Commercial Fridges, Freezers, and Everything Else

If your establishment serves refreshments then you will already know the value of a good ice machine. If you run a bar that serves cocktails, then machines that produce quality flaked ice or unique shaped ice are a dream for your staff. Equally, quality cubed ice is available as a traditional means of keeping drinks cool. This can be especially important for champagne bars where ice buckets are more frequently used.

Our ice machines include a number of recognisable brands such as Foster and Hoshizaki and can produce up to 300kg of ice per 24 hours. These products are also likely to save money compared to some other brands as they use natural refrigerants such as R290, meaning they require less energy to run.

We also supply a range of commercial freezers from brands such as Foster, William, Hoshizaki and Gram. Commercial refrigeration is extremely important for catering as safe food storage is essential for service. Commercial fridges and freezers are designed to cope with the rigours and harshness of the commercial kitchen.

Blast chillers and freezers are available to chill hot food down to refrigerator temperatures within the industry standard 90 minute guideline, with the blast freezers capable of continuing to bring the food down to -18 degrees. This reduces the risk of bacterial spread as well as improving the quality of food when reheating.
