Product Description
The Roller Grill BAR 2000 is a compact countertop snack grill that uses infrared quartz elements to cook from both above and below simultaneously. It is designed for toasting, grilling and reheating light snacks — sandwiches, paninis, pizza slices, quiche, croque-monsieur and similar items. The top and bottom elements operate independently, allowing the unit to work as a contact-style grill with both elements active, or as a top-heat-only salamander when the bottom element is not needed.
The quartz elements reach operating temperature quickly, which suits venues where the grill sees intermittent rather than continuous use throughout the day. Infrared radiant heat keeps smoke and odour notably low during cooking — a meaningful practical consideration for front-of-house placements, open counters, or service areas without dedicated extraction overhead. A 15-minute timer with a continuous override gives staff straightforward control without needing to monitor closely during a busy period.
Key practical advantages for operators 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 suits front-of-house and open-plan placement
- Compact footprint fits into tight countertop layouts
- Simple timer controls keep staff training requirements minimal
Installation is straightforward — the BAR 2000 is electric and requires only a suitable countertop power supply. Even with reduced smoke output, it is worth confirming that the intended location has adequate ventilation, particularly in enclosed or low-ceiling areas. For sites running sustained high-volume snack service across a full trading day, a heavier-duty or larger-capacity unit is likely the more practical choice.
The BAR 2000 is well suited to cafés, hotel bars, small bistros, delis and snack counters where counter space is at a premium and service demands are moderate rather than continuous. If you are unsure whether it is the right fit for your operation, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The BAR 2000 is well suited to moderate, intermittent snack service rather than sustained high-volume output across a full day. For operations running continuous throughput — a busy café at peak hours, for example — a heavier-duty unit with a larger cooking surface is likely a more practical long-term fit. If you are unsure where your demand sits, it is worth talking through your typical service patterns before committing.
- The infrared quartz elements produce notably less smoke and odour than conventional contact grills, which makes the BAR 2000 more tolerant of placement in open or front-of-house settings. That said, adequate general ventilation in the area is still advisable, particularly in enclosed spaces or rooms with low ceilings. A full extraction canopy is not typically required for light snack use, but your local environmental health requirements should always be checked.
- Yes — the top and bottom quartz elements operate independently, so the unit can function as a contact grill with both elements active or as a top-heat salamander using the upper element alone. This gives operators a degree of flexibility depending on what is being prepared, without needing a separate piece of equipment for each application.
