Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pro: The quartz lamps offer instant, direct heat, preventing food from drying out.
  • Con: It must be factory-fitted, so it cannot be added on later.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Griffin's Head, a bustling gastro-pub in Bristol, was struggling with bottlenecks at the pass during their peak Sunday service, leading to delays and  some dishes not reaching customers hot enough.

"Our Sunday service was chaos. Dishes were waiting, and  the kitchen couldn't keep pace with the front of house. The Lincat overshelves gave us the breathing room we needed. Now, plates go out hot, every time, and  the whole operation is calmer."

David Chen – Head Chef

Since installation, The Griffin's Head has smoothed out its service flow, reducing customer complaints about cold food to zero and  speeding up table turnover by 15% on Sundays.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit is factory-fitted, so it arrives professionally attached to your new Lincat hot cupboard.
  • Ensure the main hot cupboard is placed on a completely stable, level surface before operation.
  • Connect the hot cupboard to a suitable power supply as detailed in the Lincat user manual.
  • Take a moment to familiarise your kitchen team with the independent lamp controls for the overshelves.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft, damp cloth and  a food-safe cleaner.
  • Always allow the quartz lamps to cool down completely before you attempt to clean them.
  • Periodically check the lamp elements for any signs of damage or failure and  replace if necessary.
  • Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch and  damage the finish.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Heated Gantry

Not sure which heated display is right for your pass? Here are a few things to consider.

Size and  Tiers

Think about your peak service volume. A two-tier model like this one doubles your holding capacity in exactly the same footprint, which is a huge win for compact kitchens.

Heat Source

Quartz lamps provide instant, direct heat for plated meals. Other options like ceramic elements offer a gentler, more diffused warmth. Choose based on what you're holding.

Pass-Through or Wall-Mounted?

Is your pass in the middle of the kitchen (pass-through) or against a wall? This determines the gantry style you need to ensure staff can access it easily.

Controls

Independent controls for each tier give you more flexibility, allowing you to run just one shelf during quieter periods to save energy and  reduce running costs.

Integration

Check compatibility. Gantries like this are specifically designed to be factory-fitted to their matching base units for guaranteed stability, safety, and  a seamless look.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for smooth, high-grade stainless steel surfaces without awkward crevices. It will make your end-of-service clean-down much quicker and  easier.

What's the Deal with Quartz Lamps?

Ever wondered why some heated gantries keep food succulent while others turn it into cardboard? The secret is often the heat source. These overshelves use quartz heat lamps, which are completely different to a standard heat bulb that just warms the air. Quartz lamps use infrared energy to heat the food directly and  instantly.

Think of it like the difference between sitting in a stuffy, warm room versus standing in the direct sunshine on a cool day. The sun’s rays (infrared) warm you up directly and  instantly, without just heating the air around you. That's what these lamps do for your food—they deliver focused heat that keeps the dish hot without stewing it or turning your Yorkshire puddings to stone. It’s a faster, more efficient way to maintain quality.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants

    Keep main courses perfectly warm during a hectic dinner service, ensuring every table gets a hot meal.

  • Hotel Kitchens

    Ideal for managing room service orders or holding plated dishes for large function room events.

  • Carveries and  Pubs

    A must-have for the Sunday roast pass, keeping plates of meat and  veg at the perfect temperature.

  • School or University Canteens

    Streamline the serving line by holding plated meals ready for the inevitable lunchtime rush.
