Chargrills
Chargrills deliver consistent, high-heat cooking for steaks, chops, vegetables, and fish. Whether you choose gas lava stone or electric ribbed surfaces, these units maintain even temperature distribution across the cooking area—essential for busy à la carte services and high-cover seatings.
Available in tabletop and freestanding formats, from 1.6 kW single-element units to 18 kW multi-zone grills, you'll find capacity to match your kitchen's output and space constraints.
Chargrills use lava stone or ribbed surfaces to sear and grill proteins and vegetables at high temperature. Suit restaurants, steakhouses and gastropubs needing consistent char marks and flavour. Choose between gas (9–18 kW) or electric (1.6–4.8 kW) depending on your utility infrastructure and volume.
When selecting a chargrill, evaluate your fuel availability (gas or electric), daily cover count, and menu focus. Gas lava stone models recover heat quickly between service rushes, whilst electric options offer precise temperature control and easier cleaning. Consider width—600 mm suits smaller kitchens; 700 mm accommodates higher volume.
Tabletop units fit counters with undercounter storage; freestanding models work where floor space permits and allow staff access from multiple sides. Compare power output (kW) to your peak service demand, and check delivery lead times across Ireland and EU locations.
