Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Rosie's Riverside Kitchen' in York needed to upgrade their ageing griddle, which suffered from inconsistent heating and couldn't cope with their booming weekend brunch trade.
"The difference is night and day. The Parry PGG7 holds its temperature perfectly across the entire surface, meaning no more shuffling food around to find a hot spot. Our breakfast service is smoother and the food quality is spot on every single time."
David Chen – Head Chef
The kitchen has successfully reduced its average breakfast ticket time by over 20% during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Installation must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level, and non-combustible countertop.
- Allow for adequate ventilation around the unit as per UK regulations to ensure safety and performance.
- Before the first use, season the griddle plate with a thin layer of cooking oil and heat it to create a non-stick surface.
Keeping It Going
- After each service, scrape the griddle surface while it is still warm to remove food debris.
- Empty and thoroughly clean the removable fat drainage drawer daily to maintain hygiene.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a suitable cleaner.
- Arrange for an annual service and safety check with a Gas Safe engineer to keep it in peak condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this griddle be run on LPG gas?
A: Yes, the Parry PGG7 can be configured for LPG. This conversion must be performed by a qualified Gas Safe engineer at the time of installation.
Q: What is a flame failure device?
A: It's a vital safety feature that automatically shuts off the gas supply if the pilot light is accidentally extinguished, preventing dangerous gas leaks in your kitchen.
Q: How thick is the cooking plate?
A: This professional gas griddle for restaurants features a heavy-duty 7mm thick steel plate, which provides excellent heat distribution and retention.
Q: Is the fat collection tray easy to clean?
A: Absolutely. It comes with a fully removable fat drainage drawer at the front, designed for quick and hassle-free emptying and cleaning.
Q: How is the griddle lit?
A: It uses a simple and reliable push-button Piezo ignition, which means you don't need matches or a separate lighter to get it started.
Q: What is the benefit of thermostatic control?
A: It allows you to set and maintain a precise cooking temperature. This ensures your food is cooked consistently every time, without hot spots or burning.
Q: Is this model suitable for a mobile catering van?
A: Yes, its robust build and powerful performance make it an excellent choice for mobile caterers, provided you have the correct commercial gas installation and ventilation.
Q: How should I 'season' the griddle plate?
A: Before first use, clean the plate, then apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat the griddle to around 150°C for 15-20 minutes. Let it cool and wipe away excess oil. This creates a natural non-stick surface.

Explore more from ParryWhy Thermostatic Control Gives You Perfect Results
Ever wondered what 'thermostatic control' really means for your cooking? Think of it like cruise control for your griddle. Instead of just having a 'low, medium, high' flame, you set an exact temperature (say, 180°C for pancakes). The griddle then cleverly manages the gas flow, firing up to reach that heat and then easing off to maintain it perfectly. This completely removes the guesswork, stops you from scorching food during a rush, and ensures everything from a delicate egg to a thick steak is cooked at the ideal, consistent temperature from start to finish. It’s the secret to repeatable, reliable results.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bustling Cafés: Perfect for handling the morning rush, cooking bacon, eggs, and pancakes with reliable, even heat.
- Traditional Pubs: Ideal for searing gourmet burgers, steaks, and onions to perfection for classic pub grub menus.
- High-Volume Takeaways: A robust unit that effortlessly keeps up with constant orders for breakfast baps, kebabs, and burgers.
- Farm Shops & Deli Kitchens: Great for cooking fresh local produce for hot sandwiches and cooked breakfast offerings.
