The Story Cafe is a cozy cafe & restaurant in The Marlowes Hemel Hempstead. Our restaurant is ideal for all occasions with delicious food & friendly Services.

What was required?

This Café – Bistro nestled in Hemel Hempstead was looking to achieve a cosy environment with a front of house display fridge for all fresh Cakes & Sandwiches and a compact kitchen for all their cooking.

The result ?

For the Story Café, the main challenge was to equip a small kitchen with all the essential items as well as squeeze in a functional prep area. Here we supplied all bespoke Stainless Steel fabrications for the prep and wash area to utilise all the space in a compact kitchen. The equipment selection consisted of heavy duty Spanish Mainho Grill, a Lincat 4 Burner Cooker, Lincat double fryer and a Foster bespoke refrigerated Counter with well. We also supplied a selection of Crockery and Glassware to renovate their existing Whiteware, so as to add a touch of colour to the tables and more contemporary glassware.

THE ALBERT, based in the heart of Primrose Hill, London. This premises had been closed for six years and was fully renovated in Sept 2020, it has now returned to it’s former glory and is once again at the heart of its community.

What was required?

Having been closed for such a long time the premises needed a full refurbishment. This project also had the added challenge of having a small kitchen in the basement of this glorious establishment. As it was never serving a lot of food previously, it was necessary to create a fully functional kitchen in a tight space as well as a new preparation area and wash area.

The result?

Our design team were given free reign to propose a fully functional kitchen and wash area for old Traditional Pub project. One of the old cellars was transformed in to the wash area and just next to that a bespoke kitchen & prep station was designed, supplied and installed. A pully system was used to lower all the large equipment through the cellar trap doors just to the back of the premises (and yes, even the very large upright fridges and freezers were lowered through that)! Wash area: Bespoke Sinks for compact space & Maidaid Dishwasher. Kitchen & Prep area: Single upright Fosters Fridge & single upright Williams Freezer, a 3 door Counter Fridge with drawers & a bespoke Gantry (heated and ambient) as well as chest freezer. Fully bespoke Blueseal Cookline, Fryer and Naboo Combi Oven. Upstairs, we also supplied a Maidaid Ice Machine and 2 Door Williams Bottle Cooler to ensure there’s a cool drink for every punter.

GREEK PITTA, based in Neasden, London. Opened January 2021, this is the second premises of this new chain of authentic Greek Street Food.

What was required?

Having worked with the Greek Pitta team for their first branch, we managed to determine a layout and selection of equipment that worked for their concept and that was easily adaptable for their new premises. Full takeaway service only at present (although with plans to add some seating once permitted). It was necessary to establish enough space of their front cooking area and back preparation area allowing at least 3 chefs to move easily around the front service section. Another requirement was to ensure quick and efficient access to the back prep-area and utilise the more generous space.

The result?

Foster double door refrigeration ample storage of foods, Williams counter fridges for the front service and cook section.
