Catering Fryers for Commercial Kitchens

Choosing a Catering Fryer

Select countertop catering fryers for smaller kitchens, cafés, and mobile catering operations — compact single or twin-tank models with 5–20 litre capacities that sit directly on your worktop. Choose freestanding commercial fryers for continuous high-volume service: larger oil capacities, faster heat recovery, and built-in filtration to extend oil life in busy fish and chip shops and restaurants.

Match your fuel type to your kitchen setup. Electric fryers offer precise temperature control and simple installation with standard 13-amp plugs or hard-wired options. Natural gas fryers deliver rapid heat recovery and lower running costs where mains gas is available. LPG gas fryers run on bottled propane or butane — ideal for mobile catering and sites without mains gas. Browse our dedicated LPG gas fryers collection for portable and van-mounted models.

Twin-tank fryers allow you to cook different foods at different temperatures simultaneously, essential for allergen management and continuous service during peak periods. Single-tank models suit dedicated operations where one food type dominates.

Complete your frying setup with a chip scuttle to keep chips warm and crispy between cooking and service. For versatile grilling alongside frying, see our commercial griddles.

Looking for a reliable twin-tank electric fryer? The Lincat DF66 delivers 24kg of chips per hour with independently controlled tanks — perfect for pubs and restaurants.
