Synergy Grill Technology – Like No Other

Synergy Grill is the UK’s leading name in commercial cooking technology, transforming the grill market with its patented fat atomising system. Designed and manufactured in Britain, Synergy grills are trusted by chefs and operators worldwide who demand exceptional performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability in their kitchens.

Synergy gas models reduce energy use by 60%, while our electric range saves 25% – delivering immediate savings from day one. This cutting-edge technology ensures faster cooking, enhanced flavour, and juicier results, all while significantly lowering running costs. By atomising fat during cooking, the grill removes the need for fat trays, reducing mess, improving yield, and intensifying natural flavours.

Synergy also creates a healthier, cooler, and more pleasant working environment by drastically reducing smoke and heat. Kitchen extraction systems benefit too, with up to a 50% reduction in cleaning service calls due to decreased grease build-up.

A powerful ally for sustainable foodservice, Synergy Grill helps cut your kitchen’s carbon emissions by over 12 tonnes annually – making it the responsible choice for forward-thinking operators looking to reduce their environmental impact without compromise.
