🏖️ Kitchen Refurbishment – Deal Pier Kitchen

A New Era for an Iconic Seaside Venue on the Historic Deal Pier

👥 Client Overview: Reviving a Coastal Landmark

Deal Pier Kitchen is at the end of Deal’s famous 1950s pier, so it is a well-known Kent landmark. Because it had been closed for over a year, new owners Tim and Rebecca wanted to reopen it, and therefore they needed a modern kitchen. Moreover, we had previously worked on the site, so we could plan the refurbishment faster and with fewer risks. In addition, our familiarity allowed us to anticipate challenges, and consequently we saved time and avoided delays.

🎯 Project Brief: A Fresh Start for a New Concept

Tim and Rebecca wanted a kitchen that was modern and efficient, so it could serve many customers quickly. At the same time, they needed a safe and clean space, and therefore we carefully designed the layout and finishes. Furthermore, the pier location required extra planning, so we could fit equipment safely into the unusual space. Because of this, we coordinated logistics closely, and as a result, the project proceeded smoothly.

🛠️ Scope of Work & Key Features

💨 Commercial Extraction & Fire Safety

We first installed a new extraction canopy, and at the same time added an Ansul fire suppression system, so the kitchen met safety regulations. Consequently, the kitchen is now safe and compliant, and at the same time ready for high-volume service. In addition, this step allowed subsequent work to proceed without safety concerns, and therefore other installations could happen quickly.

🧼 Hygienic & Durable Finishes

Next, we fitted Bioclad uPVC wall cladding for hygiene, and additionally laid Altro slip-resistant flooring for staff safety. Moreover, we installed a wipe-clean ceiling, so the kitchen is bright, safe, and easy to maintain. Because of these finishes, cleaning is simpler, and at the same time daily operations are more efficient.

🍳 Professional-Grade Equipment

We supplied Blue Seal and Rational cooking appliances, Foster refrigeration, and a Maidaid dishwasher, and then installed everything to ensure smooth workflow. As a result, the kitchen can handle large volumes, and at the same time maintain fast and consistent service. Furthermore, each appliance was commissioned with staff training, so the team could operate efficiently from day one.

🚚 Unique Logistics: The 350-Metre Challenge

All heavy equipment had to be carried 350 metres along the pier, so careful planning and teamwork were essential. Consequently, the installation went smoothly, and at the same time all equipment arrived safely and on schedule. Additionally, this planning allowed us to coordinate the timing of other trades, and therefore the entire project stayed on track.

🌟 Project Outcome: A Modern Kitchen with a View

The finished kitchen works well under heavy footfall, and therefore supports freshly prepared, locally inspired menus. Moreover, the hygienic surfaces make cleaning simple, and at the same time the fire and safety systems protect staff and guests. Because of these improvements, Deal Pier Kitchen is now safe, efficient, and welcoming, and additionally it provides a reliable and high-performance environment for daily service.
