Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →
- Pros: Serious hob power combined with a surprisingly agile base thanks to the castors.
- Cons: The top burners require manual lighting, which can slightly slow workflow during prep.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Waggon & Horses pub in Sheffield needed to upgrade their ageing cooker, which was struggling to keep up with their renowned Sunday lunch service and causing delays.
"Our old range was letting us down during peak service. The Buffalo CT253 gives us the power and capacity we need to serve roasts without a single delay. The kitchen team is thrilled with its performance and how easy it is to clean."
Clare Davies – Head Chef
Since installation, the pub has successfully increased its Sunday roast covers by 30% without compromising on quality or speed.

The Buffalo Promise: Power and Durability for the Real World
Beyond the impressive power ratings and dimensions lies the core reason so many UK kitchens choose Buffalo: unwavering reliability. This commercial 6 burner gas oven range is engineered with a philosophy of 'performance over pretence'. There are no complex digital screens or delicate components that could fail during a hectic Saturday night service. Instead, you get robust manual controls, heavy-duty construction, and raw power that you can count on. This straightforward design translates directly into long-term business value, meaning fewer emergency call-outs and lower maintenance costs over the appliance's lifespan.

Explore more from BuffaloFlexible Fuel: How the Gas Conversion Kit Works for You
Ever wondered what 'dual fuel compatible' really means? This Buffalo oven range comes with a gas conversion kit included as standard. Think of it like having a phone that can use a SIM card from any network. The oven is supplied with two sets of small brass nozzles, or 'jets'. One set is for Natural Gas (the mains supply that's piped into your building), and the other is for LPG, or Propane (the gas that comes in bottles).
During installation, your Gas Safe registered engineer will simply fit the correct jets for your kitchen's gas supply. This gives you fantastic flexibility. If your business is in a rural spot without a mains connection, you can run it on bottles. If you move premises, you're not stuck with an appliance you can't use. It’s a simple feature that makes this stainless steel 6 burner range a much smarter, more adaptable long-term investment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants: The six burners and large oven are essential for handling demanding à la carte services with ease and speed.
- Gastropubs & Inns: An ideal gas range oven for restaurant service, perfect for producing hearty Sunday roasts and a full pub menu simultaneously.
