Product Description
The Roller Grill BAR 2000 is a compact countertop snack grill using infrared quartz elements to cook from both above and below. It is designed for toasting, grilling and reheating a range of light snacks — sandwiches, paninis, pizza slices, quiche, croque-monsieur, toast and similar items. The top and bottom elements operate independently, so it can function as a contact-style grill with both elements active, or as a salamander using the top element alone.
The quartz elements reach working temperature quickly, which suits operations where the grill may not be in continuous use. Infrared radiant heat minimises smoke and odour during cooking, which is a practical consideration for front-of-house installations or areas without dedicated extraction. A 15-minute timer with a continuous override option gives service staff straightforward control during busy periods.
In operational terms, the BAR 2000 suits cafés, delis, hotel lobbies, bar kitchens and similar venues where snack throughput is moderate and counter space is limited. Key practical advantages include:
- Fast heat-up reduces idle energy use between service periods
- Independent top and bottom element control for flexible cooking modes
- Low smoke and odour output — practical for front-of-house placement
- Compact footprint suits tight countertop layouts
- Simple timer controls reduce staff training requirements
Installation is straightforward — the unit is electric and requires a suitable countertop power supply. It is worth confirming that your front-of-house area has adequate ventilation even with the reduced smoke output, particularly in enclosed spaces. For sites handling high-volume snack service across a full day, a higher-capacity grill or salamander may be a more practical fit.
The BAR 2000 is well suited to cafés, hotel bars, small bistros and snack counters where speed and simplicity matter more than high throughput. If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or counter setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The infrared quartz elements are designed to minimise smoke and odour compared to contact grills or open flame equipment, which makes front-of-house placement more practical. That said, it is always worth assessing your specific space — a well-ventilated area is still preferable, and any enclosed counter environment should have some degree of air movement.
- The BAR 2000 is well suited to moderate snack throughput rather than high-volume continuous grilling. It performs reliably across a busy café or bar lunch service, but if you are running back-to-back orders at volume for extended periods, a heavier-duty salamander or contact grill with greater capacity may be a better fit for your operation.
- With both top and bottom elements active, the unit operates as a contact-style grill, applying heat from above and below simultaneously — useful for toasted sandwiches and paninis. Using only the top element converts it to a salamander function, which is better suited to melting, browning, or finishing dishes where you want overhead radiant heat without cooking from beneath.
