More about this project
🍽️ The Tiger Inn – A Stunning Country Pub with a Modern Gastro Kitchen
Blending Contemporary Comfort with Classic Charm
Nestled in the picturesque village of Stowting, The Tiger Inn is a quintessential country destination pub that offers a perfect mix of contemporary design and traditional charm. With its original features and quirky additions, this beautifully reformed pub provides an inviting atmosphere for guests to unwind and enjoy high-quality gastro food.
Having worked with the client on previous projects, we were thrilled to be invited back for this repeat business and tasked with creating a commercial kitchen that would meet the demands of the pub’s newly refurbished space.
🔑 Scope of Work
Our project at The Tiger Inn involved the design and build of a commercial kitchen that would seamlessly support the pub’s gastro food menu while maintaining the comfort and style of the venue. We faced several challenges along the way but were able to deliver a functional, stylish kitchen that perfectly complemented the rest of the pub.
🛠️ Overcoming Challenges
The key challenge on this project was the kitchen’s extraction system, which needed to be installed in a space with a low ceiling height and awkward beams. We engineered a solution by designing and installing a low-level extraction canopy or eyebrow canopy, ensuring that smoke, steam, and odors were effectively vented without disrupting the design of the kitchen. A fire suppression system was also installed to meet safety regulations and provide peace of mind.
🍳 New Commercial Kitchen Setup
Once the extraction system was successfully installed, the next step was to fit the kitchen with high-quality commercial kitchen equipment. We chose appliances that were durable and efficient, including:
-
Blue Seal cooking equipment: A reliable and heavy-duty cookline, including ovens, hobs, and ranges, all designed to withstand the rigours of a busy gastro kitchen.
-
Rational combi oven: A versatile cooking appliance that allows for precise and efficient cooking, perfect for a varied gastro menu.
-
True refrigeration: Energy-efficient and reliable refrigeration units for chilled and frozen storage, ensuring that ingredients are always kept at the perfect temperature.
-
Maidaid glasswasher: To ensure clean glasses are always ready for service in the bar area.
-
Scotsman ice machine: Installed in the bar to provide a steady supply of ice for drinks and cocktails.
🎉 Outcome and Impact
With the new kitchen in place, The Tiger Inn is fully equipped to deliver an exceptional dining experience to guests. The combination of high-quality equipment, a well-designed kitchen layout, and the unique character of the pub has made The Tiger Inn a standout destination in Stowting.
We look forward to visiting the pub as customers and wish the team every success in their newly refurbished space.
