Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Dragon's Head pub in Conwy, North Wales, found their existing grill was struggling to cope with the summer tourist rush, leading to longer ticket times. They upgraded to the Parry UGC8P to increase their capacity and  consistency.

"The Parry is an absolute beast. It heats up in no time and  the heat is so even, our burgers and  steaks have never been better. It’s cut our grill times down significantly and  the team loves how simple it is to clean at the end of a long night."

David Williams – Head Chef at The Dragon's Head

The upgrade resulted in a 30% reduction in grill-related ticket times during peak service, allowing them to turn tables faster.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the grill is sited on a stable, level, and  non-combustible surface.
  • Installation must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Check for adequate ventilation as per commercial kitchen regulations.
  • Before first use, season the grill grates by lightly oiling and  heating them gently.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the grill grates with a wire brush after every service while still warm.
  • Empty and  clean the fat collection tray daily to prevent build-up.
  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Schedule an annual service with a qualified engineer to check all gas components.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Chargrill

Finding the perfect chargrill can be tricky. Here are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you get the right fit for your kitchen.

Gas Type and  Power

Make sure you choose between natural gas and  LPG based on your kitchen's supply. Check the total kW power to ensure it can handle your expected volume.

Size and  Footprint

Measure your space carefully! Consider both the width for cooking capacity and  the depth to ensure it fits on your counter or stand with safe clearance.

Burner Control

Look for models with independent burner controls. This allows you to create different heat zones for cooking multiple types of food at once.

Ease of Cleaning

Features like removable drip trays, stainless steel construction, and  shielded burners will save your team a huge amount of time and  effort every day.

Build Quality

A heavy-duty grill made from high-grade stainless steel will withstand the knocks of a busy kitchen and  prove a better long-term investment.

Why Shielded Burners Are a Chef's Best Friend

Ever wondered what 'shielded burners' actually do? It's a simple but incredibly effective piece of engineering. On a standard chargrill, fat, marinade, and  food debris can drip directly onto the gas jets, causing them to clog up or creating sudden, uncontrolled flare-ups that can burn your food. Shielded burners have a small, angled piece of metal—like a tiny roof—positioned just above the gas ports.

Think of it like a rain gutter for your grill. This shield catches the drips and  channels them away, while still allowing the heat to radiate upwards perfectly. This means the jets stay clean for longer, you get far more consistent heat without cold spots, and  you drastically reduce the risk of flare-ups. It’s a small detail that saves you big headaches with cleaning and  maintenance, ensuring your commercial LPG chargrill performs reliably day in, day out.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Steakhouses & Grill Restaurants: This heavy duty gas chargrill is perfect for achieving that signature sear and  flavour on prime cuts of meat.
  • Gastropubs & Inns: Ideal for elevating your pub classics like burgers and  grilled chicken for a discerning crowd.
  • Mobile Catering & Event Planners: A reliable and  powerful unit for serving up quality grilled food at festivals and  events.
  • Hotel Kitchens: A versatile addition for room service menus, restaurant service, and  function catering.
