🍽️ Kitchen Refurbishment – Crowborough Social Club

From Domestic-Style to Fully Commercial: A Kitchen Upgrade for a Busy Community Venue

🎉 Client Overview: Crowborough’s Community Hub

Crowborough Social Club is at the heart of town, and therefore it serves as a busy venue for social events, private parties, and community gatherings. Because the old kitchen was small and outdated, staff struggled to work efficiently, so the club needed a new professional kitchen. Consequently, they asked us to help, and we were happy to take on the project.

🔧 Project Brief: Practical & Compliant Kitchen Upgrade

The club wanted a kitchen that could handle frequent use, and thus it had to meet safety rules. Therefore, our goals were to replace domestic fixtures with strong commercial units, and at the same time, we planned to install a safe extraction system to improve air quality. Moreover, we aimed to upgrade surfaces for hygiene and easy cleaning, and in addition, we added modern, energy-saving appliances to increase efficiency.

🛠 Work Done & Key Features

💨 Extraction System

First, we removed the old extraction system, and then we installed a new canopy with gas interlock for safety. At the same time, we fitted extract and make-up air systems to manage heat and fumes, so the kitchen is now safe and comfortable for staff. Because of these upgrades, the ventilation works efficiently, and therefore, staff can focus on cooking without distraction.

🧼 Hygienic Surfaces

Next, we laid Altro non-slip flooring to make the kitchen safer, and at the same time, we installed Bioclad wall panels that are easy to wipe and clean. As a result, the kitchen is hygienic, and additionally, it is easy to maintain. Because the surfaces are durable, staff can work faster, and moreover, the kitchen stays compliant with health regulations.

⚡ Electrical & Plumbing

After that, we upgraded the wiring and plumbing so that the new appliances could operate safely, and at the same time, we ensured everything met current regulations. Consequently, the kitchen is fully compliant, and because the systems are modern, maintenance will be easier in the future.

🍳 Kitchen Appliances

We supplied a commercial dishwasher for fast, hygienic washing, and in addition, we installed Gram fridges and freezers that save energy. Moreover, we chose space-saving units to make the kitchen more efficient, and as a result, staff can work faster, and the workflow is smoother. Because the equipment is reliable, it supports both daily meals and larger community events.

🌟 Outcome

The full strip-out and redesign finished in 10 days, so disruption to club activities was minimal. Meanwhile, the new ventilation keeps staff comfortable, and at the same time, the durable floors and walls make cleaning simple. Therefore, the kitchen now supports small meals as well as large events, and consequently, the venue can operate efficiently under all conditions.
