🍻 The Royal Naval Reserve – Galley Kitchen Refurbishment in Whitstable

🏖️ A Seaside Pub with History

The Royal Naval Reserve sits in the heart of Whitstable, so it enjoys a prime seaside location. Therefore, it attracts both locals and visitors. Consequently, Shepherd Neame asked us to redesign the kitchen. At the same time, we had to ensure hygiene standards were met. Moreover, the kitchen needed to handle a more varied menu. Finally, we had to respect the listed building regulations. As a result, we carefully planned every step of the refurbishment.

🔧 Scope of Work

First, we assessed the old kitchen layout, and then we discussed improvements with the client. Next, we planned the refurbishment, while simultaneously coordinating the upgrade of the extraction system. After that, we installed new equipment. At the same time, we ensured regulatory compliance. Finally, we completed the finishing touches. Therefore, the kitchen now works efficiently and remains safe to use.

🌬️ Redesigning Kitchen Extraction

Since the pub is in a listed building, we had to redesign the extraction system carefully. Meanwhile, we ensured compliance with local planning rules and modern standards. Therefore, we included noise and odour control measures. As a result, the system reduces the impact of kitchen emissions. Once the extraction was installed, we moved on to gas and plumbing works. Consequently, the kitchen was ready for the next phase of refurbishment.

🍳 Installing Modern Kitchen Equipment

After the extraction system was in place, we installed Blue Seal cooking equipment. At the same time, we added Gram fridges, stainless steel benches, and sinks. Because these items are durable, the kitchen now works smoothly. Moreover, staff can prepare a wider menu. In addition, the workflow is better. Therefore, meals are ready faster, and hygiene standards are high.

🎉 Outcome and Impact

As a result, the pub now offers a broader menu. At the same time, guests enjoy a better dining experience. Moreover, cleaning is easier because of modern equipment and hygienic surfaces. In addition, the upgraded extraction system works quietly and efficiently. Consequently, the surrounding area experiences minimal disruption. Meanwhile, the kitchen remains comfortable and safe for staff.
