Counter Fridges
Counter fridges are worktop-height refrigerated cabinets used for general chilled storage beneath a prep surface, common across pubs, cafes, hotels and dark kitchens needing accessible cold storage that doubles as bench space. Unlike prep counters, most counter fridges use plain shelving rather than a GN pan gantry, making them suited to general storage rather than active prep work.

Counter Fridges — FAQs
How is a counter fridge different from a refrigerated prep counter?
Counter fridges are general chilled storage with a worktop above, typically using plain shelves, while refrigerated prep counters add a GN pan gantry on top specifically for holding prepped ingredients during active service.
What door count suits a busy pub kitchen’s counter fridge needs?
A small pub might manage with a single or double door counter fridge (200-650 litres gross), while busier kitchens with more stock to hold near the pass often step up to triple or four-door units.
