Product Description
The Crown Verity PGT1117 is a perforated grill plate designed to fit the full MCB range of Crown Verity barbecues. The perforated surface allows heat and smoke to circulate around food while preventing smaller items from falling through the grill grates — a practical solution for caterers cooking fish, vegetables, or other delicate produce on a commercial outdoor setup.
In a busy outdoor catering or events environment, this kind of accessory earns its place quickly. Fish fillets, asparagus, sliced courgette, and similar ingredients that would be lost or damaged on open grates cook evenly and stay intact, reducing waste and improving plate presentation. The plate sits directly on the existing MCB grill surface, so there is no complex setup involved.
Key practical advantages include:
- Prevents delicate fish and vegetables from falling through grates
- Allows smoke penetration and char flavour to develop naturally
- Compatible across the MCB barbecue range — no additional adapters needed
- Simple to remove and clean between service periods
- Expands menu flexibility on an existing MCB unit
This is a straightforward accessory rather than a complex piece of equipment, but it is worth confirming compatibility with your specific MCB model before ordering. If you are putting together a full outdoor catering station or are unsure which Crown Verity accessories suit your setup, the team is happy to help you piece it together sensibly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The PGT1117 is stated as compatible with all barbecues in the Crown Verity MCB range. If you are unsure whether it suits your specific MCB model, it is worth checking with the team before ordering to avoid any fitment issues.
- Perforated grill plates are most commonly used for fish, shellfish, and cut vegetables — produce that would otherwise fall through open grill grates or break apart when turned. The perforations still allow heat and smoke to circulate, so you retain the flavour characteristics of direct grilling rather than simply steaming the food.
- The plate can be removed from the grill for cleaning, which makes it straightforward to degrease and scrub between service periods. For busy outdoor catering operations, having a second plate available can help maintain throughput while one is being cleaned.
