🍽️ The White Horse – Commercial Kitchen Design and Refurbishment in Boughton-under-Blean
Creating a Modern, Efficient Kitchen for Shepherd Neame’s New Hotel
Located in the peaceful village of Boughton-under-Blean, The White Horse offers a perfect base for exploring the stunning Kent countryside, the coastal town of Whitstable, and the historic city of Canterbury.
When long-time clients Natalie and Andrew, who also own other properties in Whitstable (previously refurbished by Kent Commercial Kitchens), decided to open a new hotel, they turned to us to design and refurbish the commercial kitchen. Working alongside Shepherd Neame, we were excited to help bring their vision to life.
🔑 Scope of Work
Our task was to create a modern, efficient kitchen from a previously outdated space. The new kitchen needed to be both functional for daily service and versatile enough to handle a variety of menu options. We focused on using high-quality, energy-efficient appliances while creating a hygienic and spacious environment for the kitchen team.
🛠️ Kitchen Refurbishment and Design
To transform this old-fashioned trade kitchen into a bright, spacious working area, we installed Bioclad hygienic wall cladding throughout the space. This cladding is designed to be easy to clean and maintain, ensuring the highest hygiene standards are met.
A new suspended ceiling grid was also added to improve lighting and make the space feel more open. These upgrades not only enhance the kitchen’s appearance but also contribute to a better working environment for the staff.
🍳 New Cookline and Appliances
The heart of the kitchen is the Blue Seal cookline, which includes a range of appliances selected for their durability and efficiency. This high-performance cookline ensures the kitchen can handle the demands of a busy hotel kitchen while providing top-quality meals.
Additionally, we installed True refrigerated appliances, known for their energy efficiency and reliable temperature control. To complete the setup, Maidaid warewashing machines were installed to support the smooth operation of the kitchen, ensuring dishes are cleaned quickly and efficiently.
🎉 Outcome and Impact
With the new kitchen in place, The White Horse is now ready to open its doors in May 2022. The combination of modern appliances, hygienic surfaces, and efficient layout will ensure that the hotel can serve guests high-quality meals in a timely manner while maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.
We wish Natalie and Andrew all the best as they begin this exciting new venture, and we are proud to have been a part of it.
