🍽️ The Britannia Inn – Kitchen Redesign for a Unique Coastal Pub in Dungeness

The Britannia Inn is a much-loved pub and restaurant, famous for its traditional fish and chips and hearty home-cooked dishes. Situated just a two-minute stroll from the beach and nestled within the beautiful Dungeness estate—a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest—this pub benefits from an extraordinary location and a loyal customer base. Its close proximity to the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch miniature railway means a fast, efficient kitchen was essential to cater to visitors with tight schedules.

🔑 Scope of Work: Complete Kitchen Redesign & Refurbishment

Working closely with our trusted client Shepherd Neame, landlord Richard, and his dedicated team, we undertook a full kitchen redesign to:

• Increase efficiency and capacity

• Replace ageing equipment with modern, energy-saving models

• Create a versatile space able to serve both locals and tourists alike

🛠️ Kitchen Redesign Highlights

Energy-Efficient Cold Room

We replaced the outdated walk-in cold room with a modern, energy-efficient unit, providing larger storage capacity and reducing operating costs while maintaining top food quality.

Heavy-Duty Cooking Line

The kitchen was fitted with a robust Blue Seal cooking line, renowned for reliability and high performance—ideal for handling peak service times and diverse menu demands.

Pizza Offering & Versatile Menu

To meet the needs of miniature railway visitors who require quick meals, a dedicated pizza area was introduced alongside the pub’s classic fish and chips. This expanded menu appeals to a broader audience and supports year-round trade.

Well-Defined Kitchen Zones

A clear layout with distinct cooking, pizza preparation, dishwashing, and food prep areas enhances workflow efficiency, enabling staff to work swiftly and cohesively.

🎉 Outcome & Impact

The revamped kitchen has transformed operations at The Britannia Inn by improving food prep speed and capacity during busy periods. The new menu options, including pizzas, have broadened the pub’s appeal without sacrificing the charm of its classic British seaside heritage.
