🍽️ The Rose & Crown Hartlip – Full Kitchen Refurbishment for a Traditional Village Pub

Transforming a Traditional Pub Kitchen into a Modern, Efficient Space

The Rose & Crown Hartlip is a charming country village pub and restaurant, offering a cosy lounge, public dog-friendly bar, and a spacious restaurant that serves delicious home-cooked food. With its landscaped garden and plenty of outdoor seating, it’s a beloved spot for both locals and visitors.

When pub owners Sharon and Adrian decided it was time for a kitchen upgrade, they turned to Kent Commercial Kitchens to carry out a full strip-out and refurbishment of their busy kitchen. Despite the tight schedule, our dedicated team worked diligently to complete the project on time and return the kitchen on the originally scheduled date.

🔑 Scope of Work

The Rose & Crown Hartlip kitchen had all the hallmarks of a traditional, older pub kitchen – plaster walls and terracotta tiled floors. Our task was to completely overhaul the space and turn it into a modern, efficient, and hygienic kitchen that could meet the demands of their busy pub and restaurant service.

🛠️ Kitchen Refurbishment and Design

To start, we completely stripped out the existing kitchen, leaving the space ready for a full transformation. Key improvements included:

• Altro Stronghold slip-resistant vinyl was installed on the floors to ensure safety in the busy kitchen environment.

• Bioclad anti-bacterial Upvc wall cladding was added to all surfaces, providing easy-to-clean hygienic walls that help maintain high food safety standards.

• A suspended ceiling grid was fitted with LED lighting, brightening up the kitchen and improving the working environment for staff.

• We designed and installed a new extraction canopy to help remove cooking fumes and ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen.

🍳 New Catering Equipment and Appliances

We also supplied and installed new kitchen equipment from trusted manufacturers, ensuring that Sharon and Adrian had the best tools for their kitchen team. The new equipment included:

• True Refrigeration for energy-efficient storage, keeping ingredients fresh while lowering energy costs.

• Maidaid dishwashers and glasswashers, perfect for high-volume cleaning and ensuring quick turnaround times.

• Lincat catering equipment, including ovens, hobs, and fryers, known for their reliability and performance in a busy kitchen.

🎉 Outcome and Impact

The kitchen is now a bright, spacious, and efficient space that is easy to clean and maintain. Thanks to the hard work of our team, Sharon and Adrian were able to continue running their popular pub and restaurant without disruption. The new kitchen is fully equipped to handle the high demands of the business, and the modernised space reflects the quality of food and service the Rose & Crown Hartlip is known for.
