Nestled in the picturesque heart of Stratford upon Avon, the Stratford Riverside Project presented a unique challenge. We were commissioned to design a versatile kitchen catering to its restaurant, bar, and conference facilities while harmonising with the project's distinct architecture and location.

To craft a high-performing kitchen and bar infrastructure that blends modern culinary needs with the aesthetic and structural intricacies of a building situated on the flood plain of the River Avon.

1. Prime Cooking Facility:

• Our equipment suite encompassed the efficient Mareno range, versatile Lainox combi ovens, durable Pitco fryers, a Lincat chargrill and salamander, and a Moorwood Vulcan range specifically for pan tasks.

2. Safety and Extraction:

• Prioritising safety, we installed a comprehensive extraction canopy complemented by an Ansul fire protection system.

3. Ware Washing and Storage:

• The ware wash section boasts Comenda's top-tier AC2 rack machine.
• Cold storage solutions are ample, featuring a dedicated walk-in freezer and chiller.
• Stainless steel fabrication, adding a touch of resilience and elegance, was supplied by E&R Moffat.

4. Bar Facilities:

• The trio of bar zones are equipped with Hobart Ecomax glasswashers, an efficient IMC bartender system, reliable Maidaid ice machines, and spacious Husky bottle fridges. Beverage needs are further met by a Lincat hot water boiler and dual Animo bean-to-cup coffee machines.
