Black Rock Grill is a concept that allows customers to take control of their own meal by cooking it themselves at the table. The food is cooked at high temperature on a volcanic rock, which itself has been heated to over 440 degrees Celsius /824 Fahrenheit in a specially designed and purpose-built oven.

Since its launch in 2005, over 30,000 Black Rock Grill systems have been installed worldwide.
Around 8000 are in the UK with the rest in USA, India, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Romania, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Nigeria, India, Costa Rica, Australia, Singapore, Canada, France, Greece, Malta and 38 other countries.

Many Black Rock Grills are in stand-alone restaurants (including Japanese, Korean and Indian) but they are also in hotels, pubs, golf clubs, nightclubs, bowling alleys, food courts and on cruise ships and passenger ferries.

Cruise Lines, Silverseas and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines are giving cruise passengers a Black Rock Grill option on many of their cruise ships.

We are a family business, Black Rock Grill was started in 2005 by Debbie & Peter Hatter. Prior to setting up Black Rock Grill, we operated hotels, restaurants and pubs in many worldwide locations where we had the opportunity to formulate their ideas into the present concept.

We are particularly keen to ensure that operators of Black Rock Grill have equipment that is ‘fit for purpose’ and certified to be safe for employees and customers under all working conditions.

The answer to that is no, but we do recommend that you speak to your insurance broker. In our experience insurers put Black Rock Grill cooking the same category as they do a sizzling cast iron skillet which is served superheated and can also cause a burn if touched.

Absolutely, the Black Rock Grill concept is very family friendly. When you buy a system we include table talkers and flags which tell the customer not to touch the hot rock to ensure everyone can enjoy hot rock dining safely.
Kids do love the experience of cooking on our Black Rock Grill's. We recommend that you think about and introduce a child policy.
You should certainly make sure that parents and guardians are aware that Black Rock Grill meals are served on a super hot rock and that there is the potential that if the rock is touched then they will likely get a burn.
No two kids are the same; some do what they are told, some forget what they are told and some are totally belligerent and will not do what they are told.
Please ensure you include your Child policy in all your staff training so your entire crew is able to advise your customers & guests.
