The project:
To create a kitchen to supply
affordable and healthy eating to the residents of Blakenall,
Walsall as part of the Blakenall Village Centre part of a major
regeneration project offering healthcare, leisure,
conference/training facilities and resident support services. The
kitchens should be designed to double up as training kitchens for
community based healthy cooking courses.
The result:
Design and installation of the
kitchens was carried out by BETTAquip Foodservice Solutions using
equipment from the Electrolux Professional range.
To make it suitable for a dual
training/production kitchen role the central island suite comprises
two identical sides of Electrolux 700 line modular cooking
equipment combining open gas burners, solid top and twin basket
fryers. The cooking island finishes with a pair of Electrolux Air
OSteam combi ovens that use steam to cook food faster and with
lower nutritional losses than conventional ovens. Backing one side
of the island is a conveniently positioned preparation area with
refrigerated counters that provide cold storage immediately below
the work surface. Cabinet refrigeration and a dishwashing system
have also been installed by BETTAquip.
Centre piece of the restaurant is an
Electrolux servery that that combines hot and cold display with a
cooking zone equipped with an induction wok for theatre style
cooking directly in front of the customer.
The response:
Head chef Andrew
Blakemore:
"This is the best equipped kitchen
that I have had the opportunity to manage the layout and facilities
are fantastic. The designer obviously put a lot of thought into the
ergonomics of actually working in the kitchen and everything is
just where I want it. I particularly like the way that there is
always a work surface close at hand wherever I am working on the
cooking suite and the refrigerated drawers below the work surfaces
come in really handy. I plan to repay this investment with the
equally good food that the kitchen deserves."
