Commercial Refrigeration

In a commercial catering environment refrigeration equipment has to withstand a greater level of use, larger storage capacity and meet tougher food safety standards than domestic fridges and freezers.

Commercial Fridges

Commercial fridges will often be used in very hot kitchens - they must be capable of rapid cooling (usually fan-assisted) and be robust enough to allow constant door opening and closing. Some fridges have visible temperature display to allow the chef to monitor food safety at a glance.

Gram and Foster are leading suppliers of premium professional fridges for the commercial environment, with speciality models catering for the temperatures and storage conditions needed for say, meat and fish.

Commercial Freezers

Commercial freezers offer high performance and strength of build required in a commercial kitchen - stainless steel being a popular finish as it is easy to clean and durable.

Chest Freezers are large capacity top opening units, whereas you may prefer a full height upright fridge or freezer to avoid unnecessary bending and stooping.

Chilled and cooled display units are essential front of house equipment for visual merchandising and cold storage of food and drink products – caterstop.com offers a wide range of wine and bottle coolers for pubs, bars and restaurants; patisserie and serve over counters to display cakes, sandwich fillings and salads in cafes and delicatessens; and multideck display units which can be useful for displaying soft drinks in a canteen or newsagents.
