Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Pheasant, a busy gastropub in Harrogate, needed to streamline their incredibly popular Sunday carvery service, which was causing bottlenecks in the kitchen and  queues for customers.

"The Lincat P6B5 bain marie hot cupboard has completely sorted out our service flow. We can hold everything perfectly – roasts, veg, sauces – and  the plates are always warm. It’s reliable, efficient, and  our customers have noticed the difference in speed and  quality."

Mark Taylor – Head Chef

The pub was able to reduce plating time by an average of 30% during peak Sunday service, leading to happier customers and  a less stressed kitchen team.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is placed on a perfectly level and  stable floor to guarantee safe operation.
  • This unit requires a dedicated 5.2 kW single-phase electrical supply; consult a qualified electrician for installation.
  • For wet heat operation, fill the bain marie well with water to the indicated level before switching on.
  • Allow the unit to fully heat up to the desired temperature before loading it with food or plates for best results.

Keeping It Going

  • Always disconnect the unit from the mains power supply before starting any cleaning tasks.
  • Use the internal drain tap to safely empty the bain marie after each service.
  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  a food-safe mild detergent.
  • Remove the doors and  shelves periodically to give the interior a thorough deep clean and  maintain hygiene standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Hot Holding Equipment

Struggling to decide on the best hot holding solution? Here are a few things to consider.

Capacity is Key

Think about your busiest service. The P6B5's 5 GN top and  10 GN cupboard is perfect for high-volume carveries or buffets.

Wet or Dry Heat?

Wet heat is gentler for delicate sauces, while dry heat offers convenience. This model gives you the flexibility to choose.

Don't Overlook Airflow

Fan-assisted cupboards, like this Panther 670 series hot cupboard, provide even heating, preventing cold spots and  ensuring food safety.

Measure Your Space

Check your doorways! At 672mm deep, the Panther 670 series is designed to fit through standard commercial door openings.

Think About Cleaning

Removable shelves, doors, and  an easy-drain tap will save your team valuable time at the end of a long shift.

It's the key to consistent quality across your entire service.
