Restaurant Quality with Banqueting Quantities.
Manor by the Lake is an exclusive venue based in a Victorian manor on the outskirts of Cheltenham. The ideal location for weddings, celebrations or business conferences, on any given day it will be hosting a variety of events.
Head chef Norbert Schon explains, “At our busiest we host multiple events, anything from small family weddings to two day events with hundreds of guests. We pride ourselves on our flexibility – we cater to everyone”.
“When we started out, the traditional cookline was enough,” says Norbert. “But as the business has grown, that more traditional process was just not adequate.”
Manor by the Lake already had a RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® 201, so Norbert was already aware of the capabilities of RATIONAL equipment. “We were looking at getting another SelfCookingCenter® but we soon realised the potential of using it in conjunction with the VarioCookingCenter®, and once that possibility was in play, it became irresistible!”
The RATIONAL Solution.
“Our RATIONAL appliances have changed the way we work quite considerably, already.” Says Norbert. “For example, making stocks used to be an overnight job; we’d have to have someone working all night, checking it every half an hour to make sure it hadn’t run out of water. It was very time consuming.” With the VarioCookingCenter® now installed, that constant inspection is no longer required and the process is much faster.
The flexibility of the RATIONAL equipment has seen Manor by the Lake changing a lot of its menu in order to maximise efficiency. Using both appliances together really allows them to shine.
“That really shows how both RATIONAL units work together,” he says. “For example, we use the VarioCookingCenter® to sear chicken and then transfer it to the SelfCookingCenter® to finish it up. You get that beautiful seared colour, and it’s still wonderfully moist once it’s cooked.”
