BAR ESSENTIALS

Frima helps The Midland Hotel meet high standards The Midland Hotel in Manchester aims for the highest banqueting standards, while serving up to 900 covers at a time.

Recently, the hotel updated its banqueting kitchen in a £250,000 refurbishment. As well as replacing gas with induction, installing a new island suite and Rational combi steamers, the new kitchen saw the introduction of two new high tech appliances, in the shape of Frima VarioCooking Centers VCC311. One has the option of pressure cooking.

“They are fantastic pieces of kit,” says executive head chef Brian.

“We’d heard about their features and what they could do. Then I went to a demonstration and was amazed by the scope of their abilities.”

The Big Smoke

Williams makes waves at the waterfront The extension to Belfast’s Waterfront Hall has doubled the size of the facilities, which should contribute £39m per year to business and tourism. Williams supplied the coldrooms, blast chillers, undercounter and upright refrigeration. Sustainability is a key criteria within the Waterfront project, as is future-proofing equipment and many of the counters and cabinets supplied by Williams are hydrocarbon versions. Using hydrocarbon refrigerant reduces energy consumption, due to its excellent thermodynamic properties, and counts towards Waterfront Hall’s BREEAM credits.

A favourite whisky for those loving the Islay malts, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky has a stunning smoky blend that is big on flavour.

The Big Smoke was created to blend malt whiskies from some of the islands most iconic distilleries. A past Silver Award winner at the International Wine & Spirits Competition, the peat smoke and coastal sweetness runs through this whisky in spades. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is a gentle introduction to the Islay style. The bonfire and seaweed characteristics are wrapped up in layers of sweet vanilla from the fresh American Oak. In blind taste tests, Whisky Magazine heralded it as “sweet like a well cooked scallop with little smoky hints of spices and cream and well balanced”.

The sweet smell of warewashing Even the most careful manual clean or most effective selfcleaning programme will leave tiny mineral deposits in warewashers. Over time these can grow and, as well as potentially damaging the unit, can lead to unpleasant odours. To combat this, Winterhalter has developed a cleaning tablet, the A 15 MC, for use with its UC series of undercounter warewashers. It gets rid of the deposits, leaves a clean, fresh fragrance, delivers a new level of hygienic cleaning and removes any trace of mineral deposits and limescale, extending the life of the machine.

Its range includes utensil washers, advanced water treatment machines, cleaning chemicals and detergents.

For details, call Winterhalter on 01908 359000, see www. winterhalter.co.uk or email info@winterhalter.co.uk.
