended beverage service in commercial settings, keeping drinks chilled and consistently mixed throughout a service period. The paddle stirring system runs continuously, which reduces froth and oxidation — two issues that commonly affect juice presentation in busy environments. The tanks are polycarbonate with a stainless steel body, a combination that holds up reliably to the cleaning regime a commercial operation demands.
In day-to-day service, having two separate tanks is a more practical advantage than it might first appear. It allows operators to offer two different drinks simultaneously — fresh juice alongside a cordial, for example, or two distinct varieties — without needing a second unit on the counter. The paddle system means drinks stay visually clear and well-mixed without staff needing to intervene between refills, which matters during busy breakfast sittings or self-serve conference breaks when attention is elsewhere.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Continuous paddle stirring keeps drinks mixed and froth-free throughout service
- Two independent tanks allow two drink options from a single countertop unit
- Removable bowls make end-of-service cleaning manageable
- Stainless steel and polycarbonate construction is durable under daily commercial use
- R290 refrigerant keeps running costs modest relative to the cooling output delivered
The unit is mains electric and requires no specialist ventilation, so installation is straightforward. It sits on a standard countertop, though operators should confirm the surface can support the loaded weight and allow adequate depth. Most will find a fixed position more practical once water filling and drainage arrangements are factored in, even though the unit can be repositioned if needed.
This dispenser is well suited to hotels running breakfast service, cafés with a self-serve drinks station, staff canteens, and event or conference catering. The combined 24-litre capacity handles moderate service volumes comfortably. For larger sites running extended service periods or very high footfall, a higher-capacity unit may reduce refill frequency and better match demand.
If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume or counter arrangement, the team is glad to talk through the options with you.
£794.00(£952.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series double door counter fridge is a stainless steel undercounter refrigeration unit with an integrated granite worktop. It combines chilled storage across two sections with a working surface in a single footprint — a practical arrangement for kitchens where prep space and refrigerated access both need to be close to the service line.
In a busy kitchen environment, the dual-door layout earns its keep. Splitting the storage across two independently accessed doors means cold loss is reduced when only one section is in use — a small detail that makes a real difference during a prolonged service. The unit is rated to climate class 4, which means it holds its dairy-range temperature reliably in ambient conditions up to 32°C. That matters in kitchens where extraction keeps things moving but doesn't always keep things cool.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Granite worktop stays consistently cool — useful for pastry, pizza dough, and temperature-sensitive prep
- Dual-door configuration limits cold loss when only one side is being accessed
- Adjustable shelving accommodates full 1/1 GN trays and varying container depths
- Stainless steel construction handles daily cleaning and the wear of a working kitchen
- R600a refrigerant supports efficient running across extended service periods
Installation requires a standard single-phase mains connection. The unit needs adequate rear clearance for ventilation, and at 97kg it will need two people to move and position safely. It fits neatly into most standard counter runs, though it is worth checking counter depth against your existing layout before ordering — particularly in tighter kitchens.
This unit is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, pizza operations, and bakery environments where a cool prep surface alongside accessible chilled storage saves both space and steps. For higher-volume sites with multiple prep stations or greater capacity requirements, a larger or multi-section unit is likely the better fit.
If you are working out whether this suits your layout and service demands, the team is glad to help you think it through.
£916.00(£1,099.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series three-door counter fridge is a refrigerated preparation counter designed to keep chilled ingredients within arm's reach of the section. It holds a consistent 2°C to 5°C, making it appropriate for dairy, prepped components, and any ingredient that needs to stay within safe temperature margins throughout a busy service. The granite worktop is a practical rather than cosmetic feature — it holds a naturally cool surface temperature, which makes it particularly useful for pastry work, dough handling, and cold prep tasks where surface temperature has a direct effect on the product.
The three-door layout allows different team members to access different sections simultaneously without exposing the full interior to ambient air, which helps maintain temperature stability during periods of heavy use. The unit is rated to climate class 4, meaning it operates reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — relevant in kitchens that run hot or have limited ventilation at prep level. The stainless steel construction throughout supports cleaning to commercial hygiene standards without difficulty.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:
- Three independently accessed sections allow simultaneous multi-user access without cold loss across the whole unit
- Granite worktop provides a naturally cool prep surface, saving space elsewhere in the section
- Adjustable interior shelving accommodates different container sizes and GN configurations
- Digital temperature control allows straightforward monitoring and adjustment during service
- R600a refrigerant and a C energy rating keep running costs in line with expectations for a unit of this capacity
At 145kg, this unit should be positioned before final connection — access routes and floor loading are worth confirming at the planning stage. Standard single-phase power is required, and the rear of the unit needs adequate clearance for ventilation. The footprint is substantial, so measure the intended section carefully before ordering.
This counter is commonly used in restaurant kitchens, pizza and pasta sections, café kitchens, and anywhere that needs a high volume of chilled ingredients at the point of preparation. The granite top is especially practical in pizza and pastry operations. For very high-throughput sites or larger brigades working a single section, it is worth considering whether a greater-capacity counter or additional undercounter units would serve the operation better.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your section layout or service volume, the team is glad to help before you place an order.
£1,699.00(£2,038.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series Six Drawer Counter Fridge is an undercounter refrigeration unit designed to keep chilled ingredients directly accessible at the point of preparation. Six full 1/1GN-compatible drawers sit beneath a standard worktop, giving kitchen teams organised, high-capacity cold storage without leaving the preparation area.
During service, drawer-access refrigeration earns its place on the line. Retrieving ingredients from a drawer is faster and less disruptive than opening a large cabinet door, and the fan-assisted cooling system is better placed than passive-cooled units to maintain a consistent temperature despite repeated openings. The unit carries a Climate Class 4 rating, confirming it is designed to operate correctly in ambient conditions up to 32°C — a consideration worth checking against your kitchen environment, particularly in warmer, enclosed spaces where cheaper undercounter units can struggle to hold temperature during busy periods.
In operational terms, this unit offers several practical advantages for a working kitchen:
- Drawer access keeps ingredients within reach and reduces unnecessary movement during service
- Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across all six drawers
- Digital temperature control allows consistent, precise management of stored produce
- Stainless steel construction throughout stands up to daily cleaning routines and the wear of a commercial environment
- Climate Class 4 rating supports reliable performance in warmer kitchen conditions
Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit is freestanding and requires a standard electrical connection. At 140kg it is a substantial piece of kit, and adequate manpower or moving equipment will be needed to position it correctly. It is worth confirming the 1370mm width fits your available counter run before ordering, particularly in fitted or refurbished kitchen layouts where space is already allocated.
This unit is well suited to mid-sized restaurant, hotel, and pub kitchens where prep stations benefit from dedicated chilled storage at the line. Smaller operations with limited counter runs may find a two- or four-drawer configuration more proportionate to their needs. For very high-volume sites running continuous double shifts, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty model would better match the throughput demands before committing.
If you are weighing up whether this configuration suits your kitchen layout or service style, our team is glad to talk it through with you.
£605.00(£726.00 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series Slimline Upright Back Bar Cooler is a single-door, freestanding bottle refrigerator designed to sit behind the bar and keep bottled and canned drinks at a consistent, ready-to-serve temperature throughout service. Its notably narrow width makes it a practical option in bar runs where a standard-footprint unit simply would not fit, without asking operators to accept a serious reduction in usable storage.
In practice, the fan-assisted cooling system does the work that matters most in a busy bar environment — maintaining stable temperatures across repeated door openings during a full evening service. The unit is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, which covers the majority of UK licensed premises including those with limited ventilation behind the bar. Double-glazed glass doors support thermal retention over the course of a long service week, which keeps running costs reasonable for a unit that is likely to be in near-continuous use.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G-Series is straightforward to run:
- LED internal lighting makes stock immediately visible to bar staff without opening the door
- Simple dial controls minimise training time and reduce the risk of accidental temperature adjustment
- Fan-assisted cooling maintains consistent temperatures during high-frequency door openings
- Painted steel and glass construction holds up well under the demands of daily commercial use
- The slimline profile integrates into bar runs where space is genuinely limited
Installation requires only a standard UK mains connection, and the unit is freestanding so no fixed plumbing or specialist fitting is needed. At 71kg, it is worth confirming the floor surface can take the load, and that there is adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — particularly in enclosed bar units where airflow can be restricted. The unit runs on R600a refrigerant, which is standard at this class.
This cooler is well suited to pubs, hotel bars, licensed cafés, and similar venues where chilled drinks are central to the offer but back-bar space is at a premium. It performs reliably in moderate to high-throughput settings. For very high-volume venues with heavy stock rotation, a larger-capacity model from the range may be worth considering; equally, quieter operations with lower turnover may find a smaller unit more cost-effective to run.
If you are working through a bar refit or are not certain this model is the right fit for your layout and service pattern, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you make a decision.
£779.00(£934.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series top-loading bottle cooler is a chest-style refrigerated unit designed to hold a substantial volume of bottled drinks at a consistent serve-ready temperature. Unlike front-opening bottle fridges, it uses a sliding lid on top, which significantly reduces cold air loss each time staff reach in — a genuine operational advantage in a bar environment where the unit may be accessed dozens of times per hour throughout a shift.
In a working bar, the value of this type of unit lies in its ability to hold a large buffer of chilled stock directly at the point of service, reducing the frequency of restocking runs from a back-of-house cold room or walk-in. The unit maintains temperature reliably across a range of ambient conditions, and its climate class 4 rating confirms it is suited to warmer or less controlled environments — outdoor bars, festival and event setups, marquees, and similar venues where ambient temperatures can fluctuate.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:
- Sliding lid limits cold air loss during repeated access across a busy shift
- Bottle opener with lid catcher fitted as standard, supporting faster counter service
- Painted steel exterior is straightforward to wipe down between and after service
- R600a refrigerant supports an efficient running profile, reflected in the B energy rating
- Footprint is compact relative to capacity, suiting tighter bar counter layouts
Installation is uncomplicated — the unit runs from a standard single-phase supply and needs adequate clearance around the condenser to ventilate properly. In older premises, it is worth confirming that the floor can comfortably take the loaded weight. At 935mm wide, the unit fits neatly into most bar counter runs, but measure the intended position carefully before committing, particularly if it is going into a recess or against a fixed counter end.
This cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, sports venues, event caterers, and festival operators where chilled bottled drinks make up a significant part of service volume. It is less suited to operations that need to rapidly bring large quantities of ambient-temperature bottles down to serving temperature during a shift — for those environments, a higher-capacity model with a more powerful refrigeration circuit is worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your bar layout or anticipated service volumes, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.
£946.00(£1,135.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series top-loading bottle cooler is a chest-style refrigerated unit built for high-volume bottled drink service. Its wide 1255mm footprint and 417-litre capacity make it a practical choice where large quantities of bottled beverages need to stay cold and accessible throughout a shift. The sliding lid allows staff to reach stock quickly without causing significant temperature loss inside the cabinet, and a built-in bottle opener with lid catcher is included as standard — a small detail that makes a real difference during a busy service.
In practice, this type of unit is most commonly found in bars, pub gardens, beer festivals, and outdoor event operations where repeat access to cold bottles is constant and restocking mid-service is disruptive. The sealed chest format holds temperature well even with frequent lid openings, and the R600a refrigerant system is well suited to sustained operation over long shifts. The climate class 4 rating is worth noting — it means the unit can operate reliably in warmer ambient conditions, which is an important consideration for venues using coolers outdoors or in areas with limited ventilation.
Practical advantages for bar and event operators include:
- Large 417-litre capacity reduces how often staff need to restock during service
- Top-loading access allows quick selection without disturbing adjacent bottles
- Integrated bottle opener and lid catcher keeps the service area tidy
- Climate class 4 rating supports use in warm, outdoor, or poorly ventilated spaces
- Painted steel exterior is straightforward to wipe down between shifts
Installation is uncomplicated — the unit runs on a standard 13A mains connection and requires no specialist ventilation or drainage. It should be positioned on a level, stable surface, and airflow clearance at the rear should be factored into placement. At 67kg it can be moved and positioned without specialist equipment, though two people are advisable. This unit is designed solely for bottled beverages and is not suitable for food storage.
This cooler is well suited to bars, pub gardens, festival operators, and event caterers running moderate to high bottled drink volumes. Sites with particularly high throughput or multiple service points may benefit from an additional unit or a higher-capacity alternative. For lower-volume requirements, a narrower or smaller-capacity model is likely to be a better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your setup before ordering, our team is glad to help.
£1,008.00(£1,209.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 600-litre upright freezer is a full-height, double stable door cabinet built for continuous use in professional kitchen environments. It accepts 2/1 GN containers throughout, which means food can move directly between this unit and compatible preparation or storage equipment without the need to repack or transfer into smaller trays — a practical advantage in operations where GN compatibility across the kitchen is a priority.
In service, the cabinet is designed around reliability rather than complexity. An automatic temperature controller maintains consistent internal conditions without manual intervention, and a digital display gives kitchen staff a clear, immediate reading at a glance. The stable door configuration is worth noting as an operational benefit in its own right: the lower section can remain closed while the upper is opened, which limits warm air ingress during frequent access and supports faster temperature recovery during a busy service. The unit is rated for ambient environments up to 32°C (Climate Class 4), making it suitable for kitchens that run warm.
The main operational advantages include:
- Full 2/1 GN compatibility throughout, reducing handling and transfer time during service
- Stable door design limits temperature loss during high-frequency access
- R290 refrigerant supports efficient running and meets current environmental regulations
- Stainless steel interior and exterior stand up to daily cleaning regimes
- Heavy-duty castors allow repositioning for cleaning or maintenance without difficulty
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this size and runs on a standard electrical supply with no specialist services required. At 135kg, adequate manual handling resource will be needed on delivery and during positioning. Because the unit uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, positioning in a well-ventilated space is advisable. Allow clearance at the rear and sides for condenser airflow, and confirm door swing clearance before the unit is placed — the 680mm-wide footprint suits most standard kitchen layouts, but it is worth checking in tighter spaces.
This freezer is well suited to mid-sized catering operations — restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering sites, and similar environments where a single high-capacity freezer cabinet is needed and GN continuity with other equipment matters. For smaller operations with lower throughput, a more compact model may be a better fit. For high-volume sites requiring multiple freezer sections or integration with blast-freeze cycles, a heavier-duty option from the range is worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen layout and service volumes, the team is happy to help before you make a decision.
£1,411.00(£1,693.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 1200Ltr gastro refrigerator is a large-format upright reach-in cabinet designed to meet the cold storage demands of a full commercial service operation. Four stable doors provide access to the interior in pairs, and the cabinet accommodates up to twenty 2/1 gastronorm trays, making it a practical choice for kitchens where tray movement between cold storage, preparation, and cooking equipment is a regular part of service.
In practice, the fan-assisted cooling system maintains consistent temperatures even during the repeated door openings that are unavoidable in a busy kitchen. The climate class 4 rating means the unit is designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — a meaningful consideration for kitchens that run warm or lack adequate air conditioning. Recovery after access is steady rather than laboured, which matters during extended service periods when the cabinet may be opened frequently across multiple sections.
The operational advantages of this cabinet centre on workflow and temperature discipline:
- Stable door configuration limits temperature loss by exposing only half the cabinet at a time
- Direct 2/1 GN tray compatibility removes the need to decant between stations
- Four independently lockable doors support controlled access in shared kitchen environments
- Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across all shelf levels
- Heavy-duty castors allow repositioning for thorough cleaning underneath and behind
This is a substantial unit that requires careful planning before installation. The 180kg weight warrants a check on floor loading, particularly in older or refurbished premises. Rear ventilation clearance is required, and the drain arrangement should be confirmed ahead of delivery. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply, but it is worth verifying the connection point is suitably located before scheduling installation.
This cabinet is best suited to mid-to-large operations — hotel kitchens, contract catering facilities, pub and restaurant kitchens with high covers, or central cold stores shared across multiple sections. Where only a single section requires dedicated cold storage, a two-door unit from the same range may be more proportionate. For very high-volume sites or multi-temperature requirements, it is worth a conversation about whether a different configuration would serve the workflow better.

The Polar G-Series 1200Ltr is a large-format upright reach-in freezer built to hold and provide fast access to significant quantities of frozen stock in busy commercial kitchen environments. It accommodates up to 20 double-size 2/1 gastronorm trays at 100mm depth, allowing direct tray transfers between freezer and cooking equipment without decanting — a straightforward efficiency gain in kitchens already working with 2/1 GN across their kit.
The stable door configuration — where the upper and lower door sections operate independently on each side — makes a genuine operational difference during service. Rather than exposing the full internal height every time a tray is retrieved, only the relevant section opens. This limits cold air loss per access, helps the unit hold a consistent temperature under repeated use, and contributes to lower running costs across a full service day. The Climate Class 4 rating confirms the unit is designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, which is a relevant consideration in kitchens that run warm or lack a dedicated refrigeration room.
Key practical characteristics of this freezer include:
- Stable door design reduces cold air loss during frequent access throughout service
- Full 2/1 GN tray compatibility for direct transfer between storage and cooking equipment
- Stainless steel construction throughout — durable and straightforward to keep clean
- R290 refrigerant, which carries a low global warming potential
- Climate Class 4 rating for reliable use in warm kitchen environments
At 180kg and with a wide footprint, this is a substantial unit. Floor loading capacity, clear delivery access, and adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet should all be confirmed before ordering. A dedicated electrical supply should be verified with a qualified electrician prior to installation. The holding range of -20°C to -10°C covers general frozen food storage well, but this unit is not intended for specialist ultra-low temperature applications.
This freezer suits operations with high frozen stock turnover and frequent tray movement — hotel kitchens, large pub operations, contract and event catering, and busy independent restaurants working at volume. For smaller kitchens or lower-throughput sites, a single-door or reduced-capacity model is likely a better fit. For sites specifying multiple units or planning a larger refrigeration layout, it is worth discussing configuration and load requirements before committing.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right match for your kitchen's workflow and space, we are happy to help before you make a decision.

The Polar G-Series is a full-height, single-door glass-front chiller designed for commercial food service and retail environments. It maintains a consistent chill throughout its interior and is built to hold temperature reliably in the ambient conditions found in working kitchens and serveries — including warmer environments where the mercury can rise during a busy service period.
In day-to-day operation, the G-Series handles continuous access without difficulty. The interior accepts 2/1 GN trays, which means preparation teams can load directly from the cold room using standard gastronorm pans rather than decanting into smaller containers — a practical time-saver during a busy prep shift. The adjustable shelving accommodates different stock arrangements, and where bulk cold storage takes priority over display, shelves can be removed to accept larger GN pans across the full interior height.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:
- Lockable castors allow repositioning or cleaning access without specialist assistance
- Digital temperature controls are straightforward for any member of the team to monitor
- Stainless steel construction supports hygienic cleaning regimes and resists the daily wear of commercial use
- The R600a refrigerant supports a B energy rating, helping to manage running costs across extended daily operation
- Climate class 4 rating confirms reliable performance in warmer kitchen and servery environments
At 135kg, this is not a unit to position into a tight corner without some forethought. Adequate clearance is needed for ventilation and full door swing, and it is worth confirming your available floor space and airflow arrangement before installation — particularly in kitchens where space is restricted. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply. The lockable castors assist with repositioning once in place, though the weight means it is sensible to plan delivery access in advance.
This model is well suited to farm shops, convenience stores, hotel serveries, staff restaurants, and similar operations that need reliable chilled display or accessible cold storage without a walk-in facility. It works equally well as a front-of-house display unit or a back-of-house prep fridge. For higher-volume operations or sites requiring multi-door capacity, a larger-format alternative would be worth considering. Where floor space is tight, a smaller-capacity model may be the more practical choice.
If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you make a decision.
£1,411.00(£1,693.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 1200Ltr is a large-format upright display refrigerator built for commercial use. It holds up to twenty 2/1 GN trays at 100mm depth, making it directly compatible with standard gastronorm prep workflows without the need for adapters or workarounds. Double-glazed doors give staff a clear view of the cabinet contents, and a digital controller allows temperature to be monitored and adjusted throughout the day. The stainless steel exterior is practical in working kitchen conditions where surfaces take regular wear and cleaning.
Fan-assisted cooling distributes chilled air evenly across the cabinet, which helps maintain consistent temperatures across all shelf levels rather than concentrating cold air at the base. The unit carries a climate class 4 rating, meaning it is designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — relevant in kitchen environments where heat builds during service. As with any large double-door cabinet, keeping unnecessary door openings to a minimum during peak periods is sensible practice and will support temperature stability and recovery.
Operationally, this cabinet offers several practical advantages:
- Glass doors allow staff to locate items at a glance, reducing open-door time during service
- Full 2/1 GN compatibility means standard gastronorm trays load directly, simplifying batch prep and storage
- Digital temperature control gives a clear, reliable read on cabinet conditions at all times
- Stainless steel construction withstands the cleaning routines and surface demands of a working kitchen
- R290 refrigerant carries a low global warming potential, supporting environmental compliance requirements
At 180kg and 1340mm wide, this is a substantial unit that requires careful placement planning. The floor must be firm and level, and access routes to the installation point need to accommodate the cabinet's full footprint and height. Adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser is important — restricted airflow will affect both performance and the longevity of the refrigeration system. The unit operates on a single-phase supply; it is worth confirming available circuit capacity before installation, particularly where the location already carries a significant electrical load.
This cabinet is well suited to central production kitchens, hotel back-of-house, large restaurant prep areas, and food retail environments such as delis, farm shops, or larger cafés where high-volume chilled storage needs to sit alongside product visibility. Its 2/1 GN format makes it a natural fit for operations already working to gastronorm standards. Sites with more modest storage needs may find a single-door alternative more appropriate, while very high-throughput operations running multiple cold sections should consider whether a remote-refrigeration unit or walk-in solution would better meet the demand.
If you'd like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your space, volume, or workflow before making a decision, we're happy to help.
£988.00(£1,185.60 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series Double Door Chef Base Counter Fridge is a low-profile refrigerated unit built to sit directly beneath heavy cooking equipment — griddles, chargrills, fryers, and similar — whilst providing chilled ingredient storage at the point of use. The reinforced worktop surface is load-bearing by design, making it a practical solution in kitchens where space is tight and keeping ingredients close to the cooking line genuinely affects the pace and consistency of service.
In a working hot section, the forced air cooling system earns its keep. Cold air circulates evenly throughout the cabinet, which helps the unit recover temperature quickly after repeated door openings — the sort of constant access that happens throughout a busy service. Climate Class 5 approval means it is rated to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which covers the conditions found in most commercial kitchen hot sections, including those with limited ventilation.
Day-to-day, the chef base format offers some clear operational advantages:
- Ingredients sit within arm's reach of the cooking line, reducing movement during service
- Reinforced construction carries the weight of heavy cooking equipment on top
- Even air distribution prevents cold spots and temperature variation across the cabinet
- Stainless steel interior and exterior cleans down quickly at end of service
- R600a refrigerant keeps running costs and environmental impact relatively low
At 82kg, the unit needs to be positioned before the kitchen layout is finalised — manoeuvring it once cooking equipment is in place is not straightforward. A standard mains electrical connection is required, and clearance should be maintained at the rear and sides to allow adequate ventilation. It is not suitable for outdoor installation or enclosed, unventilated spaces.
This model is a practical fit for independent restaurants, café kitchens, and catering operations running a single cooking station that needs its own dedicated cold storage. Sites with multiple high-output cooking sections may find one unit insufficient; in those cases, additional chef bases or supplementary reach-in refrigeration is worth considering.
If you want to talk through how this unit would work within your specific kitchen setup, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.
£1,170.00(£1,404.00 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series Triple Door Chef Base is a refrigerated undercounter unit designed to sit beneath heavy countertop cooking appliances — plancha griddles, fryers, pasta cookers and similar — while keeping ingredients chilled directly at the point of use. The substantial stainless steel worktop is built to carry that kind of loading, and the three-door configuration allows access to separate zones without opening the entire cabinet at once.
In a busy service environment, the distance between cold storage and the cooking line has a direct effect on pace and consistency. Chef bases exist to eliminate that gap. The forced air refrigeration system maintains an even temperature across the full interior, including during periods of frequent door opening — which is the norm on a working cook line. The unit is rated for ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it genuinely appropriate for hot kitchen conditions where standard refrigeration often struggles to hold temperature reliably.
From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:
- Three separate door sections allow zoned access without exposing the full cabinet interior
- Forced air circulation maintains consistent temperatures even during heavy service periods
- Wide, load-bearing worktop accommodates heavy countertop cooking appliances safely
- Stainless steel throughout — straightforward to clean down during and after service
- Climate Class 5 rating confirms suitability for high-ambient commercial kitchens
Installation is relatively straightforward. The unit is self-contained with no water connection required and runs on a single-phase supply. At 106kg it will need at least two people to position safely, and the 1795mm width means doorway clearance and aisle access should be checked ahead of delivery. As with any forced air refrigeration unit, airflow around the condenser must not be restricted — avoid positioning flush against walls on all sides.
This model is well suited to mid-sized restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering sites where a chef base section forms part of a structured cooking line. It works best where service is set up in advance and ingredients are staged close to the heat source. For smaller operations or kitchens with limited floor space, a single or double door chef base may be a more proportionate fit. For very high-volume sites with exceptionally heavy equipment on top, it is worth a conversation about whether a more heavy-duty specification would be the better choice.
If you are configuring a new cook line or replacing an existing chef base, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before anything is ordered.
£1,323.00(£1,587.60 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series four-door chef base is a low-profile refrigerated counter designed to sit directly beneath heavy cooking equipment — griddles, chargrills, hotplates — while keeping chilled ingredients immediately accessible at the point of preparation. Its reduced height allows it to slot into the cooking line without interrupting the worksurface above, which makes it a practical alternative to separate undercounter units where bench space and workflow continuity both matter.
Chef bases earn their keep or fail in the harshest part of a commercial kitchen, and the U-Series is built with that environment in mind. The forced air cooling system carries a climate class 5 rating, which means it is engineered to maintain stable operating temperatures in ambient conditions up to 43°C — a realistic figure on a busy cooking line. Recovery after repeated door openings during a long service is consistent, and the temperature range of -2°C to 8°C gives operators the flexibility to hold a broad variety of chilled ingredients safely without adjusting the unit between different services.
Day-to-day, the four-door layout delivers a clear operational advantage:
- Each door section provides independent access, limiting warm air ingress to only the area being used
- Full 1/1 GN compatibility throughout simplifies loading and stock rotation during prep
- Stainless steel construction throughout is robust under heavy daily use and straightforward to clean during and after service
- R600a refrigerant supports reasonably efficient running costs relative to older refrigerant types
- The integrated footprint removes the need for a separate undercounter unit, freeing floor and wall space on the line
At 130kg and 2,230mm wide, this is a substantial unit and requires careful planning before installation. The floor must be level and capable of bearing the load. Ventilation clearances should be confirmed before positioning, and cable routing for the electrical supply needs to be factored in at fit-out stage. Once placed, this unit is not easily moved, so getting the position right from the outset matters. It is worth checking that the unit's depth and height are compatible with the cooking equipment intended to sit above it before ordering.
This chef base is well suited to high-volume operations — busy restaurant kitchens, hotel banqueting lines, contract catering sites — where the cooking section runs continuously across a long service and having chilled stock immediately to hand is operationally important. The four-door configuration suits kitchens where different sections of the line operate independently and need their own access to refrigerated storage without disrupting colleagues. For smaller or quieter operations, a two-door or single-door chef base may be a more proportionate fit. Conversely, very high-volume sites with extended cold storage demands may find a larger-format or heavier-duty unit better matched to their throughput.
If you are fitting out a new line or reviewing your undercounter refrigeration layout, it is worth a conversation before committing to a configuration — the right setup depends on your service pattern, the equipment going above the unit, and the physical constraints of the space.
£1,714.00(£2,056.80 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series six-drawer chef base is an under-counter refrigeration unit built to sit directly beneath heavy countertop appliances — grills, induction hobs, or similar cooking equipment — while holding a full complement of prepped ingredients at safe operating temperatures within arm's reach of the cook. It uses a forced air cooling system with digital temperature control, and carries a climate class 5 rating, meaning it is designed to maintain performance in ambient conditions up to 43°C. That distinction matters in busy, poorly ventilated kitchen environments where standard refrigeration can struggle to cope with the combined heat load of a working line.
The real test of any chef base during service is how well it holds temperature under repeated drawer access, high ambient heat, and the additional load from equipment sitting on top. The forced air system helps the unit recover quickly after each opening, reducing the risk of temperature creep across a long service period. Each drawer accepts a full 1/1 GN pan, giving the section chef direct, organised access to mise en place without interrupting workflow at the pass.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages:
- Consistent cooling maintained in hot kitchen environments up to 43°C ambient
- Six full 1/1 GN drawers for organised, rapid ingredient access during service
- Low-profile design allows countertop cooking equipment to sit directly on top
- Digital temperature control supports accurate monitoring without guesswork
- Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning
At 136kg, floor loading and final positioning should be considered before delivery. The unit requires a standard electrical connection and adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — the forced air system depends on sufficient airflow to operate efficiently, particularly when ambient temperatures are high. It is not suited to outdoor installation or unventilated enclosures. The 1795mm width occupies a substantial run of kitchen line, so confirming the footprint against your existing layout before ordering is worthwhile.
This unit is well suited to high-volume operations — busy restaurant sections, hotel kitchens, and event catering setups — where large quantities of prepped ingredients need to be held close to the cooking line throughout service. It is particularly useful where countertop space is at a premium and consolidating cooking equipment above refrigeration helps tighten the work area. For smaller or lower-throughput kitchens, a two- or four-drawer configuration may be a more proportionate choice. For larger central production kitchens with greater capacity requirements, heavier-duty options are available within the range.
If you'd like to talk through whether this unit suits your kitchen layout and service volume, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.
£1,310.00(£1,572.00 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series Double Drawer Counter is an under-counter refrigeration unit with two independently controlled drawers, each capable of operating as a fridge, a freezer, or one of each simultaneously. Built in stainless steel and rated to climate class 5, it is engineered to hold stable temperatures in hot kitchen environments where ambient temperatures can climb to 43°C — a condition that disqualifies many lighter-duty units from safe use on the cookline.
Both drawers use forced-air cooling, which means temperature recovery after frequent access remains consistent throughout a busy service. Each drawer accepts two full-size 1/1 GN pans, giving four pan positions in total. Because each drawer is controlled independently, the configuration can be adjusted to match whatever the service demands — split fridge-freezer for a standard prep station, both drawers chilled for a pastry section, or both frozen during high-volume prep shifts. That adaptability is genuinely useful in kitchens where storage requirements shift between services or as menus change seasonally.
Practically speaking, the unit offers a number of operational advantages:
- Independent temperature zones on each drawer, adjustable without affecting the other
- Full 1/1 GN compatibility across all four pan positions, aligning with standard cookline organisation
- Forced-air cooling maintains consistent temperatures during high-frequency drawer access
- Castors fitted as standard, supporting cleaning routines and repositioning on the floor
- Stainless steel throughout, standing up to daily cleaning without surface deterioration
At 113kg, this unit requires careful planning before installation. Castors give practical manoeuvrability on a level surface, but access routes, doorway widths, and floor thresholds should all be confirmed in advance. No specialist drainage connection is required under normal operation, though the electrical supply should be verified as suitable before the unit goes in. The R290 refrigerant charge is modest, and the unit carries a climate class 5 rating, making it appropriate for kitchens that run hot by design.
This unit is well suited to small-to-medium restaurant, café, and pub kitchens where a single under-counter position needs to cover both chilled and frozen storage close to the prep or pass area. It works best where GN compatibility with adjacent cookline equipment is important and where moderate drawer access frequency is the norm. For higher-volume operations with more intensive daily use or greater GN storage demands, a heavier-duty multi-drawer configuration may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your counter run, service pattern, or kitchen layout, our team are glad to help before you make a decision.
£1,613.00(£1,935.60 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series Double Drawer Counter is an under-counter refrigeration unit with two independently controlled drawers, each capable of running as either a fridge or a freezer. Combined, they accommodate up to six full-size 1/1 gastronorm pans. Temperature mode is set via front-mounted digital controls, meaning a kitchen can reconfigure cold and frozen storage to match the demands of a particular service without any tools or engineer involvement.
In a working kitchen, that flexibility has genuine operational value. A prep section that needs more frozen capacity during an evening service can reassign a drawer without reorganising the layout or sourcing additional equipment. The forced-air cooling system supports consistent temperature retention even with frequent access — important in a busy prep environment where drawers are opened repeatedly throughout service. The unit is rated for ambient conditions up to 43°C (Climate Class 5), which makes it suitable for hot kitchen environments where standard refrigeration units may struggle to hold safe temperatures reliably.
The drawer format itself offers practical advantages over hinged-door counters in tight spaces:
- Drawers open directly into the workspace, not across a walkway or adjacent station
- GN pan access is quicker during service — no reaching around a door
- Front controls are straightforward to read and adjust at a glance
- Stainless steel construction throughout supports routine cleaning and hygiene compliance
- Castors allow repositioning and cleaning underneath without heavy lifting
Installation is self-contained — the unit runs on a standard electrical supply with no gas or water connection required. At 131kg, floor loading and delivery access are worth thinking through before it arrives. The unit uses R290 refrigerant, a low global-warming-potential option that is increasingly relevant for operators tracking environmental compliance. The energy rating is G, which is typical for dual-temperature units of this type and worth factoring into running cost calculations, particularly on sites with a large refrigeration estate.
This unit suits small-to-medium operations where under-counter space is limited and the ability to switch between fridge and freezer storage adds real day-to-day flexibility — a hotel kitchen, a café prep area, or a restaurant pass where fast GN access matters. Kitchens running high covers across multiple sections with significant cold storage demands may find they need greater overall capacity; it is worth assessing total storage requirements before committing to a single unit.
If you would like to talk through whether this configuration fits your kitchen's cold storage needs, the team is glad to help before you place an order.
£907.00(£1,088.40 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series is a countertop slush machine with a single 12-litre tank, built for commercial venues that want to offer slush or chilled drinks as part of their service. It produces and holds slush at consistent serving consistency throughout the day, and can also be used to dispense chilled still drinks depending on the mixture. Construction is stainless steel and ABS plastic — practical and durable enough for regular daily use in a commercial setting.
The machine reaches serving-ready condition from ambient in around 40 minutes, which fits comfortably into a standard pre-service setup routine. Operators can adjust product consistency via the digital controls, which is useful when switching between mixtures with differing sugar content or when introducing a new recipe. Polar rates the G-Series for ambient operating conditions up to 32°C, so it remains a workable choice in venues that warm up significantly during summer service.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the removable tank and tap assembly makes thorough cleaning straightforward — an important consideration for any venue running the machine continuously.
- Reaches serving-ready condition in approximately 40 minutes from ambient
- Digital controls allow consistency adjustment for different mixture types
- Removable tank and tap assembly supports thorough daily cleaning
- Rated for ambient environments up to 32°C
- Stainless steel and ABS construction suited to regular commercial use
At 12 litres with a single tank, this unit is well suited to lower-to-moderate volume service — a café, small leisure venue, seasonal kiosk, or similar operation running one product line at a time. It is not designed to sustain continuous high-volume throughput, and venues expecting heavy footfall or needing to run multiple flavours simultaneously should consider a multi-tank or higher-capacity alternative. The machine runs on a standard electrical supply and is designed for countertop use, so available worktop depth and proximity to drainage for cleaning are worth confirming before it arrives.
If you are weighing up whether a single 12-litre tank will match your expected demand, or thinking about how this might fit alongside your existing service setup, we are glad to talk it through with you before you commit.
£1,109.00(£1,330.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series is a countertop dual-tank slush machine intended for continuous commercial service. Each of the two 12-litre tanks operates independently, allowing two different flavours or drink types to run simultaneously from a single counter footprint. The unit is constructed from a combination of stainless steel and ABS plastic and uses R290 refrigerant, which carries a lower environmental impact than older refrigerant types.
In a busy service environment, the machine holds up well to sustained demand. From a cold start, product reaches serving consistency in around 40 minutes, which fits comfortably into a morning opening routine or a pre-event setup. Because each tank has its own controls, auger speed and temperature can be set independently — useful where you want a thicker slush on one side and a lighter chilled drink on the other. The unit is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, which is a practical consideration for outdoor events, marquees, or service areas that warm up significantly during the day.
Key operational advantages include:
- Independent tank controls allow two products to be served at different consistencies simultaneously
- Removable tanks and dispensing nozzles simplify daily cleaning and end-of-day hygiene routines
- Digital display and electronic controls reduce setup time and operator training requirements
- Stainless steel and ABS plastic construction withstands regular front-of-house use
- R290 refrigerant reduces environmental impact compared with older refrigerant options
Installation is straightforward. The machine runs from a standard mains supply and requires no plumbed water connection — tanks are filled manually. Ensure the countertop can take the combined weight of the unit when fully loaded, and allow adequate clearance around the casing for ventilation, particularly in enclosed counter spaces. At just over 50kg when loaded, it is worth confirming the final position before the machine is in service.
This unit suits cafés, bars, convenience stores, leisure venues, and event operators running moderate to high volumes through a single service point. The dual-tank configuration makes it a natural fit where menu variety matters. For very high-footfall sites, or wherever more than two flavours need to be on tap at once, a higher-capacity or multi-tank unit may be a more practical choice.
If you would like to talk through whether this machine fits your service volumes or counter setup, our team is glad to help before you commit to an order.
£1,361.00(£1,633.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series triple tank slush machine is a countertop beverage dispenser built around three independent 12-litre tanks, giving front-of-house teams the ability to run up to three different flavours or drink types at the same time from a single unit. It handles both frozen slush drinks and chilled juices or squashes, which adds a useful degree of flexibility for venues where demand shifts across a service day.
Each tank operates independently, with separate controls so staff can adjust consistency and temperature per product rather than applying a blanket setting across the whole machine. From a cold start, the unit reaches serving consistency in approximately 40 minutes, which is practical for setting up ahead of a session. It is also rated to maintain performance in ambient conditions up to 32°C, making it usable in warmer event spaces or venues without strong air conditioning — a detail worth considering when planning placement.
The main operational advantages in a busy service environment are:
- Three independent tanks allow simultaneous service of different flavours without cross-contamination
- Per-tank controls let staff fine-tune each product independently during service
- Removable tanks and dispensing nozzles keep end-of-day cleaning straightforward
- Ambient serving mode extends the unit's usefulness to chilled juice and squash products
- Commercial-grade construction supports consistent daily use in demanding front-of-house settings
The unit requires a standard UK mains supply and should be positioned on a stable, level surface with adequate clearance around the casing for ventilation. At 66.2kg it is a substantial piece of equipment — the worksurface will need to be rated for the load, and installation is best treated as a two-person task. As a countertop unit it is intended for indoor front-of-house use; exposed or outdoor settings are not appropriate.
This machine is well suited to cinemas, leisure centres, sports clubs, food halls, and event or seaside catering operations where running multiple flavours concurrently is a routine requirement. For lower-footfall sites or venues with more limited counter space, a single or twin-tank unit is likely a more proportionate choice. At the other end, very high-volume operations running continuous service across large crowds may benefit from discussing whether a heavier-duty configuration would better match demand.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your setup, the team is glad to help before you commit to an order.
£1,361.00(£1,633.20 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series double door counter freezer is an under-counter frozen storage unit designed for daily commercial use. It provides 282 litres of usable frozen storage across two separately accessed compartments, sits beneath a stainless steel worktop fitted with a rear upstand, and uses R290 refrigerant with forced air cooling to maintain an even temperature throughout the cabinet interior.
Forced air circulation is the practical choice for a busy prep environment. Rather than relying on static cooling, it distributes cold air consistently across all shelf levels, which helps protect product quality when doors are opened frequently during service or prep. The unit holds a climate class 4 rating, meaning it is designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 43°C — a meaningful consideration in commercial kitchens where heat from cooking equipment can make conditions challenging for standard refrigeration. Self-closing doors support temperature recovery and help reduce unnecessary energy draw over the course of a full service day.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers a number of practical advantages:
- Stainless steel construction throughout supports durability and straightforward cleaning
- Rear upstand prevents debris falling behind the unit during prep work
- Adjustable shelving allows the interior to be configured around your storage requirements
- Digital temperature controls are clear and accessible for kitchen staff
- Self-closing doors limit temperature fluctuation during high-frequency access
Installation is straightforward — the unit runs from a standard 13A mains connection and requires no specialist commissioning beyond positioning on a level surface with adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. At 108kg, it is a substantial piece of equipment, so it is worth confirming floor loading capacity and access routes before delivery is arranged. The stainless steel worktop allows the unit to serve as a prep surface, though it is worth thinking carefully about positioning relative to traffic flow to avoid door obstruction during busy periods.
This freezer is well suited to small and medium-sized operations — pubs, cafés, small restaurants, and similar catering environments — where counter-level frozen storage is needed without occupying the floor space that an upright cabinet would require. For higher-volume kitchens or sites that need greater capacity or more frequent access across multiple sections, a larger or upright unit is likely to be more appropriate.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout and service requirements, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.
£1,572.00(£1,886.40 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series triple door counter freezer is a substantial undercounter unit designed to provide reliable frozen storage directly within the working line. Across three independently accessed sections, 417 litres of usable capacity keeps frozen product close to hand during service, reducing the need for repeated journeys to a remote upright or chest freezer in the middle of a busy shift.
Forced air cooling distributes temperature evenly throughout the cabinet, which is particularly important when doors are being opened frequently during peak service. The climate class 4 rating confirms the unit is built to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 43°C — relevant in kitchen environments where heat accumulates during extended service periods. Temperature is held within a practical working range throughout, supporting both food safety compliance and produce quality.
From an operational standpoint, several design details reflect real kitchen demands:
- Self-closing doors from 90° reduce the risk of the unit being left open during a busy service
- Adjustable shelving allows the interior to be configured around different product sizes and storage formats
- Stainless steel construction throughout supports durability and straightforward hygiene cleaning
- The integrated upstand provides a practical rear splash barrier and a clean finish when positioned against a wall
- R290 refrigerant carries a lower global warming potential, which is relevant where sustainability reporting is a consideration
The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. It is not suitable for installation in a fully enclosed recess without proper airflow provision. At 151kg, access routes and floor loading should be confirmed before delivery, particularly in older buildings or those with restricted service access.
This model is well suited to mid-sized restaurant kitchens, hotel prep areas, and pub kitchens where prep-level frozen storage needs to carry a full service without constant restocking from elsewhere. Operations with higher throughput or larger brigade sizes may find an upright freezer cabinet or a greater number of doors a more practical arrangement. For smaller kitchens where counter space is at a premium, a single or twin door variant may be a more proportionate fit.
If you'd like to talk through how this unit would fit your kitchen layout and service volume before ordering, our team is available to help.
£504.00(£604.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series upright display fridge is a single-door chilled merchandiser designed for front-of-house use. The full-height double-glazed door lets customers view and select products without needing staff assistance, and the white finish gives it a clean, neutral appearance that works well in café, bar and convenience retail settings. Internal lighting and an overhead display panel help present products clearly, while four adjustable shelves allow the cabinet to be configured around different bottle and product heights.
In day-to-day operation this is a reliable, consistent cabinet rather than a high-throughput production unit. It holds temperature steadily within the chilled food and drink range, and the R600a refrigerant contributes to reasonably low running costs relative to comparable units. The B energy rating reflects sensible efficiency for a cabinet of this size. The unit is rated for ambient conditions up to 32°C, which covers the majority of UK front-of-house environments, though sites with consistently high ambient temperatures — such as kitchens without adequate ventilation — should factor this into their decision.
Practical features that support front-of-house use include:
- Lockable double-glazed door for stock security in unattended or self-service settings
- Internal LED-style lighting for clear product visibility throughout the cabinet
- Four adjustable shelves to suit different product sizes and layouts
- R600a refrigerant with a lower global warming potential than older alternatives
- White finish suited to retail, café and hospitality front-of-house environments
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It runs from a standard 13A mains connection and requires adequate ventilation clearance — particularly at the rear and top — for the condenser to operate efficiently. At 124kg, it is a substantial cabinet and access routes, flooring suitability and ceiling clearance should all be checked before delivery is arranged. The footprint is compact enough for tighter front-of-house spaces, but the full standing height means the final position needs to be chosen with care.
This cabinet is well suited to cafés, small bars, visitor attractions, convenience retail areas and similar settings where chilled drinks and snacks need to be displayed and accessed directly by customers. It is not intended as a high-volume back-of-house storage unit. For busier sites that need greater capacity, additional doors, or a higher-specification cabinet, there are larger options within the range worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your space and service setup, the team is happy to help before you place an order.

The Polar G-Series is a single-door upright display fridge designed to keep chilled drinks, packaged foods, and similar products both visible and accessible to customers. The white painted steel cabinet and full-height glazed door make it a practical option for operators who need refrigeration to function as a merchandising tool alongside a storage unit — particularly in front-of-house or retail-facing settings.
Consistent temperature holding is as important as presentation in a busy service environment. Rated to climate class 4, this unit is built to maintain its working temperature reliably in ambient conditions up to 32°C — a relevant consideration for service counters, café floors, and food retail spaces that warm up considerably during trading hours. The digital control panel allows straightforward temperature monitoring and adjustment without complicated menus, which helps staff manage the unit confidently during service.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:
- Lockable double-glazed door limits temperature loss and assists with stock security
- Four adjustable shelves allow flexible arrangement across different bottle heights and pack sizes
- White finish sits comfortably in front-of-house settings where appearance alongside function matters
- R600a refrigerant supports efficient running costs and carries a relatively low environmental impact
- Upright format maximises product visibility while keeping the floor footprint manageable
Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard mains power connection and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation. At 134kg, positioning will require two people and clear access through doorways. It is not suitable for outdoor use or unheated storage areas where ambient temperatures drop significantly below the climate class 4 operating range.
This fridge is well suited to cafés, delis, convenience counters, small hotels, and food-to-go operations where chilled product display directly supports sales. It is a mid-capacity unit — operators running high-turnover sites with a large chilled range may find a higher-capacity upright a better fit, while smaller countertop display units are available for lower-volume requirements.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your space and service setup before ordering, our team is glad to help.

How to choose
- Fridge, freezer or both: capacity in litres is in the product title. Dual temp counter units put fridge and freezer drawers in one cabinet, in 2xGN, 3xGN, 4xGN and 6xGN sizes.
- Storage and back of house: gastro uprights come in 600Ltr and 1200Ltr sizes, and slimline uprights in 440Ltr and 960Ltr where floor space is tight. Doors suit bulk storage, while drawers give quicker access to prepared items on a counter.

- Display and front of house: upright display fridges from 218Ltr, 950Ltr display coolers, a 1300Ltr triple door display chiller, a 400Ltr patisserie display fridge and fish display serve over counters.
- Bars: back bar coolers, top-loading bottle coolers in 935mm and 1255mm sizes, and single and double direct draw keg dispensers.
Check before you buy
- Size: external dimensions are on every product page. Check them against the final position and the doorways on the way in. GN means gastronorm, the standard tray size in commercial kitchens, and GN 1/1 is the full size tray.
- Airflow: leave space around the unit for air to circulate, as set out in the manufacturer's instructions.
- Power: some models run from a standard 13 amp plug. The power details are on each product page.
- Temperature range: it varies by model, for example 2°C to 5°C on counter fridges and -20°C to -10°C on freezers, so match it to what you plan to store.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the C, G and U Series?
The series names are a guide rather than a strict rule. G-Series is the widest range, covering counter fridges, uprights, display fridges, bar coolers, keg and drinks dispensers and slush machines. U-Series covers chef base counters, counter freezers, saladette counters, multideck displays and integral walk-in cold and freezer rooms. C-Series includes upright freezers, under counter freezers, wine fridges and a countertop ice machine.
How do I choose the right capacity?
Capacity in litres is in each product title. Think about what you store and how much, how often the door is opened during service, and the space you have. Check the external size on the product page against the space and any doorways before ordering.
What is a chef base, and how is it different from a counter fridge?
A chef base is a low refrigerated counter, 650mm high on the Polar U-Series models we stock, designed to sit under cooking equipment. The G-Series counter fridges with a granite top are 880mm high, so they work as a prep surface.
Which Polar units suit a bar?
Top-loading bottle coolers in 935mm and 1255mm widths, back bar coolers with hinged or sliding doors, and single and double direct draw keg dispensers.
Is there a Polar unit that fits a small kitchen?
The 88Ltr single door counter fridge and counter freezer are GN 1/1 size and 478mm wide. The 440Ltr slimline uprights are 685mm wide.
Do you stock Polar walk-in cold rooms?
Yes. We list Polar integral walk-in cold rooms and freezer rooms in several sizes. Check the sizes on the product pages, and call us on 01304 827 272 if you want help with siting and installation.
What warranty do Polar products have?
Most Polar products we sell carry a 2 year on-site parts and labour warranty. A few models differ, for example the countertop ice machine has 1 year parts and labour, so check the warranty shown on each product page.
