Product Description
The Sterling Pro SP220 is a double-door upright bottle cooler with a 458-litre capacity, built for bar and hospitality environments where consistent drink temperature and visible stock management matter throughout service. The glass-fronted doors let staff identify what needs restocking without opening the cabinet, and the unit is available in black or stainless steel to suit different back-bar aesthetics.
In a working bar environment, the fan-assisted static cooling system helps maintain an even temperature across the full cabinet height, which is particularly relevant when stock levels and bottle sizes vary as a session progresses. Self-closing doors limit temperature fluctuation during busy periods, and the timed automatic defrost keeps the unit running efficiently without requiring manual intervention between services.
From an operational standpoint, the SP220 offers several practical advantages for bar and front-of-house use:
- Glass doors allow quick stock checks without opening the cabinet
- LED interior lighting keeps stock clearly visible with low energy draw
- Adjustable shelving accommodates different bottle heights and formats
- Door locks provide basic stock security in shared or public-facing spaces
- Stainless steel interior is durable and straightforward to clean between restocks
The SP220 is a freestanding unit requiring a standard single-phase mains supply. As with any upright cooler, adequate rear and top clearance for ventilation is important — restricted airflow is one of the more common causes of performance issues in back-bar installations, so it is worth confirming this before positioning the unit. It uses R600a refrigerant, which has a low environmental impact and is well supported by refrigeration engineers across the UK.
This unit is well suited to pubs, bars, hotel bars, restaurants, and cafés that need reliable, high-capacity bottle storage in a back-bar or front-of-house format. For operations with lower throughput, a single-door option may be more appropriate; for very high-volume sites, a larger multi-door configuration may be worth considering. If you are weighing up whether the capacity and footprint are the right fit for your space and service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most pub bars and hotel bars running a standard range of bottled and canned drinks, 458 litres provides a solid working stock without requiring constant restocking during service. If your drinks range is particularly extensive or you run high-volume sessions without easy access to a back-of-house store, a larger unit may serve you better — equally, if your throughput is more modest, a single-door option may be a more proportionate fit.
- The SP220 requires a standard single-phase mains connection, so no specialist electrical supply is needed. The more important consideration is ventilation — the unit needs sufficient clearance at the rear and top for heat to dissipate effectively, and fitting it into a tightly enclosed space without adequate airflow is one of the most common causes of cooling performance issues. Confirm your available space and clearances before positioning the unit.
- The timed automatic defrost cycle handles the most routine maintenance task without any manual input. The stainless steel interior wipes down easily at the end of service, and the adjustable shelving can be removed for more thorough cleaning. R600a refrigerant is widely used and well supported by UK refrigeration engineers, so servicing when required is generally straightforward to arrange.
