The Angel at Hetton
The Angel Inn at Hetton is widely regarded as the UK’s original gastropub. The ancient inn has origins which date back to the 15th century, forming the basis of hundreds of years of delicious dining and drinking history. In recent years it has held the reputation of being the destination establishment, in one of the most exquisite corners of the North Yorkshire Dales. Famous for its food as well as its warm, welcoming atmosphere – it has maintained a strong following among locals as well as with customers from all over the world.
The Brief
One of the key changes was to transition from gas to an Ecochef all electric kitchen. Michael explained: “We felt very strongly that it was important to move away from LPG gas and over to electricity, to allow us to create an energy efficient kitchen that would be future-proof.”
The major obstacle faced by the design and engineering team the planned kitchen would create a peak electrical load that was considerably more than the old gas powered one had required. Unfortunately, the local substation was already operating at capacity, and the cost to upgrade it, to cope with the new kitchen’s peak load, would have been around £200,000.
