The Merrychef Eikon E3XX is a high speed accelerated cooking oven designed for commercial food service environments where speed and consistency matter. It combines microwave energy with impingement and radiant heat to cook, reheat and bake food significantly faster than conventional oven methods, while still producing properly finished results across a broad range of menu items.

In service, the E3XX is well suited to continuous throughput during busy periods. Its three-tier cavity allows multiple items to be loaded simultaneously, and the built-in turntable helps ensure even browning and consistent finish across each cycle without requiring staff to intervene mid-cook. Recovery between cycles is prompt, which matters when covers are building and orders are queuing.

From an operational standpoint, the E3XX offers several practical advantages for front-of-house or servery environments:

• Icon-driven touchscreen allows any team member to operate it with minimal training
• Programmable recipes reduce reliance on individual staff skill or timing judgement
• Compact countertop footprint suits sites where space is limited
• Wide temperature range across the 34.4-litre cavity supports varied menu items from pastries to hot snacks
• Rapid cook cycles help reduce customer wait times without sacrificing food quality

The E3XX runs on a three phase electrical supply, which is an important installation consideration. Sites without existing three phase provision will need an electrical assessment before installation can proceed — this is not a unit that can be plugged into a standard single phase socket. It is a countertop unit and does not require a fixed hood extraction in most configurations, though placement in a well-ventilated area is advisable. Check with your fit-out team or electrician early in the planning process.

The E3XX is commonly used in cafes, bars, hotel serveries, convenience stores and smaller restaurant operations where the menu calls for speed across a varied range of items. It is particularly well matched to sites running high volumes of reheated or freshly prepared grab-and-go food. For operations with significantly higher throughput demands or larger cavity requirements, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity model in the Merrychef range would be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether the E3XX is the right choice for your menu and service volumes, the team at Advantage Catering Equipment are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Merrychef Eikon E3CXX is a high speed accelerated cooking oven designed for commercial food service environments where speed and consistency across a broad menu are both essential. It combines microwave energy, convection heat, and impingement technology to cook, reheat, and brown food significantly faster than conventional oven methods — without sacrificing finish quality. The built-in turntable supports even browning across the cavity, which is a practical advantage when cooking items that would otherwise require manual rotation.

In service, the E3CXX handles a wide range of products from one unit: toasted sandwiches, baked pastries, paninis, jacket potatoes, hot snacks, and light meal items can all pass through the same oven during a busy period. The icon-driven touchscreen allows operators to store and recall programmed cook cycles, which keeps output consistent even when the unit is operated by less experienced staff. Recovery between cycles is fast enough to support steady throughput during peak hours without a holding queue building.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

• Broad menu flexibility from a single compact unit
• Programmable cook cycles that reduce reliance on staff skill level
• Fast cook times that support high-volume counter and café service
• Three-tier cavity that accommodates different product types simultaneously
• Ventless operation in many configurations, which simplifies placement

This is a three-phase model, so the electrical supply requirement needs confirming before installation. Three-phase power is standard in most commercial kitchen builds, but it is worth verifying the available supply in counter or front-of-house locations where this oven is sometimes sited. The unit requires adequate clearance around the cavity door and sufficient ventilation if positioned in an enclosed space — installation guidelines from Merrychef should be followed carefully.

The E3CXX is well suited to cafés, bars, convenience retail, travel catering, and similar operations running a snack or light meal menu at volume. It is less well suited to sites with very high throughput requiring continuous back-to-back heavy loads — for those environments, a higher-capacity accelerated cooking oven would be worth considering. Equally, lower-volume sites with a simpler menu may find a smaller model more proportionate to their needs.

If you are unsure whether the E3CXX matches your service volume or menu requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Merrychef Eikon E3CEE is a countertop high speed oven that combines microwave energy with impingement technology to cook, reheat and bake food significantly faster than a conventional oven. The 34.4-litre cavity is large enough to handle a genuine variety of menu items — from pastries and paninis to hot snacks and plated dishes — and the built-in turntable helps deliver consistent browning and even heat distribution throughout the cavity.

In a busy service environment, speed of throughput is often the limiting factor. The E3CEE is designed to close that gap, reducing cook times considerably compared to traditional methods and allowing operators to serve a much higher volume of covers during peak periods without adding oven capacity or extra staff. Recovery between cycles is quick, which matters in environments where orders arrive in bursts rather than a steady stream.

Practical advantages in day-to-day service include:

• Simple icon-driven touchscreen operable by any front-of-house or kitchen staff member with minimal training
• Programmable menu keys that reduce the margin for human error and maintain consistency across shifts
• Compact countertop footprint that fits into tight back-bar or servery layouts
• Temperature range from 100°C to 275°C, giving reasonable flexibility across different food types
• Standard 13 amp plug connection, removing the need for a dedicated electrical circuit or specialist installation

The 13 amp supply requirement is one of the most practical aspects of this oven. It can be positioned wherever a standard socket is available — no three-phase supply, no hardwired connection, no electrician required for a basic installation. That said, ventilation around the unit still needs consideration; the oven generates heat and requires adequate clearance. It is not designed for use with raw protein in high-volume production environments and works best where menu items are consistent and portion sizes are controlled.

The E3CEE is particularly well suited to cafes, hotel bars, convenience stores, quick-service venues and smaller hospitality operations where speed of service matters but full kitchen infrastructure is not in place. For higher-volume sites or operations needing a larger cavity and greater throughput, there are more substantial models in the Merrychef range worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this oven suits your menu, your service volumes or your site setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Hoshizaki KG420L is a single glass door upright refrigerator from Hoshizaki's Compact series. It is designed for commercial environments where space is limited but consistent food safety cannot be compromised. The glass door makes it a practical choice wherever product visibility matters — whether in a back-of-house prep area or a front-of-house service setting.

In a working kitchen, the Hoshizaki forced-air distribution system is what sets this cabinet apart from simpler units. Rather than cooling from a single point, it circulates air evenly through the cabinet so that all shelf levels are held at a consistent temperature throughout service. During busy periods, when the door is opened repeatedly, the system responds without the prolonged recovery times that can compromise stock held near the top of the cabinet. Automatic defrost with re-evaporation of defrost water reduces manual intervention and avoids water pooling on the floor.

Day-to-day, the KG420L offers several practical operational advantages:

• Internal LED lighting allows stock checks without opening the door, limiting cold air loss
• Full-height integrated door handle supports ergonomic one-handed access during service
• Reversible door hinge lets the unit be positioned to suit the kitchen layout
• Door lock adds security for high-value or allergen-sensitive stock
• Low noise output makes it suitable for open or semi-open kitchen environments

Installation requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and the compact footprint means it fits where a full-size upright refrigerator would not. The unit uses R600a refrigerant, which carries a low global warming potential — relevant for operators with sustainability reporting obligations. It is worth noting that this is not a Gastronorm-compatible cabinet in the traditional sense, so kitchens running standard GN trays directly on shelves should confirm tray compatibility before ordering.

The KG420L is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, cafés, bars, and hospitality operations that need dependable refrigeration without the bulk of a full-size upright. It also works well as a secondary unit alongside a larger refrigerator, or as a dedicated display cabinet in a service counter area. For higher-volume operations or sites running full Gastronorm tray systems throughout, a heavier-duty model from the wider range is likely to be more appropriate.

If you are weighing this unit against alternatives or want to talk through whether it fits your kitchen layout and service requirements, our team is glad to help before you make a decision.

The Panasonic NE-SCV3 is a compact high speed convection oven designed for rapid cooking, toasting, baking, grilling and reheating in front-of-house or counter environments. It uses Panasonic's Twin Inverter technology to circulate heat evenly through the cavity, reducing the cold spots that cause inconsistent results with conventional bench-top ovens. The built-in catalytic converter neutralises cooking odours and eliminates the need for a dedicated extraction canopy, which makes placement more flexible than many comparable units.

In a busy café, deli, or grab-and-go setting, the SCV3 handles the kind of continuous throughput that characterises lunchtime service — toasted sandwiches, pastries, flatbreads and similar items can be turned around quickly without the operator needing to monitor closely. The touch display supports up to 999 recipe programmes and can display custom food images, which means front-of-house staff can run the oven confidently with minimal training. Menu updates can be pushed via USB or LAN, which is useful where menus change seasonally or across multiple sites.

From a practical standpoint, the stackable design means a second unit can be added directly on top if demand grows, without occupying additional worktop footprint. The cavity is straightforward to clean and the ventless operation removes the installation complexity associated with ducted equipment.

• Ventless operation removes the need for a canopy or extraction hood
• Stackable design allows capacity to scale without additional worktop space
• USB and LAN connectivity supports rapid menu updates across sites
• Touch interface with image-based recipe selection reduces staff training time
• Even heat distribution via Twin Inverter technology improves consistency of finish

The SCV3 is best suited to lower-to-medium volume countertop applications — cafés, hotel grab-and-go stations, office catering, and smaller hospitality operations. It is not intended to replace a full-size combi or deck oven in a high-volume production kitchen. For sites running heavier continuous service, a higher-capacity model from the range would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or want to talk through where it would sit in your workflow, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Panasonic NE-1815 is a countertop commercial microwave running at 1800W with three selectable power levels. It is designed for consistent, high-frequency reheating in professional food service environments — settings where the unit needs to perform reliably across a full service period, not just occasionally.

In busy kitchen conditions, the NE-1815 holds up well. Dual-feed energy distribution — delivering power from both the top and bottom of the cavity — helps food heat more evenly than single-feed designs, reducing the likelihood of cold spots in denser or layered portions. For pub kitchens, staff restaurants, fast food operations, and similar settings where portions are reheated steadily throughout the day, it delivers predictable throughput without the inconsistency that lighter-duty units can show under sustained load.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:

• Stainless steel body and cavity — robust, hygienic, and straightforward to clean between services
• Removable ceiling plate — allows thorough interior cleaning without difficulty
• Digital display showing power level, time, and self-diagnostic codes — useful for quick fault identification mid-service
• Three power levels — allows adjustment for different portion types and reduces the risk of overcooking
• Compact countertop footprint — fits into tight pass areas without significant rearrangement

Installation is uncomplicated. The NE-1815 runs on a standard single-phase mains supply, so no specialist electrical work is needed in most kitchens. Allow adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and position it close to the pass for efficient service flow. It has no grill or convection function, so it works best as part of a wider equipment setup rather than as a standalone cooking solution.

This model is well suited to medium- to high-volume operations focused on single-portion reheating. Kitchens running very high covers or regularly handling larger portions and full gastronorm containers may find a higher-capacity unit with a larger cavity more appropriate. Lower-volume sites with only occasional reheating needs may find a lighter-duty model more proportionate to their requirements.

If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume and kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Atosa YBF9206GR is a freestanding single-door upright refrigerator designed for everyday commercial use. It uses a ventilated cooling system with a top-mounted motor to circulate cold air evenly throughout the cabinet, helping to maintain consistent temperatures across all shelf levels rather than concentrating cooling in one zone.

In busy kitchen conditions, the ventilated system copes reliably during high-traffic service periods when the door is opened frequently. The cabinet is rated for ambient environments up to 38°C at 85% humidity, which gives it a useful working margin in hot kitchen conditions where lower-rated units can begin to struggle. The self-closing door and door-activated fan limit cold air loss during service, supporting both food safety compliance and day-to-day running efficiency.

Several practical design details make this unit easier to manage on a daily basis:

• Radius interior corners reduce the time and effort needed for thorough cleaning
• Stainless steel interior and exterior resist staining and wipe down quickly
• Fitted castors allow repositioning or pull-out access for cleaning without additional equipment
• Recessed door handle and self-closing mechanism reduce the risk of the door being left ajar
• Digital controller and display make temperature monitoring straightforward for kitchen staff

Installation is straightforward — the unit is freestanding on castors, so no fixed installation is required. The top-mounted motor means it can be positioned against a rear wall without restricting condenser airflow, which is a genuine advantage in tighter kitchen layouts where rear clearance is limited. It is worth confirming your electrical supply is suitable before delivery.

This cabinet is well suited to café kitchens, pub kitchens, small restaurant operations, and similar catering environments where dependable single-door refrigeration is the priority. Sites operating at higher throughput or needing greater capacity across multiple sections may find a larger or multi-door cabinet from our refrigeration range a more appropriate fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your kitchen layout and service demands, the team is happy to help before you make a decision.

The Lincat EB3FX is a mains-fed, counter-top water boiler with an integrated FilterFlow filtration system. It connects directly to the cold water supply and refills automatically, maintaining a consistent hot water supply throughout service without requiring staff to monitor or manually top up the tank. A colour touchscreen gives straightforward control over temperature and a seven-day programmable timer, so the unit can be scheduled around actual opening hours rather than left running overnight or during closed periods.

In a busy service environment, the continuous draw capability removes one of the more common friction points around hot beverage service. Staff can work through a peak period drawing hot water repeatedly without waiting for a manual refill to heat through, and the consistent output temperature means the quality of the draw holds up from the first cup to the last. The onboard Eco Mode reduces the working volume and energy draw during quieter periods while keeping the boiler ready to respond when footfall picks back up — a practical balance for sites with uneven demand across the day.

The FilterFlow system treats incoming water before it enters the tank, slowing the rate of limescale accumulation on the element and tank surfaces. In hard-water areas this is a meaningful operational consideration — longer intervals between descaling and more consistent thermal efficiency over time rather than gradual degradation. Day-to-day advantages include:

• Automatic refill removes the need for staff monitoring during service
• FilterFlow filtration slows limescale build-up and extends service intervals
• Eco Mode reduces energy draw during off-peak periods without a cold restart
• Seven-day timer allows scheduling around opening hours and closed periods
• On-screen diagnostics support straightforward fault identification

Installation requirements are modest. The unit needs a mains cold water connection via a standard service valve and a 13-amp plug socket — no dedicated electrical circuit or specialist plumbing is required, which keeps setup costs low. It is designed for counter-top use, so it is worth confirming the intended bench position has adequate load-bearing capacity and is within practical reach of both the water supply and a socket. Access around the unit should be kept clear for maintenance and to allow adequate ventilation; recessed or in-cupboard installation is not suitable.

The EB3FX is well suited to cafés, staff canteens, office kitchens, hotel hospitality points, and similar environments where reliable continuous hot water is needed without the footprint of a floor-standing unit. For very high-volume sites drawing large quantities simultaneously across extended service periods, a higher-capacity boiler is worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the EB3FX is the right fit for your site layout or service volumes, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Panasonic NE-1878 is a 1800W countertop commercial microwave designed for professional kitchens where fast, consistent reheating is a routine part of service. Where conventional commercial microwaves cycle power on and off to regulate heat, the NE-1878 uses Panasonic's Inverter Technology to deliver a continuous, controlled energy output. The practical result is more even heating throughout — particularly useful when reheating soups, sauces, or plated components to order, where hot spots or cold centres are not acceptable.

In a busy back-of-house environment, build quality matters. The NE-1878 features an all-metal interior and a solid metal door, both of which clean down more easily than textured or plastic finishes and hold up better to the daily wear of a working kitchen. The controls are straightforward enough that multiple staff members can use the unit reliably across a shift without requiring training or producing errors under pressure.

• Inverter Technology delivers continuous, even heat output — fewer hot spots during reheating
• All-metal interior and solid door stand up to heavy daily use and clean down quickly
• 1800W output supports fast throughput during peak service periods
• Stackable design allows two units to run vertically, preserving worktop space
• Simple controls reduce operator error in high-pressure service environments

The unit draws from a standard electrical supply and is designed to be stackable, making it a practical option where worktop space is limited but demand is high enough to justify running two units in tandem. If stacking is part of your plan, it is worth confirming that your countertop or shelving is rated for the combined load before installation.

The NE-1878 is well suited to pub kitchens, restaurant back-of-house operations, busy cafés, and staff canteens with consistent throughput across the day. For very high-volume sites turning over a large number of covers continuously, it is worth considering whether a second unit or a heavier-duty model would better serve the operation.

If you would like to talk through whether the NE-1878 fits your service volume and kitchen setup, we are happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Valera CT70A is a twin zone countertop induction hob designed for commercial kitchen use. It sits directly on a work surface and provides two independently controlled cooking zones in a compact footprint, requiring no fixed installation beyond a suitable electrical supply. Heat is generated directly within the pan via induction rather than through an open flame or radiant element, which has meaningful practical implications during service.

In a busy kitchen environment, the near-instant heat response gives chefs reliable control over temperature-sensitive dishes — adjustments made at the control translate to the pan almost immediately. Because only the cookware heats up, the surrounding surface stays relatively cool, which reduces the risk of accidental burns and makes the unit safer to work around at pace. Recovery between dishes is quick, helping to sustain throughput when covers are back to back.

The practical advantages for day-to-day service include:

• Independent zone controls allow two cooking tasks to run simultaneously at different temperatures
• No open flame means improved air quality and lower extraction demands compared with gas
• Smooth, flat surface simplifies cleaning between services and at close-down
• Energy directed into the pan rather than the surrounding air supports more efficient running costs
• Straightforward rotary controls are easy to operate without specialist training

As a countertop unit, the CT70A suits kitchens where flexibility matters — it can be positioned where it is needed and repositioned if workflows change. It requires cookware with a ferrous base, such as cast iron or 18/8 stainless steel. Aluminium or copper pans without a magnetic base will not function on induction, so it is worth confirming your existing pan stock is compatible before the unit arrives. You should also verify that your available circuit has adequate capacity to support both zones running simultaneously.

The CT70A is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, pop-up operations, catering vans, event catering, and as supplementary hob capacity in larger kitchens where additional cooking space is needed without committing to a fixed range. For high-volume sites running sustained back-to-back service across a large number of covers, a heavier-duty or multi-zone induction solution may be a more appropriate fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right match for your service volume and kitchen setup, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

The Hoshizaki K420L is a compact single-door upright refrigerator designed for commercial kitchens where floor space is limited but properly maintained chilled storage remains a genuine operational necessity. It sits within Hoshizaki's Compact series — a range built on the principle that smaller kitchens still require correctly temperature-controlled, food-safe refrigeration, not a scaled-down domestic alternative pressed into service.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the cabinet maintains stable, uniform temperatures through an automatic defrost cycle and an air distribution system that prevents warm spots developing within the interior. This consistency matters during busy service periods when door openings are frequent and ambient kitchen temperatures rise. Recovery is reliable enough to hold fresh produce and dairy within safe temperature ranges throughout a full service without requiring any operator intervention.

From a practical standpoint, the K420L is straightforward to work with in a compact kitchen environment:

• One-piece internal lining with smooth, seamless surfaces simplifies daily cleaning routines
• Rounded internal corners and a removable door seal reduce the effort required for deep cleans
• Full-height integrated door handle provides easy grip and wipes down quickly between services
• Compact footprint allows placement in back-of-house spaces where standard upright cabinets will not fit

Installation requirements are uncomplicated — the cabinet runs from a standard mains socket and requires adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation. It is not a gastronorm-optimised, heavy-duty larder cabinet, so kitchens running high-volume pass or prep storage should consider whether a larger-capacity unit better suits their throughput before committing.

The K420L is well suited to smaller independent restaurants, cafés, sandwich bars, and similar operations that need dependable day-to-day chilled storage without the footprint of a full-size upright. If your storage demands are growing or you are catering for longer prep cycles, it is worth exploring whether a higher-capacity model would serve you better in the long run.

If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your kitchen layout and storage requirements, the team is happy to help you work it out before you decide.

The Atosa MBF8114HD is a large-capacity double door upright freezer built for commercial kitchens that need reliable, high-volume frozen storage as part of daily service. Constructed in grade 304 stainless steel inside and out, it is designed to handle the physical demands of a professional kitchen environment and remain practical to clean and maintain over time.

One of the more operationally relevant characteristics of this model is its high ambient temperature rating. Many standard commercial freezers lose efficiency or struggle to maintain temperature when the surrounding air is warm — a common problem in kitchens where cooking equipment generates significant heat, or where airflow around the refrigeration zone is restricted. The MBF8114HD is rated to operate reliably in those conditions, which makes it a practical choice where lesser units would labour through a busy service.

In day-to-day use, several design details translate into genuine operational advantages:

• Self-closing, lockable doors reduce accidental temperature loss during busy service periods
• Radius interior corners make thorough cleaning faster and less labour-intensive
• Recessed door handles reduce snagging in tighter kitchen passageways
• Door-switch linked interior light and evaporator fan reduce unnecessary running when the unit is open
• Digital temperature display allows at-a-glance monitoring without opening the cabinet
• Fitted castors as standard allow repositioning for deep cleaning or layout changes

Installation is generally straightforward, but a few practical points are worth confirming before the unit is placed. The condenser requires adequate clearance to reject heat effectively — this matters particularly given the high ambient rating, which depends on good airflow around the unit. The double-door footprint means door swing clearance should be assessed in context before a final position is chosen, and the electrical supply should be confirmed as suitable prior to connection.

This freezer is well suited to hotels, contract catering operations, large restaurant kitchens, and central production units where substantial frozen storage is a daily requirement — and especially where the kitchen environment tends to run warm. Operators with more modest storage needs may find a single-door model a better fit for their space. For very high-volume production sites managing multiple freezer zones, it is worth considering whether a different configuration would serve more efficiently.

If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout, service volume, or ambient conditions before committing, the team is glad to help you work through it.

The Valera AB20A is a single-zone induction hob designed to be built flush into a fabricated counter or servery unit. It arrives pre-wired to its control panel, which keeps the installation straightforward and leaves the finished counter surface clean and uncluttered — a practical consideration where hygiene and presentation both matter.

Induction works by generating heat directly within the base of the pan rather than at the cooking surface itself. In practice, this means faster heat-up than a conventional hob, more immediate response when you adjust the controls, and a surface that stays relatively cool during use and doesn't retain dangerous residual heat once the pan is lifted. The rotary controls are easy to operate under service pressure, and the flat ceramic surface — no burners, no elements, no crevices — wipes down quickly at the end of a shift.

For the right operation, the AB20A offers some clear day-to-day advantages:

• Near-instant heat response supports precise temperature control throughout service
• Cool cooking surface reduces burn risk and contributes to safer working conditions
• Smooth flat surface cleans quickly, helping maintain hygiene standards between covers
• Drop-in format integrates neatly into counter fabrications without disrupting the work surface line
• Compatible with ferrous-base cookware including standard commercial stainless steel pans

As a drop-in unit, the AB20A needs to be factored into counter fabrication — or a suitable retrofit cut-out — from the outset. It is a fixed installation rather than a portable appliance. Counter material and thickness should be confirmed as appropriate before ordering, and access to the correct electrical supply will be needed at the point of installation. These are straightforward requirements, but worth planning ahead.

This is a light-duty unit, and it performs best when used as such. It is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, grab-and-go counters, and hospitality servery environments where a single reliable induction zone is needed without the sustained throughput demands of continuous high-volume service. Operations running heavily loaded shifts across multiple cooking zones would be better served by a heavier-duty induction unit from our range.

If you'd like to talk through whether the AB20A fits your counter layout or service pattern, we're happy to help before you place an order.

The Merrychef ConneX 12e is a countertop accelerated cooking oven that combines microwave energy with other heat sources to cook, reheat, grill, and toast significantly faster than conventional ovens. It is designed for food service operations that need to turn around hot food quickly without the complexity or cost of a full ventilated cooking suite.

In a busy service environment, speed and consistency matter equally. The ConneX 12e is built to deliver repeatable results across a high volume of covers, reducing ticket times for hot snacks, reheated dishes, toasted items, and light cooked food. Its programmable easyTouch 2.0 controller stores recipes as icon-driven presets, which means staff can produce consistent results without needing detailed cooking knowledge — a practical advantage in kitchens with high turnover or variable staffing levels.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages include:

• Ventless operation — no extraction canopy required, simplifying placement
• Standard 13-amp plug connection — no electrical installation works needed
• Compact countertop footprint — preserves worktop and floor space
• Icon-driven controls — minimal training required for new staff
• Broad menu range — handles reheating, grilling, toasting, and cooking in one unit

Because the ConneX 12e runs from a standard 13-amp socket and requires no overhead ventilation, it can be positioned almost anywhere a suitable surface and power outlet exist. This makes it a practical choice for locations where conventional cooking equipment cannot easily be installed — front-of-house serveries, small back-of-house areas, or satellite food service points. It is worth noting that, as with all accelerated ovens, cavity size limits the portion volume per cycle, so very high throughput operations may need to consider whether a single unit is sufficient.

The ConneX 12e is well suited to cafés, coffee shops, quick-service restaurants, workplace catering, travel hospitality, and any operation offering a focused hot food menu. It works particularly well where hot food is a complement to an existing offer rather than the primary kitchen output. For sites with greater volume demands or a wider cooked-to-order menu, a higher-capacity accelerated oven may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the ConneX 12e fits your service model or want to discuss how it would work alongside your existing equipment, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Fama MRT 700 is a belt-driven conveyor toaster designed for continuous, high-volume toast production in commercial kitchens. Bread is loaded at one end, carried through the heating chamber on a moving belt, and delivered via a front-facing chute — meaning the input and output points sit on the same side of the unit. This layout is particularly practical for counter service and self-serve breakfast stations where space is organised around a single working face.

Where pop-up toasters require repeated manual loading and create natural bottlenecks during busy services, a conveyor format runs continuously without intervention. The MRT 700 offers independently controlled top and bottom heating elements, which allows toasting colour to be set precisely — useful when a service is running different bread types, bagels, or teacakes through the same machine. Conveyor speed provides a second point of adjustment, giving operators the means to fine-tune results as products or preferences change across a service period.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Cool-touch outer casing reduces burn risk in self-serve and tight counter environments
• Stainless steel construction supports durability and straightforward cleaning routines
• Removable crumb tray simplifies hygiene maintenance between and after service
• Ventilated motor helps manage heat build-up during extended continuous operation
• Timer control supports consistent results without constant operator attention

Installation is relatively straightforward, but it is worth confirming counter depth and overhead clearance before positioning the unit — conveyor toasters require adequate ventilation around the casing and should not be placed directly against walls or under low shelving. The front-chute configuration suits hotel breakfast stations, café counters, and self-serve dining setups where output needs to be accessible from the front. For sites running exceptionally high volumes across multiple simultaneous services, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.

The MRT 700 is well suited to hotels, cafés, staff canteens, and casual dining operations built around a dedicated breakfast or brunch menu. It is particularly practical where consistent output and ease of use matter as much as raw throughput, and where operators want a reliable unit that can run through a full service without supervision.

If you are working through the best configuration for your counter layout or service volume, our team is happy to help you think it through before you place an order.

The Lincat Silverlink SLR9C is a six-burner gas range from Lincat's well-established Silverlink 600 series. It combines a full-width six-burner hob surface with a gas-fired static oven beneath, built to a 600mm depth footprint that integrates into a standard cooking suite or operates as a standalone unit on a kitchen line.

During a busy service, the six-burner layout allows cooking teams to run multiple tasks simultaneously — sautéing, reducing, holding, and batch work can all happen across the same surface without stations getting in each other's way. The hob tops are fully pressed and sealed, which contains spills at the surface, prevents debris reaching the chassis, and keeps end-of-service cleaning straightforward. Flame failure devices are fitted to all burners, cutting the gas supply automatically if a flame is lost — a standard safety requirement in commercial kitchen environments.

The static gas oven beneath gives useful secondary capacity for roasting, baking, or holding through a service. Multiple shelf positions offer some flexibility over how the oven space is used, and the side-hinged doors keep access clear even in tighter kitchen layouts. The low-level flue design keeps the rear of the unit unobstructed, so tall stockpots and large vessels can sit on the rear burners without restriction.

• Sealed hob tops contain spills and simplify end-of-service cleaning
• Flame failure devices on all burners support safe operation during busy periods
• Static oven with multiple shelf positions for flexible batch cooking
• Low-level flue allows tall vessels on rear burners without obstruction
• Rear castors allow the unit to be moved out for thorough cleaning beneath

Installation requires a natural gas or LPG supply — if your site runs LPG, confirm conversion requirements at the point of order. The unit will typically be positioned beneath a canopy extraction system with appropriate clearance to combustibles. All installation and commissioning must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

The SLR9C is well suited to smaller restaurants, café bars, pubs, care homes, and similar operations running a moderate-volume kitchen service. It is a practical choice where a reliable, cleanable range is needed without the complexity or footprint of a heavier-duty model. Sites running longer services, higher covers, or requiring greater oven capacity may find a higher-output model more appropriate for their needs.

If you would like to talk through whether this range fits your kitchen layout and service volume, the team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Atosa MBF8117HD is a double door upright refrigerator built for commercial kitchens that need dependable, high-capacity chilled storage as a core part of daily operation. It holds consistent temperatures across two full-height compartments, making it a practical workhorse for back-of-house environments where chilled produce moves at volume throughout a service period.

One of the more operationally significant design decisions on this unit is its high-ambient rating. It is built to perform reliably in kitchens with elevated heat and humidity — conditions that are not uncommon in busy or poorly ventilated back-of-house spaces, and that can cause lower-rated cabinets to struggle with temperature recovery at peak service. For kitchens where ambient temperature climbs noticeably during a lunch or dinner push, that resilience has real day-to-day value.

Several design details translate directly into operational benefit:

• Self-closing, lockable doors help maintain cabinet temperature when kitchen traffic around the unit is high
• Radius interior corners make cleaning quicker and more thorough, which supports hygiene compliance
• Door-activated interior lighting improves visibility without unnecessary energy draw
• Recessed door handles reduce snagging risk in tighter passageways
• Castors fitted as standard allow straightforward repositioning and cleaning behind the unit

The interior and exterior are finished in 304 stainless steel, which holds up well to daily cleaning with standard catering-grade products and meets the expectations of most environmental health inspections.

Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit runs on standard mains power and the castors allow flexible placement without major groundwork. That said, adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet should be confirmed to allow the condenser to operate efficiently, particularly in warmer kitchen environments. The unit's footprint and weight mean access routes and floor loading are worth checking ahead of delivery, especially in older buildings or basement kitchens.

The MBF8117HD is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations — restaurant back-of-house, hotel kitchens, staff canteens, and similar sites that need dependable bulk chilled storage short of a walk-in. For smaller operations with more modest throughput, a single-door cabinet may be a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume or multi-kitchen sites, a larger-format solution may serve the operation better.

The Merrychef Eikon E3CXE is a countertop high-speed oven that combines convection, microwave and impingement energy to cook, reheat and bake items significantly faster than conventional ovens. It is designed for front-of-house and back-of-house environments where speed matters and space is limited — operating from a standard single-phase supply keeps installation straightforward for most existing fit-outs.

In a busy service environment, the E3CXE earns its place by removing the queue at the pass. Sandwiches, paninis, pastries, jacket potatoes and plated dishes can be brought up to service temperature or cooked from raw in a fraction of the time a conventional oven would require. The integrated turntable promotes even browning throughout the cavity, reducing the need for manual intervention during service. The 34.4-litre cavity is practical for a countertop unit — large enough to accommodate a range of portions without the footprint of a full-size oven.

For operators, the practical advantages are considerable:

• Icon-driven touchscreen allows any team member to operate the oven with minimal training
• Programmable menu system stores consistent cook settings, reducing human error during busy periods
• Single-phase connection removes the need for three-phase supply — useful in smaller sites or listed buildings
• Compact countertop design integrates into tight service areas, grab-and-go counters and coffee bar setups
• Consistent output across shifts, regardless of who is operating it

The E3CXE runs from a single-phase supply, which suits most café, bar and convenience-style environments. It does not require external ventilation in many configurations, though placement, airflow around the unit and local authority requirements should always be confirmed before installation. The unit should sit on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance to the sides and rear as specified by the manufacturer.

This oven is well suited to cafés, coffee shops, bars, convenience stores, hotel grab-and-go counters and smaller restaurants looking to add speed to a limited menu without committing to a high-volume combi oven. It is particularly effective where a consistent, repeatable output is needed from staff with varying levels of kitchen experience. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands or a broader cooked-to-order menu, a higher-capacity accelerated cooking oven may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the E3CXE is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Hoshizaki FG420L is a single-door upright freezer with a full-height glass door, designed for commercial environments where visibility of stored product and efficient use of floor space are both priorities. It sits on castors, making repositioning straightforward during cleaning or a kitchen reconfiguration. This is a compact cabinet aimed at operators who need reliable frozen storage in a footprint that suits tighter or secondary kitchen spaces.

In a working kitchen, the glass door earns its place in service areas, prep counters, and front-of-house display settings where staff or customers benefit from being able to see contents without opening the door repeatedly. Hoshizaki's refrigeration systems are well regarded for temperature consistency and durability under daily commercial use, and the Compact series reflects that build standard in a smaller format. The cabinet is not intended as a high-volume bulk storage unit — it is better understood as an accessible, practical freezer for operations that need fast access to a manageable range of frozen product.

Key practical advantages include:

• Glass door reduces unnecessary door opening, helping maintain stable internal temperatures
• Castors allow easy repositioning for cleaning behind and beneath the unit
• Compact footprint suits kitchens where full-size upright freezers are impractical
• Hoshizaki build quality supports reliable daily use without requiring heavy maintenance
• Suitable for display and storage use in both back-of-house and service-counter settings

Installation is straightforward — the cabinet runs on standard single-phase supply and requires adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. Because it is a compact unit, it is not designed for high-volume frozen storage or environments where large quantities of ambient product are loaded in regularly. Operators running a heavy frozen volume would be better served by a larger capacity cabinet. As with any refrigeration unit, leaving appropriate airflow clearance at the rear and top is important for efficient running.

This model is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, small restaurants, hotel bars, and similar operations that need accessible frozen storage in a limited footprint. It also works well as a secondary freezer in larger kitchens or as a display unit in counter settings. For sites with higher storage demands, a larger upright freezer from within the Hoshizaki range may be a more practical fit.

If you are weighing this cabinet against your storage requirements or want to confirm it is the right fit for your setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Atosa YBF9207GR is a single door upright freezer designed for day-to-day frozen storage in commercial catering environments. It uses a ventilated cooling system to circulate cold air evenly through the cabinet, which supports consistent temperature holding across the full interior — particularly useful when the door is opened frequently during service.

One of the more practical characteristics of this unit is its high-ambient rating, which allows it to operate reliably in kitchen areas where temperatures and humidity levels are elevated. Many standard freezers struggle to maintain stable temperatures in hot kitchen conditions; this cabinet is built to cope with environments that would put strain on a conventional unit. That makes it a sensible choice for kitchens where heat from cooking equipment, limited ventilation, or confined spaces pushes ambient temperatures higher than average.

From a daily operational standpoint, the cabinet is straightforward to work with and keep clean:

• Radius interior corners reduce food build-up and make cleaning quicker
• Self-closing, lockable door supports food safety and HACCP compliance
• Fitted castors allow the unit to be repositioned for cleaning behind and beneath
• Interior light and evaporator fan cut out when the door opens, reducing unnecessary energy draw
• Digital temperature controller provides clear, at-a-glance readings for compliance records

The unit runs from a standard single-phase electrical supply and does not require specialist installation beyond allowing adequate ventilation clearance around the casing. If you are positioning it in an older building or on a raised floor, it is worth confirming that the floor loading is suitable before the unit is stocked.

This freezer is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, and similar operations where a dependable single-door cabinet covers frozen stock requirements without consuming excessive floor space. For sites with heavier throughput or larger frozen stock holdings, a wider or multi-door cabinet is likely to be a more practical fit.

If you are weighing up whether this cabinet suits your kitchen layout or ambient conditions, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Hoshizaki F420L is a single-door upright freezer from Hoshizaki's Compact series, designed for commercial kitchens where floor space is at a premium but consistent, safe frozen storage remains a non-negotiable requirement. It offers a practical solution for smaller operations that need a reliable, self-contained freezer cabinet without the physical footprint of a full-size gastronorm unit.

In day-to-day service, the F420L performs well for steady frozen storage across a varied product mix. The internal air distribution system maintains even temperatures throughout the cabinet, helping to protect food quality whether you are storing raw proteins, pre-prepared items, or bakery goods at different shelf heights. Automatic defrost keeps ice build-up in check without requiring manual intervention, which matters on a busy shift when the freezer needs to look after itself.

From an operational standpoint, the cabinet has been designed with hygiene and ease of cleaning clearly in mind. Key practical advantages include:

• Seamless one-piece inner lining that cleans down quickly without trapping debris
• Rounded internal corners and a removable door seal eliminating hard-to-clean recesses
• Full-height integrated handle reducing contact points and simplifying cleaning routines
• Automatic defrost removing the need for scheduled manual defrost cycles
• Compact cabinet dimensions that fit into tight kitchen layouts where larger units would not

Installation is straightforward relative to its class, but adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet is essential. Restricted airflow around the condenser is one of the most common causes of poor temperature performance and higher running costs in compact freezers — confirm your available space accounts for this before the unit arrives. No specialist services beyond a standard electrical supply are required, making it practical to position in secondary locations as well as main kitchen runs.

This model is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, sandwich operations, and secondary frozen storage positions within larger kitchens. It is not designed for high-volume sites with frequent door cycling through busy service periods or where large quantities of warm product need to be loaded regularly. For those environments, a higher-capacity or heavier-duty cabinet will serve the operation more reliably.

If you would like to talk through whether the F420L fits your kitchen layout and storage requirements, the team is happy to work through it with you before you place an order.

The Fama MF4 is a single-spindle countertop drink mixer designed for preparing milkshakes, protein shakes, and blended syrups in a commercial setting. It operates on two speeds and is supplied complete with a stainless steel cup, so it is ready to use without needing additional accessories from the outset.

In day-to-day service, this type of mixer is a dependable piece of kit for counters where blended drinks form part of the menu rather than the core offer. The two-speed motor gives operators a degree of control over texture — a lower speed for lighter drinks and a higher speed for thicker, more viscous blends. That flexibility is useful when you are working across a varied drinks menu without wanting to invest in something more complex. The stainless steel cup holds up well to repeated daily use and is straightforward to clean between orders.

Practical advantages for café counters and front-of-house drink stations include:

• Quick to operate with minimal staff training required
• Stainless steel cup resists staining and withstands regular cleaning
• Compact footprint suits tight or busy countertop spaces
• Two-speed operation handles a range of drink consistencies
• Simple construction keeps day-to-day maintenance manageable

The MF4 requires only a standard mains socket and a stable counter surface — there are no water or drainage connections involved. It is worth checking the clearance above the spindle when the cup is in position, particularly in confined service areas with low overhead shelving.

This mixer is well suited to cafés, snack bars, hotel bars, and similar environments where blended drinks are prepared regularly but not at high continuous volume. For sites serving milkshakes or blended drinks as a primary menu focus through busy service periods, a multi-spindle or higher-capacity unit may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether the MF4 fits your service setup before ordering, we are glad to help.

The Valera AT25C is a single-zone counter top induction hob designed for commercial kitchen use. Rather than relying on a gas flame or conventional electric element, it transfers heat directly into the base of compatible cookware through electromagnetic induction. The hob surface itself remains relatively cool during operation, and the unit works with any pan carrying a ferrous base — including the 18/8 stainless steel pans widely used in professional kitchens.

In a working kitchen, the AT25C suits stations where a responsive, self-contained heat source is needed without committing to a fixed range installation. Induction reacts quickly to power adjustments, which is practically useful when moving between a steady simmer and a rapid boil during a busy service. Because the surface does not heat directly, spillages are far less likely to bake on, making end-of-service cleaning considerably more straightforward than with gas burners or conventional electric plates.

Key practical advantages in a commercial setting include:

• Near-instant response to power changes during busy service periods
• Cooler hob surface reduces ambient heat at the cooking station
• Flat, smooth surface wipes clean quickly with no grates or burner rings to remove
• No gas connection or open flame — simplifies siting and reduces risk
• Portable format allows flexible placement across counters, pass areas, or prep stations

As a counter top unit, the AT25C can be positioned wherever a suitable electrical supply is available. It is worth confirming supply requirements before installation, and equally important to check that existing cookware is induction-compatible — non-ferrous pans will not function with this or any induction unit.

The AT25C is well suited to smaller operations, pop-up or event catering, prep kitchens, or as a supplementary hob alongside an existing range. Sites requiring continuous multi-zone output or higher throughput across a full service may find a larger or multi-zone unit better matched to operational demand.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen setup or cookware stock before placing an order, our team is happy to help you work it through.

The Valera CW35A is a single-zone commercial induction hob built specifically for wok cookery. Unlike a standard flat induction hob designed around pots and flat-based pans, the CW35A features a dished cooking surface that cradles a round-bottomed wok and holds it stable during the fast, high-heat movements that wok cooking demands. It is compatible with any ferrous-based cookware, including 18/8 stainless steel woks, so in most cases it will work with the wok sets already in a kitchen.

Induction transfers heat directly into the pan rather than through a radiant element or open flame, and the response to power adjustments is near-immediate. For wok cookery, where temperature management is central to the technique, that precision is genuinely useful during a busy service. There is no residual heat from a burner carrying over between dishes, and the absence of combustion reduces ambient temperature at the station — a practical consideration in tight or warm prep areas.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the CW35A offers a number of practical advantages:

• Near-instant heat response gives the operator direct, intuitive control throughout service
• No combustion means lower ambient heat and a cleaner working environment at the station
• Smooth dished surface with no grates or burner components to strip down for cleaning
• Lower energy draw compared to equivalent gas output, supporting running cost management
• Practical where gas supply is unavailable, restricted, or subject to planning constraints

Because this is an induction unit, cookware must contain a ferrous element — aluminium and copper pans will not work. The dished surface is purpose-built for wok use and is not suited to flat-based general cooking. Before installation, electrical capacity should be assessed carefully, particularly where multiple units are being added to the same circuit run.

The CW35A is well suited to pan-Asian restaurants, noodle bars, and similar operations where wok-style cooking features regularly on the menu, and particularly where a gas supply is not available or practical. As a single-zone unit, sites with high concurrent wok output may find a multi-zone or higher-capacity alternative a better fit. For lighter or intermittent use, it also works well as a supplementary station alongside an existing range.

If you are working out whether induction wok cookery is the right approach for your kitchen layout or service volume, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Hoshizaki FG220R is a compact undercounter freezer from Hoshizaki's Compact series, fitted with a glass door and mounted on castors. It is designed to provide accessible frozen storage in environments where floor space is at a premium, allowing staff to see contents at a glance without opening the door repeatedly.

In a working kitchen or front-of-house environment, this type of unit suits operations that need frozen product close to the point of service without committing floor space to a full-height cabinet. The glass door makes it particularly useful where staff need to locate items quickly during a busy service. Hoshizaki's build quality is well regarded in the industry, and the Compact series maintains that standard in a smaller footprint.

Practical advantages this unit offers in day-to-day operation include:

• Glass door allows quick visual stock checks without opening the cabinet
• Undercounter format fits beneath existing prep surfaces or counters
• Castors allow the unit to be repositioned or moved for cleaning
• Compact footprint suits tight service areas, bars, and small prep kitchens
• Good energy efficiency for its class helps manage running costs over time

Being a compact undercounter unit, this freezer is not intended for high-volume bulk frozen storage. It works best as a secondary freezer positioned close to service, rather than as a primary storage solution for a busy kitchen. The castors mean it is not fixed in place, but a stable, level floor surface is still important for correct door alignment and reliable operation. Clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation should be factored into positioning.

This unit is well suited to smaller catering operations, café or bar environments, and front-of-house display or service points where compact frozen storage with product visibility is a priority. For kitchens with significantly higher frozen storage demands, a larger undercounter or upright freezer would be a more appropriate choice.
