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 — single-phase (13-amp plug) or three-phase hard-wired options available. Natural gas fryers deliver rapid heat recovery and lower running costs where mains gas is available, making them the preferred choice for high-volume restaurants and fish and chip shops. LPG gas fryers run on bottled propane or butane, suitable for kitchens without a mains gas supply.

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.
