Flambé trolleys – Flambé trolleys are the guéridon-type units used to finish dishes in front of the guest: a stable frame with a heat-resistant worktop, one or two gas burners, a compartment for the gas bottle or cartridge, drawers or shelves for cutlery and plates, and lockable castors. The specification is driven by the number of burners, the burner control, the worktop material and the service style of the restaurant.
In your enquiry, indicate the number of burners, the gas cartridge or bottle type you use, the finish required and whether integrated storage is needed. Burner output, worktop dimensions, frame material and castor specification are listed in the technical data of each item.
Flambé trolleys: procurement considerations
- Burner configuration: One burner is sufficient for individual portions; two allow parallel preparation during busy service.
- Gas supply: Check whether the model runs on cartridges or on a bottle in the base, and how that compartment is ventilated.
- Worktop heat resistance: Stainless steel and stone tops withstand direct pan contact and repeated cleaning better than coated surfaces.
- Stability and mobility: A low centre of gravity, braked castors and a rigid frame matter when working with an open flame beside guests.
Frequently asked questions about this category
What should be checked before the burner is lit?
Confirm that the gas connection has been leak-tested, that the compartment is ventilated and that the castors are locked.
Can a flambé trolley be used for cold preparation?
Yes, many units double as a general guéridon for carving, filleting or salad preparation when the burners are not in use.
