Expert Review and Insights
The Modena GG65HR really nails the brief for kitchens that are short on space but big on ambition.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →
- Top Marks For: The dual controls are a huge plus for efficiency during service.
- A Point to Note: Its mild steel plate needs proper seasoning to perform at its best.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Kitchen, a popular eatery in Norwich, needed to upgrade its ageing griddle to cope with increasing demand for its breakfast and lunch menu. They were limited on counter space but wanted to offer more grilled options like paninis and chicken burgers.
"The Modena GG65HR was the perfect fit. The split plate means we can have the breakfast items going on the flat top while searing chicken for lunch specials on the ribbed side. It’s made our service so much more efficient and our customers love the new additions."
Emma Richardson – Owner
The new griddle helped them expand their menu, contributing to a 30% increase in lunchtime takeaway orders.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Installation must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Connect to your chosen gas supply using the correct hose and regulator (not supplied).
- Before first use, season the mild steel plate: clean it, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, and heat it for 15-20 minutes.
- Position the unit on a stable, level, and non-combustible surface with plenty of ventilation.
Keeping It Going
- After each use, scrape the plate clean while it's still warm to easily remove food residue.
- Regularly empty and wash the front-facing grease collection tray to maintain hygiene.
- After cleaning, wipe a thin coating of oil over the mild steel plate to protect it from rust.
- Arrange an annual service with a Gas Safe engineer to keep it operating safely and efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main advantage of a half-ribbed griddle?
A: It gives you total flexibility, allowing you to use a flat surface for items like eggs and pancakes, and a ribbed one for searing steaks and burgers, all on one unit.
Q: Is this griddle ready for Natural Gas?
A: It is supplied configured for LPG (bottled gas) but comes with the necessary conversion jets for a Gas Safe engineer to switch it to Natural Gas.
Q: What is the cooking plate made from?
A: It features a heavy-duty mild steel plate, which is known for its excellent heat distribution and retention properties.
Q: Does the mild steel plate need seasoning?
A: Yes, it is essential to season the plate before its first use and to re-apply a thin layer of oil after cleaning to build up and maintain a non-stick surface.
Q: Can I set two different temperatures?
A: Absolutely. It has two independent controls, one for each half of the griddle, so you can cook different foods at their ideal temperatures simultaneously.
Q: How wide is the ribbed section of the cooking plate?
A: The ribbed cooking area is 275mm wide, giving you plenty of space for searing multiple items at once.
Q: Is a gas hose included?

Ever find yourself wishing you had two different types of grill but only have space for one? That's the exact problem a half-ribbed plate solves. Think of it as having two specialist pans built into one machine. One side is completely flat, perfect for things that need even contact, like fried eggs, pancakes, chopped veg, and smashed burgers. The other side has raised bars, like a traditional barbecue. This is for getting those beautiful, professional-looking sear marks on steaks, chicken breasts, and paninis, while also allowing excess fat to drain away into the collection tray. It’s a simple but incredibly clever design that doubles your cooking options without taking up a single extra centimetre of precious counter space.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cafés & Brunch Spots: Perfect for sizzling bacon and eggs on the flat side while grilling tomatoes on the other.
- Pubs & Bars: Ideal for a 'Steak Night' menu, searing burgers and steaks with perfect grill marks.
- Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: The robust build and LPG option make this a reliable choice for cooking on the go.
- Small Restaurants & Bistros: A great space-saver, this heavy duty gas griddle half ribbed adds grill capacity without needing a huge charbroiler.
