It opened this year complete with purpose-built kitchen and catering facilities, thanks to the work of Shine Catering Systems.
All food is freshly prepared and cooked on the premises by the school’s in-house catering team to help meet dietary requirements and maintain quality for the complex needs of its 100 pupils.
Shine worked with main contractor Galliford Try, architects and the wider project team to design a kitchen and front-of-house serving area that met the individual requirements of the project.
As a result the catering team now benefits from an all-electric kitchen with Unox combi oven, Lincat range, Falcon fryer and Hobart dishwasher and mixer. True was chosen for refrigeration equipment, with Artisan fire shutters and Marlowe fire suppression completing the high-quality range of appliances and fittings, brought together by Shine’s design team.
The front-of-house servery, ventilation canopy and other internal fittings were manufactured by Shine, using the company’s own manufacturing facility.
Shareen Charles, kitchen chef from Majorie McClure School said: “Shine have delivered us the kitchen we had dreamed of, built to our individual requirements and with the equipment we need to deliver our menus with speed, consistency and value.
“We were delighted with the service throughout the project and looking forward to making the most of the new facilities.”
