🍳 Commercial Kitchen Design & Installation – The Ridge Golf Club, Kent ⛳

Location: Kent
Sector: Hospitality | Leisure | Golf & Events

🏌️‍♂️ Project Overview: New Kitchen Build

The Ridge Golf Club, recently bought by Jack and Sophie, wanted a new kitchen, so they commissioned us to design and build one at the opposite end of the clubhouse. Therefore, we replaced the old kitchen, which was to be decommissioned, and at the same time, we planned the new space to serve multiple purposes. Furthermore, the kitchen needed to be versatile because it had to handle the daily à la carte menu, while also supporting evening functions in the upcoming ballroom and function room. Consequently, we balanced daily efficiency with flexibility for larger events. In addition, we coordinated closely with the club owners to ensure the kitchen met both immediate and long-term needs.

🔧 Overcoming Key Challenges: Gas Supply Installation

The existing gas supply had to be diverted over 50 metres through a loft above a busy call centre, so we carefully planned each step. Therefore, we scheduled early morning sessions to minimise noise during business hours, and additionally, we coordinated with the call centre to avoid disruption. Moreover, we prepared the route and pipework in advance, which meant installation could proceed smoothly. Consequently, the new barrel gas pipework was installed successfully, and the kitchen switchover could happen without impacting daily operations.

🧼 Hygienic & Safe Kitchen Build

The client provided a newly built studwork and plasterboard room as the shell, so we started with essential preparations to ensure a safe working environment. Next, we installed Bioclad UPVC hygienic wall cladding, because it is durable, easy to clean, and supports long-term hygiene. Furthermore, we laid Altro slip-resistant flooring to improve safety in a high-traffic kitchen. In addition, we fitted a 5-metre commercial extraction canopy equipped with an Ansul fire suppression system, ensuring full compliance with safety regulations. Therefore, the kitchen now meets hygiene, safety, and operational standards, while also remaining practical for daily use.

🚰 Plumbing, Equipment Supply & Installation

We completed the plumbing installation carefully, so the kitchen’s water and gas supply would operate reliably, and moreover, we ensured all systems were ready for the new appliances. Furthermore, we supplied and installed a full range of professional kitchen equipment, because the club required a versatile setup. For example, we added a walk-in cold room to provide ample storage, while simultaneously creating a dedicated pizza preparation area to expand menu options. In addition, we installed a comprehensive cookline featuring Blue Seal and Rational appliances, which allows the staff to prepare high-quality meals efficiently. Consequently, the kitchen now supports both everyday service and large events with ease, and at the same time, it gives staff a safe and organised working environment.

✅ Successful Delivery: On Time & On Budget

We finished the project on schedule, so the club could use the kitchen immediately, and at the same time, we kept within the agreed budget. Furthermore, we completed all works efficiently, which meant the owners could plan their operations without delay. Consequently, Jack and Sophie were delighted with the upgraded kitchen, because it now fully supports daily operations, while also allowing for future growth and events. Additionally, the kitchen provides flexibility for menu changes and seasonal adjustments.
