The former Ripon Spa Hotel, now Ripon Inn, is a beautiful building which had been sadly neglected. The requirement to bring back the grandeur of the building in keeping with its heritage. The main objective was to create an efficient kitchen capable of serving a high number of customers from a very limited space, and all within the constraints of a listed building. The need for efficiency as well as the importance of optimising workflow and productivity in order to accommodate a high volume of customers without compromising on food quality or service. Furthermore, the importance of freshness in its food preparation, drawing attention to the need for sufficient preparation space, along with associated storage facilities, to support the use of fresh ingredients. The design of the kitchen incorporated sustainable materials and technologies to reduce its environmental impact and promote energy efficiency. One notable initiative was the inclusion of induction ranges and electric multi- zone planchas, both of which offer high energy efficiency and controllability. These energy efficient appliances help minimise energy consumption during cooking and contribute to the overall focus on sustainability within the kitchen. Rigorous testing and staff training ensured smooth operation. Maintenance plans were established to maintain the kitchen’s functionality and preserve its integral role in the hotel for years to come.
