Sand le Mere Holiday Village
East Yorkshire, United Kingdom
June, 2013
In East Yorkshire, Sand le Mere sets the standard. Consistency is the key to ongoing success when offering a huge level of attractions and activities to the public. For popular holiday destinations everything needs to be in place – one misstep can drag the whole operation down.
When it came to matching the quality of cuisine with that of the surrounding countryside, Sand le Mere needed to step up. The popular holiday village has recently invested over four million pounds developing its East Yorkshire site, including a new swimming pool, gym and an entertainment venue capable of holding 400-plus. Included in this development was a new restaurant and bar. And it’s here that a modern, convenient and powerful kitchen has made a huge difference.
Working with equipment installer Joynsons Catering Equipment of Hull, Blue Seal supplied the re-development project with a range of technology from the Moffat Cobra line. Getting the balance right between speed and simplicity was crucial – and there were a number of reasons behind their choices for what went where.
With seasonal changes in visitor arrivals, staff numbers fluctuate at Sand Le Mere. Training new staff to operate the equipment needed to be quick and easy. The heavy use and general wear and tear associated with a commercial kitchen required built-tough ovens, griddles and cooktops. New equipment was therefore initially assessed for both robustness and usability.
Sand le Mere was delighted with the end result. With the major increase in visitors to the village the restaurant and bar are a popular destination. With the installation of the Cobra range Sand le Mere now consistently delivers quality meals quickly.
