🍺 The Rose in June – Historic Pub Kitchen Refurbishment

Trade Kitchen Design and Build for Shepherd Neame’s 19th-Century Pub

The Rose in June, dating back to the mid-19th century, has long been a local favourite and a charming stop for those passing through on their way to the nearby Winter Gardens. Situated in a bustling residential area, this historic pub offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, drawing both regulars and new guests alike.

🔑 Scope of Work

Our work at The Rose in June involved a complete design and build of a new trade kitchen. Despite the challenges of working within a small space, we carefully planned the kitchen to create an efficient and functional working environment.

🛠️ Early Planning and Local Authority Approval

Our involvement began well before the main contractor started work on-site. Due to the nature of the project and the location of the pub, we had to secure approval from the local planning authority for the new kitchen’s extraction system.

We assisted with the planning application by conducting a background noise survey, which was essential in addressing the potential concerns of nearby residents. Our team also completed the extraction design and building elevations to ensure compliance with local regulations.

As the pub is located in a mixed residential area, the planners required us to incorporate both noise and odour control measures to maintain harmony with the surrounding community.

🍳 Trade Kitchen Design and Build

Custom Extraction Canopy & Ductwork

After securing planning approval, we installed a custom extraction canopy and external ductwork designed to effectively manage smoke, steam, and cooking odours. The system ensures that the kitchen remains comfortable for staff and in compliance with local noise and odour regulations.

Upvc Hygienic Cladding

Following the installation of the extraction system, we proceeded to install Upvc hygienic cladding to all surfaces in the kitchen. This durable and easy-to-clean material ensures the kitchen remains hygienic, while also contributing to a sleek and modern finish. Stainless steel wall cladding was used under the extraction canopy to meet health and safety requirements.

Plumbing & Appliance Installation

With the extraction and cladding systems in place, we spent two days installing plumbing and the necessary commercial kitchen appliances. The equipment was carefully selected to ensure efficiency and reliability for the kitchen’s day-to-day operations.

🎉 Outcome and Impact

The new kitchen was successfully completed within the planned timeline, providing a compact yet highly functional space that meets all regulatory and operational needs. The improvements have streamlined kitchen workflows and enhanced service efficiency at The Rose in June, contributing to an overall better guest experience.

The trade kitchen is now fully operational, enabling the pub’s kitchen team to deliver high-quality food to customers while maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety. The seamless integration of modern features with the pub’s historic charm ensures that The Rose in June continues to thrive as a local favourite.
