Lincat PHGR01 Phoenix 6 Burner Gas Range

The Lincat Phoenix PHGR01 is a freestanding gas range combining six hob burners with a full-width static oven beneath. Built by Lincat, a well-established UK commercial catering equipment manufacturer, it is designed to handle the cooking demands of a working professional kitchen across regular service periods.

Six burners provide enough simultaneous cooking positions to run a broad range of tasks within a single service — saucing, sautéing, holding large pots at temperature, and running multiple dishes in parallel. The pressed and sealed hob top contains spillage rather than allowing it to track into the body of the range, which becomes a genuine advantage when service is moving quickly and cleaning windows are limited. Each burner carries flame failure protection, cutting the gas supply automatically if the flame is lost — a standard commercial safety requirement and one worth confirming is present on any range you consider.

The static oven sits below the hob and is accessed via two side-hinged doors. This arrangement works well in tighter kitchen runs where a single wide door would obstruct passing traffic. Practical benefits worth noting include:

• Sealed hob top contains spillage and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Flame failure protection on all burners meets standard commercial safety requirements
• Vitreous enamelled oven interior resists staining and cleans down efficiently
• Removable oven floor plate allows thorough access without tools
• Supplied on castors as standard, supporting repositioning and deep cleaning beneath the unit

The PHGR01 runs on natural gas or LPG — if LPG is required, confirm conversion requirements before ordering. Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the unit needs positioning beneath a suitable extraction canopy. The castors provide reasonable layout flexibility, though a level, stable floor and appropriate clearances to combustible surfaces remain essential.

This range is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, pub kitchens, and catering operations running regular à la carte or set-menu service. For very high-volume sites — large banqueting operations, high-turnover covers, or continuous double-shift kitchens — a heavier-duty range with greater oven capacity may be a more appropriate fit. At the other end, smaller operations with limited floor space may find a four-burner format offers a better footprint-to-output balance.

If you are working out whether the PHGR01 suits your kitchen's layout and service demands, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
