Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Hotel in Torquay needed to upgrade their plate warming solution ahead of the busy summer season. Their existing static hot cupboards were causing inconsistencies, with some plates being too hot and  others lukewarm, impacting the dining experience.

"The Lincat Panther 670 hot cupboard has been brilliant. The fan ensures every single plate comes out at the perfect temperature, even when we're fully booked. Service is smoother, and  the kitchen team has more confidence during the rush. It’s a proper piece of British engineering."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The upgrade led to a noticeable improvement in service efficiency, with the kitchen able to plate up and  send out large table orders 20% faster.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the unit on a flat, level surface capable of supporting its weight (124.5kg).
  • Ensure there's a gap of at least 10cm around the unit for proper air circulation.
  • Before first use, wipe the interior and  shelves with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Simply plug into a standard 13-amp socket and  use the digital display to set your desired temperature.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe up any spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth to prevent them from baking on.
  • For a thorough clean, switch off the power and  allow the unit to cool completely.
  • The doors and  shelves can be removed for easy access and  deep cleaning in a sink.
  • Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to keep the exterior looking professional.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Hot Cupboard

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? It's about more than just size. Here are a few key things to consider when choosing your next hot cupboard.

Capacity vs. Covers

Think about your busiest service. A good rule of thumb is to choose a GN capacity that can handle at least half of your total covers at once.

Fan-Assisted or Static?

For consistent results and  eliminating cold spots, fan-assisted is always the superior choice, especially for holding both plates and  delicate food.

Measure Your Space (Twice!)

Check your dimensions carefully, not just for the final location but also for every doorway and  corridor it needs to pass through during delivery.

Door Type

Sliding doors, like on this model, are fantastic for tight spaces as they don't swing out into busy walkways.

Power Requirements

Does it need a standard 13-amp plug or a special hardwired connection? Always check this against your kitchen's available power outlets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this unit cook food from raw?

A: No, this is a hot holding cupboard designed to keep pre-cooked food and  plates at a safe and  consistent serving temperature. It is not an oven.

Q: How many plates can the Lincat P6P5 hold?

A: While its primary rating is 10 x 1/1 GN pans, the plate capacity depends on the size and  style of your plates. It is designed for very high volume service.

Q: Is the fan noisy during operation?

A: The fan is designed for commercial kitchen environments and  operates at a low hum, which is generally not noticeable in a busy kitchen.

Q: Are the internal shelves adjustable?

A: Yes, the unit comes with two shelves that can be placed in four different shelf positions, giving you flexibility for holding different sized pans or containers.

Q: How do I clean the sliding door tracks?

A: The doors are designed to be easily removed, which gives you clear access to the tracks for simple and  thorough cleaning.

Q: What is the benefit of a double-skinned design?

A: Double-skinned construction acts like insulation, trapping heat inside the unit. This makes it more energy-efficient and  keeps the exterior cooler to the touch.

Q: What kind of power socket does this require?

A: It comes fitted with a standard UK 13-amp plug, so you can plug it straight into a regular socket without needing an electrician.

Q: Can I use this for holding cold food?

A: No, this is a heated cabinet only. For cold holding, you would need a refrigerated or ambient unit.

Even Heat, Every Time: Why Fan-Assisted Heating Matters

Ever wondered why some hot cupboards leave you with lukewarm plates at the back and  scorching ones at the front? It's usually because they rely on static heat, where the heating element just warms the air inside. A fan-assisted system, like the one in this Lincat P6P5 hot cupboard, completely changes the game. Think of it like the difference between a standard oven and  a fan oven for your Sunday roast; the fan actively circulates the hot air, ensuring it reaches every nook and  cranny. This means every plate and  every dish, whether it's at the front, back, top or bottom, is held at the exact same, consistent temperature. It's a simple feature that eliminates guesswork and  guarantees quality.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Large Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for holding plated meals and  side dishes during the busiest dinner rushes.
  • Carveries & Buffet Venues: Keeps a huge number of plates and  dishes consistently hot for self-service lines.
  • Event & Mobile Caterers: A reliable hub for keeping food at a safe, servable temperature at any venue.
  • Contract Caterers (Schools/Hospitals): High-capacity holding ensures smooth meal service for large numbers of people at set times.
