Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The King's Head, a bustling gastropub in Shrewsbury, was struggling with inconsistent food temperatures during their popular Sunday carvery service. They invested in the Lincat P6B2 to replace two older, less reliable static units.

"The difference is night and  day. Service is so much smoother now. Everything from the roasties to the cauliflower cheese is held perfectly, and  the bain marie for our gravy and  sauces is spot on. Our customers have even commented on how hot the food is."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since installation, The King's Head has increased their Sunday service speed by over 25% and  significantly reduced their food waste from items falling below temperature.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is positioned on a firm, level surface before use.
  • Before plugging in, check the 13 amp socket is suitable and  easily accessible.
  • Allow the hot cupboard and  bain marie to pre-heat for at least 30 minutes before service.
  • If using for wet heat, fill the bain marie well with water, making sure not to overfill.

Keeping It Going

  • Always switch off and  unplug the unit from the mains before cleaning.
  • Wipe down all internal and  external stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Drain and  clean the bain marie well after every use to prevent limescale build-up.
  • Regularly check that the door seals are clean and  creating a good seal to maintain efficiency.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Hot Cupboard

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a commercial hot cupboard with bain marie.

Capacity & GN Sizing

Think about how many covers you do. Check the Gastronorm (GN) capacity for both the cupboard and  the bain marie to ensure it meets your peak service demands.

Power Requirements

Does it need a standard 13 amp plug or does it require hardwiring by an electrician? A plug-and-play unit like this offers maximum convenience.

Footprint & Access

Measure your kitchen space carefully! Check the unit's dimensions, especially the depth, to ensure it will fit through your doorways and  into its final position.

Static vs. Mobile

Will the unit stay in one place or do you need to move it for events or cleaning? If you need mobility, look for models fitted with castors.

Wet or Dry Heat

A unit that offers both wet and  dry heat for the bain marie provides the most menu flexibility, allowing you to hold everything from crispy potatoes to delicate sauces.

What Customers Are Saying

"A proper workhorse. We use it for our breakfast buffet and  it hasn't missed a beat. The fan in the cupboard keeps plates toasty and  the bain marie is a lifesaver."

"Really well-built piece of kit. It holds temperature accurately and  the slim design meant we could get it into our kitchen easily. Wish it came with the GN pans, but that's a minor point."

Why a Fan-Assisted Cupboard Makes All the Difference

You might see 'fan-assisted' and  think it's just a minor detail, but for a hot cupboard, it’s crucial. Without a fan, heat simply rises from the element at the bottom, creating hot and  cool spots. This means plates at the bottom get scorching hot while those at the top are lukewarm. A fan actively circulates the hot air around the entire cabinet, just like a modern convection oven. This guarantees that every single plate, from top to bottom and  front to back, is held at the exact same, consistent temperature. It's the difference between serving a reliably hot meal every time and  a game of 'hot plate roulette' for your customers.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Carveries

    An essential for keeping roast meats, vegetables, and  gravy at the perfect serving temperature during a busy Sunday service.

    Perfect for buffet breakfasts, holding everything from scrambled eggs to sausages, and  for event catering in function rooms.

  • Event & Mobile Caterers
