Commercial LPG Gas Fryers — Propane & Butane Models for Mobile Catering

Commercial LPG fryers run on propane or butane, making them ideal for mobile catering vans, food trucks, outdoor events, and any kitchen without a mains gas supply. Unlike natural gas models, an LPG gas fryer connects directly to a gas cylinder—giving you the flexibility to fry anywhere.

We stock 60+ countertop and freestanding LPG fryers from leading brands including Blue Seal, Lincat, Infernus, and Parry. Prices start from £299 ex VAT. Choose from single or twin tank configurations with capacities from 8L up to 41L per tank.

All models meet UK safety standards. For commercial installation, work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified in LPG equipment. Our fryers hold valid CE certification. Free UK mainland delivery available on all orders.

Choosing the Right LPG Gas Fryer for Your Business

An LPG gas fryer offers the flexibility to operate anywhere without a mains gas connection. Whether you run a mobile catering van, food truck, or outdoor event stand, propane and butane fryers deliver the same high-temperature performance as natural gas models — you just need a cylinder and a Gas Safe registered LPG installer.

Our range includes over 60 models from Blue Seal, Lincat, Infernus, Parry, and Imperial. Tank capacities range from compact 8L countertop units to heavy-duty 41L freestanding fryers. All equipment meets UK safety standards and holds valid CE certification.

Countertop vs Freestanding LPG Fryers

Countertop models (single or twin tank) suit mobile catering where space is limited. They typically use 8-23L tanks and connect to standard 13kg propane cylinders. Freestanding fryers with larger 30-41L tanks are ideal for higher-volume operations like festival catering or busy food trucks.

Installation and Safety Requirements

All LPG gas fryers must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer with LPG qualifications. Unlike natural gas, LPG requires specific pressure regulators and flexible hoses designed for propane or butane. Never attempt DIY installation — it’s illegal and dangerous.

Check your fryer’s gas type compatibility. Most models run on propane, but some support butane or dual-fuel. Always match the regulator to your cylinder type. We provide full installation manuals with every purchase.

Running Costs: LPG vs Natural Gas

LPG costs approximately 7-10p per kWh vs 3-4p for natural gas. For a busy fryer running 6 hours daily, expect £15-25 per week in propane costs. However, the portability often outweighs the price difference — you can set up anywhere without infrastructure.

Single tank models use less gas during slow periods. Twin tank fryers let you fry different products simultaneously, increasing efficiency during peak hours.
