Top pick: Campingaz Othello 1 CV – Highest score: 4.6 from 426 reviews, 27 UK reviews in the raw file, and matching 2.8 kW figures. Best value: ROVSUN G68000167 two-burner griddle – About £74.99, two burners, and a regulator named in the included-components field. Updated 16.10.2026.
A gas griddle is a flat plate heated by its own gas burners, sold in the UK as a gas griddle or a plancha. You buy one for breakfast, vegetables, fish, or burgers on a patio or a table, without fat falling through a charcoal grate. A usable listing names the plate and a gas fitting you can match to a UK cylinder or a cartridge.
The cart is 23.4 kg and 98.5 cm tall. Hob pans, electric teppanyaki plates, grate inserts, and a plate that only sits on another stove are not this product.
Burners, fitting, lid, and weight are in the [gas griddle buying guide](/hub/portable-grills/gas-griddle/sub/gas-griddle-buying-guide).
Fat stays on the plate or runs to a drain. It does not fall through a charcoal grate.
A plate for another stove, an insert for a barbecue grate, a cast-iron hob pan, and an electric teppanyaki plate were removed from this set.

The Campingaz Othello 1 CV is a single-burner 2.8 kW tabletop, 39 x 66 x 20 cm and 10.5 kg, with a 30 x 45 cm enamelled plate listed at £159.99. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 426 reviews, and the raw file holds 27 United Kingdom reviews, the largest UK sample in this set. Reviewers use it for camping, a small patio, the beach, and a caravan, and several say it cooks well for two, with heat you can turn down. The bullets name a Campingaz CV 470 Plus cartridge that is not included, at 204 g/h, and say the hose, regulator, and ignition batteries are supplied, while the components field lists only the user manual. One review says a cartridge lasted about 30 minutes, and another reports hot spots that burn meat. It is the top pick when you already buy that cartridge and want the best-documented griddle here. Skip it for a crowd, a long cook on one cartridge, or a patio-gas bottle, which the listing does not specify.
Pros
4.6 from 426 reviews, with 27 UK reviews in the raw file
Pre-assembled, and 2.8 kW matches the 2,800 W field
Enamelled 30 x 45 cm plate and a rear grease drain
Electronic ignition, with batteries mentioned in the bullets
Cons
CV 470 Plus cartridge is not included
One review reports about 30 minutes from a cartridge
Single burner, so one heat zone
One reviewer found hot spots, and another missed a barbecue taste because food never meets the flame
Best for: Two people, camping or a small patio, if you will pack spare CV 470 Plus cartridges
Less suitable: A crowd, a long cook on one cartridge, or anyone who wants the listing to specify a patio-gas bottle
Campingaz CV 470 Plus. The bullets say the cartridge is not included. Consumption in the bullets is 204 g/h.
Is the regulator included?
The bullets say the hose and regulator are included. The included-components field says the user manual. Both are recorded.
Can the listing’s fuel be read as a patio-gas bottle?
The listing specifies the CV 470 Plus cartridge. One UK review describes removing the supplied regulator and connecting a 5 kg patio-gas bottle. That is a review, not the specified fuel.
The ROVSUN G68000167 is a two-burner propane tabletop, 39.1 x 43.9 x 16 cm and 7.1 kg, listed at £74.99. The included-components field names the griddle, a regulator, and a manual, the only box list here that states a regulator. Reviewers describe fast heat, and two burners even enough for a breakfast or burgers. The wattage field says 4.8 kW, while the bullets say 10,000 BTU per burner and 20,000 BTU with both on, up to 400°C, and those figures are not reconciled. Five United Kingdom reviews in the raw file, against a listing of 4.5 from 98, say eggs, bacon, and onions stick until the enamel tray is seasoned, and that the flat plate leaves grease on the food even with the drain hole. It is the best value if you want the lightest propane unit here and you will season the plate first. It is the wrong row if you need the heat figures to agree, or a lid.
Pros
Two propane burners on a 7.1 kg tabletop
Regulator named in the included-components field
About £74.99, the only listing under £100
UK reviews describe fast heat for breakfast and burgers
Cons
Field says 4.8 kW; bullets say 20,000 BTU
Food sticks until the enamel tray is seasoned
Flat plate leaves grease on the food despite the drain hole
Regulator pressure and cylinder thread are not stated
Best for: A patio or camping table where you want two burners, a listed regulator, and you will season the enamel tray
Less suitable: Anyone who needs one agreed heat figure, a named cylinder fitting, or a lid
What fuel and regulator does the ROVSUN listing specify?
The title says propane. Included components are the propane griddle, a regulator, and an instruction manual. Pressure and the cylinder thread are not stated. A gas cylinder is not listed.
Do the heat figures on the listing agree?
The wattage field says 4.8 kW. The bullets say 10,000 BTU per burner and 20,000 BTU with both, and up to 400°C. Those figures are all on the listing. They are not reconciled.
Why do the UK reviews mention sticking?
The raw file has five United Kingdom reviews. They say eggs, bacon, and onions stick until the plate is seasoned, and that the plate is flat, so grease sits on the food even with a drain hole.
The Onlyfire PGL300 is the lidded two-burner plancha at a stated 4.7 kW, 52.7 x 35 x 37.5 cm and 17.9 kg, listed at £189.99. The included-components field lists a lid and a thermometer, which the open Onlyfire at £139.99 does not. Twenty United Kingdom reviews, on a listing of 4.5 from 55, say it gets hot, stays hot, and cleans up if you stay on top of it. One review calls the plate large enough for a full English for two or for steaks and burgers, and a camping review mentions meals for 14 people over a weekend. The same file includes a cut finger from a sharp edge, and plastic on the control buttons wearing after four uses. Gas family, pressure, and ignition are not named, and a hose or regulator is not in the components field. The lid is the reason to pay the extra £50, and the weight plus the unnamed fitting are the reasons to leave it.
Pros
Lid and thermometer are in the included-components field
4.5 from 55 reviews, with 20 UK reviews in the raw file
Stated 4.7 kW, with the same plate size in the bullets as the open Onlyfire
UK reviews describe steady heat and straightforward set-up
Cons
17.9 kg, and several reviews call it heavy
Sharp edges, including one cut finger
Control-button plastic wore after four uses, in one review
Gas family and regulator are not listed
Best for: A patio where you want a cover and a gauge, and the unit can stay near the table
Less suitable: A carry to a pitch, or a buyer who needs the listing to name the gas fitting
What does the lid listing add over the open Onlyfire?
The included-components field says a lid and a thermometer. Stated power is still 4.7 kW, and the bullets still say 17.9 x 14.5 inches. Weight is 17.9 kg against 15.5 kg on the lid-free listing, and the price is £189.99 against £139.99.
Is a gas cylinder included?
No. A hose, regulator, or cylinder is not in the included-components field. The fuel field says gas, without a family, pressure, or fitting.
What problems show up in the UK reviews?
The raw file has 20 United Kingdom reviews. They include sharp edges, with one cut finger, and one report of plastic on the control buttons wearing after four uses. Several reviews also call it heavy.
The BIG HORN SRGG41620 is a four-burner tabletop plancha, 43.5 x 73 x 24 cm and 16 kg, listed at £179.00 with 10 kW in the wattage field. The bullets describe piezo ignition, an enamelled plate, stainless steel burners, and a grease drip tray. The listing line is 4.4 from 100 reviews, but the raw file contains one United Kingdom review, which calls it a great bit of kit, beside thirty reviews from other countries. A Netherlands review describes arrival damage and no discount on a return, and that report is not a UK defect in this file. The fuel field is empty, and a hose, regulator, or cylinder is not among the included components. A rank in Propane Grills is Amazon’s shelf, not a data plate. Four zones help only if you already know which cylinder the plate accepts, and the cooking area itself is not stated.
Pros
Four burners and a 10 kW field on a tabletop
Piezo ignition and a grease drip tray in the bullets
Enamelled plate claimed in the bullets, and a PTFE-free field
4.4 from 100 reviews on the listing
Cons
Fuel type is blank, and a regulator is not in the box list
One UK review in the raw file, so the 100-review line is not a UK sample
Cooking area is not stated
Arrival damage appears in a non-UK review, with no UK pattern to compare
Best for: A large patio table if you already know which cylinder and regulator the plate accepts
Less suitable: A first gas griddle, or anyone who needs the listing to name propane or butane
The title says four burners. The wattage field says 10 kW. The bullets mention piezo ignition and a grease drip tray.
Which gas does the listing name?
The fuel field is empty. The best-sellers rank sits in Propane Grills. That is Amazon’s shelf, not a data-plate statement. A hose and regulator are not in the included-components field.
How many UK reviews are in the raw file?
One. It calls the griddle a great bit of kit. A Netherlands review describes arrival damage. That is not a UK defect in this file. The listing total is 4.4 from 100 reviews.
The Buffalo CR886 is a three-burner outdoor griddle listed at £178.79, 47 x 63 x 24 cm and 16.3 kg, with a title cooking area of 630 x 360 mm. Ten United Kingdom reviews, on a listing of 4.2 from 29, praise the heat, the responsive controls, and the space for burgers, chicken, and onions. A scout-group reviewer treats four of them as kit for larger groups, and a longer-term review mentions easy cleaning. The title says 7.5 kW LPG and stainless steel, while the wattage field says 2,560 watts and the material field says alloy steel. The same UK reviews repeat brittle legs that snap in the same place, including a second unit for one reviewer, plus a short gas hose and a dent on arrival that the buyer kept. A regulator appears in one bullet, not in the included-components field, which says griddles. Take it only if the plate size is the point and you can live with both power figures and the leg reports.
Pros
Three burners and a 630 x 360 mm area in the title
UK reviews describe strong, controllable heat for a group
A longer-term review mentions easy cleaning
One bullet says a regulator is included
Cons
Title says 7.5 kW; the wattage field says 2,560 W
Legs snap, in more than one UK review
Lid, stand, ignition, and grease drain are not stated
Title says stainless; the material field says alloy steel
Best for: A static group cook where the 630 x 360 mm plate is the point and you will check the legs
Less suitable: A portable weekend, or anyone who needs one agreed kilowatt figure
The title says 7.5 kW. The wattage field says 2,560 watts. Both figures are on the listing, and they do not match.
Is a regulator included?
One bullet says a regulator is included. The included-components field says griddles. A gas cylinder is not listed. Pressure and the cylinder fitting are not stated.
What do the UK reviews say fails?
The raw file has 10 United Kingdom reviews. The repeated defect is legs that snap. One reviewer re-tapped a leg thread and found the gas hose a bit short. Another kept a unit that arrived with a dent.
The Onlyfire two-burner tabletop is a 4.7 kW plancha at £139.99, 52.7 x 35 x 29.4 cm and 15.5 kg, with foldable legs. The bullets describe an iron plate with a ceramic coating and a removable grease collector, while the material fields say stainless steel. Seven United Kingdom reviews, on a listing of 4.0 from 10, say it cooks evenly and cleans faster than a typical barbecue, including a fry-up. One of those reviews praises a hose and regulator in the box and says only the legs need bolting down, but the included-components field lists tongs and a manual, not a hose. The same reviews call it too heavy to carry to a friend’s barbecue, and one reviewer would trolley it from a shed. The fuel field says gas without naming a family, and ignition is not stated. At this price you get a wide coated plate, a thin review sample, and a 15.5 kg lift.
Pros
Stated 4.7 kW across two burners
UK reviews mention even heat and easier cleaning than a grate barbecue
Foldable legs and a removable grease collector
One UK review reports a hose and regulator in the box
Cons
15.5 kg, and reviewers would not carry it to another garden
Gas family and ignition are not named
Hose and regulator are absent from the included-components field
4.0 from only 10 reviews
Best for: A garden table that stays put, if you want the open plate rather than a lid
Less suitable: A carry to a pitch or a friend’s house, or anyone who needs a named UK fitting on the listing
No. The title and the included-components field do not list a lid. That field lists tongs and a user manual.
Is a regulator listed in the box?
The included-components field does not list a hose or regulator. One UK review says a hose and regulator were in the box. That is a review, not the field.
How heavy is it?
15.5 kg. Assembly is required. UK reviews call it too heavy to carry to a friend’s barbecue, and one says it would need a trolley from a shed.
The Onlyfire three-burner plancha on a cart is a 7 kW free-standing unit, 88 x 40 x 98.5 cm and 23.4 kg, listed at £249.99. The bullets describe a foldable cart with wheels, a side shelf, twist-start ignition, a lid, and a grease hole with a rear collector, and one bullet names a propane tank and a regulator. It is not a tabletop you set on a camping table. The listing is 3.2 from 11 reviews, the lowest in this set, and the raw file has three United Kingdom reviews. One says the hotplate pitted and rusted, and the frame rusted, within a year, and another calls the casing around the pipes and valves cobbled. Assembly is required, and the warranty field says not applicable. Camping in the bullets fights a 98.5 cm cart, so this is the row to skip unless you specifically want wheels and will accept that review record.
Pros
Three burners at a stated 7 kW, with a lid
Wheeled cart and side shelf described in the bullets
315 square inches claimed, and 22.5 x 14 inches in the bullets
Propane and a regulator named in a bullet
Cons
3.2 from 11 reviews
A UK review reports pitting and rust within a year
23.4 kg and 98.5 cm tall, so it is a cart rather than a carry
Pipe and valve casing criticised in a UK review
Best for: A patio that needs a wheeled stand, after you have checked the propane fitting yourself
Less suitable: Camping, a first plancha, or anyone treating 3.2 from 11 as a reason to pay about £249.99
No. The dimensions are 88 x 40 x 98.5 cm and the weight is 23.4 kg. The bullets describe a foldable cart with wheels. Assembly is required.
What gas does the listing name?
One bullet says a propane tank and a gas regulator. Pressure and the UK fitting are not stated. The included-components field lists the lid, not a cylinder.
What do the UK reviews say about durability?
The raw file has three United Kingdom reviews. One reports the hotplate pitted and rusted, and the frame rusted, within a year. The listing rating is 3.2 from 11 reviews.

Gas griddle buying guide
Choose the gas the listing names, then whether the heat figures agree, then the weight and the plate. A lid matters only where the box list includes one. Prices below are the seven amazon.co.uk shelves on 15 October 2026.
What is a gas griddle?
A gas griddle is a flat plate heated by burners that belong to the appliance. In UK shops it is also called a plancha. Fat stays on the plate or runs to a drain. It does not fall through a charcoal grate. People use one for breakfast, vegetables, fish, and burgers on a patio or a camping table.
The appliance has to be the griddle. A plate for another stove, an insert for a barbecue grate, a cast-iron hob pan, and an electric teppanyaki plate were removed from this set.
Best for
Two people on a patio or a pitch, if you will pack spare CV 470 Plus cartridges
A table where two propane burners and a listed regulator matter more than a lid
A patio that can take a heavier plate, once you have checked the gas fitting yourself
Not ideal for
A crowd, or a long cook on one cartridge
A carry of a 15 kg tabletop to a pitch or a friend’s garden
Indoor use, a piped-in supply, or a buyer who needs the listing to show UKCA or BS EN 484
Mistakes to avoid
1
Buying an accessory plate
A gas griddle in this set has its own burners. A plate that only sits on a Campingaz Camp Bistro, a grate insert, a cast-iron hob pan, and an electric teppanyaki plate were left out. The appliance is the griddle.
2
Trusting the word portable
The lightest full unit is the ROVSUN at 7.1 kg. The open Onlyfire is 15.5 kg, and UK reviews say they would not carry it to a friend’s barbecue. The cart is 23.4 kg and 98.5 cm tall. Portable on a 15 kg title is a word.
3
Quoting one heat figure when the listing prints two
The Buffalo title says 7.5 kW and the wattage field says 2,560 W. The ROVSUN field says 4.8 kW and the bullets say 20,000 BTU. Both stay. Averaging them would hide the listing you are about to buy. A regulator belongs in the box list only when that field names it.
What to weigh up
Gas supply and stated heat
High
Start with the fuel the listing names, then the regulator field, then the heat line. Propane and patio gas, butane, and a Campingaz CV 470 Plus cartridge are different supplies. Liquid Gas UK Sheet 39 gives 37 mbar for propane and patio gas, and 28–30 mbar for butane. A green Calor patio-gas bottle uses a 27 mm clip-on. If the included-components field does not name a regulator, a review or a single bullet is not the box list. The ROVSUN field names a regulator.
Weight, plate, and lid
High
The lightest full unit is the ROVSUN at 7.1 kg. The Othello is 10.5 kg and the listing calls it pre-assembled. From there the weights jump: the open Onlyfire is 15.5 kg, the Buffalo 16.3 kg, the BIG HORN 16 kg, and the PGL300 17.9 kg. UK reviews on the open Onlyfire say they would not carry it to a friend’s barbecue. The cart is 23.4 kg and 98.5 cm tall, with wheels. A camping line in the bullets does not make that cart a carry.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
⛺️
Two people, camping or a small patio
You already buy Campingaz CV 470 Plus cartridges and you want the best-documented plate in this set. The Othello is 10.5 kg, pre-assembled, and rated 4.6 from 426 reviews. Pack spare cartridges. One review reports about 30 minutes from a cartridge.
You want two burners under £100 and a regulator named in the included-components field. The ROVSUN is 7.1 kg at about £74.99. Season the enamel tray first. The wattage field says 4.8 kW and the bullets say 20,000 BTU.
You want a cover and a thermometer, and the unit can stay near the table. The Onlyfire PGL300 lists both, at a stated 4.7 kW, about £189.99 and 17.9 kg. The gas family and the regulator are not in the components field.
The top pick in this set is the Campingaz Othello 1 CV, about £159.99, with 4.6 from 426 amazon.co.uk reviews and 27 United Kingdom reviews in the raw file. It is a single 2.8 kW burner, and that figure matches the wattage field. The listing names a CV 470 Plus cartridge, which is not included. It suits two people if you will pack spare cartridges. It is the wrong row for a crowd, or for a patio-gas bottle, which the listing does not specify.
How much does a gas griddle cost in this set?
On these seven amazon.co.uk shelves, captured on 15 October 2026, prices run from about £74.99 to about £249.99. The ROVSUN is about £74.99, the only listing under £100. The mid band is about £139.99 to about £189.99. The Onlyfire cart is about £249.99. These are shelf prices for this set only. A cartridge or a cylinder is extra wherever the included-components field does not list one.
What should I check on the listing before I buy?
Check the gas the listing names: propane, patio gas, butane, a CV 470 Plus cartridge, or a blank fuel field. Check whether a regulator is in the included-components field, not only in a review or a single bullet. If two heat figures disagree, keep both. Then read the weight. A 15 kg tabletop is not a casual carry, and the cart is 23.4 kg. Amazon’s Propane Grills rank is not a data plate.
What gas pressure does a UK cylinder use?
Liquid Gas UK Sheet 39 gives 37 mbar for propane and patio gas, and 28–30 mbar for butane. A green Calor patio-gas bottle uses a 27 mm clip-on. The regulator has to match the cylinder and the pressure on the instructions. None of these seven listings prints that pressure. A rank in Propane Grills does not name the gas. A fixed pipe into a building is a Gas Safe job, not a tabletop setup.
Can I use a gas griddle indoors?
No. Liquid Gas UK guidance, which says the Health and Safety Executive was consulted, is not to use a barbecue indoors, even on butane. Store propane outside. Keep cylinders upright and ventilated, not in cellars and not beside doors or drains. If someone has used a griddle indoors and feels unwell, treat that as an emergency. None of these listings is a reason to cook in a tent, a caravan awning, or a kitchen.
Is a gas griddle the same as a tabletop gas barbecue?
No. A gas griddle cooks on a flat plate. A tabletop gas barbecue cooks on a grate, so fat falls through. This page keeps appliances that have their own burners under the plate. A grate insert, a hob pan, and an electric plate are out. If you want a grate rather than a plancha, use the tabletop gas BBQ comparison. The prices and review lines there are a different set.
Which of these gas griddles include a lid?
Two listings include one. The Onlyfire PGL300 lists a lid and a thermometer, at about £189.99 and 17.9 kg. The Onlyfire three-burner on a cart lists a lid, at about £249.99 and 23.4 kg. The open Onlyfire at about £139.99 does not list a lid. The Othello and the ROVSUN do not list one either. The Buffalo lid line is blank. A lid is a cover. It does not add a stated kilowatt.
Why do some listings show two heat figures?
The Buffalo title says 7.5 kW and the wattage field says 2,560 W. The ROVSUN wattage field says 4.8 kW and the bullets say 10,000 BTU per burner and 20,000 BTU with both burners on. Both figures are on the listing. They are not reconciled, and they are not averaged on this page. The Othello is the row where 2.8 kW matches the 2,800 W field. Buy the figures you can see, not a blend of them.
Our verdict
The Campingaz Othello 1 CV is the top pick: 4.6 from 426 amazon.co.uk reviews, 27 United Kingdom reviews in the raw file, and a 2.8 kW figure that matches the wattage field. It is for two people who will pack spare CV 470 Plus cartridges. The ROVSUN G68000167 is the best value at about £74.99, with two burners and a regulator in the included-components field, held back because the field says 4.8 kW and the bullets say 20,000 BTU. The Onlyfire cart at about £249.99 is the row to skip if 3.2 from 11 reviews and a UK rust report are reasons not to pay that price.
Best overall
Campingaz Othello 1 CV
Highest score: 4.6 from 426 reviews, 27 UK reviews in the raw file, and matching 2.8 kW figures.
